I bought this a month ago or so, but it suddenly keeps shutting off and then turns back on its own and i tap and tap the screen but it won’t turn on. But other than that i actually love garmin, i had the vivoactive 6 before the venu4 and it would never shut off or anything.
I am a new runner and was looking for a watch that has advanced health features. I bought this watch a month ago based on the reviews and it certainly did not disappoint! This is my first Garmin watch and as a former apple watch user, I really cannot look back! This watch tracks my health features such as sleep, heart rate, HVR, training readiness, and continual progress. I love this watch and have nothing but good things to say about it. For those who are health conscious and want a watch that helps track your health, this one is it!
I was so loyal to Fitbit but finally had it with them and moved to a Garmin Venu 4 41mm I love it. It is not a big ugly manly watch! I love that I can look at my golf courses and keep my score. It does so much- I still am learning and trying new things. Bonus- my watch face is a picture of my Pug.
I was a lifelong Fitbit user, but after Google shifted the focus more toward smartwatches, I started looking for a true fitness watch. After a lot of research, I decided on the Venu 4. I’ll admit I hesitated because of the price, but once I learned that Garmin includes so many features without locking them behind a paid subscription, it made the decision much easier. Between that and all of the health and fitness metrics the watch offers, it has been worth every penny.
I’ve been wearing my Venu 4 for almost three weeks, and I absolutely love it. It’s incredibly customizable, from the watch face and data fields to the app itself, and while there is a bit of a learning curve, it’s well worth taking the time to get familiar with everything. The battery life has been fantastic, the health insights have been incredibly useful, and I can already tell this watch is going to be with me for years. Garmin has definitely gained a lifelong customer.
I had a forerunner 45 and honestly I saw this watch and I really wanted it. I was also doubting to buy it because of the price. But once I bought it I didn’t regret it was the best upgrade I’ve done and it had help me with my personal fitness. Really like this both for going out and doing my activities. Yet there is tiny issues here and is sometimes you swipe and screen slows down like if the fps dropped. Kind of annoying. Also one cool feature to make this watch feel complete is when you gesture to turn the watch. It has like screen wake animation and a fade when turning off. Makes the watch more alive and more like a daily activity watch
