I've had my watch for not quite a month yet and I love it. The activity options seem endless. Even the extra things like being able to track the moon phases is cool. I do a lot of stuff in the woods so the compass is really helpful. I was actually looking for a watch for work but wanted something with a little more spunk and this one is it! The battery life is really what sold me though with how long it lasts.

I had a forerunner 45 and honestly I saw this watch and I really wanted it. I was also doubting to buy it because of the price. But once I bought it I didn't regret it was the best upgrade I've done and it had help me with my personal fitness. Really like this both for going out and doing my activities. Yet there is tiny issues here and is sometimes you swipe and screen slows down like if the fps dropped. Kind of annoying. Also one cool feature to make this watch feel complete is when you gesture to turn the watch. It has like screen wake animation and a fade when turning off. Makes the watch more alive and more like a daily activity watch

I was a lifelong Fitbit user, but after Google shifted the focus more toward smartwatches, I started looking for a true fitness watch. After a lot of research, I decided on the Venu 4. I'll admit I hesitated because of the price, but once I learned that Garmin includes so many features without locking them behind a paid subscription, it made the decision much easier. Between that and all of the health and fitness metrics the watch offers, it has been worth every penny. I've been wearing my Venu 4 for almost three weeks, and I absolutely love it. It's incredibly customizable, from the watch face and data fields to the app itself, and while there is a bit of a learning curve, it's well worth taking the time to get familiar with everything. The battery life has been fantastic, the health insights have been incredibly useful, and I can already tell this watch is going to be with me for years. Garmin has definitely gained a lifelong customer.

Been using about 6 weeks. I like the exercise prompt suggestions. Overall I preferred vivoactive line and switched to venu only because some of vivos functionality moved to venu. While I have the smaller watch face, the watch and band dig into my wrist because the watch is heavier and the band seems cheaper. I wish Garmin would've maintained the floor counting feature in newer models of vivoactive.

I love my new Garmin watch. The running aspect of the watch is great. The GPS syncs fast. I am off and running. Golf app is easy to use once the course is downloaded. Easy to keep score while playing. I don't like the strength training feature. I doesn't record any calories burn. I tried switch to something similar to strength training doesn't record either. It's not to big of a deal. If I want to hit the set button every time I am sure it would work better. I forget when I am lifting weights. I love the classic look of the watch. The touchscreen is great much easier to use than recent Garmin's that where just buttons.

Love the watch as far as looks but it is not treadmill friendly!!! I have to record my walks as runs which throws off all the stats making them pointless. Which is the reason I got it!! I was trying to get away from Apple.

Purchased the Venu 4 to replace a Fitbit Charge 6. Very impressed with the functionality of the Venu 4 and the information I can use during and after my workouts. Good stuff.

I bought my Venu 4 a few weeks ago and upgraded from Vivoactive 4. Originally was going to get another Vivoactive but decided to go with Venu 4 despite higher price. Love all the features it has for walking, working out and using when playing golf.

I got this watch and I have had some issues with bluetooth connectivity. I had the same issues with the Venu 3s that I had previously. Sometimes, I have to turn the bluetooth on my phone off then on again. I am considering switching to Apple.

I bought to replace a Venu 2+ which I liked until the battery faded away. I hope garmin has improved their batteries and enables replacement of batteries.
