Venu Sq Music Edition (010-02426-12)
The Garmin Venu 3S and Garmin Venu Sq Music Edition share a near-identical 41mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Garmin Venu Sq Music Edition is the slimmer of the two (11.5mm vs 12mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin Venu Sq Music Edition feels lighter (37.6g vs 40g, case only).
