The best watch
on January 8, 2026
Posted by: Maggie61
I’ve been wanting this watch ever since it came out and it’s amazing! I got it for Christmas and I’m still learning the things it can do for me. It’s cute and still sporty at the same time so you can wear it with anything. I love that you can have a garmin coach for workouts and I love the challenges, this watch helps keep me motivated to do better! The only thing is I wish there were more options for watch bands.

Good but miss the look/ease of Apple

I got this for Christmas and I’ve had a broken foot so I haven’t been able to get the training stuff to it’s full potential but besides the better battery life I miss the other features and the look/ease of the Apple Watch. I also wish there were more watch band options. It’s good for what it’s designed to do but if Apple fixed battery life I’d switch back. Nothing is wrong with it. Maybe I just can’t do change.

Love everything but the battery life
on January 8, 2026

I love the look and features of this watch, but the battery life is terrible compared to my other garmins. I’ve done everything that garmin has suggested to help the battery life. Also, the speaker is not loud at all and only audible for 1-2 people.

Great features.

I bought this a month ago to better track my fitness journey, honestly looking for a device that provided the basics. Wow…blown away at all the features that are available and started to use more and more of these! Really pleased with the purchase, worth every penny!

mostly perfect upgrade from venu 2
on January 9, 2026
Posted by: sdenaro
This is my 5th Garmin, moving from Vivoactive HR, Vivoactive 3 & 4 and the Venu 2.
The Venu 4 has the best display, better battery life and the most new features. The flashlight is very handy. The morning and evening report are great for personal accountability. The new timer app is a huge improvement, it saves common timers.
Three things I miss:
1. The find my car app. I used this fairly often when parking in large parking lots
2. The swipe to Garmin pay. Having to enable pay via the buttons makes it less useful than my phone
3. Setting alarms from my phone app. You have to set alarms via the watch.

I have been using my Garmin Venu 4 for the past 4 weeks. I love it. The battery life, the sharpe screen and the ease of use make this my best fitness tool ever.

Great upgrade from Venu 1
on January 16, 2026
Posted by: emmiegotthis
The watch has a lot of great upgrades from the Venu 4. Rating it 4 stars because I lost the ability to reply back to text messages with simple premade text responses. I have an iPhone. The Bluetooth also disconnects from my phone when it’s in the other side of the house, I never had that issue with the Venu 1.
I shouldn’t have to miss out on a few features just because something is an upgrade.
