I've had this watch now for over 3 years. It's pretty reliable. Occasionally it will disconnect from my Garmin Connect app on my android phone. Then I have to reconnect and pair to my phone. I would like them to update the list of activities and add pickleball. The strength option is ool on the Connect app as it shows which muscle groups you have worked. I find I am not using the music very much.

A year ago I purchased the Fenix 6S and wore it nearly every day. I found it was too much watch for me. Too many features I didn't use, and too large. However I was extremely satisfied with its durability. So I decided to go down in features and get the Venu Sq. First of all, I didn't want the music edition as I will not use it, however for the all black look I had to get that version. That is one reason for knocking off one star. The other reason is that even though it is supposed to be made with Gorilla Glass just like the Fenix, after only one week of wearing my Venu, the surface has multiple scratches! I am a very active person and by no means claim to be gentle on my Garmin products. All of my other products have always held up to my lifestyle. To give you some examples, I hiked 700 miles of the Appalachian Trail with my Fenix wearing it constantly day and night. I spearfished with it and wore it boating. I once slammed it against a hard surface on accident. Not a scratch a year later. I expected the same durability out of the Venu. But like I said, after wearing it for one week (including one spearfishing trip and one kayaking trip), it has multiple scratches. I can't even remember a time I noticeably knocked it against a surface either. All in all, I am still enjoying the watch. It is stylish and has the right amount of features and settings. It makes a great day to day smartwatch. But if you are a very active person like me, it might not be durable enough for your needs. I am going to take the chance and keep on going with it. Really, for the cost, if it lasts a year and scratches up or breaks, I think the year of use will be worth it.

So far so good. My main complaint is that the screen is touchy. I have a hard time selecting activities because it'll pick something I didn't mean to pick as it scrolls and it sometimes will take several attempts until I get the right one. Frustrating at times so I will have to see if it continues to be a problem. I have yet to utilize all the features to give a full review at this time. I was looking for something basic and easy to use and it's hits most criteria.
