Diminished support for Lefties.

Garmin lost me. I needed to replace an aging Vivoactive 4 and ordered the Venu 4 45mm. I was excited when I finally came, but then super disappointed that they removed the ability to flip the orientation for left handed people wearing the watch on their right wrist. Options include "get used to wearing it on your left wrist" where it will get banged up or wear it on the right wrist and have to awkwardly reach across to the far side to reach the buttons. Why they removed the feature I don't know, but they are driving me to a competitor who does support left handed people better. What a shame because I really like the features and Garmin's reliability.
Very pleased with my Venu 4. I upgraded from a Vivoactive 4S that I had for six years and the new features are great. I am enjoying the Morning and Evening report as well as the diverse activity options. The microphone and speaker are a game changer. I hope this lasts at least 6 years like my previous Garmin.
Wanted to move to a better looking watch that had many of the features I enjoyed on my Apple Watch.. home run, it does everything I used my apple for and so much more. Favorites include the daily health checks the sleep reminders and stats THE GOLF FEATURES !!! goodbye rang finder and the flashlight has already been a heroic feature for a door repair job in the late evening darkness. Please just keep adding more and more 22mm band replacements.. more leather for colors
Upgraded from the Venu 2 Plus and noticed the difference within the first few days. I use mine generally for daily health reads and workouts, and it's everything I need. Also really appreciate the choice of the silicon and leather bands. Great to be able to switch between casual and a bit more formal.
I have used it for about a month now and I love it! I use it mostly for workouts and tracking my health and so far it has been awesome. The pulseox does burn the battery pretty quick so I changed that to on demand. I would definitely recommend this for someone who is conscious of their overall health. There are others that are for athletes but I’m 55 years old (not a serious athlete..lol) and this absolutely does everything I need it to do.
