I been using this Venu for the last month after my Venu 2 wouldn't hold a charge for very long. Really like the new added features they have now. Floors climbed for example. Great screen as well. I did go ahead and get the Connect + and that has been good as well. It still needs the things added to make it great and I expect they are still working on that.

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.

I first bought my wife a smaller Venue and she loves it. Looks good and the battery lasts over a week. Not long compared to some Garmin watches but much longer than Apple Watches. I got the new Venue 4 for me in the largest size and have to say I am very pleased. Plenty large and looks excellent. Replaced gray band with black and couldn't be happier with how it looks and performs. Tracks activities well (we both ride mountain bikes) and sleep. Loving the watch.

I like a lot of the features the watch offers, but its execution is spotty. The wrist heart rate monitor is quite inaccurate and inconsistent, which I know both from years of working out and generally knowing my heart rate(ish) as well as wearing a chest strap when doing many workouts and seeing very different readings. This may not seem like a huge deal, but so many of the suggestions the watch gives are based on heart rate alone and or combined with other factors. So when tha variable isn't to be trusted, it really throws off the whole data set and subsequent suggestions. I do wear it snug and about an inch from my wrist bone. But I will say to wear it too snug irritates the nerve on the inside bone of my wrist, making my hand fall asleep. So I wear it snug enough to get data but not too much so. Still- the heart rate… Also, I feel like the sleep data is spotty. There are many times it says I fell asleep an hour after going to bed which I 100% know isn't true. I fall asleep very quickly. It also often decides to “call it” on my sleep if I awaken to use the restroom in the morning but still have over an hour of sleeping to do. So that's a bummer. But I do like the idea of the watch and the idea of having something help with training suggestions based on sleep, HRV and stress. So I will keep it but really wish I trusted it more. And probably would not buy another one. Finally- please add ballet as an “activity”. I can't believe gaming is on there but ballet isn't. ?!

I swear I need to give my Garmin a nickname with how close we've gotten, it's basically my best friend!! The health features getting tracked are amazing, I continue to learn about new features every day. I would highly recommend this watch for anyone wanting to track health features with a mix between lifestyle and training.

I absolutely love the screen and overall features. Coming from a Forerunner 965, I was a little concerned that I might lose some functionality switching to the Venu 4 but I honestly haven't noticed any loss at all. In fact, the watch feels more useful now than ever. My eyes aren't the best, so the display has been a huge upgrade. The screen is beautiful and much easier to read, which makes a big difference day to day. The lifestyle tracking has also been a great addition, it serves as a helpful reminder of the habits I need to stay consistent and successful. With the improved screen, apps like Calendar, Countdown, and Weather are far more practical and enjoyable to use. As for training features, everything seems equivalent to what I had on the 965. I don't feel like I've sacrificed anything on the performance side. Overall, it's been a great switch.

I had a Garmin 265 that I LOVED, but it was no longer being released, and given my new onset of atrial fibrillation, a heart arrhythmia which has the potential consequence of causing a stroke, I wanted the ability to monitor my heart rhythm. My Apple Watch did this, but the battery life was abysmal! Garmin has great battery life, perfect ECG monitoring, amazing features and app syncing. It is also MARKEDLY cheaper that the Apple Watch, and flexible savings (FSA) can be applied. I have been able to monitor my heart rhythm without a hitch! The Venu 4 is a win-win all around—I have ZERO complaints, and using Connect IQ, the face is exactly what I would want to see all of the time. Perfect watch if you are someone like me!

I bought this earlier this year and have still been getting used to all the gadgets. But to say I'm obsessed is an understatement! I truly wanted an athletic watch. I like how I can still read my texts and answer phone calls if I need, but the overall functions are great. I love seeing my sleep score, stress level, and heart rate during my workouts. I also love that I don't have to charge it every night.

Great watch. I love the notifications, texts and phone calls. I don't have to dig my phone out every time. I love the amount of activities that are available to see. Everyone comments on the colorful display that is easy to change. I like the safety features and know that I can trigger help easily with my location.

A was gifted this watch for Christmas after dropping a few hints. My Venu 2 was beat up and needed replacing. The Venu 4 has more functionality. I measured cardio against a high end home rower and it was spot on. The stroke rate reading was very close. This watch has more features and is very customizable. Very happy with it!
