Garmin Venu 4
In the smartwatch field this took for the runners. It is not the crowned answer (Apple Watch Series 11 is), but here is exactly where it earns its place, and where it gives ground.

Why it might win
LED flashlight, sharper display, serious sports tracking
Why it might not
Battery dropped to 12 days from the old Venu 3’s 14, and smart features still trail
Built for people who train
The flashlight and sharper display are nice, but the real case is sports tracking that goes deeper than a general-purpose smartwatch bothers with. At ₹48,300 it costs a little more than the Apple Watch for that specialisation.
Still multi-day, just less
Battery dropped to 12 days from the previous Venu’s 14, though that’s still far longer between charges than the nightly-charging Apple Watch. What you give up in return is the smart-features polish Apple has spent years refining.
