I wore the Garmin Venu 4 for weeks and it made me rethink my Apple Watch Series 11
· By Endurance Wire
By Lee Bell Published 1 May 2026 In Reviews Garmin has never had much trouble making wearables for runners, hikers and cyclists. Its Forerunner and Fenix lines are the go-to choice for anyone who takes their training seriously. The trickier challenge has always been making something that appeals to people who also want a watch that doesn't scream "fitness fanatic!" every time they glance at their wrist. That's where the Venu line comes in. It's Garmin's attempt at a lifestyle smartwatch , one that blends the brand's deep fitness and health tracking with a design that sits more comfortably alongside an Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch.
