Stepping up in Garmin's range
The Venu 4 marks a considered departure from its predecessors, swapping the polymer construction of earlier Venu generations for a stainless steel case with a metal-forward aesthetic that sits closer to a conventional watch on the wrist. The integrated LED flashlight on the case side is a quietly useful addition — the sort of thing that earns its keep on an early run or in a dim gym, rather than feeling like a feature added for the specification sheet. At 56g with the strap fitted, it carries less than most steel-cased watches of this diameter, and the 12.5mm profile keeps it from riding too high. The 1.4-inch AMOLED display is the dial here, and on always-on it runs to around four days between charges; managed in standard smartwatch mode it stretches to twelve. The grey silicone strap uses quick-release pins at 22mm, so switching to something dressier takes seconds without tools.

Learn more about Garmin
Gary Burrell and Min Kao founded Garmin in 1989 — the name is a contraction of their first names — to build GPS receivers for aviation and marine use. Consumer navigation came later, and wearables later still.
Unlike most names in this directory that arrived from outside watchmaking, Garmin is not a licence. It designs and builds its own devices, writes its own software and runs its own satellite-positioning stack, which is why its watches do things Swiss houses do not attempt.
The fenix line established the template in 2012: a rugged multi-sport GPS watch with mapping, altimeter and week-long battery life. Forerunner covers running, Instinct the hard-wearing end, Venu the smartwatch end, and the MARQ line puts the same electronics in titanium and sapphire at Swiss prices.
Battery life is the differentiator. Where most smartwatches are measured in days, Garmin measures in weeks, and in solar-charging models sometimes in months.
These are instruments rather than heirlooms, and they date the way electronics date — but for anyone who actually trains, they are among the few watches on the market that earn their place.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
Cheapest place to buy
