Yes, I believe the Venu 4 is better than the Apple Watch Series 11
Now, if you don’t agree with me that the Venu 4 is an objectively better device, allow me to quickly list out a few things:
- Built-in LED flashlight;
- Up to 12 days of battery life;
- Health status;
- Lifestyle logging;
- Sleep alignment;
- Fitness Coach.
As you may have guessed, these are all features that the latest Apple Watches are missing or can’t really compete with. And granted, the Series 11 does hold a number of undeniable advantages of its own over Garmin’s newest “mainstream” smartwatch (like hypertension notifications and optional cellular connectivity), but in my book, those have nothing on the Venu 4’s battery life strength.
Do you know how many times you need to charge an Apple Watch in the space of 12 days? That’s right, about 12 times. Of course, we all understand that the Garmin Venu 4 can’t last 12 days between charges in any usage conditions, but even the four days promised with the always-on display functionality continuously enabled is a number the Series 11 can’t hope to come close to.
The Venu 4’s powerful LED flashlight is another super-convenient tool Apple cannot rival due to its potential impact on the already modest battery endurance, while the newly added health and fitness tracking capabilities should consolidate Garmin’s clear existing superiority in that very important field (for me, at least).
In short, the Garmin Venu 4 sounds like it will prove more convenient, powerful, and versatile than the Apple Watch Series 11 in areas I legitimately care about (including in-depth sleep tracking), not to mention that it’s compatible with both iPhones and Android handsets rather than playing favorites in the mobile OS support department.
So what’s wrong with this thing again?

If you’ve been considering a Garmin purchase in the past, you may have also noticed that the company doesn’t discount its products quite as frequently as Samsung, so if you’re thinking of waiting a little to see if the $549.99 tag goes down to $449.99 or at least $499.99, you might be in for a pretty lengthy wait.
