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.

I'm so happy for all the features. My only concern is the band , it isn't wide as the pervious version . Also for the price , it should has at least a second band

I've been using my Garmin Venu 4 for about a month now, and overall I'm really impressed with it. The build quality feels premium and the AMOLED display is bright, sharp, and easy to read even in sunlight. One of the biggest things I like is the health tracking — it keeps track of heart rate, sleep, stress, and workouts very accurately. The Body Battery feature is also pretty cool because it helps you understand when your body is ready for activity or needs rest. Battery life has been solid too. Even with regular workouts and notifications turned on, I can go several days without needing to charge it, which is a big plus compared to many other smartwatches. The fitness features are great for both casual workouts and more serious training. It has built-in GPS, lots of workout modes, and the Garmin app gives detailed insights about your activity and progress. Overall, after a month of daily use, the Garmin Venu 4 has been a great investment for tracking health, staying active, and keeping up with notifications without constantly checking my phone.

I'm older and wanted a sports watch that actually looks like a regular watch instead of a bulky fitness tracker. The Garmin Venu 4's stainless steel design caught my eye right away. I was hesitant to buy it after seeing many complaints on Garmin forums about restarts when playing music on Bluetooth headphones during runs. When it arrived, I loaded my music, paired my headphones, and have now used the watch every day for 3 weeks (strength training, walking, and intervals). I'm happy to report I've had zero issues with restarts or crashes. I really like how it looks on my wrist and the bright AMOLED screen is much easier for me to read. It tracks my workouts well and feels comfortable all day. Battery life has been solid too. Overall, it's exactly what I was hoping for.

Upgraded from the Venu 2 Plus and noticed the difference within the first few days. I use mine generally for daily health reads and workouts, and it's everything I need. Also really appreciate the choice of the silicon and leather bands. Great to be able to switch between casual and a bit more formal.

I upgraded my Venu 2S to the Venu 4 45mm and I'm so glad that I did. The battery life on this watch is incredible, lasting more than 11 days on a single charge. I love the Training Readiness features that the Venu 2 did not have. It's a great looking watch too with a larger display than then Venu 2. I'll never buy another smartwatch that isn't Garmin.

I purchased the Venu 4 to replace my Fenix E. The E was heavy and constantly rotated on my smallish wrists. The Venu stays put and does everything I need it to do. I'm a cyclist and use a Garmin Edge to record my rides. The Venu provides the heart rate making for a nice eco system. The Venu provides my sleep metrics so that I can keep track of my body battery. Not only that it is a handsome watch.

Bought a Venu 4 ( I've owned several Garmin watches previously). I went to set it up, and all went well until it required a system update. Now stuck in a perpetual loop of turning on and showing the start up screen and watch face for seven seconds before shutting down and then restarting. No amount of fixes has solved the problem, so my watch will be going back.

So far so good. I went with this one for a better office companion. Design is clean and sleek goes perfect with professional and casual office wear. Tracks my sleep and workouts super well. Love the morning and afternoon reports. Overall amazing, cant complain the more I have it the more I've learned and the better it gets. The flashlight is amazing, you don't know how bad you need it until you need it.

Garmin lost me. I needed to replace an aging Vivoactive 4 and ordered the Venu 4 45mm. I was excited when I finally came, but then super disappointed that they removed the ability to flip the orientation for left handed people wearing the watch on their right wrist. Options include "get used to wearing it on your left wrist" where it will get banged up or wear it on the right wrist and have to awkwardly reach across to the far side to reach the buttons. Why they removed the feature I don't know, but they are driving me to a competitor who does support left handed people better. What a shame because I really like the features and Garmin's reliability.
