Very pleased with this replacement for my Venu2s: My gone-too-soon Venu2s needed replacement. I tried the new Galaxy watch and returned it posthaste - terrible battery performance. I bought the Venu4 45mm and am very pleased with it. The promised long time between battery charges is sound and welcome. The surprise was the ability to change fonts making it easier to read messages and notifications. A lot of thought has gone into the design and engineering.

Expensive but lots of bells and whistles: bought this a couple weeks ago. Very pricey and I definitely am not using it to its full potential, but I loved the battery life. Didn't think I'd use garmin pay as I always have my phone but it's nice for an emergency - though it doesn't support many of my banks which is disappointing. I love the customizability of the watch faces and your garmin status page so if that's a big thing to you, you won't be disappointed. I did not think I'd like the coached exercises, but they are pretty useful. I have not been able to use this for a hike or run, but for my purposes it's a bit extra/much since I don't do anymore super off grid hiking/trail running, and the golf features are fairly useless to me. But for something that offers looks, battery life, and a bit of durability, it's great. One note, the watch band options are disappointing. And honestly the main bell and whistle I got it for was the flashlight which has already been useful in random times. Will definitely need it for camping just as an emergency.

Too many features to choose from.: I bought to replace a Venu 2+ which I liked until the battery faded away. I hope garmin has improved their batteries and enables replacement of batteries.

Too many features.: Good for the most part lens scratches way to easy had it one day and got a scratch can't return it now I only need a watch for health but now I'm stuck with it. hate the band wrist always feels sweaty. don't like that the sleep app doesn't update until 1 am instead of when I wake up so I can only check my sleep status on the watch. Not too good for the price.

Great for small wrists: Love this watch. I have small wrists and this doesn’t feel too large or thick. It replaced my Music 645 that I’ve used for 6 + years. It’s a great replacement for it. I love the touch screen and all the futures I now have. It’s been great for running on the road and treadmill as well as hikes. The company was easy to work with!
