I upgraded from a Venu 2S. I appreciate so much about the Venu 4: more detailed insights available, increased activity options for tracking, battery life, and the reports to name a few. The change was well worth it.
First, mine is a 41 mm not 45 mm. I upgraded from a Venu 2 41 mm. The 4 has a much more attractive interface and is mostly intuitive. It also has some new features I appreciate. However, I was hoping its tracking performance would be better than the old one. The 2 was very inconsistent for tracking sleep. I believe the 4 is probably even worse. I should note that due to a health situation, my sleeping heart rate and normal resting heart rate are the same. So it may be asking a lot for a watch to pick up sleep consistently.
I bought this a month ago and I absolutely love everything I’m learning! I especially love the sleep tracker, that has become such an important part in my training preparation!
Excellent watch, I changed my forerunner 165 to the venu 4 and the difference is remarkable from the best screen quality, in addition to greater precision in health and sleep controls.
I have worms a Garmin since 2014 while running because of the accuracy. i used my Apple Watch for everyday use. I just recently purchased the Venu 4 because my daughter moved from the Apple Watch to the Venu and loves it. I have moved to my Venu 4 for everyday use. It’s nice to just have 1 watch for everything! I love this watch and would highly recommend it!
I got tired of charging my Apple Watch once or more per day. Just finished an 11 day trip with 9 days of all day hiking using the hiking activity function and only charged the Venu 4 twice. Heck yeah.
I’m so happy to say that my first Garmin watch has exceeded my expectations and I’m really enjoying the change from my Apple Watch. I particularly appreciate the built-in features, the body battery, the sleep coach, the training readiness status and the fact that I can create workout plans without any extra costs, and many more features. Overall, I’m very happy with the features on my Venu 4.
