Love my Venu4
on July 26, 2026

I've had my watch for not quite a month yet and I love it. The activity options seem endless. Even the extra things like being able to track the moon phases is cool. I do a lot of stuff in the woods so the compass is really helpful. I was actually looking for a watch for work but wanted something with a little more spunk and this one is it! The battery life is really what sold me though with how long it lasts.
I have had my venu 4 for 2 weeks so far. I upgraded from a venu 2P. The venu 2P was fine and still works great, but I'm very pleased with the upgrade. The silicone band doesn't make my skin break out like the old one. It's easy to navigate. It has many things to try including built in workouts. I surprised myself and was able to do one that required 2 15 minutes sets of keeping my heart rate at 148. I ran 2 miles that day! (Obviously I am a very slow runner!) It's comfortable and nice looking too. It tracks my naps! I still struggle with body battery but that's probably just me. It never gets charged very well. I have cats so they wake me up a lot. I love my new watch.
I am pleased with my venue. A few times when swimming inside, it was not able to monitor my heart rate. I am getting used to the various screens and knowing where I can find the activities. Battery seems to last about a week.
I sole my Apple Watch and am very happy with the Garmin Venu 4. It does everything I want from a watch. It is comfortable and feels slightly lighter than the Apple. I use it to extensively tracking my daily walks and, using the Garmin Connect, it gives me excellent feedback on various health measures.
The only thing I changed was the band because I prefer a strap that closes with velcro because it gives me a more precise fit. I purchased a Hemsut band that goes perfectly with the Venu 4.
Overall, very happy with the purchase of the Venu 4.
Finally made the move over from Apple and I cannot be happier. The design is fantastic, but more importantly, the activity and sleep tracking is great. Still figuring things out, but I’m loving it and the battery life itself almost made the upgrade completely worth it.
