Argos has reduced the Garmin Venu 4 41mm GPS Fitness Smart Watch by £100 in an early Black Friday deal, bringing the price down from £439.99 to £339.99 in all five colours.
The round-the-clock health companion offers up to 10 days of battery life and provides continuous insights into sleep quality, stress levels and energy. Built-in GPS lets users leave their phone at home when running, while music and notifications remain accessible through the touch screen.
Design and compatibility
The lightweight, waterproof design suits swimmers, and the smart watch is compatible with both iOS and Android. It comes with a charging cable and a two-year guarantee.
The reduced price is covered by a price guarantee on the Argos website, meaning it will not go lower before Christmas. Shoppers can choose from periwinkle, silver grey, black, bone and yellow, with interchangeable straps available to match outfits.
Shopper feedback
On the Argos website, the Garmin fitness smart watch has received a 92% recommendation rate. One shopper said: "The Garmin Venu 4 is great, the battery life is fantastic: multiple exercise recordings each day and it lasted six days before needing charging."
Another buyer commented: "I bought this just under a month ago an and it is one of the best watches I've ever bought. I can link it to all my fitness apps without losing data and it produces accurate results for all of my activities. The battery is also significantly better than any other watch. I charge it once a week max and don't worry about it dying ever. Would fully recommend."
One buyer marked the watch down due to battery performance, writing: "Mid range priced Garmin with some Rolls Royce features. Does exactly what it says on the tin and easy to use. Premium feel with lots of sports covered. Great screen but with everything turned on it zapped the battery."
