My favorite Garmin smartwatch is back at its lowest price ahead of Prime Day — save $50 on the Garmin Venu 4
Given the popularity of the Forerunner and Fenix lines, it’s easy to forget about the watches in the Garmin Venu stable, which have in the past lacked key features, especially for sports tracking.
However, the Garmin Venu 4 is absolutely loaded with the brand’s best sports and smart features, and actually offers more than the equivalent Forerunner, the Garmin Forerunner 570, which doesn’t have the flashlight you do get on the Venu 4.
It’s a great-looking watch too, and right now the Venu 4 has dropped back to its lowest ever price. You can get the Garmin Venu 4 for $499 at Amazon ahead of the Prime Day sales, with all three colors of the watch available in the deal.
I’ve been testing the best Garmin watches for a decade and it’s rare that a watch surprises me in the way the Venu 4 did when it launched.
That’s because the Garmin Venu 4 has typically lacked some key sports tracking and training analysis features that you do get on Forerunner watches.
Garmin positions the Venu line as smartwatches, which is why the two-button Venu 4 also relies more on its touchscreen than Forerunners, which have five buttons. It offers NFC payments, music storage and access to the Connect IQ app store.
The Venu 4 has every feature you get on the Forerunner 570, and then has some extras on top like the built-in flashlight and ECG measurements.

Both watches usually cost the same, too, though the Forerunner 570 is currently $449 in the Amazon sale. As you’ll see from my Garmin Venu 4 vs Garmin Forerunner 570 article, however, I think it’s worth the upgrade to get the flashlight in particular.
Amazon Prime Day is around the corner, and the Black Friday sales aren’t too far away either. There’s a chance the Venu 4 could also drop to $449 this year, but this is a great deal on the watch and matches the cheapest it’s ever been so far.
