It Keeps me on my toes
on November 26, 2025
Posted by: Sydad
I've made many electronic purchases in the past, and my Garmin watch is the best one yet. I'm generally a sitter, and the Garmen gets me out of my chair and encourages me to exercise. For that I am grateful.

Lve the Venu 4
on November 26, 2025
Posted by: Milwerica
I transitioned from the Apple Watch to the Venu 4 due to the better battery with the Venu 4 and also better activity tracking. I debated getting it for months but glad I did it. Well worth the buy.

I bought this as a Christmas present to myself. I ultra run, hike, yoga, mountain climb, etc.. I love the stats it provides as well as the functions of a ¨smart¨ watch!

Great Fitness Watch
on November 21, 2025
Posted by: VDubbs
I've been using this watch for ~ 1 month and it's a very good fitness watch. I like the morning and evening reports.The new speaker/call function makes it easy to rely just on the watch. It looks nice & sleek, perfect for work and for exercise as well (no need to change watches!). I love the motivation alerts as well as using the app and reviewing my workouts when I use the watch to record my activities.

Great upgrade from older Garmin watches
on November 21, 2025
Posted by: cyndeb
Coming from an Instinct 2S, this was a great upgrade. Right from turning it on, the Venu 4 impressed me. The screen is SO vivid and easy to read. There is a learning curve coming from the 5-button mindset to the touch screen + 2 buttons, but it's not as bad as I feared. It's still all of the Garmin info you love, just in vivid color, sleeker and lighter weight, and easier to read in the dark or while moving. The improved GPS is really helping to record my indoor track runs with greater accuracy than the Instinct 2s ever could. The 41 mm size + small band fits me perfectly and I have truly tiny wrists (113 mm). If there are any cons, it's that Garmin gives you no set-up information - you gotta find the Venu 4 manual online and DIY it. Also, I've had to learn to use the screenlock while exercising, as my hoodie sleeve would change screens as I moved. My husband had a Garmin 255 model that he was happy with...until he saw my Venu 4. Now he has a Venu 4, too.

Purchased my new Venu 4 as an upgrade from my VivoActive 4, what an upgrade this has turned out to be! Killer display, features and battery life! Could not be more pleased with the upgrade and my purchase.

Venu 4 crosses needs of daily and running use
on November 15, 2025
Posted by: KS runner
I chose the Venu 4 to replace my Forerunner 645 Music. I picked the Venu 4 instead of going with the Venu 3 for price because I wanted similar GPS capability and running stats that I enjoyed on my Forerunner. I wanted something that looked nice for daily wear at my job as well, so I did not chose the Forerunner 245 which would have been similar to my 645. The Venu 4 connects more reliably with my phone than the 645 did, looks great for daily wear, and gives me all the running info I have come to expect. Battery length is a huge upgrade for me too. Love it!

Major improvement over the Venu 2
on November 12, 2025
Posted by: Splat_Shot
After three years of continuous use the battery on my Venu 2 started to decrease 20% per day. Since I was very happy with my Venu 2 I decided to upgrade to the Venu 4. It was the right decision. Not only did it have a built-in application for racquetball, the updated features, crisp display and available watch faces made the upgrade a no brainer. I would recommend this watch. I'm sure I'll be purchasing one for my wife when it comes time for her to upgrade her Venu 2.
