I moved from the Apple Ultra 2 to the Venu 4. I am very impressed with the watch and of course the battery life is very - around 10-12 days depending on exercise. The display is crystal clear and the texting is much improved over old Garmin watches. I like that you can clear out all your notifications at one time. You can’t respond to a text but I unusually did not respond on my Apple Watch and used my phone. I think the screens and buttons are easy to use - takes a little time to learn like the Apple Watch. The watch is very comfortable and I like the sleep stats. The sports options are endless and the work out screens are very visible in bright sun. It is a great cross between everyday watch and sports watch.
I bought this a month ago and have found this to be an excellent watch with all of the key health monitoring features and battery life that I’ve been needing.
Good looking watch, comfortable and decent battery

I really like this watch. I also have the Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar Hybrid, which I also like, but it was getting hard for me to read the data with my old eyes. Text was not bright enough and clear enough, especially at night. With the Venu 4, I can read the text and time easily, whether it's in the bright sun or at night. The OLED display makes a huge difference. I just wished the battery lasted a little longer, even though other brands had less battery life. The watch is also very comfortable to wear, and it is not as bulky as the Instinct.
This was a gift from my kids-my Garmin 920forerunner after 15years needed updating Thai increase watch was a very big surprise, -it is so great for cycling and watching your health Paired with Garmin connect it has a lot of very useful information - I am so happy with this watch
