Bought this a month ago and set up was a lot harder than I thought.

Poor sleep detection
on September 9, 2026
Posted by: Nurseygal
I love the accurate gps. However the sleep detection is inadequate. I work off shifts and sleep during the day 3-4 days a week. It does not recognize my 7-8 hrs of sleep or naps which is disappointing. My Fitbit always picked up sleep whenever it was.

I LOVE MY NEW GARMIN

I love my new Garmin! The battery life alone is worth the purchase price. The watch looks really nice as well. I can track workouts and get data that I'll actually use. The community aspect is a great way to share and get ideas. I LOVE my Garmin!!!!!

Replaced two wearables with this.

I was using an Oura ring and Garmin S74 and wanted to focus more on health instead of all the golf features. After a lot of research I landed on the Venu 4 and I’m very pleased. Now I have just one wearable and get all the health features plus more than I did with the Oura and S74 combo. The golf features are still ok, nothing great but also more than enough.

Not for walkers that own treadmills!!!!

Love the watch as far as looks but it is not treadmill friendly!!! I have to record my walks as runs which throws off all the stats making them pointless. Which is the reason I got it!! I was trying to get away from Apple.

Major upgrade for me
on September 5, 2026

I bought my Venu 4 a couple of weeks and absolutely love it. I previously owned Vivoactive (3, 4S, and 5), but my Venu was definitely an upgrade.

Very pleased with this replacement for my Venu2s
on September 4, 2026

My gone-too-soon Venu2s needed replacement. I tried the new Galaxy watch and returned it posthaste - terrible battery performance.
I bought the Venu4 45mm and am very pleased with it. The promised long time between battery charges is sound and welcome. The surprise was the ability to change fonts making it easier to read messages and notifications. A lot of thought has gone into the design and engineering.

Expensive but lots of bells and whistles
on September 4, 2026
Posted by: Drake
bought this a couple weeks ago. Very pricey and I definitely am not using it to its full potential, but I loved the battery life. Didn't think I'd use garmin pay as I always have my phone but it's nice for an emergency - though it doesn't support many of my banks which is disappointing. I love the customizability of the watch faces and your garmin status page so if that's a big thing to you, you won't be disappointed. I did not think I'd like the coached exercises, but they are pretty useful. I have not been able to use this for a hike or run, but for my purposes it's a bit extra/much since I don't do anymore super off grid hiking/trail running, and the golf features are fairly useless to me. But for something that offers looks, battery life, and a bit of durability, it's great. One note, the watch band options are disappointing. And honestly the main bell and whistle I got it for was the flashlight which has already been useful in random times. Will definitely need it for camping just as an emergency.
