Garmin Venu 4

Rating: 4.5 Price: $349 Tested: 14 days

Battery is the headline: 10–12 days with two GPS runs weekly. AMOLED stays readable outside. GPS locks fast; multi-band kept routes clean downtown.

Training readiness, HRV status, and body battery give practical guidance. Smart features cover pay, offline music, and notifications; app store is lighter than Apple/Google.

Pros

  • Long battery
  • Accurate GPS/HR
  • Strong training metrics

Cons

  • No LTE
  • Speakers/mic just okay
  • Smaller app ecosystem

Should you buy it?

Yes for long battery and solid fitness metrics. Need LTE or richer apps? Look to Apple/Pixel. For everyday fitness with endurance, Venu 4 fits.
