    Love the product, especially the stats for fitness tracking. The display is gorgeous and the battery life is the icing on top! Only complaint is the buggy method of adding podcasts to the watch’s storage to listen to while going for a run. It works, but just takes more effort than needed with synchronization issues. Not a garmin venu specific problem, more just a garmin issue.

    This watch has the absolute best specs and performance compared to other warches on the market. I've used a few smartwatches before including the Apple watch, Fitbit, samsung, and a ew others and this one is hands down the winner. Love the activity tracking and battery life.

    Absolutely love this watch!! Very light weight and comfortable to wear even while sleeping….plenty of features and health monitoring/activity tracking options and features. Although I didn’t try it yet but the option to download songs to watch itself sounds great…and battery is great too, it went from 100 to 40% in 4 days….would recommend it highly! Only con I see is that to add apps or to download watch faces, it needs another app, at least on iOS, not sure about Android though…but not a big deal for me.

    I really like the look and feel of the watch and activity tracking options. Improvements can be made to the backlit screen to make it more digitally pronounced. Also, it takes a couple minutes to get the GPS signal for tracking outdoor runs. My other cheaper Garmin watch was much faster in this aspect. Overall I would rate it as a good purchase for the price considering the available features.

    I have owned 2 previous Garmin watches. I love that it tracks all of my physical activities. It monitors my sleep and heart rate. They are very important to me. I hike a lot and knowing how my heart is doing in real-time and the miles hiked are important. I have sleep apnea so sleep monitoring.

    I come from a Fitbit ionic - it gave up after about 2.5 years of use after Fitbit's update failed to install properly. And since it was out of warranty, I decided to get something new. I was looking for something with good battery life (even with always on display), reliable fitness tracking and some smartwatch capabilities. I considered the Fitbit sense, but its 2-3 days battery life just did not cut it (with always on display and overnight SpO2 tracking). So after a good amount of research, I ended up with the Garmin VA4. I am super happy so far that I moved to Garmin from Fitbit. I get about 5 days of battery life with always on display and a custom, stats heavy watch face (with white background)

    The features include GPS, Notifications, and health monitoring. It helps me track my sleep and stress. It is a great upgrade from the vivoactive HR. Has all the features plus more and still has about 6 days battery life.

    I've had the watch for over a month now! I've had 4 days of battery life with 1 hour of activity tracking, 9-10 hours of sleep tracking and over 100 notifications per day. I love the app for it's fitness tracking features. It has certain smartwatch features. I wish the connect store was little bit more extensive with regards to smart watch capabilities. I also wish that the watch came with nap tracking. It only detects sleep during the "assigned window". And lastly I wish the Garmin connect app was more intuitive!

    I got this for my son for Christmas! He loves it and he’s amazed at how smart the watch actually is! It keeps up with his light/deep/rem sleep patterns. It keeps up with his stress levels and his steps. He can control his music as well. I could not have chosen a better watch for him! Thanks BestBuy for a decent price and super fast shipping. I definitely recommend this product.

    Overall I am very happy with this watch. I wear it all the time and even for sleeping. I use it mainly for the walking. The stats that it provides are very useful information. There are also lot of other activities- swimming, biking, running, etc. that are available.

    Comes loaded with lots of activities to select from. It has tons of body information that seems pretty accurate, such as HR, respirations, stress, sleep, steps, levels, activity calories, etc. I would recommend this watch to anyone whom is active and wants something to accurately track data. Love my Garmin!

    I switched over to this watch after having an iwatch for two years. I just felt super board with the iwatch and wanted something a bit more versatile with multi-sport. So far so good! I'm excited to see what this watch does for tracking my sleep and stress points.

    Middle of the road.

    Overall this is a good watch and does everything I needed. There is two cons to this in my opinion. The step counter is accurate(logs steps when stuck in traffic) and the battery life isn’t great. I had to turn off some of the features I used to extend the battery life. The activity tracking is great when I go mountain biking.
