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.

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

I really want to love this watch, but I just can't... I can only just like it. It's good enough to keep, but I wouldn't buy it again even at half the price. Cons: * The battery life is NOWHERE near what is advertised. Even without the always-on display, if you track short exercises and your sleep, you'll only get 5-6 days. With the always-on display, you get two days max. Of course, you could put the watch into battery-saving mode and get a longer life... but then what is the sense of having an expensive smartwatch? * VO2 Max is a joke if you aren't a runner. To use it for cycling you need to have EXPENSIVE Garmin bike pedals (i.e. more than the watch costs)! This borders on false advertising! * Sensors are a bit suspect and unpredictable as compared to my cheaper smartwatch from the large search company. * The on-watch Golf app freezes all the time and is useless ... and IF it worked, to get the most out of it you have to buy sensors that cost as much as this watch * $$$$$$ The Garmin ecosystem is WAY too costly. Other fitness-tracking watches are much more reasonably priced with the same features. And if you want to spend a lot of money on a smartwatch, other watches are much more flexible with a similar battery life (using always on display) Pluses: * Like most Garmin watches, it does provide pretty detailed data and analysis. * Tons of add-on apps and watch faces ... though at this price point smartwatches from the world's highest-valued company offer way more features.

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.

The watch is simply magnificent! I bought this form factor specifically for daily use. I work out with them in the gym, walk, run and ride a bike. They keep the charge perfectly, they have enough for 5 workouts with GPS, well, for the rest during these days. Initially, the watch showed a charge for 14 days, but now for some reason only for 12. I don't know what this is about.

I’ve had this watch for about 3 weeks now, and while that’s not an extended period of time-so far it’s really impressed how accurate it seems to be. I’ve had several fitness watches, but this one really seems to be in tune with my body’s needs before and after workouts-as well as accurately tracking my workout. I love the sleep score and body battery feature.

I purchased the watch about 3 weeks ago and I'm very pleased with it. It performs well for running and listening to music and has great battery life. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sleep score and sleep coach and other health related monitoring.

I've had many Garmin watches and recently tried a Samsung and their hardware/software did not compare. The Venu 3 is accurate for steps, stairs and oxygen sats (compared with hospital oximeter). Expect it will work well with my bike sensors but have not tried yet. BUT, I wear it gently, never when doing anything manual yet the face has 3 scratches already. Per the Garmin website I have not tried anything aside from a microfiber cloth but still they are there. Not sure if I received a defective device or they all have this problem. Aside from this it is a great watch but regretting my decision now.

I bought this Garmin Venu 3 to replace my Apple Watch because I wanted more health tracking features than what the Apple Watch could offer. WOW am I so glad I made the switch. I had my Apple Watch for 5 years and I thought I would never part with it, but I am so glad I did. The Garmin Venu 3 has far exceeded my expectations. Here are my reviews of various features: Battery Life The battery life on this watch is incredible. I can go a full week without charging, including multiple workouts per day, wearing it to sleep, etc. HUGE perk right there. Health Tracking There are so many health tracking features on this watch, including EKG, SpO2, HRV. If you are looking to have a better grasp on health features, this watch checks many boxes. Large Screen My eyes need all the help they can get, so this large screen is really helpful. Fitness Tracking As a very active person (4 strength training days per week, 3 runs per week, and pick-up pickleball 3-5 times per week), I love having a watch that will track my progress. This watch does a great job! It also provides personalized training features based on your fitness goals! Cannot say enough great things about this watch :)

Bought a few weeks ago since my FR645M corners broken rendering the watch unwearable. I have to say the screen on this watch is fantastic... Other than the one minor annoyance repeats of daily goal be achieved it's need a toggle for multiple or once ;)
