When will the Garmin Venu 3 Plus or VENU 4 be available?

directly according to chatgpt;

Looking at the release pattern of Garmin’s Venu series, there seems to be a roughly annual cycle for new models, typically ranging from one to one and a half years between releases. Here’s the breakdown:

• Venu (Sep 2019) to Venu Sq (Sep 2020): ~1 year.

• Venu Sq to Venu 2 (Apr 2021): ~7 months.

• Venu 2 to Venu 2 Plus (Jan 2022): ~9 months.

• Venu 2 Plus to Venu Sq 2 (Sep 2022): ~8 months.

• Venu Sq 2 to Venu 3 (Aug 2023): ~12 months.

Given this pattern, a new Garmin Venu model could potentially be released anywhere between mid to late 2024, around 12 to 16 months after the Venu 3. So, we could anticipate a new model around fall 2024, possibly between August and October, based on the current cycle.

I am in the exact same boat and would love to skip a generation if the V4 will be out anytime soon.

There appears to be many YouTube clips on the Venu 4 on features and benefits from previous versions, but nothing on update as to when the release date.  Anyone have updates?

Agreed!  A long time user of Apple Watch, would like to move to Garmin, but wish not to move to a series where a new one will soon be released.  Very interested in the Venu 4.

Not sure about the timeline, but I seriously hope they don't release anymore Venu series. Garmin's lineup is outright frustrating, confusing, and disastrous. It is impossible to justify the Venu 3 at 450$ and also FR265 at 450$. What's more problematic is, the FR165 at 299$ has slightly better software features than the 450$ Venu 3. 

Garmin has to address these inconsistencies. For you, I would suggest going for the FR series and I guess a new FR 275 is also on it's way (as FR 265 is 2 years old now).

I guess the next one will have it. FR 265 and 965 are now 2 years old, so they are due for an update.
