Awesome Upgrade!
on January 16, 2026
Posted by: LenVite
A was gifted this watch for Christmas after dropping a few hints. My Venu 2 was beat up and needed replacing. The Venu 4 has more functionality. I measured cardio against a high end home rower and it was spot on. The stroke rate reading was very close. This watch has more features and is very customizable. Very happy with it!

Upgrade in features & style
on January 17, 2026
Posted by: Carol V
I got this as an upgrade to my fenix 6. The color on the screen is way better and the touchscreen and morning/evening reports are the features I didn't know I was missing before. The battery power is great. It probably will be less than my fenix for super long races but with a portable charger it would be fine. What would be perfect is if Garmin could change the charger to USB-C for better/easier charging on the go without the cable getting easily disconnected

Almost perfect
on January 18, 2026
Posted by: Jerbear8715
The Venu 4 does so many things but could use a few refinements. Full Maps at this price point would be nice and the ECG function is entertaining more than useful. Afib is the only thing it checks for, I have a Ventricular arrhythmia I was hoping I could monitor with this. It is visible on the ECG report but Garmin says it is a “normal sinus rhythm” when it clearly is not.

Heart rate monitor doesn't work...
on January 19, 2026
Posted by: Jesskat
Like the title says, the heart rate monitor is incredibly inaccurate. For example, my peak heart rate during a 45 minute HIIT class will generally show to be less than 110. This tracker also has so many features it's hard to get it set up the way you want. Been wearing it for about a month and have yet to figure it out. Also the intensity minutes tracker is totally pointless since my heart rate tracker is inaccurate. I miss my old fitness tracker. Wish I hadn't spent so much on this thing!

Found my perfect watch
on January 22, 2026
Posted by: Felice
Believe it or not, I went through a few Garmin watches before I felll in love with this one. Did not love the Forerunner series because I wanted a nice looking every day watch. Tried out the 43mm Fenix 8, too much watch for me, bulky and built like a tank. As a petite woman I felt it was to rugged looking. Settled on the Venu 4 silver body and couldn't be happier with both appearance and functionality.

Watch Overall Review
on January 22, 2026
Posted by: Tich
I’m really impressed with the Garmin Venu 4. The size is just right—not bulky, but still easy to read during workouts and daily use. It’s lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day, whether I’m running, lifting weights, or just going about my routine.
The watch is very easy to operate. The touchscreen is responsive, and the menus are intuitive, so it didn’t take long to learn how to navigate through workouts, stats, and settings. Everything feels well-organized and user-friendly.
What I love most is how much it’s helped me grow in both running and weight lifting. The activity tracking, workout guidance, and performance insights keep me motivated and consistent. It makes it easy to track progress, set goals, and push myself a little further each week.
Overall, the Garmin Venu 4 is a great fitness watch that combines comfort, simplicity, and powerful training support. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their fitness journey.

Amazing features.

I have always struggled with weight loss.
Often getting discouraged but with my watch and the scale I have I’m able to track so many things, the basics of steps and calories. I can also track my sleep, my hydration, my cycle etc. I’m loving this watch and my smart scale that is able to capture progress not just weight but body fat, BMI, muscle mass and water percentages.
