Exchange/upgrade?

Poorest model, being my fourth Garmin watch; it doesn’t allow me to answer phone calls and isn’t monitoring my sleep correctly (having been very pleased with my prior Instinct Solar). I’ve had the Venu 3 for just less than three months; can it be exchanged/pay for upgrade to the Venu 4, please?

Workout tracking

I bought this a month ago and I’m extremely disappointed.. I got it to measure sleep and heart rate and the sensor on this one may be faulty.. constantly saying my heart rate is 100+ and only getting 3 hours of sleep (so I recorded myself for a whole week and got 7 hours of sleep.. while the garmin said 3.5 hours… or wouldn’t even measure sleep) I should’ve gotten the venu 4 but will probably never get a garmin again after this experience.

Excellent fitness watch

I've had this almost a month now (replacing my Venu 2). I absolutely love it. Bright display, multiple features and increased number of workout trackers, and great battery life. Well worth what I spent. (And my wife has been thrilled with hers too.)

Great features

I purchased my Venu 3 shortly after it became available. It replaced my Vivoactive 4. I was most interested in the ECG App. My biggest disappointment is the "raised" face that scratches very easily. Within a few months of purchase the face looked very bad.

Excellent watch for all my activities, including gym workouts, hiking, swimming, backpacking, etc. Very easy to set up and I like all the dat options I have. Excellent screen design and options. My only concern here is that this watch requires more frequent charging than my Instinct Solar, even though it’s not in GPS mode.

Watch sensor

My review is based off of the sensor not being accurate with the heart rate goes on and off throughout the day it doesn’t catch you’re sleeping at night although the watches put on tight but not too tight. It just sucks. I threw away the box. And now I can’t get a refund sucks.

Missing activites

I got this as a Christmas present and while I love the update, I found that I cannot find all the activities that my Garmin 255 had. I could create one, but I’m concerned that the datapoints will not be the same. For example. Run is just run. Ther is no trail run. So either I’m Hiking in the woods or running in the woods.

Sleek, modern and stylish!

I absolutely love my Garmin Venu 4. I transitioned from the more stats-driven Instinct 2 Solar, and while that watch was powerful, the Venu 4’s touchscreen and intuitive interface make a huge difference in everyday use. Starting activities is fast and seamless without needing to press multiple buttons, which is perfect for gym classes and quick transitions. On top of that, the Venu 4 is sleek, modern, and stylish, making it easy to wear all day, at the gym, at work, or out and about. Most importantly, I still get the key training and health statistics I’ve come to rely on, all wrapped in a clean, polished design that doesn’t feel bulky or overly technical.

Great life style companion

I been using this device for some time, day and night. It’s an awesome watch, it can measure how good is your sleeping, it can recommend when you need to sleep more time, do some exercise or breath and relaxation exercises to improve sleep. Also, it is capable to tell how much stress is present through all day. All this measures leads to one great data: body battery. This one tells you how much energy do you have for all your activities and how different scenarios impact, like doing exercise, experimenting some high stress episode, taking a snap and more. Of course, Venu 3 is also capable to read your sport performance, like running, biking, hiking, and much more. Maybe it is not the best for high performance athletes but it is great for casuals that want to improve their health. And of course, it also gives the time!!

Good watch but some things I’m frustrated with

I got this a couple weeks ago and it’s pretty solid with battery life and some features like the ekg app. The sleep tracking is terrible with it barely recording any rem for me. It usually says I get less than an hour of rem each night which I know is wrong

Good afternoon! I attached some helpful articles about how our watches track sleep data: • "What is Advanced Sleep Monitoring in Garmin Connect?" - http://ms.spr.ly/6422tRRZo • "Sleep Tracking" - http://ms.spr.ly/6423tRRZU -CF
