Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm Fitness and Health Smartwatch

Known for its form and function, Garmin’s Venu line is at home at the office, on the trail, or at the gym. Shining brighter than ever the Venu 4 has a brilliant AMOLED touchscreen and a sleek metal case. Below the surface, an array of sensors is ready to help you live and train smarter, including the same ECG-capable heart rate monitor found in their top-tier GPS and training watches. In a Venu first, the 4 uses its training sensors to help you keep an eye on your health. By monitoring things like heart rate variability, skin temperature, and blood oxygen levels, you can make little tweaks to live better – whether that means getting ahead of an oncoming cold or adjusting a new training routine. Garmin’s Morning Report is now joined by an Evening Report. One helps you plan your day, even providing a daily suggested workout, while the other helps you plan your tomorrow, with rest and recovery information. An internal speaker and microphone let you take calls, ask Siri a question, or have your on-screen metrics read to you. When paired with your phone, Garmin’s free Connect app lets you review activities; receive texts, social media alerts, and emails; download training plans; keep an eye on the weather; and more.
