Venu 4 crosses needs of daily and running use
on November 15, 2025
Posted by: KS runner
I chose the Venu 4 to replace my Forerunner 645 Music. I picked the Venu 4 instead of going with the Venu 3 for price because I wanted similar GPS capability and running stats that I enjoyed on my Forerunner. I wanted something that looked nice for daily wear at my job as well, so I did not chose the Forerunner 245 which would have been similar to my 645. The Venu 4 connects more reliably with my phone than the 645 did, looks great for daily wear, and gives me all the running info I have come to expect. Battery length is a huge upgrade for me too. Love it!
After three years of continuous use the battery on my Venu 2 started to decrease 20% per day. Since I was very happy with my Venu 2 I decided to upgrade to the Venu 4. It was the right decision. Not only did it have a built-in application for racquetball, the updated features, crisp display and available watch faces made the upgrade a no brainer. I would recommend this watch. I'm sure I'll be purchasing one for my wife when it comes time for her to upgrade her Venu 2.
I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago, and it’s my first Garmin. It has many great features, but for me, the lower button feels poorly designed — it’s hard to press and a bit uncomfortable to use. That’s why I requested an exchange, though it seems this might be a common issue.
I purchased the Venus 4 ~1.5 month ago to restart my fineness journey. It has not disappointed so far. The goal was to use it to log daily active etc ( heart rate, steps, and sleeping). I have used it with my chest heart rate monitor and the reading is relatively in sync when I workout. I appreciate the ECG function also. But the sleek look and still maintain to be use in rugged applications is also a great feature.
I bought the watch to track my workouts better, which it does. The bands are horrible and kind of cheesy for switching them out, needs improvement for sure. Not many options either.
This is my 3rd Garmin watch. I absolutely love this watch. I am still learning about all it can do. I am 73 so it takes me a bit, but that's the fun in it.
I bought this watch a few weeks ago and this watch has been one of the best purchases I have made. This watch has amazing battery, a extremely bright flashlight, and one of my favorite features are the ability to take calls on the watch. Also, they have included a Garmin watch assistant. You can ask it to set timers, alarms, and much more. I highly recommend this watch.
