Thanks so much for this review. I just purchased this watch, and couldn’t figure it out for the life of me lol. Thanks again! Garmin should pay you for this
Hi, thank you. I tried numerous watches before settling on this one! I have found a bunch of cute watch bands on Amazon. I like the thinner bands because I have small wrists. It takes any standard quick release 20mm band like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 2 takes. I'll post a few links. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z5MCXJQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This 3-pack was a great deal. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SJDQ149/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I should mention that Garmin’s lug width are a tiny bit wider then the 20mm (probably so you’ll have to buy their bands, not sure). So some watch bands I buy are just fine, like the pins are a tad bit longer but one or two I have, depending on how I turn my wrist, the band will come off one side and I’ll have to re-attach it. Just an FYI.
So, in the running app, there are three screens to show up to 3 data points, each screen. Like you show. I went to the last screen - to only show one data point, which I picked heart rate. The size of the HR numbers are small, though centered. Do you know if it’s possible to make the digits larger? There is plenty of room on the screen with only one data point.
As far as I know there is not a way to change the font size though the font of that middle data point is quite large and easy to read (for me anyways). Good point though that if you’re only using one data point it would be nice to adjust the size of the font.
@@cindil.8774 thank you for responding. I couldn’t figure it out. Highly complex these sport watches. I’m a runner and my old Polar FT4 has a way larger font for HR as a single data point.
Hi, I have the Venu SQ without music. The music version will allow you to download music via a Deezer, Spotify or Amazon Music Premium accounts through an app you can download to your watch.
Hi . Do you know how I can retrieve the original watch faces? Somehow when I was trying to edit the data fields I ended up deleting two watch faces. thanks.
Which steps setting did you lose? The widget? You can get it back by long press of B button, settings wheel, widgets, tap on steps and if it asks then confirm to add it to the widget list. You can also reorder the widgets in this same screen.
Hi! Very cool video! I have a question, do you know how to turn off notifications? I keep getting notifications every time I get a Whatsapp message, Instagram, Tw. Thanks!
Thank you. It depends on what kind of phone you have but basically any notification you get on your phone you’ll get on your watch. If you hold the B button and go to settings, phone, notifications, you can select “calls only”, “calls and texts”, “show all” and “off”. Putting it in DND mode (long press A button) will stop all notifications from getting through like during sleep hours.
I have my phone synced up with the app and I still don't get messages on my watch. Can't control the music either. Any help will be gladly appreciated.
First make sure they’re enabled on your watch by long pressing the B button, settings, phone, notifications. There is a “during activity” and “not during activity”. You can select “show all”, “calls only” “calls and texts”. Make sure “show all” is on. After that, check out the following link which covers both android and iPhone for configuring notifications for the watch. support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=TLeDN92ZU0AgN4df6HakwA
As far as music is concerned with the non-music Venu SQ, if you’re using the phone for music, then as long as BT is on, you should be able to use the music player widget on the watch. It will play any app you have loaded whether it’s audible, or other music app on the phone. If you have the Music version of the Venu then you need to have the premium version of Spotify, Amazon music or Deezer (I think) in order to sync play lists. You will use the widget for playing music on the watch itself.
@@mantaslesutis5037 Yes it does. There are two versions they sell of the watch. One is the APAC and one is the ROW. The ROW version has Lithuanian- Lietuviu listed.
Sorry to hear that, you’re the first who I think has mentioned this is a problem. What are you using to listen to the video with? It plays back fine on my iPad and iPhone.

Thanks much, glad it helped! I spent so much time figuring it out myself I figured someone might benefit from it.
Great, detailed and clear video. Lots to learn. A big help for a new fitness watch user. Thanks Cindi!
Glad to hear it helped you out :). There IS a lot to learn with this watch, I agree.
Thanks so much! Your in depth video helped so much. It made learning this new activity watch a breeze!
You’re welcome. So glad it could help you!
Very helpful video. I bough my first Smartwatch yesterday and was a little bit lost. But after your video I can set up my watch how I want. Thanks 🙂
Glad it helped! There is a lot to know about this watch.
Better than the Garmin guide! Thank you so much!
Thanks. Glad it helped you out.
great video ma'am
Really informative video!
Hi! Can I ask where you found that band? I cannot find anything like that. Thank you for the video, you helped me make up my mind to purchase.

Correction: The SP02 night time function runs during your sleep hours (not just the 4 hour window of some of the older Garmin models).
Do you have the venu sq with or without music?
Hi, I have the Venu SQ without music. The music version will allow you to download music via a Deezer, Spotify or Amazon Music Premium accounts through an app you can download to your watch.
@@cindil.8774 thank you. Love your video by the way.

Did you figure this out? You can re-create them with the watch. First topic in the video.
Please review the new mi smart watch

Sure. Long press B button. Settings. Scroll to the bottom to settings. Second option is language. English is the first option.

What information box
At about 8 seconds in a black box on the top right corner. Click on it, it will take you to the video with a better volume.
Just threw mine in the river.
might be helpful if you could be heard
Yeah. I can't hear it.
Can't even hear you with the volume turned all the way up, the video is good turn the sound up
I uploaded a louder audio version today, there should be a link to it at the beginning of the video now.
All these features but video sound quality is horrible
Sorry to hear that, you’re the first who I think has mentioned this is a problem. What are you using to listen to the video with? It plays back fine on my iPad and iPhone.
Can hardly hear you!

Why does someone do a video with such poor sound quality. Can barely hear
хай 😊
can someone please let me know how to add widgets, the long press is not working for me. Neither do I see the activity type in settings :(
Thank you this video was very helpful, managed to see the widgets and add activities too!
