Garmin is great – Does everything I need it to. Got this for my husband who has early Alzheimer's and wanted to be able to locate him if required. Show details
Waste of money – Such a regret. Bought for my elderly mother and It won’t receive calls/msg at all times, just occasionally. I had to reinstall app twice and still same problem. Spent day in YouTube searching for the possible issues. But what worse, there is no refund. I have been contacting Customer service for months and they are trying to get away with any… Read more
way, saying it’s my phone is the issue not the watch or get another phone and try again. Seriously guys!? I reported them to Fair Trading.
No wonder it is discontinued – This was a total waste of money. The settings are not intuitive and require hours of searching on Youtube to even use. The activities are limited. It is impossible to set the date even if you can manage to manually set the time. The buttons require deep pressure to even register on the device. Worse purchase. Should have bought an apple watch instead. Show details
Absolute Nightmare – This would be my least favourite so-called smartwatch, it disconnects from my phone weekly for no reason that I'm able to find and will not reconnect. Turn off the phone turn off the watch, turn them back on, nothing tried it all. All I managed to achieve was to lose my settings Show details
Poor user controls and poor for hikers – I had a Fitbit ionic and when recalled thought I would try this compact and supposedly good smart watch. Unfortunately the user controls aren’t intuitive and function of the touch screen erratic. There also doesn’t appear to be a dedicated hiking exercise mode and using walking mode instead doesn’t seem to provide for the practical differences… Read more
that the Fitbit did.
I have had times when the reported data for the same walk and same level of effort varies by over 20%? The Fitbit was always more intuitively correct and consistent.
Unfortunately I won’t go for a Garmin again - waiting for it to die so I can return to Fitbit…

Amazing smartwatch – I got this watch for Christmas last year and have been extremely satisfied with it. The health features are amazing coming from an Apple Watch Series 3. The stress levels, body battery, blood oxygen, advanced sleep tracking, hydration tracking are all excellent. I also love being able to do challenges with a family member who has a vivóactive 4S.… Read more
Notifications, music, and weather are all great as well. Being able to reply is Android exclusive though, but luckily I am using a Samsung phone. Also price for features is amazingly good. 10/10.
Good for user under 40 years old with good eyes – Font is too small and cannot be increase. Garmin Ingeneers have been refusing to update the software since 2018 to do so. (Source Garmin forums). Show details
Sent False Incident Report to Loved Ones – This watch does what its meant to and has not missed a beat. One morning whilst cycling my watch decided to send incident warnings to my emergency contacts, when they were unable to contact me they then phoned the 3 nearest hospitals and started searching for where the incident may have occurred. After 40mins we spoke and I confirmed I was OK. … Read more
So the Incident system can be effective shame it is activated without cause, not a great feeling for your loved ones. Garmin Australia can only be contacted by phone during weekday business hours, no facility to leave details of fault
Garmin Venu Sq Review: Not worth it! – Garmin Venu Sq smartwatch came out in September 2020, two years ago, but it feels very outdated after two years. The smartwatch's accuracy was excellent. The exercise and heart rate monitoring were all wonderful, but the ease of using the watch was annoying. The software experience in the smartwatch felt very outdated and was laggy when you put a… Read more
fancy background. This smartwatch has Garmin Pay and all the additional benefits you get when using a Garmin Watch (in the Garmin app) I would recommend this smartwatch for people who only need it for monitoring their fitness and another way of paying.
Great product with minor drawback – I purchased the Garmin Venu sq music edition so that I could track my run without having to carry my phone. With a very comfortable fit, the watch is great for all workouts and doesn’t limit my wrist when doing movements such as push ups. The watch does all of the basic smart watch functions well and is easy to learn for new users. I payed… Read more
extra and purchased the music edition so that I could connect my headphones and “leave the phone at home” while still having the ability to listen to music while I run. However, it is apparent across other reviews that this edition has many troubles with connecting to wifi to download the music. Unfortunately I ran into the same issue and have to hotspot my watch from my phone to download the songs. Sadly, even hotspotting only works occasionally.
Although this is a great watch, forking out the extra $100 to have the music edition is not worth it and if I were to purchase another Garmin, I would get the basic edition that does all of the same functions excluding the music
Good entry level Garmin watch – Had this watch for a couple of weeks and used it to track a number of activities, heart rate, sleep, etc. and found it good to use so far. No issues with connectivity, and very smooth setup to get all notifications on my watch which I was surprised to find, as I mainly bought this for the fitness aspects. Good for tracking a range of different activities and the heart rate monitor is pretty accurate for a wrist based device. Show details
