In this video, we’ll take you through the setup of your new Venu Sq smartwatch and introduce you to some features you’re going to love.
After charging, download the Garmin Connect™ app to your phone to complete the easy setup process.
It will walk you through how to get your smartwatch up and running and paired with your phone.
Next, you will be prompted to set up safety and tracking features, music controls, Garmin Pay™ and more.
You can edit these features later by opening Garmin Devices from the Garmin Connect main menu,
selecting your device and choosing the feature you want to update.
Now, let’s take a look at the watch.
Swipe up or down to view the My Day widget, health stats, smart notifications, music controls and more.
Tap on “My Day” to see more details such as steps, intensity minutes, calories burned
and tap Health Stats to view heart rate, Body Battery™, stress, respiration and more.
To access the controls menu, press and hold the top button for two seconds.
In this menu, you can quickly access the Find-my-phone feature, your Garmin Pay wallet, music controls and more.
From Settings, you can connect headphones — if you have a compatible model.
You can also select and edit the order of widgets, add a shortcut, find additional settings and more.
Press the bottom button — or simply swipe right — to go back to the previous screen.
Press the top button to access activities.
Tap individual activities to select them, then press the top button to add them to your favorites list.
To edit and add more activities, press and hold the bottom button, then select Manage Apps.
Tap an activity to reorder it, remove it or add it to favorites.
When you’re done editing the list, press the bottom button to go back.
Then you can tap to select the activity when you’re ready to run, do yoga or whatever sport you choose.
To manage settings and data fields for each activity, tap on the activity, swipe up and select settings.
All set? Press the top button to start your activity,
then press the bottom button to track laps, reps or even poses during the activity.
When you want to stop an activity, press the top button.
You can press the top button again to resume the activity or tap to save or discard the activity.
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 and your location to the emergency contacts you’ve set up in Garmin Connect app.
If you have a Venu Sq – Music Edition, you can store music on your watch or even sync playlists from your third-party music providers.
To download content from your own digital music collection, install the Garmin Express application on your computer.
Then connect your watch to the computer, using the included USB cable.
Open Garmin Express.
Select your device, then select “Music” to begin transferring the songs and albums you want.
To download your music from your third-party providers such as Spotify or Amazon Music,
start by opening the Garmin Connect app and selecting the “More” icon.
Tap “Garmin Devices,” then choose your device.
Then select “Music.”
To connect to a new provider, select “Get Music Apps,”
then download the Connect IQ store app if you haven’t already.
Search for your preferred music provider to download the app to your Venu Sq.
Then you’re ready to start downloading your music.
Then, all that’s left to do is to pair your headphones using Bluetooth technology.
Just bring the headphones within range of your device and enable pairing mode.
On your watch, hold down the bottom button.
Select the settings icon, followed by “Music,” “Headphones” and “Add New.”
Select your headphones to complete the pairing process.
Now you’re ready to get out there and get moving.
Thanks for watching!
