Garmin Venu 4 45mm straps & accessories
For your Garmin Venu 4 (45mm) to deliver accurate health and fitness data, the watch case must lie flush against your skin. As the larger model is slightly heavier and bulkier, the 22mm-wide watch strap plays a crucial role in stabilising the watch and preventing it from shifting during rapid movements. The right material ensures the sensors maintain constant contact, whilst allowing your wrist to breathe. Tailor your choice to your most frequent activities:
- If you’re into running, HIIT or heavy lifting, a sturdy, snug-fitting silicone strap is the best choice. The material gently grips the wrist and secures the larger case so that the heart rate sensor doesn’t lose its reading due to jolts, whilst also withstanding heavy sweating.
- If you wear the watch round the clock and value sleep tracking, we recommend a woven nylon strap. The wider contact surface distributes the watch’s weight evenly across your wrist, and the material’s breathability prevents your skin from becoming trapped and irritated during the night.
- If you work in a professional environment, a classic leather strap or a robust metal bracelet offers a premium feel that complements the watch’s size in a balanced and stylish way.
Smart accessories that optimise your experience
The striking, wide display is one of the biggest advantages of the 45mm model, but it also presents a larger surface area that is susceptible to scratches, knocks and wear and tear. As well as a secure fit around the wrist, your smartwatch needs the right accessories to withstand an active lifestyle and track your health round the clock without technical interruptions. Our protectors and accessories are precisely tailored to the 45mm case. Protect your investment to suit your everyday life:
- If you frequently find yourself in harsh outdoor environments, in the garage or at the gym, a full-coverage bumper case or a tempered glass screen protector is a must. It’ll take the brunt of the impact if you accidentally knock the large watch face against a door frame or a barbell.
- If you travel frequently, go hiking or forget to charge your watch at home, an extra charging cable for the office or a power bank is a simple solution that ensures you never lose valuable data (such as HRV status) due to a flat battery.
- If your training involves a lot of dirt, dust or mud, you can extend the watch’s internal lifespan by using model-specific dust plugs for the charging port, which minimise the risk of corrosion from sweat and moisture.
Frequently asked questions and answers
Which strap width fits my Garmin Venu 4 45mm?
The larger 45mm version is designed with mounts for 22mm-wide straps, unlike the smaller model which uses 18mm straps. All watch straps on this page are exactly 22mm wide and guaranteed to be compatible with your watch case, providing the support and weight distribution the watch requires.
How does the quick-release mechanism work when changing the strap?
Just like on Garmin’s other premium models, these straps use standardised quick-release mechanisms. You don’t need any tools. Simply pull the small metal lever on the back of the strap to the side, and the pin will release from the watch’s attachment. You then click your new strap into place in the same intuitive way.
What’s the best way to look after a 22mm watch strap?
As a wider strap has more contact with the skin, regular cleaning is important. The easiest way to clean a silicone strap is to rinse it with lukewarm water and a little soap straight after your workout, then dry it with a towel. Nylon straps should be rinsed by hand as needed and left to air-dry overnight to preserve their elasticity.
Does a screen protector affect the touch functionality of the large screen?
No, a high-quality, model-specific screen protector affects neither the clarity nor the sensitivity of the screen. Provided it is applied correctly to a clean, dry surface, the touchscreen will be just as responsive as without a protector, but with the added benefit that you won’t have to worry about scratches when leading an active lifestyle.
