Device Comparison / Recommendation

Hi all! I'm prepping to run my first TCS NYC (3rd overall marathon) and switched from AW to Garmin (Forerunner 265s) since Garmin provided more insights and better training for my runs back in 2023. I still have my AW for my stationary bike workouts and for its smart capabilities, since Garmin doesn't really do stationary bike workouts unless you get an additional accessory (would love to hear what you all do for this specific naunce). Now, my conundrum is the release of the Venu 4 — I hate the sporty look of my Forerunner for everyday wear, and usually wear my Oura ring during the daytime. If I were to get the Venu 4, I wouldn't wear it to sleep, just during the day, and I would still wear just my Oura ring for overnight and any outings where a smart watch looks too bulky. In all honesty, I'll probably sell my AW since I haven't used it in months, and whenever I do, the workout screen freezes and I have to do a hard reset. Do you reckon it's a waste of money to get the Venu 4? I'm more likely to wear my watch every day if it's more casual and matches — superficial reasons, but reasons nonetheless. Appreciate all of your opinions and suggestions.
