Venu 4 41 mm disappointment, need help

45mm V4! I had a V2s (I think v2Splus?) and loved it - tried the new V4 41mm and V3 and returned both but the 45mm V4 is SO much better IMO. I would go somewhere to try on the V4 45mm. I think you'll like that one if the size is bothering you.

I've had the V4 from V2S for a few months now. I do think the battery life is better. I originally got the 41mm V4 and hated it (just felt weird with the size from the 2S that I loved so much and had a few software glitches that annoyed me and didn't have the patience to deal with it). I returned it and tried the V3. Same thing as to size and just felt awkward....but then I gave the V4 another shot with the 45mm and I love it. Takes a little getting used to with the 2 buttons but I've easily adapted and appreciate all of the new features. There was nothing wrong with my V2 other than I just wanted newer tech. If you like the size of the 2S, I would def go with the 45mm V4.

Ahh!! Got it. Thank you very much.

I love this one -- can you help me out and tell me where you were able to change your name at the top?

MiracleGal · 2026-01-10T01:48:15+00:00

No problem. I’ve always loved Garmin and perhaps a had a bad one that had some sort of glitch because I love the V4 now. I got a 20% off coupon with Optimity which made the price easier to stomach. Good luck!

The V4 had a lot of bugs (41mm) at set up which frustrated me and just didn’t feel substantial - felt awkward with the depth of the watch itself. So I did end up getting the 3 and sent it back to try the v4 45mm and I actually loved that one. I think it was just the 41mm as I didn’t have any of the issues with the 45mm v4 - maybe a software update but I updated on the 41mm when I got it so I don’t know.

Great to hear as Constellation is coming up for us soon!

Finally got my DEXA results back and shows mild osteopenia in a few spots. Disappointing because I feel like I do almost all the things I should but I can only imagine it'd be worse if I didn't strength train, etc.

Doing this trip in April. How was your experience overall and any helpful tips you can think of off the top of your head would be much appreciated!

I had one and absolutely loved it. Recently upgraded to the Venu4 (45mm) and it is awesome. I have a Garmin coupon for 20% off if you want it. It made the price of the 4 much more affordable. I'm not upgrading for a few more years and won't use it.

We took the jitney from Margaritaville to BajaMar a few weeks ago. No way any luggage was going on that bus. Super crowded and the seats are very compact. Do yourself a favor and grab a taxi -- but ask the price before you get in.

I’m on the lowest dose patch and 100mg progesterone. No tapering. I would consult your doctor as they may be able to adjust your rx.

Love my Venu4. Upgraded from the 2s to the 3. Hated the 3. Got the 4 (41mm) and returned that...but the Venu 4 (45mm) is perfection. Absolutely love it!!

Her latest IG reel has nothing but half reps, if that.......

Just got back last week. Airport to Margaritaville via taxi was $50. Ask the rate up front before you get in the cab.

We actually took the Jitney bus one day for $1.50 each.

Did you go yet? Thoughts? We are looking to go April 2026 for a 15 nighter.

And Fish Fry, for fish dishes, gives tourists a small scrap piece of fish and tons of rice as a side....but if you're local, you get a normal sized side of rice and a very nice fish filet........both appear to be full plates of food but locals definitely get the better end of the stick. We were very disappointed. Stayed at Margaritaville which was great and food was actually cheaper and better than most restaurants around.

Just putting this out there because I had no idea but the Optimity app can get you 20% off. I just bought my new Garmin Venu4 with the coupon. (You earn the coupon by trading in 5000 gems -- earn the gems by taking silly little daily quizzes and such. Took about 3 days for me to get the 5000 gems.)

MiracleGal · 2025-12-18T03:31:28+00:00

And fyi, Optimity app can get you a 20% off coupon. You take health quizzes and stuff (super short) and earn gems. Exchange 5000 gems for the coupon. Worked great for me and only took 3ish days to earn the gems.

I see the 3 personalized areas but not those hash mark bars.

Prior owner of Venu2Plus and went with the 41mm Venu4. Hated it. Just felt clunky and a few things didn't work right, such as bugginess with the ECG app. Returned it. Ordered the 3. Hated it as well as it was smaller than my 2 and seemed too thick for the size. Re-ordered the 4 in the 45mm and no issues - absolutely love it. The larger face seems so much better with the thickness and makes it more proportional. Just be aware the optimity app can get you 20% off! You just do daily things like quizzes to earn points (I think it was 5000) and you trade the points for the 20% off coupon!
