Garmin Forerunner 255 vs Garmin Venu 4

Parent context: Nice. I thought of getting the music version but didn't go ahead with it. Reply: I love how easy the timer function is to use. And the alarm wakes me up by buzzing, so my partner doesnt get disturbed in the morning. It also is great for telling me how bad i am sleeping

Parent context: I had 255 and now I have 265.. of course everything is more advanced.. screen is 1000x better.. More activities added.. I turned off touchscreen, I don’t need it too.. Reply: It's literally the same watch, with just OLED and Training Readiness.

If you don't need music on your watch (will be running with your phone either way), go with 255. It's worth it.

At those prices, 255 would be my vote. ... otherwise 255 is cool.

I have the Venu 4. I can’t think I’m missing any stats/data that were on the Fenix 7 that I killed earlier in the year and it’s a damn sight nicer on the wrist.

I’ve had one for about 4 weeks now. It’s very similar to my old Fenix 7 in terms of available stats and battery life. Looks a lot nicer as well. Only issue I’ve had is that it doesn’t seem to like multi band GPS where I live, but neither did my Fenix 7, so I just use GPS only.

Otherwise, the Venu 4 is a very stylish and new Garmin watch with all the features you could need (including a flashlight).

Parent context: It is. It’s exactly their lifestyle/daily watch Reply: Yeah the battery life is probably the best thing about switching from Apple - I get like 4-5 days easy without babying it. The notifications work fine but you're basically just reading them, which honestly is all I need anyway.
