I brought the Garmin Venu 3 a while back as I needed something to monitor my health as I will be 91 years soon. Each morning I checked my sleeping during the night, how many steps I am walking daily, how many calories I am burning daily and so forth. I am able to keep my weight to a healthy 170 lbs at the end of the day. I also have the Garmin scale that Island to an app that gives me valuable information on my health. For me the Garmin Venu is truly a great way to monitor my health on a daily basis. Highly recommend the Garmin Venu series smartwatch smartwatch. 1 wear the Garmin Venu 24/7.

I bought the Venu 3 about 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely impressed with the features and performance of the watch. I am a watch person and previously used the Samsung Galaxy watches. This is no longer the case Garmin Venu 3 is my go to watch. I even bought the Venu Sq2. Great battery life and watch overall.

I gave my husband an EPIX for our anniversary and he loves it. He wanted me to get a Garmin too, so I did the research and waited for the Venu3 to come out. I have read the instruction manual and this watch is a dud, at least with an iPhone. I am not getting notifications on my wrist to let me know I have a text or phone call, but I click to open the notifications app and there are 25 that include business and junk emails, and calendar items not calls or texts, which is all I want. The only notification (vibration) I do get is that I am disconnected from my phone if I walk into another room, only steps away from my phone. When golfing, the golf app shows the entire route on the road and how many mile to get to the golf course, then it shows my speed at 3-6 mph. Yeah. I’m in a golf cart! It does not sense when I have hit a shot or how far it went. This watch was a gift and I don’t want to complain, but don’t waste your money. You can download a golf app onto the Fitbit sense and get front, middle back distance and not miss out on texts or calls. I am going to try to return.

Had some reservations about the price of this watch but it's worth it. Better features than anything else I have had. I don't really like trying to use this for talking on the phone over my phone. I just think it looks stupid when people do it in the wild. Notifications are pretty good and are pretty customizable, just like the rest of the watch. I like to fiddle with my tech so if you are an Apple user you might not like the settings that you will have to adjust. The number of watch faces on the beautiful screen is almost endless and if course if you want to customize them it is available. This one match does more for tracking than ANY OTHER WATCH. Full stop. If you are serious about exercise and keeping yourself healthy and want to know how you are doing in the most detailed way, throw away those other watches - it's not even close. One thing Garmin - please provide a better strap, the type that come with the iWatch or higher level Fitbit. Small upgrade that is cheap, I bought a replacement...

Very happy so far. Made me focus on my walks and stair climbs :) which I didnt care before this watch as I am a cyclist. Would have preferred a squarish look on the watch (3 SQ not out yet). Looking forward to other detections such as sleep apnea and ECC in the EU zone. More details for cyclists and runners will be appreciated so that we dont have to keep up with two different Garmin watches... Thanks

I bought the Venu a couple of weeks ago. I have worn the Vivoactive, Vivoactive 4s and the Vivoactive 5. I finally got fed-up with the inconsistency of the HRM on the 5. I decided to upgrade to the Venu (larger size) and I am very happy with the decision. It has some features that I have not had before and the HRM is more accurate. I bought a Garmin HRM 600 so I would have very accurate measures. When wearing only the Venu watch it is way more accurate than than my Vivoactive 5 was. I swim laps in the pool with it, so open water swimming and use it on my bike. I like that I can very clearly see the screen, especially while swimming. Beautiful, bright display on this watch.The battery life is better than the Vivoactive 5, and this time of year I use the GPS a lot when training outside. I like the strong vibration for alarms and notifications, but also like that this Garmin has sound. I have answered my phone and made a call from the watch. I have an iPhone so I can’t use the text option. I am still exploring features on the watch, and I’m very satisfied with this Garmin and with my decision to upgrade and spend a bit more for a better HRM and additional features.

The Garmin Venu 3 was easy to set up and integrate with apps. Its light and comfortable for all day wear and does a great job of tracking runs. The Venu 3 can also work with fun apps for golf and other sports. The watch is great for beginners who are looking to get started with running and monitoring workouts and for experienced runners that need the basics without too many bells and whistles.

I’ve had my Venu-3 for about one month and like it very much. My 2 complaints are minor. #1, the documentation is not good. The manual is more a reference guide & less of an instruction book. It assumes you are already familiar with the terms used (like “glances”) without any explanation. My #2 is that although the watch is very customizable, there are annoying things I cannot turn off. For instance, during a quiet time (like a church service) it will vibrate to let me know it’s time to get up and be active. That said, I really like the health monitoring features like Pulse-Ox, ECG & heart rate.

I've only had this watch for a month. It has way more features than I knew I was getting. Even though I will only use a few of them it does what I wanted. I especially like the sleep score..its helping me get much better rest by making me more consious of what I need to do to sleep better And I'm sure I will learn more of the features over time. I also like the improved battery life.

If you’re buying this for insight into your sleep just stop right there. They get it wrong almost all of the time. You tell it when you normally go to bed and wake up, and it gives a poor output based on that. Are you watching tv after “bedtime”, it thinks you’re in light sleep. Do you nap during the day? It doesn’t recognize it. If I get up in the middle of the night to pee it thinks that’s when my sleep starts even though I’ve been asleep for hours leading up to it. It does such a poor job at figuring out sleep they should just remove the feature so as not to disappoint people looking for that info. 0-0 would not recommend.
