Garmin refreshes its hit smartwatch line: Venu 4 introduces new wellness tools
The Venu line has long been one of Garmin's best-sellers, praised as an all-rounder smartwatch that blends fitness smarts with an everyday-friendly design. We highlighted that balance in our review of last year's Garmin Venu 3, which earned strong marks as a versatile watch that didn't lean too heavily into the "sport watch" aesthetic.

With the Garmin Venu 4, Garmin is doubling down on wellness tracking. The biggest upgrade comes on the software side: users can now log lifestyle details directly into the watch, such as coffee consumption or alcohol intake. These records feed into Garmin's health metrics, allowing the device to provide more nuanced insights into how daily habits influence factors like stress levels and heart rate variability.

Sleep tracking has also been refined. The Venu 4 can now better assess how closely a user's sleep schedule aligns with their natural circadian rhythm - and suggest adjustments if necessary.

On the hardware front, changes are subtler but still welcome. Battery life has been extended to up to 12 days (in smartwatch mode, for 45 mm model), and Garmin has added a built-in LED flashlight, a feature we've praised in past reviews of models like the Fenix 7 Pro for its surprising everyday usefulness.
