Garmin Venu 4 (45mm)

Best forFitness tracking with longer charging intervals than many app-first watches

The 45mm Venu 4 suits someone who wants fitness tracking, longer battery life and a useful built-in flashlight. It is less compelling if a wide selection of apps or cellular independence is essential. There is no LTE or full-color mapping, so do not buy it as a substitute for every outdoor-focused Garmin.

Reasons to choose it

  • Fitness-oriented software
  • Built-in flashlight

No full-color maps
