Garmin Venu 4
Garmin's AMOLED lifestyle watch. Same data story as other Garmins: activities and health data sync as FIT files you can copy off the watch, Garmin Connect lets you export, the Connect Developer Program is for approved business partners, and Home Assistant support is community-made. Gadgetbridge lists the Venu 4 among supported Garmin devices; we rate it partial until feature coverage is confirmed. Garmin Connect+ is optional; core features don't need it.
