Love it! It charges really quick and I don’t have to worry about it dying that day! Only thing I dislike is the naps, if you don’t start it on your watch it doesn’t record it. It does track my sleep really well and there are so many health features and new things I’ve learned about myself with this watch

This Garmin watch is the best purchase I've ever made! It fits snuggly on your wrist on your wrist. It even catches your Pulse Rate heart rate, etc. The Watch Band makes it looks classy in formal! I can even type messages on it! Absolutely fabulous.

This is my husband second Garmin. The look and fit are great. He is a true fan of the Garmin Watches. Love all the features

my son is really into fitness and monitoring his progress and LOVES this watch. i have an apple watch but now also want a garmin!! sooooooo many features and battery life is amazing!!

I purchased the watch about three weeks ago and love it. I have owned the Apple watch Ultra and the 11 and I find the garmin very clear, love the roundness, and how effective the battery alone is. The battery to me is awesome, defitnely Garmin has dominated the market on the battery. So many functions, health to me is better than apple. I believe this will be my watch of choice now. I loved it so much, I bought the Vivosmart 6 in about two weeks. Now i alternate and love them both, so By bye Apple / Hello Garmin. I'm Team Garmin now. What will be my next one?

Bought this about a month ago after buying a Forerunner 170 and a Venu 3 and returned both. Functionality: I've tracked a couple walks and I like how it tracks elevation. The graphs are elegant and insightful. The Garmin app has had no trouble syncing the data so far which is awesome because I ran into that issue in the past with Fitbit. The automatic sleep tracking and nap detection has been pretty spot on in my experience. I like the movement reminders because I have a desk job and it's nice to be reminded to move my body often. The UI of the buttons and touch screen is very simple and intuitive. Tutorials were helpful and I got the hang of it quickly. Music download does take some time but it's so nice to not have to take my phone on a walk/run and still be able to listen to my workout playlists while I'm out. Battery lasts pretty long! As advertised it uses about 10% a day - more on days where the face is more active I'm assuming. But it charges quickly when I'm in the shower and I love not having to charge it daily or even every 3 days. It lasts a whole week at least which is great. Design: I love the size of this watch. Doesn't take up my whole wrist and still has a big enough screen to display everything I want. I downloaded a couple watch faces that I love (Fenix being one of them) and I get everything I need at a glance. The watch strap it comes with is comfortable for daily wear but I did buy some handmade leather straps for more dressy occasions and the charcoal color of the watch goes well with dark brown, light tan, and forest green leather! Love the look of it. I'm really happy with my purchase. I have a relative with the same watch and it's lasted him a long time so I hope I get to enjoy it for a long time as well!

My son bought me the Venu3 for my birthday 2 years ago after I had a heart attack. July 1st 2024. This July 1st i was back in the hospital. My watch showed my heart rate would drop to 26bpm. In actuality it was doubling up. I was having an extra heartbeat every three or four beats. I'm doing fine now. I love my watch. I wish I could figure out the golf app...lol!

Before I bought my Venu 3 I had an Apple Watch, I travel a lot and just keeping up with the charging on that thing was such a chore that I finally got to where I was mostly just wearing a dead watch on my wrist more often than a live watch. I was a bit worried I would miss some of the functionality on the Apple watch. After using the watch for 3 months, I don't miss anything about the Apple watch. The Garmin does everything I want it to do. It has a revolutionary feature where when I wonder what time it is, it shows me what time it is... immediately... without having to click through 97 popups or find a location to charge. It does allow you to get notifications from your watch but I disabled that feature on Day 1. It also keeps track health stats (steps, sleep, etc) and has some useful health related features that I can use when I want to. But mostly its just a watch and it doesn't demand a lot of my attention. As I write this review, I don't remember the last time I charged the watch and it's at 15%. I will probably charge it later tonight but if I don't it will probably still be alive tomorrow in low power mode and in my experience stays alive on the last 5% for enough time to not require a panic charge. It also charges super fast. As far as appearance, it's a little plain but it's not terrible. I bought some rubber bezel/edge covers in different colors that make it look a little more like a real watch. Search for Venu 3 Bumper Frame on walmart.com - I just bought the open face kind sold by some obscure foreign company I'll never remember the name of. I don't have a glass protector and don't feel like I need one, no scratches to date. I don't like the rubber wrist straps in general (even the Apple ones) so I bought a 3rd party nylon strap with velcro that also improved the look IMO. It's definitely harder to find that style of strap than for the Apple Watch but they are out there. It's definitely not as polished from the software side, things are a little clunkier and the layout/menus are a bit confusing. It took me a few weeks to adjust but now I could care less and I actually kind of like that it discourages me from fiddling with my watch all the time. Some of the advanced health metrics require a 2-3 week data collection period before they start working right, which was my main anxiety at the beginning. It doesn't integrate with apps which I thought I would miss. For example when my plane starts to board it doesn't popup an app notification telling me my plane is boarding, but that was so laggy I was usually already in line before it went off and I can't think of anything I miss about that. Overall I love this watch and significantly prefer it over the Apple Watch. The battery life is amazing and it doesn't demand daily attention but still tracks all the health metrics I wanted and presents them in a nice way when I want to look at them.

Watch is fantastic for a non Apple user. My main concern was SpO2 which was missing from Apple Ultra 2. Initially I was skeptical however after using it for a while, I believe this can be considered apart from apple. You can play offline music, leave watch at home for a run or trail. The only major thing missing was a cellular connectivity. However its light. Unlike apple heavy watches and filmsy google watches, this one has had many rough days. One of the things ypu wpuld consider is to buy a separate starp as stock one is silicone. Also, there is a mode available for almost any kind of sport you can think of.

I upgraded from the 2. Love the 3. Tracks my 75 year old carcass pretty well for many of the things the cardiologist likes to see. BIGGEST COMPLAINT it does not have a Treadmill WALKING setting for us "Old" people who fron knee replacements can not run anymore.
