Amazon Cuts Garmin Venu Sq 2 to $149.99, Matching $100-Off Record Low

Q: Is Garmin's record-low price a true bargain or a sign that a newer, better model is just around the corner?

It is both a real bargain and a sign the Venu Sq 2 is no longer Garmin’s newest thinking. At $149.99, the watch is objectively strong value. It is down $100 from its $249.99 list price, meets the usual standard for a meaningful deal, and offers features that still matter in 2026: a bright AMOLED screen, built-in GPS, up to 11 days of battery life, Garmin Pay, and broad health tracking without a subscription. For buyers who want a dependable fitness-first smartwatch rather than a mini phone on the wrist, that package is hard to beat at this price. But the discount also reflects the model’s age. The Venu Sq 2 launched in 2022, and newer Garmin watches now offer more advanced sensors, better GPS options, newer recovery tools, and more modern designs. Reports around Garmin’s lineup suggest the company is shifting toward newer square and round models, with the Sq line widely seen as due for replacement or retirement. Software support for older Garmin families also tends to slow as the company unifies newer platforms. That means the answer depends on the buyer. If you want maximum value right now, especially for battery life, health tracking, and casual training, this is a genuine bargain. If you care about having Garmin’s latest sensor tech, longer-term software attention, ECG or skin-temperature-style upgrades, or the best GPS accuracy, this low price is also a warning that a newer model is likely not far off.
