I Avoided Using a Sports Watch Until I Tested This One by Garmin
· By Endurance Wire
Until the Garmin Venu 4 landed on my wrist, I mostly shied away from using dedicated sports watches from brands like Garmin or Polar as my daily driver. Part of that was imposter syndrome; I’m a fitness enthusiast, not a full-blown athlete (yet). But mostly, I wasn’t willing to accept the trade-offs that came with them: clunky software, limited smart features and designs that felt more like gym gear than something I’d want to wear all day. The Venu 4 isn’t the only good-looking sports watch on the market, but it’s the first one that’s come close to convincing me to go all-in.
