Are there any differences between Vivoactive 4s and Garmin Venu?

HI! I am trying to decide if I want to buy the Vivoactive 4s versus the Venu and comparing the features? Not including the differences in battery life, price, and appearance, what are the differences between the two? From what I can tell, it seems like they have the same functionality for sleep and fitness, and both have same limitations for iPhone users for call/text messages. And music storage seems the same, too. If anyone is able to clarify this, I would really appreciate it! 

Thank you :) 

  • The big difference is the display. The Venu display is very pretty, like a mobile phone, but eats a lot battery power when it is on. The Vivoactive has a more pale display with washed out colors that can stay on for days.

    To add on to what @ovekvam said, here is a link showing the spec differences between the two watches.
