Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am using it for over a month now and totally happy with this watch. great for all sorts of activities indoor-outdoor etc. music works great on the watch. the battery goes over four days with normal use and charges quite fast. a bit clumsy to understand the setting initially but once you get used to it no problem. the only problem I experienced is having very few watches faces available from Garmin and a third-party watch faces are not compatible with a stay on screen. An overall great fitness watch.

It’s nice looking and I got it to keep track of steps, and a few other things. I’m too dopey to figure out the other features

My son really likes the function of the watch. He likes thebease of the programming and the way he can do all he needs to.

On sale, nice upgrade from the Garmin vivoactive music. Good battery life, bright display.

I have had the Garmin Venu for about a month now and I continue to discover and experiment with what it can do. Prior to this I had, and still use Vivosmart HR, and the Venu not only replicates the Vivosmart's features, but has improved on them. The HR is more accurate and with GPS enabled, the distance covered on foot is more accurate. I have found the Body Battery feature to be informative and is great at encouraging me to gauge how rested I am and how intense my next workout should be. Yesterday I used a guided/animated yoga workout for the first time and I already know that I will be introducing yoga to my routine from now on. The watch band is comfortable, the buttons are easy to press, but the touch screen can have a slight delay. If you're used to a smartphone you will notice this delay right away, but will become accustomed to it. The OLED display is fantastic and that advertised battery life has been spot on! Garmin should really expand the watch faces that are available in IQ though. And please remember, this is a fitness watch first, a smartwatch second. If you're not into fitness, this may not be the watch for you. I am very pleased with this purchase and look forward to trying even more workouts on my Venu. (I still use the Vivosmart for cycling, though. If I go down on my bike I don't want to ruin the Venu).

Excellent watch, with many functions. The GPS can be a little slow sometimes.

Nice smart watch, does everything I want . All the bells and whistles

I bought this watch to monitor my heart and oxygen. I does an excellent job in keeping my health history and instant feedback. The watch is much more and the tie to my phone keeps me advised to communications sent to me by providing a visual cue that a transmission has been made. There our other features that I have as yet not enabled with supportive apps.

Love my new Garmin watch! Had a Fitbit previously, but this tracks your exercise in many more ways. Very happy with it.

Heart rate is not very accurate to be honest. Size of watch is too small.

This is the best smart watch I’ve ever had. Not only does it look nice, it’s comfortable to the point I forget I’m wearing it. It’s easy to sleep in. This watch is easy to use and understand. I use it for my rowing workouts and with two clicks I’m ready to go. It works great with my iPhone 13 pro max. This watch is also easy to read. I can see me having this one for a long time.

Love this watch upgraded from my last garmin. Has all the features of the venue square

Branched out to a Garmin after I broke my Apple Watch. It does all you need, but it’s not a very user friendly interface in my opinion. Love the battery life though, only need to charge it once or twice a week max and charging is very fast.

long battery life, nice screen, looks sleek, tracks measurements well.

I bought this so I can count my steps. I really like it since it is very customizable to what I wanted it for. The method to change the face plates by linking it to my computer instead of my phone is my only issue. I got it to work, but it was not as straight forward as I wish it was. Overall it is a great watch.

The functions and accuracy of the Venu have definitely impressed me. I will not go back to a Fitbit and I have had several equivalent Tidbits with each failing shortly after the warranty expired. A huge advantage of the Venu in my mind is the ability to replace the wrist strap with any standard watch rather than the proprietary expensive Fitbit bands!

This has really worked out for my needs. I do not use all its capacity: i.e., I do not use it for phone calls or music. I exercise regularly, walk a lot too. It is easy to set up to move from one type of exercise to another (run/walk/bicycle, et cetera). Upon the onset of Covid-19, I was very happy to find it constantly monitored blood oxygen content (one of the first indicators of Covid-19 infection is a decrease of blood oxygen levels).

Loved it, the only reason I returned it was because I couldn't answer notifications or calls which I was so used to with my previous watch. If that's not a issue for you, go for it. Works amazing, the app was my favorite, you get sooooo much useful data from your workouts, sleep, health in general. This color in particular is really nice, looks more expensive than it is and I got many compliments.

I've been a Garmin fan for several years, and owned a few of their bands and smart watches. What I've always loved is: the build quality, the functionality and the Garmin Connect app! What was always lacking is: aesthetics & screen quality. The latter has been improving lately, especially in vivomove and the vivoactive watch series. But the graphics' quality was still very disappointing, considering that Samsung, Apple and Fitbit have been offering superb, crispy screens for years. Until this Garmin model. I just bought Garmin Vivoactive 4s in January, and had to forgive the outdated looking graphics for the sake of other features I love in Garmin products. Also, when the watch was off, it was a very cool looking watch. I must say, that Garmin Vivoactive 4 pictures look deceiving on all websites where this wathc is sold, i.e. the real screen looks much duller and is noticeably pixelated. But the Venu description is accurate. I was thrilled when I turned it on and saw these beautiful colors and crispiness! It is 10 steps up compared to all other models, and I was so pleased that now, everything is perfect in my fitness - smart - watch. Dealing with watch faces has significantly improved as well. Before, installing the 3d party watch faces from Garmin IQ app was a nightmare. So frustrating and glitchy, that you just end up using a preinstalled watch face...Now, I was able to install all watch faces I like and switch between them (it's still not as smooth as on a Samsung or Apple watch, but you can do it now). I hope to use & enjoy this watch for a long time and, kudos Garmin on a fantastic product!:)

Battery life is super Display is super Features are super
