Hi everyone.
Bought a Venu Sq2 two days ago.
It has things that I really LOVE: good battery life, fits my hand perfectly, decent sensors, nice reports, etc.
Unfortunately, I can't upload/transfer any app or watch face.
Tried with an iPhone 14, a Macbook Pro and a Windows 11 machine (either via Bluetooth with Garmin Connect /IQ Connect), and also USB via Connect Express).
And yes, tried everything: connecting, disconnecting, both watch and phone, installed/reinstalled, hard/soft resets, etc.).
Thing is... I really would like to keep this device! The stuff I like about it, I REALLY LIKE (namely the battery life, sleep tracking, etc.)
Which is why I didn't purchase an Apple Watch: I don't need another mini-iPhone with a crappy battery life on my wrist.
But how can I ignore the fact that I paid more than 250 $/EUR for something that doesn't allow me to upload a simple app or watch face?
Like I said, I really want to keep this device.
But now I found that I also need an app that is not built-in (Jump Rope), and I can't for the life of me put it on the watch...
What a disappointment!
Glad I can ask for money back but.... what alternatives are out there (besides Garmin brand) that have good battery life and **actually work**?
Here is the information about the devices I'm using, if it matters for anything:
