“Se han subido a la parra con los precios estos de Garmin y sobre todo en esta serie Venu.”

45% of 94 verified owners recommend the Garmin Venu 4, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.
4 owners report specific problemsin troubleshooting threads (setup, firmware, or hardware faults). These are capped in the score above so a problem-report thread can't dominate it — read them under the Doesn't recommend filter below.
Affiliate blogs here say 100% recommend, while the owner-based score is 45%. They earn a commission on every sale — so we show them for transparency but never let them move the score.
The headline score reflects owners (Reddit, enthusiast forums), independent lab tests, blogs with no affiliate links, and YouTube owner-comments when they line up with owners. YouTube and Affiliate blogs are shown for perspective but kept out here — hover the i for why.
Synthesized from what Garmin Venu 4 owners say — not a spec sheet.

“Se han subido a la parra con los precios estos de Garmin y sobre todo en esta serie Venu.”
“No está nada mal”
“I like it a lot, but I’m still trying to figure out some of the screen in the evenings. It feels like it dims overly aggressively and takes its time in brightening back up”
“I HATE the Garmin app. It’s my least favorite of all the watches I have, but the watch itself is probably my favorite of the brands”
“Lo tengo hace tres días y muy bien”
“Pésimo , es lo mismo que un reloj deportivo”
“I don't find the UI clunky because I'm not constantly trying to use the watch for things I could be doing on my phone”
“la verdad es que no decepciona”
“my venu4 is regularly restarting and boot looping. Often over night and I wake up with the blue triangle on the screen. I've already reset the watch, but it didn't help.”
“Venu 4 is soooo nice like this, yes it's still not the slimmest watch of all time but it somehow makes a real difference compared to the Fenix. It feels lighter on my wrist too. And looks great!”
“it’s definitely a lot thicker and heavier than my Apple Watch which will just require some getting used to”
“The Sleep Tracking is interesting but I can wake up feeling like I got the best sleep of my life and my score is 34 with a “non restorative”. It’s just flawed science”
“I got mine the first day while running and it randomly restarted. Then it was often restarting - especially during the night showing up as gaps in the body battery.”
“the Venu 4 is so sleek that it does look smaller/more insignificant than prior models”
“I went from OG Venu to Venu 4 and as you would expect it is a massive upgrade particularly with the new OS they are using. I use the flashlight function every night”
“Couple of days in now and I’m still not quite satisfied. Perhaps going for a Fenix 8”
“I’ve been loving it so far- looks amazing, has all the training stats, and the flashlight is awesome as well. No complaints about the battery life either”
“But last week I woke up to the blue triangle, read online to troubleshoot, called Garmin, and they essentially tell me my watch is shot and send me a new one.”
“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”
“Same issue since day-1 and on every firmware version that I've been updates to: doing an activity and listening to music, watch freezes.”
“las funcionales excelente”
“Ive had the garmin venu 4 since end of December and havent had one issue, my pulse ox is off at all times and I get about a solid 12 days of battery”
“The treadmill distance tracking is not working properly, i have save and clibrate it many times, the wrist gesture works intermittently”
“The metal body and more premium feel are definitely what sparked my upgrade. I’m also really enjoying the new training metrics”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I have the same watch and use pulse ox ( BTW - not very accurate ) all with no issues. Run about 23 miles per week and take it off just to shower.”
“Battery depletion at 2/3 brightness, AOD, BT checking out different watch faces, torch, calls etc was around 2.5% per hour while testing.”
“It's absolutely tiny and barely noticeable. Still, I wanted to mention it because it happened so soon after I unboxed the watch.”
“The problem resolved itself for me; I haven't had any problems since the last update a little over a week ago.”
“I used the golf feature yesterday, it did take about a “day and a half” of battery”
“My battery is lasting about 4 days between charges on Venu 4”
“0,5mm difference between the two. Not noticeable at all”
