Love this watch, but………..

I love thi swatch and all the features and statistics it has to offer. The only problem is, and I know Garmin is aware and are working on a solution, is that there is a problem with the watch freezing up, periodically shutting off on its own and music just stopping mid workout. I did send my first Venu4 watch back and it was exchanged for a new one and the new one seems to be working just fine, but it is not the same story foe my husband who is still having these issues with his new one. I do recommend this watch, but I might hold back on purchasing until they get all the issues fixed.
I've had this watch for a couple weeks now and the amount of features it has compared to my Fitbit Versa 2 is astounding. I love personalizing the face watch and the sleep/stress tracker. This is my first Garmin product and I am very happy with my purchase!
I really wanted the expanded running features like Training Readiness, etc. and the Venu 4 has been an amazing upgrade. An unexpectedly useful feature has also been the flashlight. I use it a ton. Really happy with the watch.
I've had it about a month now. I am still learning but I am impressed with all the lifestyle support the watch gives me. I really wanted the sleep, heart rate monitoring and ECG analysis, all of which are working great. I'm surprised at how much I watch the Body Battery and Training Readiness to support my training decisions. The content of the watch face and workout faces area great, and the color and readability are wonderful. I am very happy with it.
I had to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to change the language of the watch from French to English. I still haven't discovered how to set up the watch to sense sleep time.
I swear I need to give my Garmin a nickname with how close we've gotten, it's basically my best friend!! The health features getting tracked are amazing, I continue to learn about new features every day. I would highly recommend this watch for anyone wanting to track health features with a mix between lifestyle and training.
