Really like it!

I thought this about 2 weeks ago and I’ve really liked it. I’ve never had a Garmin before and found it difficult to work with. But with a little bit of daily experimentation I’ve been figuring it out and I’ve been an overall more active person since getting it!

Not even close to Apple Watch

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

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!

So far so good. I was previously a forerunner fan. Just tonight I had it shut off and go into incident mode, not sure how this happened but I wasn't doing anything, lol. Still in the new phase with this one.

Upgrade from Apple
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: gosgos
So far, I like this watch. The battery life is wonderful and I love the sleep tracking, training readiness, etc. I chose this over an apple watch for those reasons, and can’t imagine going back.
I dislike that 1) I get prompted to take an activity break while in the midst of activities lol and 2) how clunky it is to navigate around. I’m still figuring it out somewhat.
I also found the watch super uncomfortable with the silicone band, but once I purchased a different band I didn’t notice it at all.

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
on March 16, 2026

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.
