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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
