The Garmin Venu Sq 2 could be exactly what your wrist has been waiting for.

And right now, Amazon Australia has slashed the price by 36 per cent, bringing it down to just $254.26 (usually $399) — but only for a limited time.

With a sleek design in Shadow Gray and Slate and a bright AMOLED display that’s easy to read at a glance, this watch isn’t just smart, it’s stylish. It even includes an always-on mode, which makes quick time checks or fitness updates feel effortless.

But the real magic of the Venu Sq 2 is what’s happening behind the screen.

You’ll get a full picture of your health with built-in features that track everything from your Body Battery energy levels, sleep score and hydration, to stress levels, respiration and even women’s health.

And thanks to up to 11 days of battery life in smartwatch mode (or 26 hours in GPS mode), you won’t be stuck recharging it every night. That means better consistency and more accurate tracking of your 24/7 wellness.

Like to switch up your workouts? The Garmin Venu Sq 2 has more than 25 indoor and GPS-enabled sports apps built in — including cycling, walking, swimming, HIIT, golf, yoga and more.

And if you want a little help getting started, you can tap into Garmin Coach training plans or use the free preloaded workouts via the Garmin Connect app.

From a practical point of view, the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lens, lightweight aluminium bezel and comfortable silicone band make it durable enough for everyday wear, while still looking chic enough to pair with your day-to-night wardrobe.

You’ll also stay in the loop with smart notifications from your Apple or Android phone, including calls, texts and social alerts, so there’s no need to pull out your phone in the middle of a gym class or yoga session.

One verified shopper raved, “I switched from a Fitbit to this watch and wish I did it sooner. It’s easy to use, more accurate for sleeping and heart rate, the battery life is amazing, and it stays connected and sends me notifications! I have already recommended this watch to people and will continue to do so.”

With features that go far beyond step tracking, this is the kind of smartwatch that makes a real difference to your day — whether you’re trying to move more, sleep better, or just feel more in control of your health.
