Sq 2 smartwatch and introduce you to some features you’re going to love
First, download the Garmin Connect™ app to your compatible smartphone
Turn on the watch by holding the top button until you see the start-up animation

Now let’s talk about using your smartwatch
To wake up the display, you can either double tap the touchscreen,
press a button, or lift your wrist and rotate it toward your body

Press and hold the bottom button to bring up the main menu
Here you can change your watch face, open your alarms,
stopwatch and timer, and access watch settings

turn on battery-saver mode and more
This is also where you’ll configure health and fitness features,
such as setting abnormal heart rate alerts or turning on Pulse Ox
From any screen, press and hold the top button for two seconds to
view the controls menu where you can access quick functions such as music,
find-my-phone and Garmin Pay™, as well as see your remaining battery
Press the bottom button, or simply swipe from left to right, to go back to the previous screen

Now, if you have a Venu® Sq 2: Music Edition,

Start by setting up Wi-Fi®
While in-range of your Wi-Fi® network, open the Garmin Connect™ app and select the “More” icon
Swipe down and tap “Garmin Devices”
Then, select your device
Select “Connectivity”,
“Wi-Fi”, “My Networks” and finally, “Add a Network”
Then select an available network and enter the login details
To finish, select “Connect”
To connect to a third-party provider, hold the top button to bring up the controls menu,
tap on the music icon then tap “IQ”
You can use the Garmin Connect™ app on your smartphone to download and
install one or more of your preferred music providers
However, you can also download them directly from your watch
Press and hold the bottom button, then select “Music Providers” followed by “Add Provider”
Select the music provider you want to download from the list
Select your favorite music provider to finish setting up the app
and syncing music from the music provider your chose
You can also download content from your own digital music collection to your watch
Start by installing the Garmin Express application on your computer
Then connect your watch to the computer using the included USB cable
Open Garmin Express
If this is your first time connecting to Garmin Express, choose “Add a Device”
Garmin Express will find the watch connected to your computer
Follow the on-screen instructions
When done, select “Music” to begin transferring the songs and albums you want
Then, all that’s left to do is pair your headphones
Just bring the headphones within range of your device and enable pairing mode on them
On your watch, hold down the bottom button
Select the settings icon, followed by “Music”,
“Headphones”, and “Add New”
Then, tap the checkmark
Select your headphones to complete the pairing process
To activate the Assistance feature, press and hold the top button longer
than you would to access the controls menu until the watch vibrates three times
This will send a message with your location to the
emergency contacts you’ve set up in Garmin Connect™
Now you’re ready to get out there and get moving
But before you do, here’s an important tip for the wear and care of your Venu® Sq 2 device
To clean your smartwatch, use a dampened lint-free cloth and water to rinse
For cleaning debris in the charging port, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush,
but always take care not to use sharp objects to clean the unit
And that’s all there is to it
Thanks for watching!
