The watch performs better than expected. The data you get from swimming, walking, and such is great. A limitation that's annoying is you can't go below certain custom lengths on the watch. You can manually update it in the app after, but if you have it linked to something like Strava it only pulls the original recording, which makes it look like I'm world record holding swimmer. If you plan on doing indoor cycling it also doesn't allow you to manually put in a reading from a bike for distance/speed, you'll need to buy a Garmin sensor for that. Other than those two gripes I love it. I wear it to sleep and it doesn't feel heavy wearing it.

Have had this watch for a month now and still trying to figure out some of the features ... I am sorta of a guy who wants simple, and this watch isn't exactly that ... many features that I won't use, but that's ok as I can just work around that stuff ... features I use are great and so far it's performing all the things i need very well ...

I'm BACK! After being lured away from Garmin for the bells and whistles...I find the Venu 3 to be the perfect fit of smart watch and health smart device. I like the GPS accuracy as it's hands down the best in the industry. I found a watch face that looks sharp and brings me just the right amount of data and information in a stylish display. Glad to be back Garmin!

I purchased the Venu3 as a replace for my Apple Watch that would no longer hold a charge. It has all the smart watch functions that I utilized with the Apple Watch. It has been easy to learn to use & I do like that I only charge it about every 6 days.

I owned the Garmin Venu for several years but needed to upgrade because of poor battery life. I love the Venu 3—the upgraded features (body battery, sleep, fitness, ECG) are really nice. I am still trying to figure out how to use the golf feature. It worked well on my Venu, but it doesn't work the same on Venu 3.

Watch have great set of features and good battery life, although companion application could be better also some features are working worse than expected which doesn’t seem to be of rocket science and already existing for years in other watches, responsiveness and built quality/materials could be better for its price.

I’ve had this watch for about two weeks and I love it. It does everything I need and quite a bit more. I do have a small problem however, with the size of the wrist strap I have very thick wrist and sometimes it’s uncomfortable, but that’s not enough to knock a star off.

I got my watch a month ago and I am still discovering more features. I especially like the extended battery life particularly when I go on extended hikes using the GPS feature. I find the heart monitor much more accurate then my previous watch as well. The sleep feature is helping me to be more aware of my sleep quality. Highly recommend th Venu 3

Switched from a Apple Watch 8 to this Garmin Venu 3. I am really impressed with the motivation this causes. For some reason closing the rings on the Apple Watch, is not nearly as exciting as adopting challenges and trying to achieve them. The commitment on the Garmin is great. I love the data, and the coachs built into the system that give practical advice. The body battery is a great feature also. Overall, its not the easiest to setup, and the app is not as refined. But looking past those things, its a better data and motifvation machine over the apple watch. The band that came with the watch did not do well for me, and caused me issues. I replaced the band and solved that problem easily.

For example it keeps a ton of information on any golf course but I have not yet figured out how to find the distance to a hazard. Also only recently stumbled onto how to change distances from meters to yards. Same for my bike ride there are three screens of information on a ride, but once I saved the ride I could not find screen 2 or three. A very smart watch, but likes to keep secrets.
