Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 52mm, the Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 47mm, where the Apple Watch Ultra 2 starts to hang over the edge. Above 52mm both sit cleanly, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 gives you more presence.
The Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm wears larger than the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (45mm vs 44mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm is the slimmer of the two (12mm vs 14.4mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm feels lighter (38g vs 61.3g, case only).
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is thinner than 74% of the 44mm watches we track and the Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm than 76% of the 45mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Garmin Venu 4 - 45mm is 1mm wider, 4mm shorter, 2.4mm thinner and 23.3g lighter than the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
