Great Smart Watch
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: MarieM
I am really enjoying this smart watch. I like how light this is compared to other smart watches, it has a few less buttons from other Garmin watches, but that is easy to get used to. You get a lot of the same utilities as the other garmin devices (I went from a 265s). Hands down I love the battery life on this (about 12 days)and charging it is extremely fast.

Not So Great
on August 20, 2026

The touch screen is not a great feature. After I do a swim the watch face is wet and it will not scroll up to "save." So it is difficult to use. The Forerunner I had before was better. Also, there are way too many useless notifications. I don't need for it to tell me a lot of stuff I don't need to know. It's annoying.

I received the watch for Christmas. I am not happy with the GPS. Drops quickly. Don’t feel it is accurate!

Puts my Apple watch to shame!
on August 14, 2026
Posted by: LanB
I’ve worn an Apple Watch ever since they came out. Have up graded many times. I’m severely hearing impaired, I rely on my watch to alert me when the door bell rings, when I get a text message, when any of my smart appliances send a notification. And I use it for a timer when I bake. On baking days the Apple Watch series 10 is insufficient. Well, hello Garmin Venu 4 41mm. Took a few minutes to adapt to the motions and buttons, once I did I couldn’t be happier. The fitness tracker gives more metrics, such as my pace when walking. It t works seamlessly with my iPhone. The 10 day battery life is legit. I’d buy it again just for that! I am not a fan of silicone bands. Found a fabulous woven loop on line, easy and fast to swap between bands. The only thing it doesn’t allow an iPhone user to do is answer text messages from the watch, something I rarely did so I don’t miss that function at all.
