What to know about Garmin a microphone and speaker
A microphone and speaker do not automatically mean the watch has standalone cellular calling. On most Garmin models, phone calls and access to Siri, Google Assistant or Bixby still depend on a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone. Some newer models also support Garmin Voice Command directly on the watch for actions such as starting an activity or setting a timer.
Which Garmin watch with a microphone and speaker should you buy?
For most people, the Venu 4 is the most sensible choice because it combines the microphone and speaker with Garmin’s broader health, fitness and smartwatch features without moving into the heavier outdoor ranges. Runners should look at the Forerunner 570 or 970, while the Fenix 9 or MARQ Gen 3 make more sense if you also want advanced navigation, outdoor features or premium materials.
