Where are the differences?

Let's check out the differences between the two Wearable Fitbit Inspire 3* and Garmin Venu Sq Music* in detail.

Display

You'll get a display with both devices. Here, both Wearable have an integrated color display. In both cases, there is a touch display. the Venu Sq Music comes with a {$tg->_pa(2)}} display. The Fitbit Inspire 3 has a AMOLED display. Both devices give you the opportunity to use the always-on function.

Waterproof

Both, the Inspire 3, as well as the Venu Sq Music are waterproof, and have no further difference in this feature. Both Wearable can be used under water in depths of up to 50 m.

Battery

The Fitbit Inspire 3 sports a longer battery runtime with 10 days. the Garmin Venu Sq Music battery lasts merely for 6 days. With GPS running, the battery of the Garmin Venu Sq Music is reduced to run for 14,0 hours.

GPS

Comparing the two Wearable, only the the Garmin Venu Sq Music has integrated GPS. the Venu Sq Music uses the GALILEO technology for more accurate positioning. The Venu Sq Music also offers you the GLONASS technology. the Fitbit Inspire 3 offers you the possibility to use Connected GPS. For that, your smartphone's GPS data are used, which means you'll have to carry your phone with you. A drawback to this is the accuracy of your location since your phone's signal can be lost at times.

Heart Rate Monitor

A fitness watch without a heart rate monitor is basically useless and not advisable to buy. That's because your heart rate is one of the key elements of different calculations. For example, many devices without a heart rate monitor claim to count your calories burned too. That number will hardly be right without having access to your heart rate.

Comparing the Fitbit Inspire 3 and the Garmin Venu Sq Music, both devices offer the heart rate monitor function and score in our books. On top of that, both will monitor your heart rate 24/7. Some devices only do that when you press a button, which is practically speaking rather useless.

Measured values

Both Wearable offer you the possibility to record your sleep time. A sleep analysis can also be done, but only with the Fitbit Inspire 3. The Venu Sq Music does not have this feature.

With the Garmin Venu Sq Music the data is stored up to 8 days.

Bracelet

Being able to change your fitness watch band is a great advantage. You'll only have to worry about the color of the device itself, and not the color or material of its accompanying watch band. For pretty much every device, you can get cheap watch bands that will fit your device. You can make use of this advantage with both devices of this comparison.

Smarct functions

Getting call, text, or other notifications is a feature that both tools have. Often times, this feature is only possible with an Android device. iOS user can be left behind on this.

Contactless payment

Contactless payment is a highly useful and more in demand than ever technology. Many Wearable already offer it. Being able to do this from your wrist is even more convenient than using your smartphone or a credit card. There's a difference here between the two products, as only the Venu Sq Music enables you to pay contactless. The Venu Sq Music works with Garmin Pay.
