Perfect Package
I purchased my Garmin about a month ago after much encouragement from my Garmin loving husband. It tells me everything including my best plan for the day- not leaving anything to chance. I have tried other brands of watches, rings, and bracelets and my Garmin has really helped me with understanding my body’s needs and given me a better training plan.

Fantastic biometric monitoring!
I purchased the Garmin Venu 4 for testing with our remote health monitoring platform. I am very impressed with Garmin's progress on AI insights, vivid display, graphs, SpO2 accuracy, battery life, etc. I believe that Garmin has a superior device to Whoop and their UI is rapidly catching up. They are friendly to work with and offer an Open API - unlike Whoop and Oura Ring. We wish Garmin the best success and are hopeful for partnership with them in the future to bring them into the clinical world of monitoring patients.

Fantastic. Highly Recommend
Had the Fenix Solar series but unfortunately, it was too old to get a new battery. The Fenix 4 is COLOR, which makes the graphics so much easier to read. Love that the watch is not so ‘blocky’ as my old Fenix (I’m a woman). It has all the sports i want - the Fenix was probably more overkill for me as far as the athletics it measured. The Venu-4 has everything i need and the thinner watch has more aesthetic feel for me. A winner!!

Great Watch
I just switched out from an Apple Watch and I'm so glad I did. The display on this is amazing, the battery life last five times as long as my Apple Watch did. The fitness tracking is so much better. I enjoy the morning and evening updates. I like how I can create an exercise and sync it to my phone so it will count my reps for me. I am so glad I made the switch.

So Glad I Upgraded!!!
I had been using the venue sq for about 3 years and loved it but decided it was time for an upgrade... I love the Venu 4 even better (I have the smaller version). So many new features and tracking. I love that I can easily track all my horseback riding activity as well as all the great metrics for my runs (now I need to learn about them!) and more in-depth look at my body battery and sleep history. It is already really helping me improve my fitness and sleep
habits.
I was worried it was going to be too large looking on my wrist, but it really is just about your average fitness watch, I do wish it was a little smaller, but then I might not be able to read it as well with my lovely aging eyesight.

ECG ability really important
I had a Garmin 265 that I LOVED, but it was no longer being released, and given my new onset of atrial fibrillation, a heart arrhythmia which has the potential consequence of causing a stroke, I wanted the ability to monitor my heart rhythm. My Apple Watch did this, but the battery life was abysmal! Garmin has great battery life, perfect ECG monitoring, amazing features and app syncing. It is also MARKEDLY cheaper that the Apple Watch, and flexible savings (FSA) can be applied. I have been able to monitor my heart rhythm without a hitch! The Venu 4 is a win-win all around—I have ZERO complaints, and using Connect IQ, the face is exactly what I would want to see all of the time. Perfect watch if you are someone like me!

Love the screen and features
I absolutely love the screen and overall features. Coming from a Forerunner 965, I was a little concerned that I might lose some functionality switching to the Venu 4 but I honestly haven’t noticed any loss at all.
In fact, the watch feels more useful now than ever. My eyes aren’t the best, so the display has been a huge upgrade. The screen is beautiful and much easier to read, which makes a big difference day to day.
The lifestyle tracking has also been a great addition, it serves as a helpful reminder of the habits I need to stay consistent and successful. With the improved screen, apps like Calendar, Countdown, and Weather are far more practical and enjoyable to use.
As for training features, everything seems equivalent to what I had on the 965. I don’t feel like I’ve sacrificed anything on the performance side.
Overall, it’s been a great switch.

Easy to Use & So Many Features
I had bought the Garmin Forerunner a few months ago but just switched over to the Venu4. I like the more intuitive features & settings. It connects easily to Apple phone & access to all my apps. So far I’m loving it!

Buena actualización
Me gusta mucho las nuevas funciones, la linterna me encanta, el metrónomo y lo que mas me gusta es que no se guarda la actividad por error con solo tocar la pantalla como me ocurrió antes

Amazing accountability.
This is the first time ever Making any purchase, such as a garmin Venu 4 watch. I am new to the fitness community. After losing over 200lbs fitness has become a major staple in my every day life. I recently discovered the joy of running and this is the reason I made this purchase. This watch has so many built in workouts and also helps me stay motivated and driven to continue my healthy lifestyle. I would say if your thinking about this watch make the purchase I guarantee you will be hooked.

Looks great/works great
I bought this watch 3-4 weeks ago, and so far it has been exactly what I wanted. The 45mm is the perfect size. It tracks all of my activities well with the exception of flights climbed each day. I wish there were a way to edit that and manually add my flights. That is my only complaint.
I love the strength workout coach. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks, and I plan to start using the running coach when I finish this current program. I have been a previous Fitbit and Apple Watch owner, and so far this one has been my favorite.

