Is the Garmin Venu 4 good enough to lure my wife away from a Fitbit? I try to settle our debate
The Garmin Venu 4 offers superior features and doubles battery life compared to Fitbit Versa 2, but its £470 price may deter budget-conscious buyers, the review found.
- This year, after weeks of testing the reviewer found the Garmin Venu 4 outperformed the Fitbit, and reported Mrs B would be tempted to pay for the Garmin despite expectations she might keep a Fitbit.
- Prompted by years of differing loyalties under one roof, the reviewer and Mrs B trialed the Garmin Venu 4, but its setup took most of an afternoon and several Garmin Connect app sessions.
- Feature-Wise, the Garmin Venu 4 includes a torch, watch-face customization, WhatsApp image notifications, and lasts eight days versus Fitbit Versa 2's four-day battery.
- With a near-£470 price tag, the Garmin Venu 4 costs significantly more than Mrs B's Fitbit Versa 2 at around £150, complicating the buying decision, the reviewer said.
- For budget buyers, Fitbit remains sensible for basic tracking despite Garmin Connect app’s complexity, while Fitbit Versa 4’s contactless charger highlights everyday convenience differences.
