I upgraded from a Venu 2S. I appreciate so much about the Venu 4: more detailed insights available, increased activity options for tracking, battery life, and the reports to name a few. The change was well worth it.

I love the new features in the Venu4. I upgraded from the Venu 2. I used the flashlight right away during a prolonged power outage at work. The activity list is enhanced and easier to use.

I bought this watch just 2 weeks ago and I love it! I moved over from a different smart watch that had terrible battery life and I am very impressed with the battery life of the Venu 4! I appreciate so many of the stats I'm able to glean from my watch around the quality of my sleep as well as info related to my overall cardio / aerobic fitness - I can clearly see I am out of shape but look forward to working towards bettering my overall fitness health with the assistance of my Venu 4.

I got this as a replacement for the Venu 3S, which would shut off whenever I used it to swim. I couldn't get any swim activity saved because it automatically powered down during swimming. With this one, I've been able to swim successfully and save all my activities. However, I've noticed that the volume when receiving calls is quite low compared to the Venu 3S, and sometimes it has phone‑call connection issues—for example, my phone will be ringing but my watch won't. Overall, though, I'm happy with the swim feature so far.

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 just bought this watch. I was upgrading the lily active 2 and this watch didn't even last me a few months. It completely died. It won't turn on or charge. I am so disappointed. I did email and I have not yet received a response. I haven't been able to track my gym sessions since I got rid of the lily active 2.

I got this as an early Christmas gift to myself & I love it! The color screen, the many options of Activities & I love the daily summaries! The only downside is I have to wear it fairly loose or my skin gets a reaction from it, which I read is normal for a lot of users. Otherwise super happy with the purchase & the 10day battery life & the flashlight is an added bonus.

I purchased my Garmin about a month ago after much encouragement from my Garmin loving husband. It tells me everything including my best plan for the day- not leaving anything to chance. I have tried other brands of watches, rings, and bracelets and my Garmin has really helped me with understanding my body's needs and given me a better training plan.

I purchased the Garmin Venu 4 for testing with our remote health monitoring platform. I am very impressed with Garmin's progress on AI insights, vivid display, graphs, SpO2 accuracy, battery life, etc. I believe that Garmin has a superior device to Whoop and their UI is rapidly catching up. They are friendly to work with and offer an Open API - unlike Whoop and Oura Ring. We wish Garmin the best success and are hopeful for partnership with them in the future to bring them into the clinical world of monitoring patients.

Coming from an Instinct 2S, this was a great upgrade. Right from turning it on, the Venu 4 impressed me. The screen is SO vivid and easy to read. There is a learning curve coming from the 5-button mindset to the touch screen + 2 buttons, but it's not as bad as I feared. It's still all of the Garmin info you love, just in vivid color, sleeker and lighter weight, and easier to read in the dark or while moving. The improved GPS is really helping to record my indoor track runs with greater accuracy than the Instinct 2s ever could. The 41 mm size + small band fits me perfectly and I have truly tiny wrists (113 mm). If there are any cons, it's that Garmin gives you no set-up information - you gotta find the Venu 4 manual online and DIY it. Also, I've had to learn to use the screenlock while exercising, as my hoodie sleeve would change screens as I moved. My husband had a Garmin 255 model that he was happy with...until he saw my Venu 4. Now he has a Venu 4, too.
