I had this watch and just recently sold it. It is so thick on the wrist. Looked like a hockey puck sitting on my wrist. It was absolutely huge.

I’ve had all kinds of Garmin watches and the Venu 4 is my favorite. It’s a great combination of a touch screen watch with superior training features. I have the 45mm and it’s lightweight and very comf
the Venu 4 (and Garmin devices in general) is a different type of device than you're used to.
I went into my Venu 4 (had it just 6 days so far) with different expectations (I didn’t expect it to be like an AW) and I absolutely LOVE it.
I was looking into the venu 4 but have yet to see an actual watch on display in the store to see the display/screen responsiveness etc. I really want to get more active this year and would really appr
Aww man, I keep going back and forth on which one to get. Venu 4 or AW S11.

Also get the venu 4 since it just came out.
I just picked up a Venu4 earlier this week and find the sleep data is fairly accurate so far. Registers when I'm moving around wildly, when I wake up etc. Battery life so far is great; out of the box
So I would go for the Venu 4. ... The Venu 4 also has a flashlight, which you'll love. The flashlight alone would be reason enough for me to choose the Venu 4 over the Venu 3s. Plus, the Venu 4 comes
