Too many features.

Good for the most part lens scratches way to easy had it one day and got a scratch can't return it now I only need a watch for health but now I'm stuck with it. hate the band wrist always feels sweaty. don't like that the sleep app doesn't update until 1 am instead of when I wake up so I can only check my sleep status on the watch. Not too good for the price.

The Fitness Watch I Needed

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.

I bought this a month ago or so, but it suddenly keeps shutting off and then turns back on its own and i tap and tap the screen but it won't turn on. But other than that i actually love garmin, i had the vivoactive 6 before the venu4 and it would never shut off or anything.

Great features

I sole my Apple Watch and am very happy with the Garmin Venu 4. It does everything I want from a watch. It is comfortable and feels slightly lighter than the Apple. I use it to extensively tracking my daily walks and, using the Garmin Connect, it gives me excellent feedback on various health measures. The only thing I changed was the band because I prefer a strap that closes with velcro because it gives me a more precise fit. I purchased a Hemsut band that goes perfectly with the Venu 4. Overall, very happy with the purchase of the Venu 4.

Great for small wrists

Love this watch. I have small wrists and this doesn't feel too large or thick. It replaced my Music 645 that I've used for 6 + years. It's a great replacement for it. I love the touch screen and all the futures I now have. It's been great for running on the road and treadmill as well as hikes. The company was easy to work with!

Stupid agreement with MyFitenssPal

I wanted to use Cronometer app to feed calories intake to Garmin and it's not possible. Cronometer can only read data from Garmin but cannot send any. This is because Garmin entered into some kind of agreement with MyFitnessPal and I hate companies that limit consumers choices like that. Watch itself (Venu 4) is decent.

41mm looks nice, is heavy

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.

Expensive but lots of bells and whistles

bought this a couple weeks ago. Very pricey and I definitely am not using it to its full potential, but I loved the battery life. Didn't think I'd use garmin pay as I always have my phone but it's nice for an emergency - though it doesn't support many of my banks which is disappointing. I love the customizability of the watch faces and your garmin status page so if that's a big thing to you, you won't be disappointed. I did not think I'd like the coached exercises, but they are pretty useful. I have not been able to use this for a hike or run, but for my purposes it's a bit extra/much since I don't do anymore super off grid hiking/trail running, and the golf features are fairly useless to me. But for something that offers looks, battery life, and a bit of durability, it's great. One note, the watch band options are disappointing. And honestly the main bell and whistle I got it for was the flashlight which has already been useful in random times. Will definitely need it for camping just as an emergency.

Love the watch

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.

From Ultra 2 to Venu 4

I moved from the Apple Ultra 2 to the Venu 4. I am very impressed with the watch and of course the battery life is very - around 10-12 days depending on exercise. The display is crystal clear and the texting is much improved over old Garmin watches. I like that you can clear out all your notifications at one time. You can't respond to a text but I unusually did not respond on my Apple Watch and used my phone. I think the screens and buttons are easy to use - takes a little time to learn like the Apple Watch. The watch is very comfortable and I like the sleep stats. The sports options are endless and the work out screens are very visible in bright sun. It is a great cross between everyday watch and sports watch.
