Good looking watch, comfortable and decent battery

I really like this watch. I also have the Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar Hybrid, which I also like, but it was getting hard for me to read the data with my old eyes. Text was not bright enough and clear enough, especially at night. With the Venu 4, I can read the text and time easily, whether it's in the bright sun or at night. The OLED display makes a huge difference. I just wished the battery lasted a little longer, even though other brands had less battery life. The watch is also very comfortable to wear, and it is not as bulky as the Instinct.
This was a gift from my kids-my Garmin 920forerunner after 15years needed updating Thai increase watch was a very big surprise, -it is so great for cycling and watching your health Paired with Garmin connect it has a lot of very useful information - I am so happy with this watch
I upgraded from the Venu (1) and am very pleased with all the new features! I am a marathon runner but like to have a smartwatch that I can wear to work without it screaming “I’m a running watch!” The Venu 4 checks both of those boxes for me. I also bought nylon wrist straps and prefer wearing those for comfort over the silicone ones that can irritate my skin.
I love this watch. I have had two Galaxy watches and they don't compare to this. I am still learning all the features. Just having a battery that lasts so long is a plus.
Bought a Venu 4 ( I've owned several Garmin watches previously). I went to set it up, and all went well until it required a system update. Now stuck in a perpetual loop of turning on and showing the start up screen and watch face for seven seconds before shutting down and then restarting. No amount of fixes has solved the problem, so my watch will be going back.
