Garmin Venu 3, Black

I like how it looks and feels. Some of the features don't work for me. The step count doesn't work unless my arms are moving. The body battery is inconsistent as well

Looks good

Garmin

I had never owned a fitness tracker until the Garmin Venu 3 and I love it! It keeps me motivated to be a better me. I waer it so much, I hate to take it off.

Love my Venu 3

I’ve been using this watch about a month now. I will never switch back to my Apple Watch. Features are amazing. I love the functionality and battery life for hiking. Across the board, the best.

So much better than my Apple Watch

I like the size and interface on the Venu 3.  It is well constructed watch. I gave it 4 stars because I am still having issues with the heart rate monitor in the gym and while biking

Good interface

Bought this watch and have had it about a month. Switched from an Apple Watch and never looking back. Love the battery life as well as the smartwatch capabilities.

Perfect for me

Love the watch except for the fact that I cannot use voice assistant with my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Brand new phone and brand new watch and it's hard to believe the phone is not compatible to use voice assistant with Venu 3. Disappointing.

Voice Assistant

Works great with my Samsung. Wish they would update to a qwerty keyboard and a way to start a text from the watch. You can only reply or use T9 to reply.

Great watch for health tracking

Good tracking features and battery live, but pretty poor connectivity with Apple products (iPhone 15, AirPods). GPS connectivity partial also rather slow. Would not but again.

Bad connectivity with iOS

I bought this watch a few weeks ago and I love it.  It has great features and I wore it for 2 weeks before I had to charge it.  I am selling my Apple Watch Ultra 2 it isn’t nearly as good.

Great watch with great features.

I'm very happy with this device offering a balance between smart watch and fitness tracker capabilities.  Things I really like are the morning report for sleep tracking, exact distance tracking/mapping, battery life and refined appearance.

Great Multipurpose Device

I bought this a month ago and I’m extremely disappointed.. I got it to measure sleep and heart rate and the sensor on this one may be faulty.. constantly saying my heart rate is 100+ and only getting 3 hours of sleep (so I recorded myself for a whole week and got 7 hours of sleep.. while the garmin said 3.5 hours… or wouldn’t even measure sleep) I should’ve gotten the venu 4 but will probably never get a garmin again after this experience.

Workout tracking

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.
