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!

It completely died
I just bought this watch. I was upgrading the lily active 2 and this watch didn’t even last me a few months. It completely died. It won’t turn on or charge. I am so disappointed. I did email and I have not yet received a response. I haven’t been able to track my gym sessions since I got rid of the lily active 2.

Some good features compared to venu 3s
I got this as a replacement for the Venu 3S, which would shut off whenever I used it to swim. I couldn’t get any swim activity saved because it automatically powered down during swimming. With this one, I’ve been able to swim successfully and save all my activities.
However, I’ve noticed that the volume when receiving calls is quite low compared to the Venu 3S, and s...

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

Excellent upgrade from my vivoactive 4 and S62
An extraordinary number of USEFUL features but I still learning about what it will do. There is a reason the manual is 125 pages long

Pretty good- not amazing
I like a lot of the features the watch offers, but its execution is spotty. The wrist heart rate monitor is quite inaccurate and inconsistent, which I know both from years of working out and generally knowing my heart rate(ish) as well as wearing a chest strap when doing many workouts and seeing very different readings. This may not seem like a huge deal, but so many of...

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 co...

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.

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 d...

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 percentag...

Watch Overall Review
I’m really impressed with the Garmin Venu 4. The size is just right—not bulky, but still easy to read during workouts and daily use. It’s lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day, whether I’m running, lifting weights, or just going about my routine.

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 wi...

Heart rate monitor doesn't work...
Like the title says, the heart rate monitor is incredibly inaccurate. For example, my peak heart rate during a 45 minute HIIT class will generally show to be less than 110. This tracker also has so many features it's hard to get it set up the way you want. Been wearing it for about a month and have yet to figure it out. Also the intensity minutes tracker is totally poin...

Almost perfect
The Venu 4 does so many things but could use a few refinements. Full Maps at this price point would be nice and the ECG function is entertaining more than useful. Afib is the only thing it checks for, I have a Ventricular arrhythmia I was hoping I could monitor with this. It is visible on the ECG report but Garmin says it is a “normal sinus rhythm” when it clearly is n...

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 char...

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!
