battery life

I bought this about like 3 months ago I use it for working out going out for runs biking but I've had a Garmin 4Runner 165 and that would last me about 14 days to like 10 days this one's lasting me anywhere from 5 days to 6 days at the most and it says it's supposed to last about 2 weeks as well so I don't like that I have to be charging it there sometimes where I have to charge it every 3 days 4 days aside from that I like all the features including the flashlight it is a better upgrade and it's good for my running but just don't like that it dies super quick that's the only issue I have with it

Upgrade from Apple

So far, I like this watch. The battery life is wonderful and I love the sleep tracking, training readiness, etc. I chose this over an apple watch for those reasons, and can't imagine going back. I dislike that 1) I get prompted to take an activity break while in the midst of activities lol and 2) how clunky it is to navigate around. I'm still figuring it out somewhat. I also found the watch super uncomfortable with the silicone band, but once I purchased a different band I didn't notice it at all.

Just right!

I had a Fitbit for years. When it came time to get a new smart watch, I tried the Samsung version first. The smallest one was still too big and bulky. So, I got a Garmin. I love it! The size is perfect for a small wrist. It has all the features I need, and a whole lot fewer nonsense apps and features that I will never use. I like its sensible use of technology, without trying to be something it is not.

Love it!

I have had the watch for about a month, and absolutely love it. Previously I had the Garmin Venu and this upgrade was fantastic. I love all the features! The workouts have been a great addition, the Morning and Evening reports are great to get an overall view of your day/sleep and how your body is handling stress/workouts etc.

Love all the features this watch has

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.

Amazing upgrade

This is my fourth Garmin purchase is 25 years and each watch is better than the last. My Venu 4 is leaps and bounds better than my previous Vivoactive 4 (I had it for over 6 years). The new technology and advanced features is exactly what I was looking for and has some amazing new features I didn't know I wanted. The sleep score and body battery have provided me with helpful insights on how to best help my body recover better from a heavy lift or stressful few days.

Great for health tracking

I have used it for about a month now and I love it! I use it mostly for workouts and tracking my health and so far it has been awesome. The pulseox does burn the battery pretty quick so I changed that to on demand. I would definitely recommend this for someone who is conscious of their overall health. There are others that are for athletes but I'm 55 years old (not a serious athlete..lol) and this absolutely does everything I need it to do.

Was never disappointed

I was never disappointed switching to Garmin Venu 4. The 10 days battery life was a game changer. You can track your sleep scores because you don't need to charge your watch every night and comes with so many other health activities including Pickleball that I love.

Warning to left-hand users

Software features are great such as workout suggestions and overall body stats. 45mm is a perfect screen size to review email and text messages. Surprisingly, the built-in flashlight actually comes in handy from time to time. Only downside is that either the little square notch for the mic or the protrusion of the watch's metal frame under the rather large action-button can be abrasive against the skin of the wrist bone (ulnar styloid process) when worn on the left hand. Didn't realize it was scraping my skin until after completing a half marathon.

Big frustration

Big frustration, the watch with the premium price tag has so many bugs... I set up English as watch interface. Two days later the interface switched itself in German. I had to make the factory reset and to start over watch setup in English. Anyway, I see some words in other language (see the attached photo), Google detects it as Romanian. I downloaded the Manual from Garmin web-site... there are so many discrepancies with actual watch interface... The flashlight turns on spontaneously several times during the day... the menu isn't working, but I found a way to turn it off—by initiating an ECG. I tried to track my walk with 78% of battery charge, but 5 minutes later I got message: "power saving mode activated" and watch stopped tracking my walk. I bought that watch to track my A-fib episodes. But, it was so tricky to take ECG. Almost every time I was getting "Inconclusive result" (see the attached photo"). So, I decided to return the watch to Garmin. By the way, the option "Add Images" on this page doesn't work
