I bought this a month ago to better track my fitness journey, honestly looking for a device that provided the basics. Wow…blown away at all the features that are available and started to use more and more of these! Really pleased with the purchase, worth every penny!

I updated from a Vivioactive 5 to the Venu4 and couldn't be happier. I exercise but far from extreme. I mainly wanted it for the extra health tracking features. The citron color is amazing and I am just starting to figure it all out. Flash light has been such a great thing to have.

I got this as an upgrade to my fenix 6. The color on the screen is way better and the touchscreen and morning/evening reports are the features I didn't know I was missing before. The battery power is great. It probably will be less than my fenix for super long races but with a portable charger it would be fine. What would be perfect is if Garmin could change the charger to USB-C for better/easier charging on the go without the cable getting easily disconnected

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 bought the Garmin Venu 4 in November 2025 for a 7-day climb to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in January 2026. The battery, the altitude features, and Mountaineering Activity were working great until Day 4 and it unexpectedly would NOT let me login. It stated I had to reset the password, but I needed an Internet connection. Up at 15,000 ft. that was an impossiblity to reset the password. I ENDED UP NOT HAVING ANY TRACKING OR CLIMBING FEATURES UNTIL I COMPLETED THE ENTIRE CLIMB. i WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT OF MY OWN WATCH! Thank goodness Strava tracked my activity, but I was disappointed beyond belief. Not sure why I got locked out of my Garmin Venu 4. I spent a lot of money to get this watch specificially for this climb and it completely FAILED on the climb. DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH FOR AN IMPORTANT EVENT.

Believe it or not, I went through a few Garmin watches before I felll in love with this one. Did not love the Forerunner series because I wanted a nice looking every day watch. Tried out the 43mm Fenix 8, too much watch for me, bulky and built like a tank. As a petite woman I felt it was to rugged looking. Settled on the Venu 4 silver body and couldn't be happier with both appearance and functionality.

This is the first time ever Making any purchase, such as a garmin Venu 4 watch. I am new to the fitness community. After losing over 200lbs fitness has become a major staple in my every day life. I recently discovered the joy of running and this is the reason I made this purchase. This watch has so many built in workouts and also helps me stay motivated and driven to continue my healthy lifestyle. I would say if your thinking about this watch make the purchase I guarantee you will be hooked.

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 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 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.
