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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Great everyday watch

This is my second Garmin watch. The first was an Instinct and this watch is so much better. For fitness I primarily hike and walk. The heart rate monitor on this watch is accurate and very responsive. As soon as I start hiking uphill, for example, I can see the bright display indicating an increase. The old watch, frankly, annoyed me because the HR monitor was inconsistent or non responsive. The GPS seems to be very sensitive. I can walk around a tree making a 10ft circle and it will show on the app. It also tracks speed very closely. And distances are consistent. If I hike/walk a route and then duplicate it exactly the next day, the mileage may only be off 1/100th mile over a several mile walk and that could easily be me. So I'm very happy with the watch for tracking fitness. And I like the Garmin Connect App. While I'm working I use timers and the stop watch. All those features are easy to use. The watch is very intuitive, easy to figure out. I charge it for about an hour Saturday nights and after a week it's still got 50% battery. For me it's the perfect watch. Everything I want, nothing I don't. Just the right size. Easy to use. I love it.

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.)

Venu 3 replacement

I bought the Venu 3 (renewed) a month ago to replace my 265 which was sporadically failing to track my sleep. The Venu 3 did everything I needed including tracking my workouts, sleep, ekg, and heart rate. The feature of creating a custom watchface has not materialized. I have tried several times, watched you tube descriptions. I was unable to make it work. The notifications on the Venu are better than the 265. and the screen is crisper. It is a solid upgrade.