Very Happy!
I previously had a Venu 3 which I was happy with. Unfortunately it was lost on a trip internationally. I replaced with the Venu 4 and am very happy and feel it is a definite upgrade. Options and OS are definitely better and feel there are a few more features. I also thought the light might be gimmicky but have found it very very useful! Love the watch!

Venu 4 Review
I bought this earlier this year and have still been getting used to all the gadgets. But to say I'm obsessed is an understatement! I truly wanted an athletic watch. I like how I can still read my texts and answer phone calls if I need, but the overall functions are great. I love seeing my sleep score, stress level, and heart rate during my workouts. I also love that I don't have to charge it every night.

Amazing features.
I have always struggled with weight loss.
Often getting discouraged but with my watch and the scale I have I’m able to track so many things, the basics of steps and calories. I can also track my sleep, my hydration, my cycle etc. I’m loving this watch and my smart scale that is able to capture progress not just weight but body fat, BMI, muscle mass and water percentages.

Found my perfect watch
Believe it or not, I went through a few Garmin watches before I felll in love with this one. Did not love the Forerunner series because I wanted a nice looking every day watch. Tried out the 43mm Fenix 8, too much watch for me, bulky and built like a tank. As a petite woman I felt it was to rugged looking. Settled on the Venu 4 silver body and couldn't be happier with both appearance and functionality.

Upgrade in features & style
I got this as an upgrade to my fenix 6. The color on the screen is way better and the touchscreen and morning/evening reports are the features I didn't know I was missing before. The battery power is great. It probably will be less than my fenix for super long races but with a portable charger it would be fine. What would be perfect is if Garmin could change the charger to USB-C for better/easier charging on the go without the cable getting easily disconnected

Awesome Upgrade!
A was gifted this watch for Christmas after dropping a few hints. My Venu 2 was beat up and needed replacing. The Venu 4 has more functionality. I measured cardio against a high end home rower and it was spot on. The stroke rate reading was very close. This watch has more features and is very customizable. Very happy with it!

Great Tool
I have been using my Garmin Venu 4 for the past 4 weeks. I love it. The battery life, the sharpe screen and the ease of use make this my best fitness tool ever.

mostly perfect upgrade from venu 2
This is my 5th Garmin, moving from Vivoactive HR, Vivoactive 3 & 4 and the Venu 2.
The Venu 4 has the best display, better battery life and the most new features. The flashlight is very handy. The morning and evening report are great for personal accountability. The new timer app is a huge improvement, it saves common timers.
Three things I miss:
1. The find my car app. I used this fairly often when parking in large parking lots
2. The swipe to Garmin pay. Having to enable pay via the buttons makes it less useful than my phone
3. Setting alarms from my phone app. You have to set alarms via the watch.

Great features.
I bought this a month ago to better track my fitness journey, honestly looking for a device that provided the basics. Wow…blown away at all the features that are available and started to use more and more of these! Really pleased with the purchase, worth every penny!

The best watch
I’ve been wanting this watch ever since it came out and it’s amazing! I got it for Christmas and I’m still learning the things it can do for me. It’s cute and still sporty at the same time so you can wear it with anything. I love that you can have a garmin coach for workouts and I love the challenges, this watch helps keep me motivated to do better! The only thing is I wish there were more options for watch bands.

A nice upgrade for my training
I bought this mostly to track my sleep and heart rate.
It does so much more. I have it linked to my calorie counter and track my exercise routines including hiking, snowshoeing, weight lifting and just walking.
It's an amazing tool that helps me stay on track.

Great for hikers!
I bought my watch about two weeks ago. I’ve worn a different smart watch for 17 years. I am very pleased with the more precise GPS and altimeter on this watch. The reports it gives me for my hiking are very robust including mapping. I’m glad I bought this watch and I would recommend it to any hiker looking for better data and a long lasting battery.

Great training tool
I recently replaced my Venu 2 with the new Venu 4 and I am really liking the new features. I am still getting used to the new training tool but I really like that it works seamlessly with the watch and gives me specifics about what I should be doing that day.

So many features I'll never use them all!
I got this as an early Christmas gift to myself & I love it! The color screen, the many options of Activities & I love the daily summaries! The only downside is I have to wear it fairly loose or my skin gets a reaction from it, which I read is normal for a lot of users. Otherwise super happy with the purchase & the 10day battery life & the flashlight is an added bonus.
