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.

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 upgraded from a Forerunner 35 to the Venu 4, and I am very happy with my purchase. The battery lasts more than ten days between charges, the features tracked by the watch are highly customizable, and it tracks health parameters of interest to me. I especially like that it works well in the cold and the rain when I am running or coaching middle school athletes. My Forerunner 35 lasted eight years in all kinds of weather and activities. I am hoping that the Venu 4 will be similarly indestructible.

Couldn't be more happy with this! I switched over from Apple Watch because the battery life was better with Garmin only to come to find out it's all around better. Couldn't be happier with the switch. It did take some getting used to and figuring out navigate around but that with anything new. Still learning all the amazing features!

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

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.

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

It's great but some minor issues. 1) I got a few dead pixels a few days into using it. It's not enough to send back but slightly annoying that a few days into it and having pixels die. 2) In order to have the screen go fully dark at night, you have to download a special watch face. Other than those two issues, I'm fairly happy. Looks great, bezels could be thinner, battery life is good, tracking is good, features are good. I upgraded from a FR265 and happy I did.

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.

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.
