Great watch. Definitely an upgrade ro the Vwnu 2 I had. It does everything I need it to do and then some. Great price point as well.

I loved the Venu 2 and the Venu 3 is even better
on January 11, 2026
Posted by: Alan in Richland
I bought this nearly a month ago and it continues to offer even better qualities than my Venu 2 that I sold for about half of what it cost me to upgrade to the new Venu 3. This is only of my favorite possessions because I use several apps nearly every day.

Great battery life and features
on January 9, 2026

Received for Christmas gift and appreciate the great battery life. I had a Fitbit which was much smaller and also very good battery life, but this watch is bigger and has a lot more features but wish it paired with an Apple iphone better.

Sleek, modern and stylish!
on January 9, 2026

I absolutely love my Garmin Venu 4. I transitioned from the more stats-driven Instinct 2 Solar, and while that watch was powerful, the Venu 4’s touchscreen and intuitive interface make a huge difference in everyday use. Starting activities is fast and seamless without needing to press multiple buttons, which is perfect for gym classes and quick transitions.
On top of that, the Venu 4 is sleek, modern, and stylish, making it easy to wear all day, at the gym, at work, or out and about. Most importantly, I still get the key training and health statistics I’ve come to rely on, all wrapped in a clean, polished design that doesn’t feel bulky or overly technical.

Missing activites
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: MMKelley
I got this as a Christmas present and while I love the update, I found that I cannot find all the activities that my Garmin 255 had. I could create one, but I’m concerned that the datapoints will not be the same. For example. Run is just run. Ther is no trail run. So either I’m
Hiking in the woods or running in the woods.

Excellent upgrade
on December 17, 2025
Posted by: Bigdog67
Bought this as a step up from my 2+ year old Forerunner 45, and only regret that I waited so long to do it. Easy to use, tons of useful features with plenty of customization options. 100% would recommend

Watch sensor
on December 10, 2025
Posted by: Johnathan Robledo
My review is based off of the sensor not being accurate with the heart rate goes on and off throughout the day it doesn’t catch you’re sleeping at night although the watches put on tight but not too tight. It just sucks. I threw away the box. And now I can’t get a refund sucks.

Good watch but some things I’m frustrated with
on November 16, 2025
Posted by: Tomy Clasy
I got this a couple weeks ago and it’s pretty solid with battery life and some features like the ekg app. The sleep tracking is terrible with it barely recording any rem for me. It usually says I get less than an hour of rem each night which I know is wrong

Good afternoon! I attached some helpful articles about how our watches track sleep data:
