Beats the Apple Watch like a rented mule.

Been looking to replace my vivoactive 3 as it doesn’t hold a charge for a full round of golf anymore. Wanted an AMOLED screen and caught the Venu 3 on sale. Love the screen and battery life. Great watch for golf, skiing, and just as a watch. Plus you get afib detection, HR and pulse ox. The variety of screens to download and customize is unbelievable. Better than my Apple Watch by a factor of 3. Better screens. Better battery life. Apps that Apple charges for are free with the Venu 3.

So far so good

So far, I like everything about my new Venue 3, particularly as compared to my now battery dead Vivoactive 4. The battery lasts longer, the display is large and of better resolution, and I appreciate the additional capabilities the Venu 3 adds, such as the ECG App.

Best battery on any fitness watch. Started with an apple watch but hated that I had to charge it constantly. First charge was after 8 days (25% left) and I probably could have worn it another day or two without needing the charge. Love the features in the app to build my own workouts then have it record my movement accurately.

Needs a few changes ...

I bought this a few weeks ago so: - My HRV needs 3 weeks before it will be useful - There is no data on Sleep Debt as in some other apps - There is no data on Morning Recovery / Readiness / Energy - The Germin Venu 3 watch has 3 switches which are all on one side (right side when worn on left arm - left side when worn on right arm) ... On my Apple Watch the switches 'can be swopped' - The Germin Venu 3 watch cannot be worn too close to the end of the wrist - The MOST PROMINENT switch (of the 3) on The Germin Venu 3 is positioned exactly in THE MIDDLE ... This is often accidentally pressed and it then automatically starts VOICE ASSISTANT !!! This is extremely annoying.

first smartwatch

Got it for Christmas. So far so good and still learning all these functions that the watch have. One thing i think is not as accurate is the heart rate monitor. Reason i said this is because i know my heart is racing after doing a few pushup, but monitor is not reflecting it. Did not get a chance to utilized the GPS function yet. Definitely good battery life. Looks good. Still learning and alot of function i have yet to use.

Heart features

I have been wearing my Garmin vue 3 for about 2 weeks now. It has been very insightful on why I am so fatigued at times. I have Ehler Danlos Syndrome and dysautonomia POTS and my pulse will jump 40 beats from laying to standing. My body battery often drops to 5 at the end of the day.

Beat expectations

Spent a good deal of time searching, reading reviews and watching videos. Ultimately the battery life won me over. I'm over 70 and thought the Venu 3 might help motivate me to keep moving, running is out of the question with a bum knee however I'm walking more now that I have the watch to keep me aware of my daily totals.

Really enjoying my venue 3

Had it a couple of months. It was hard for me to switch from my Apple Watch but I had it with their battery and how frequent I need to charge it. My venu 3 is charged for at least 8 days and gives me all the Apple Watch info and actually more data. And it looks nice

Amazing and overwhelming.

I’ve had my Garmin venue three for a couple months now. Still learning the ins and outs of its operation. Trying to set up a custom workout is frustrating. Not finding any of the specific exercises that I’m looking for. Subsequently what I’m doing is not on sync with what the watch thinks I’m doing. Still working on a custom watch face. Just not finding the items I’m looking for. Overall I am really enjoying this new watch. Coming from the vevo, active three it is quite an upgrade!

Venu 3 Makes Dreams Come True

I am elated with my new 45mm Venu 3. I was an Apple Watch guy, but quickly grew tired of it due to limited health stats and the need to charge it every day. Yes, the Apple Watch complemented by iPhone nicely, but its pain points, i.e., charge frequency, negated any benefits. My Venu 3 gives me more health stats, i.e., stress, than the Apple Watch. I wake up to a robust daily health profile that kills the Apple Watch's metrics. I was able to pair the Venu 3 to my iPhone w/o any problem. The 1 thing I cant do with the Venu 3 is respond to messages from the watch face - I see them, but I can't respond. This is the only loss as far as I am concerned - a minimal loss at best. My biggest upside to the Venu 3 is its OMG beautiful screen, robust set of health metrics, and that I get between 10 to 11 days of use before I have to charge it. If you haven't guessed, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Garmin Venu 3. Bye Bye Apple Watch.
