GPS NOT RELIABLE

I received the watch for Christmas. I am not happy with the GPS. Drops quickly. Don’t feel it is accurate!

Puts my Apple watch to shame!
on August 14, 2026
Posted by: LanB
I’ve worn an Apple Watch ever since they came out. Have up graded many times. I’m severely hearing impaired, I rely on my watch to alert me when the door bell rings, when I get a text message, when any of my smart appliances send a notification. And I use it for a timer when I bake. On baking days the Apple Watch series 10 is insufficient. Well, hello Garmin Venu 4 41mm. Took a few minutes to adapt to the motions and buttons, once I did I couldn’t be happier. The fitness tracker gives more metrics, such as my pace when walking. It t works seamlessly with my iPhone. The 10 day battery life is legit. I’d buy it again just for that! I am not a fan of silicone bands. Found a fabulous woven loop on line, easy and fast to swap between bands. The only thing it doesn’t allow an iPhone user to do is answer text messages from the watch, something I rarely did so I don’t miss that function at all.

I purchased this watch about 3 weeks ago. It is a super nice watch. It has alot that it can do and I am still learning it but so far it has exceeded my expectations.

Love the watch

I love my new Garmin watch. The running aspect of the watch is great. The GPS syncs fast. I am off and running. Golf app is easy to use once the course is downloaded. Easy to keep score while playing.
I don’t like the strength training feature. I doesn’t record any calories burn. I tried switch to something similar to strength training doesn’t record either. It’s not to big of a deal. If I want to hit the set button every time I am sure it would work better. I forget when I am lifting weights. I love the classic look of the watch. The touchscreen is great much easier to use than recent Garmin’s that where just buttons.

Excellent features

Have had the watch for about a month. Replaced my Venu 3. The Venu 4 has a much longer battery life as well as additional features and fitness tracking. Hiking mode includes compass directions which are helpful

Almost a great purchase
on August 9, 2026
Posted by: Erik1234
This is the second Garmin I have owned. My prior Vivoactive lasted for 5 years and was very versatile. The design of the new Vivoactive lines look cheap to me so I purchased the Venu as it looked closest to my old one. All is good with the watch except that I’ve learned that the Venu (because it’s a lifestyle line) does not support direct connection from the watch to fitness equipment like my treadmill. This exception is very disappointing as my prior watch connected seamlessly. I would have expected all Garmin watches would have this option. Choose carefully if you want to display Garmin data on your fitness equipment.
