Garmin Venu 4 41mm is spectacular!
As I'm getting older, I've been tracking my health more. A little over a year ago I purchased a popular smart ring. I was impressed with the health information found in the phone app and liked the convenience of a small ring. But after the battery of the ring went belly up after a year, I decided that it might be good to have my finger back and began looking at smart watches.....more than just a health device, a watch as well.
Thought about getting a same name brand watch as my cell phone for compatibility but also took a look at Garmin's selection. I had previously purchased a Garmin D2 Delta S aviation watch in 2018 and was impressed with all of the options contained withing the watch itself. With today's technology improvements I was surprised just how advanced their watches have become, so full of data on my wrist instead of needing to look at an app on my phone. The Garmin app compliments the watch information and allows additional information to be added/modified.
I love the 41mm size for my smaller wrist and the higher-end appearance of the craftsmanship of the watch and watch face. The graphics are great, the colors vivid and the ability to make and answer phone calls on the watch and respond to text messages without having to dig thru my purse to find my phone is an added bonus.
I'm still learning all of the new technology of this watch but want to say that once again Garmin has once again exceeded my expectations!

a Flashlight!!
I love the new features in the Venu4. I upgraded from the Venu 2. I used the flashlight right away during a prolonged power outage at work. The activity list is enhanced and easier to use.

Amazing, Flashlight is essential!
So far so good. I went with this one for a better office companion. Design is clean and sleek goes perfect with professional and casual office wear. Tracks my sleep and workouts super well. Love the morning and afternoon reports. Overall amazing, cant complain the more I have it the more I've learned and the better it gets. The flashlight is amazing, you don't know how bad you need it until you need it.

Incredible battery life.
The watch does take some getting used to, but that is probably due to all the functions it has, some that I won't use. But the functions will likely be useful to others who have different exercise or health routines than I do, and its good to have choices in functionality. The screen is clear and bright. Integration with My Samsung cell phone was a snap, and the battery life is incredible. I've owned a number of similar products over the years, but nothing that matches the quality or capability of the Venue 4. It's a great watch.

A lot of data provided
This is my third Garmin watch I was happy with my Vivomove sport then went into a-fib, decide I wanted a watch with ECG function. Still working on figuring all the data this watch can present.

The switch from apple was so worth it.
I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago after lots of research and wanting to switch from an Apple watch to track my runs, cycling and xc skiing I do. But I didnt want to loose some of the features like notifications and calling with phone nearby that the apple watch offered. But the biggest reason I wanted to switch was because of the battery life. I was tired of charging my apple watch each night, or at various times throughout the day so I would have charge for workouts and sleep. The Garmin Venu was the answer I was looking for!

Garmin Venu 4 Review – Perfect for What I Needed
I’m older and wanted a sports watch that actually looks like a regular watch instead of a bulky fitness tracker. The Garmin Venu 4’s stainless steel design caught my eye right away.
I was hesitant to buy it after seeing many complaints on Garmin forums about restarts when playing music on Bluetooth headphones during runs. When it arrived, I loaded my music, paired my headphones, and have now used the watch every day for 3 weeks (strength training, walking, and intervals). I’m happy to report I’ve had zero issues with restarts or crashes.
I really like how it looks on my wrist and the bright AMOLED screen is much easier for me to read. It tracks my workouts well and feels comfortable all day.
Battery life has been solid too. Overall, it’s exactly what I was hoping for.

Amazing
I traded my Apple Watch for the Garmin Venu 4 and first thoughts was how amazing the battery lasts. I’ve had it for a month and only charged it twice! I have an irregular sleep pattern due to working nights and it tracks every sleep I make. So many features are more accurate and function better than the Apple Watch ever could. I love it

Love the features though wish we could edit the name on some gym exercises or add the ones that are missing. Also if you could create your own saved or favorite exercises to repeat and use daily or whenever you want. This would so helpful to do on a daily basis

I love it!
Couldn’t be more happy with this! I switched over from Apple Watch because the battery life was better with Garmin only to come to find out it’s all around better. Couldn’t be happier with the switch. It did take some getting used to and figuring out navigate around but that with anything new. Still learning all the amazing features!

VERY nice feature set and look
I got this watch about a month ago (alongside a Galaxy Z-Fold 7) as a replacement for my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I prefer a round watch and one that is ecosystem independent was my top goal. The watch is very nice looking and has some great features for health tracking and overall lifestyle touches. There are a few spots where a fully integrated smartwatch is superior (focus modes, alarms, tighter access to the digital assistant) but those are nice on paper (at least for me) and what I get with the Venue and it 9 day + battery longevity are more than enough for me. Grabbed a couple of nicer bands for dressing it up, and applying and armorsuit protector to keep the Gorilla glass scratch free and couldn't be happier.

