Differences between Garmin viovactive 4 and Venu
The Garmin vivoactive 4 is available in two versions, which differ only in size. These are the vivoactive 4 and vivoactive 4s.Display
Let's start with the biggest and most important difference between the Garmin vivoactive 4 series and the Garmin Venu. This is the display. The Venu has an AMOLED display. Both Garmin vivactive 4 models have a MIP display. All variants have a touch display made of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3.In the resolution we also have differences here:
- Garmin vivactive 4s*: 218 x 218 Pixel
- Garmin vivactive 4*: 260 x 260 Pixel
- Garmin Venu*: 390 x 390 Pixel
Thus the Garmin Venu offers a clearly better picture. This is exactly the sense behind the model. The Garmin Venu should finally appeal to the public who value a good look. So far in my opinion a small Markel at many watches of Garmin. Especially if we look a little deeper in the price segment. Only the Fenix series has always had a better look, which is also evident in the price.
Size and weight
Both in size and weight, the Venu also stands out from the vivoactive 4 series. Overall, the Venu lies between the vivoacative 4s and vivoactive 4.| Garmin vivoactive 4s | Garmin vivoactive 4 | Garmin Venu | |

| Weight | 40,0 g | 50,5 g | 46,3 g |
Battery life
Probably also the much higher resolution display is responsible for the lower battery life of the Garmin Venu. In comparison to the three models, this one comes off worst.| Smartwatch | With GPS and Musik | |
|---|---|---|
| Garmin vivoactive 4s | 7 days | 5 hours |
| Garmin vivoactive 4 | 8 days | 6 hours |
| Garmin Venu | 5 days | 6 hours |

Which watch is right for you?
The only difference is the size and especially the display. If you want a high resolution watch with a better picture, the Garmin Venu is your choice. However, this will cost you some battery life and a higher price.If you are only interested in the function, then depending on the size, the Garmin vivoactive 4 or Garmin vivoactive 4s is your choice.
Overall, the Garmin vivoactive 3 music can also be very interesting for you. It is cheaper than the vivoactive 4 series. The predecessor doesn't offer much less. You can find more about this in the comparison between the Garmin vivoactive 3 and 4.
