Venu 4 Review
on January 29, 2026
Posted by: Sassmass
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 don't have to charge it every night.

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!

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.
I love the strength workout coach. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks, and I plan to start using the running coach when I finish this current program. I have been a previous Fitbit and Apple Watch owner, and so far this one has been my favorite.

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 continue my healthy lifestyle. I would say if your thinking about this watch make the purchase I guarantee you will be hooked.

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 the suggestions the watch gives are based on heart rate alone and or combined with other factors. So when tha variable isn’t to be trusted, it really throws off the whole data set and subsequent suggestions. I do wear it snug and about an inch from my wrist bone. But I will say to wear it too snug irritates the nerve on the inside bone of my wrist, making my hand fall asleep. So I wear it snug enough to get data but not too much so. Still- the heart rate… Also, I feel like the sleep data is spotty. There are many times it says I fell asleep an hour after going to bed which I 100% know isn’t true. I fall asleep very quickly. It also often decides to “call it” on my sleep if I awaken to use the restroom in the morning but still have over an hour of sleeping to do. So that’s a bummer. But I do like the idea of the watch and the idea of having something help with training suggestions based on sleep, HRV and stress. So I will keep it but really wish I trusted it more. And probably would not buy another one. Finally- please add ballet as an “activity”. I can’t believe gaming is on there but ballet isn’t. ?!

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
