Take steps towards a healthier lifestyle with the Venu 4 from Garmin

Advanced health and fitness smartwatch tracks health trends and lifestyle changes, introduces Garmin Fitness Coach plans to help users hold themselves accountable—all with impressive battery life
Garmin has announced the Venu ® 4, its latest smartwatch in the award-winning Venu lineup with innovative new health, fitness and accessibility features. To help users understand their body better and make healthier decisions, Venu 4 lets them track their health trends and log lifestyle changes to see how their choices affect their overall well-being. It also features a stylish metal design, built-in speaker and mic and a bright LED flashlight that provides greater awareness in dark environments. And with up to 12 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, users don’t have to charge their watch every night, making it easier to monitor health metrics 24/7 and receive a more holistic view of their sleep, heart rate variability (HRV), Body Battery™ energy monitoring, and more.

“We designed Venu 4 to be a personal on-wrist fitness and wellness coach. This premium smartwatch helps users learn even more about their body, provides data-driven insights into how their choices are affecting their health and holds them accountable so they can reach their goals with greater ease.” — Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing

What’s new in:

Health
  • Health status: See whether health metrics like heart rate, HRV, respiration, skin temperature and Pulse Ox while sleeping are trending away from their usual range. These changes could indicate added stress to the body and could be related to physical activity, potential illness and more. This feature is currently available in beta 3 on the watch and in Garmin Connect™.
  • Lifestyle logging: Log custom or preset behaviors – like caffeine and alcohol consumption – and view reports on how those lifestyle choices impact sleep, stress and HRV in the Garmin Connect app.
  • Advanced sleep metrics: Sleep alignment provides even more personalized sleep guidance by keeping track of how aligned the body is to its inner sleep cycle using circadian rhythm. Sleep consistency provides a look at the average bedtime over the past seven days.
Fitness
The new Garmin Fitness Coach provides personalized workouts for over 25 different fitness activities – from walking and indoor cycling to rowing, HIIT and more. These heart rate and duration-based workouts will adjust daily based on activity history, sleep and recovery. Users can set up a Garmin Fitness Coach plan to receive tailored workouts and track their progress in the Garmin Connect app. If users don’t set up a plan, they will still get daily suggested workouts for different fitness activities. For those doing several activities in one workout, the mixed session activity profile tracks multiple activities in one session rather than saving separate activities.

Accessibility
  • Spoken watch face: Hear time of day, health data and more spoken directly from the watch and receive alerts at the top of every hour.
  • Color filter: Users with various forms of color blindness can choose different color display options – including gray scale, red/green, green/red or blue/yellow.
Stylish design, premium features
Featuring a sophisticated metal design, Venu 4 is available in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and comes in fun colorways – like lunar gold and light sand or silver and citron – with leather or silicone bands that can easily be swapped out. Both sizes feature a built-in LED flashlight for greater visibility in the dark, plus a speaker and microphone to make and take calls from the watch when it’s paired with a compatible iPhone ® or Android™ smartphone and use the phone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages. Certain voice commands, like “start a running activity” and “set timer for 5 minutes” can also be activated right from the watch—no phone connected required.

To support every goal, Venu 4 includes Garmin’s suite of health, fitness and connected features, including HRV status, Body Battery, women’s health tracking (including skin temperature for past ovulation estimates and improved period predictions) 4 , the Garmin ECG App5, workout benefit and recovery time, training readiness, wrist-based running dynamics, smart notifications, onboard music storage, safety and tracking features and more.

Available to purchase starting October 17, 2025, Venu 4 has a suggested retail price of PHP 33,290 and may be purchased in all Garmin Brand Stores and online through the official Garmin Stores online in Kinetic, Shopee, and Lazada.

In addition to keeping tabs on daily steps and calories burned, vívoactive 6 can track moderate and vigorous intensity minutes, VO2 max and more. For wheelchair users, wheelchair mode tracks daily pushes and provides weight shift alerts, handcycle workouts and more.
