If you love keeping tabs on your health, tracking your workouts or seeing how your choices affect your well-being, Garmin’s just dropped something you’ll want on your wrist ASAP. Introducing the Venu® 4, the latest addition to the brand’s award-winning smartwatch lineup, packed with tools to help you tune into your body like never before.
This sleek new smartwatch goes far beyond steps and heart rate. It offers deeper insights into sleep, stress, recovery and even daily habits. Plus, it comes with a built-in speaker and mic, a bright LED flashlight for late-night visibility and a stylish metal design that moves easily from gym to everyday wear.
When it comes to smartwatches, battery life is a big deal – and this one truly delivers. With up to 12 days of battery life, you can track your health 24/7 without constantly charging. From HRV and sleep tracking to Garmin’s new Fitness Coach that tailors workouts to your recovery and goals, the Venu 4 gives you a clearer picture of what’s happening beneath the surface.
“We designed Venu 4 to be a personal on-wrist fitness and wellness coach. This premium smartwatch helps users learn even more about their body, provides data-driven insights into how their choices are affecting their health and holds them accountable so they can reach their goals with greater ease,” says Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing.
What’s New
Health
Health Status
See whether health metrics like heart rate, HRV, respiration, skin temperature1 and Pulse Ox2 while sleeping are trending away from their usual range. These changes could indicate added stress to the body and could be related to physical activity, potential illness and more. This feature is currently available in beta3 on the watch and in Garmin Connect™.
Lifestyle Logging
Log custom or preset behaviours – like caffeine and alcohol consumption – and view reports on how those lifestyle choices impact sleep, stress and HRV in the Garmin Connect app.
Advanced Sleep Metrics
Sleep alignment provides even more personalised sleep guidance by keeping track of how aligned the body is to its inner sleep cycle using circadian rhythm. Sleep consistency provides a look at the average bedtime over the past seven days.
Fitness
The new Garmin Fitness Coach provides personalised workouts for over 25 different fitness activities – from walking and indoor cycling to rowing, HIIT and more. These heart rate and duration-based workouts will adjust daily based on activity history, sleep and recovery. Users can set up a Garmin Fitness Coach plan to receive tailored workouts and track their progress in the Garmin Connect app. The watch will still provide users with daily suggested workouts for different fitness activities, even if they don’t set up a plan. For those doing several activities in one workout, the mixed session activity profile tracks multiple activities in one session rather than saving separate activities.
Accessibility
Spoken Watch Face
Hear time of day, health data and more spoken directly from the watch and receive alerts at the top of every hour.
Colour Filter
Users with various forms of colour blindness can choose different colour display options – including grey scale, red/green, green/red or blue/yellow.
Stylish Design, Premium Features
Featuring a sophisticated metal design, Venu 4 is available in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and comes in fun colourways – like lunar gold and light sand or silver and citron – with leather or silicone bands that can easily be swapped out. Both sizes feature a built-in LED flashlight for greater visibility in the dark. Plus, a speaker and microphone to make and take calls from the watch when it’s paired with a compatible iPhone® or Android™ smartphone. Certain voice commands, like “start a running activity” and “set timer for 5 minutes” can also be activated right from the watch – no phone connected required.
To support every goal, Venu 4 includes Garmin’s suite of health, fitness and connected features, including HRV status, Body Battery, women’s health tracking (including skin temperature for past ovulation estimates and improved period predictions)4, workout benefit and recovery time, training readiness, wrist-based running dynamics, smart notifications, onboard music storage, Garmin Pay™, safety and tracking features and more.
