decent watch

I bought the watch to track my workouts better, which it does. The bands are horrible and kind of cheesy for switching them out, needs improvement for sure. Not many options either.

Great daily body updates

I purchased the Venus 4 ~1.5 month ago to restart my fineness journey. It has not disappointed so far. The goal was to use it to log daily active etc ( heart rate, steps, and sleeping). I have used it with my chest heart rate monitor and the reading is relatively in sync when I workout. I appreciate the ECG function also. But the sleek look and still maintain to be use in rugged applications is also a great feature.

Fits my daily needs and battery life is great! Have to downgrade from Epix because of the size. I only use the epix for outdoor activities now..

Good watch

I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago, and it’s my first Garmin. It has many great features, but for me, the lower button feels poorly designed — it’s hard to press and a bit uncomfortable to use. That’s why I requested an exchange, though it seems this might be a common issue.

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.

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!

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.

Great upgrade from older Garmin watches

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.
