Great training tool
on December 30, 2025

I recently replaced my Venu 2 with the new Venu 4 and I am really liking the new features. I am still getting used to the new training tool but I really like that it works seamlessly with the watch and gives me specifics about what I should be doing that day.

Very happy but a bit challenging navigating through the menus. Especially sport choices.

Great features are too difficult & too sensitive t

2 stems rather than 3 as on earlier Venu models means extra scrolling & clicks. For example, to use voice assistant requires a click, a lengthy scroll, & another click. There are other examples such as recording a nap, a great feature but requiring multiple clicks & scrolls. Health features are great & fairly accurate but frequently don’t record. An example: sleep data will not record if watch is taken off 2 hrs before your window for bedtime. That’s another issue. Unless a bedtime window is set, sleep data is not recorded. HRV, pulse ox & others are very sensitive & often don’t record data. All these features affect body battery & therefore is rarely accurate. I previously had a venu 2 plus & altho some of these issues existed, I wish I had not traded for a venu 4!

not worth the money

I heard Garmin's were for data enthusiast, so when I learned here as a oxygen level monitor, I jumped and bought it. Bus as usual with all smart watches, its treated as a minor feature lacking any solid development efforts. I have sleep apnea and expected what I consider basic functions around the realtime data monitoring of my o2 levels. Simple things like alerts when levels reach x, ie o2 drops under 90%, 80% etc.
I have abnormal sleep cycles, the watch is hard focused on 24hrs starting at midnight for data reference/collection, its data presentations all focus to this, ie if I wake up at 9pm my awake period time gets cut off at midnight.
I want to go back properly record events and mark period of sleep as naps or sleep etc. All I could find were things that let me start new events, not manage old.
The default clock faces cannot render am/pm, seems trivial, but its not there. They have been the watch game for how long now...
And then there was the initial hassle of setting up the watch and getting it connected to my pc and android tablets and it coming out of the box in another language.

So many features I'll never use them all!

I got this as an early Christmas gift to myself & I love it! The color screen, the many options of Activities & I love the daily summaries! The only downside is I have to wear it fairly loose or my skin gets a reaction from it, which I read is normal for a lot of users. Otherwise super happy with the purchase & the 10day battery life & the flashlight is an added bonus.
