Prime Day is dying, but this $150 Garmin deal on Best Buy still lives

Looking for an entry-level Garmin watch to try out the ecosystem without spending boatloads? The $100-off Garmin Venu Sq 2 is an intriguing option.

That's why I'm recommending the Venu Sq 2 as an affordable gateway into the world of Garmin, to see if you can change your lifestyle and become more fit with a little help, while also benefiting from perks like an 11-day battery life, all-systems GNSS tracking, and a 1.4-inch AMOLED display. One of the slightly more expensive models, the Vivoactive 5 at $199.99, might appeal more because it has newer tracked data like post-workout recovery time with HRV stress and naps, plus more sports modes and music storage. Channeling his love of running, he established himself as an expert on fitness watches, testing and reviewing models from Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Apple, COROS, Polar, Amazfit, Suunto, and more.