Fully loaded with style!
I have had my Venu 4 45mm for several weeks now. After getting through a lost first shipment which Garmin was not at fault for, I am extremely happy with my purchase. It has more "bells and whistles" than I could ask for! I'm still getting accustomed to the watch functions and love the style and fit. It has excellent battery life which has really impressed me. This is my second Garmin Venu watch.

Love it!
I rarely write a review but I love this watch so much I decided to. I have tried the competitor watch. As a busy mom, that's not for me. I can't charge it daily. I love the screen on this watch, the fact I rarely need to charge it, and I use the flashlight when I got into my kids rooms in middle of the night or morning. I workout at orange theory and the heart monitor works perfectly. I was hesitant on this watch bc I had a couple of older garmins that were fine...but the upgrades to this one is noticeable and worth it to me!

Was never disappointed
I was never disappointed switching to Garmin Venu 4. The 10 days battery life was a game changer. You can track your sleep scores because you don’t need to charge your watch every night and comes with so many other health activities including Pickleball that I love.

Great watch
I love my new watch. I own many timepieces but it's my first smartwatch. I do hot yoga and hot mat pilates for the last two plus years and never knew the impact on my body. This gives me clear insights on everything. Also sleep tracking is huge and those nights where you either stay up to late and or too many drinks really impacts your sleep health. Overall everything has been great and zero issue I would definitely recommend this watch ⌚️ 👌🏻

Great features! Light weight and so cute.
It's been about a month with my new Garmin (coming from an apple watch) and It's been so much nicer! The activity button that allows me to stop and start a workout is exactly what I've been missing! I really love the sleep stats each morning and the overall detials the garmin watch has over apple. I will never go back!

100% better than Apple Watch. Battery itself is a game changer. Extensive health and fitness metrics. Can’t really go wrong.

Perfect for everyday
I bought this two months ago. I love how accurate the heart rate monitor is. The sleep tracking is excellent and gets my naps in. The watch is light and easy to sleep at night with. The flashlight is something I won’t go without again. Overall an amazing functional fitness watch. Would recommend.

The upgrade you wanted but didn’t know you needed
I have had the Venu 2S for 7 years and loved it! The 4 is the upgrade I was looking for. I love the data and training stats that it provides. The clear graphics and touch screen are a welcomed perk!

Love it!
I have had the watch for about a month, and absolutely love it. Previously I had the Garmin Venu and this upgrade was fantastic. I love all the features! The workouts have been a great addition, the Morning and Evening reports are great to get an overall view of your day/sleep and how your body is handling stress/workouts etc.

A Powerful Fitness Smartwatch
I’ve been using my Garmin Venu 4 for about a month now, and overall I’m really impressed with it.
The build quality feels premium and the AMOLED display is bright, sharp, and easy to read even in sunlight. One of the biggest things I like is the health tracking — it keeps track of heart rate, sleep, stress, and workouts very accurately. The Body Battery feature is also pretty cool because it helps you understand when your body is ready for activity or needs rest.
Battery life has been solid too. Even with regular workouts and notifications turned on, I can go several days without needing to charge it, which is a big plus compared to many other smartwatches.
The fitness features are great for both casual workouts and more serious training. It has built-in GPS, lots of workout modes, and the Garmin app gives detailed insights about your activity and progress.
Overall, after a month of daily use, the Garmin Venu 4 has been a great investment for tracking health, staying active, and keeping up with notifications without constantly checking my phone.

Best Fitness Tracker all around
Bought it to see how it stacked up with my Fitbit charge 6 which I’ve been using for years, and my oura ring 4. Fibit was my activity tracker for many years and my standard. Oura ring was not the same in activity tracking though great for sleep, The Garmin Venu 4 blew the Fitbit away there’s no comparison, and the sleep tracking is comparable to Oura and offers so much more. I stopped using the Fitbit and will keep Oura for now. Garmin worked great and offers other options like a scale and hear monitor which I also purchased and love.

Love all the features this watch has
Great watch. I love the notifications, texts and phone calls. I don't have to dig my phone out every time. I love the amount of activities that are available to see. Everyone comments on the colorful display that is easy to change. I like the safety features and know that I can trigger help easily with my location.

Nice upgrade!
I been using this Venu for the last month after my Venu 2 wouldn't hold a charge for very long. Really like the new added features they have now. Floors climbed for example. Great screen as well. I did go ahead and get the Connect + and that has been good as well. It still needs the things added to make it great and I expect they are still working on that.

Love the Venu 4. I came from Whoop after 5 years and the data the Venu 4 and the connect app provide are the same if not better.
