It's no secret that Garmin produces some of the best fitness watches on the market, but many of these capable devices come with an equally-hefty price tag. This means that Garmin watch deals are always a cause for celebration, particularly when our favorite model gets discounted.
The Garmin Venu 4, our top recommendation for the best Garmin watch for most people, just received a 17% discount during Amazon's Spring Deal Days sale, knocking the price down to its lowest point ever recorded.
The Garmin Venu 4 scored a near-perfect 4.5/5-star rating when it dropped late last year, effectively leveling up everything that made its predecessor, the Venu 3, such a hit. You get an AMOLED display with 2,000-nit brightness straight out of the box, plus a stainless steel bezel and case. There's even a built-in flashlight!
Under the hood, the Venu 4 sports a comprehensive suite of health-monitoring sensors, including (but not limited to) ECG, HRV, breathing rate, SpO2, and skin temp. The Venu 4 also boasts a ton of useful fitness-focused software features, such as Health Status, morning and evening activity reports, Body Battery, and more. The dual-band GPS tracking is also highly accurate and reliable, while features like Bluetooth calling and voice commands will be a welcome addition for anyone who's missing smartwatch features in their fitness trackers.
The Venu 4 is fairly sleek for a fitness watch, but it's worth mentioning that it is a bit heavier than previous generations, potentially causing discomfort if you wear it for sleep tracking. Other drawbacks with the watch include slower charging speeds and slightly less battery life than the Venu 3 (mostly because of the improved display).
Are these minor issues a deal-breaker? That's totally your call, but if you want a powerful fitness watch with a stainless steel build, built-in flashlight, and a ton of health and fitness tracking features, the Venu 4 is one of the best options around — particularly when you slap on a historic discount.
