The upgrade you wanted but didn’t know you needed
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Liz1
I have had the Venu 2S for 7 years and loved it! The 4 is the upgrade I was looking for. I love the data and training stats that it provides. The clear graphics and touch screen are a welcomed perk!

So far so good. I was previously a forerunner fan. Just tonight I had it shut off and go into incident mode, not sure how this happened but I wasn't doing anything, lol. Still in the new phase with this one.

Upgrade from Apple
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: gosgos
So far, I like this watch. The battery life is wonderful and I love the sleep tracking, training readiness, etc. I chose this over an apple watch for those reasons, and can’t imagine going back.
I dislike that 1) I get prompted to take an activity break while in the midst of activities lol and 2) how clunky it is to navigate around. I’m still figuring it out somewhat.
I also found the watch super uncomfortable with the silicone band, but once I purchased a different band I didn’t notice it at all.

Love it!

I have had the watch for about a month, and absolutely love it. Previously I had the Garmin Venu and this upgrade was fantastic. I love all the features! The workouts have been a great addition, the Morning and Evening reports are great to get an overall view of your day/sleep and how your body is handling stress/workouts etc.

A Powerful Fitness Smartwatch
on March 16, 2026

I’ve been using my Garmin Venu 4 for about a month now, and overall I’m really impressed with it.
The build quality feels premium and the AMOLED display is bright, sharp, and easy to read even in sunlight. One of the biggest things I like is the health tracking — it keeps track of heart rate, sleep, stress, and workouts very accurately. The Body Battery feature is also pretty cool because it helps you understand when your body is ready for activity or needs rest.
Battery life has been solid too. Even with regular workouts and notifications turned on, I can go several days without needing to charge it, which is a big plus compared to many other smartwatches.
The fitness features are great for both casual workouts and more serious training. It has built-in GPS, lots of workout modes, and the Garmin app gives detailed insights about your activity and progress.
Overall, after a month of daily use, the Garmin Venu 4 has been a great investment for tracking health, staying active, and keeping up with notifications without constantly checking my phone.

Best Fitness Tracker all around
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: MK26
Bought it to see how it stacked up with my Fitbit charge 6 which I’ve been using for years, and my oura ring 4. Fibit was my activity tracker for many years and my standard. Oura ring was not the same in activity tracking though great for sleep, The Garmin Venu 4 blew the Fitbit away there’s no comparison, and the sleep tracking is comparable to Oura and offers so much more. I stopped using the Fitbit and will keep Oura for now. Garmin worked great and offers other options like a scale and hear monitor which I also purchased and love.

Love all the features this watch has
on March 12, 2026

Great watch. I love the notifications, texts and phone calls. I don't have to dig my phone out every time. I love the amount of activities that are available to see. Everyone comments on the colorful display that is easy to change. I like the safety features and know that I can trigger help easily with my location.
