I am absolutely loving this watch! The screen is just amazing! The apps are awesome! My Venu sq was starting to lose battery very quickly so I decided to get this Venu 3 because my husband loves his. I was afraid the watch was going to be too big for my wrist but it is just right. I love the bright screen and it's so easy to read. We snowboard so the altimeter is going to be great and the battery life is so good. I am so impressed with this watch.

I've purchased the Venu 3 in black (husband) and silver (myself) 2 1/2 weeks ago coming off the Apple Watch. I like the features and the style it gives out. Not so bulky too. The battery was the main purpose for the purchase. I am very pleased with how the battery last for 10 days versus the Apple Watch being charged every day. I limit a lot of the notifications that comes through, and just kept the text and calls going. Overall, happy customers with Garmin product.

Great smartwatch, although I expected more from the battery. I switched from the Apple Watch Series 9 to the Garmin Venu 3, looking for better battery life and improved support for my running and walking routines. However, I’ve noticed that when all the features of the Garmin watch are activated, the battery lasts almost less than the Apple Watch’s. That’s the only downside I can mention about the Garmin Venu 3.

This is my first Garmin watch. I am a huge fan of it overall. I even bought another one for my mother last Mother’s Day. Charging once per week is awesome. 1) customizable watch face 2) customizable middle button functionality 3) customizable strength workouts. This has been a game changer for my fitness, “gamifying” my target heart rates for longer and longer intervals. suggestions to Garmin: 1) super minor, if you’re not wearing the watch, and an alarm triggers, the watch will continue buzzing and beeping, draining battery life 2) rep counting in the strength app is about 70-90% accurate depending on how consistently “jerky” a lift is. For example, deadlifts are almost 100% accurate. But, compound exercises like clean & jerk are very inconsistent. 3) I wish watch could help me target a cardio heat rate. Perhaps once per minute , it could buzz once/twice to say “go faster!” Or “you should slow down!” Overall, awesome product I recommend with beautiful display. Great for anyone looking to improve their fitness

I was an Apple Watch user until my battery started to fail. When the new Apple series 10 and the top of the line Apple offered 18 hr battery life WHEN NEW, I looked for a better alternative. My Venu 3 lasts easily for 8-10 days and it gives me all the stats I want and more. So happy with my choice!

I’ve had my new watch for three weeks now and it has made my fitness tracking as well as sleep tracking more insightful. I love the addition of the sleep coach as it helps you understand when you might need to rest a little more as well as this watch finally tracking naps it’s amazing. Of course getting a Garmin the battery is phenomenal. I only wish that eventually Garmin will release an LTE version of the Venu so I don’t have to have my phone with me to or near me to make and answer calls.

I bought this watch to replace my Venu 2 as the battery died. The GPS did not work so the sent me a refurbished watch (not a new one) and the refurbished watch does not have a functioning GPS either. In short, don’t waste your money on this watch as the basic functions don’t work.

I upgraded from a 1st gen Venu suffering from pixel burn in and really love all the new features and improvements. More sleep feedback, better battery, larger and easier to see screen, better wrist activated turn on, etc etc. Even with the brightness on the lowest setting it is plenty bright. Really happy with it.

I have been an Apple Watch user for years. I even dabbled in Fitbit from time to time when I wanted to really focus on my health. I always dumped the Fitbit and went back to Apple Watch because I just got bored. However, I purchased my husband and myself each a Garmin Venu 3 a little over a month ago and I am still as ecstatic about it as I was the first day! I don’t see my love of Garmin going anywhere!! Set up of the Venu 3 was so easy, paired flawlessly with our iPhones, and they charged fast! We made it through a week of challenging each other to steps challenges, tracking sleep cycles, getting copious amounts of notifications from our phones, treadmill workouts, and just frivolous scrolling all the features on our Venu’s before ever having to charge. We even decided so we wouldn’t “cheat” each other out of steps we’d charge them together so we plugged them up while we decided to watch some TV together. Again, another very quick charge, because by time our show was over we put them back on! I love the ability to download connect IQ and change my watch face. I found the perfect one that has every feature right on my watch face that I want to see (and it’s customizable if I change my mind) plus I can change the colors to match my mood or the holiday that’s near! The real part of the pros of the Venu 3 for me, thought, are the fact that I’m moving more than I ever have. Hitting that step goal every day is so satisfying that I keep going back for more! Also- tracking my water intake. As someone who’s never drank much in her life ever, I’m now drinking what a normal human should lol! I have something to look forward to (meeting that goal!) and it’s not only affected my mood, but also my physical health! My blood pressure is lowering naturally and my glucose isn’t all over the board anymore. I’m feeling so much better in the last few weeks and I absolutely attribute that to my Garmin! So if you’re on the fence… Get it! You won’t regret it. I simply cannot wait for spring and summer.. I’m excited to utilize my watch on some hikes and see what kind of stats I come up with then! And you never know, my first 5K may end up being soon too! From someone who sit on the couch most of the day… if you want some motivation, get the Garmin!

I have been enjoying my VA3 for 5years and it was hard to decide to switch because of the VA3 battery life. I was pleased to see the Venu3 had a comparable battery life with the OLED screen. My concern going from the VA3's MIP display that does excellent in the bright beach sun and waves was equally matched with the Venus OLED display.
