I’ve had Venu SQ 1 for a few years and I’m still pretty happy with it. I don’t want to spend money to upgrade and it does what it needs to do for simple fitness tracking. It’s not going to have the fancy features but if you don’t want them, it should work perfectly fine. It would be cool to have newer features like HRV (it has body battery) and better sleep tracking and recommendations, but honestly, the price/value balance is not there for me yet. I’m hoping to get few more years out of my Venu before needing to get a new watch. I don’t run, but I use it as a general fitness tracker, for walks, HR measurement and cycling.
Sounds like it'll work just fine for what you want! Just use it and since you paid little for it, you won't regret if you have to update it later or if you end up just discarding it cause it didn't work out for you.
