Yeah I will say I love garmin products a lot but this watch is amazing responding easy to navigate I like brightness of the screen features also battery just last forever . Just one little thing I had problems with a fénix watch couple months ago with cable for charge for some reason the dots on this watch just peel off and then it was no way to charge the watch the Venu3 also has the type of dots hopefully that same issue won’t happens with this one in a near future

I bought this garmin a few weeks ago once my apple watch stopped working. After a month of researching both Venu3 and Forerunner965, I made my decision after watching many runners on social media claim to love this watch and explaining how much better it is than an apple watch. While this might be true, I wasn't aware that this watch would fall short on some key Garmin features that are key for runners. After spending an hour mapping out my courses for the week and deciding on a Pace Pro strategy, it turns out it's not compatible with my Gamin device. So while this is better than an Apple watch, I should have gone with the Forerunner.

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.

So many comments on internet regarding the Venu 4 but nothing from Garmin and out of frustration I purchased the Venu 3 discounted. I would have purchased the Venu 4 had some one advised when timing of release would be. Not happy but I did want to move away from Apple being an Apple user since first release.

I have the original Venu that I purchased 4 years ago and it got a lot of use. I was ready to upgrade my Garmin watch and decided to go with the Venu 3. The watch functions are intuitive, the screen is brighter and crisper and it charges very easy.

Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Hmm, well, I am sorry I waited so long to buy this Venu 3, but maybe I do appreciate it more since I started 'looking' at it over a year ago, maybe more! It has solved many little 'problems' that I didn't think could be solved--one of the simplest and best is the wakeup alarm that only wakes me up at 5:30 (the hubby doesn't want to get up that early; also I love the stats on my activity--it actually inspires me to do more. OK, that's enough love for now.

This is not my first Garmin watch and not my last; I am enjoying several things from the Venu 3 including the following. The battery life is amazing, I charge it once a week and I get a lot of notifications from texts, WhatsApp, home alarm and more. I like how easy it is to setup not only the Venu 3 but also the application for the phone as well as my computer and both of them offer a lot of information of my activities. The watch is always monitoring my health, how well I sleep, if I have to keep moving, or if I need to rest by giving me my body battery information. In the morning it gives me a morning report, including how well I slept, what the weather is going to be like for the day and more. I have taken the watch swimming, running, hiking, yoga, meditation, cycle, exercising and it does great on keeping track. I can pay using Garmin pay without my phone so I like that as well. I can also leave my phone at home when I am doing any of the activities. The watch has a lot of types of activities that it tracks and it also has training programs to follow. The Venu 3 is also compatible with both Android and Apple phones. Overall it is an amazing fitness watch, customizable and well made. I am enjoying it. I would like the charging to be on the side instead of the back but since I charge it once a week, it is not a big deal. I would like a bigger version too.

The first months of using this watch was wonderful. Then all the sudden i was getting connection failed and shortly connection established. This has been going on for several weeks with no apparent reason since many of the time connection is lost the phone is right beside the watch. Now the phone and watch will not pair at all. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GARMIN.

Been waiting for this upgrade for a while and it was definitely worth it. I'm a cyclist and this device compliments my Garmin head unit perfectly. The features are plentiful and the combo is great for even the most avid cyclist. I am particularly impressed with the display quality and the variety of watch faces available on Garmin Connect IQ Store. HRV and ECG are welcome introductions and the operating system is thankfully more intuitive than previous versions. As expected, Garmin Pay works faultlessly with my MasterCard for contactless payments. Voice Assistant is a handy addition, and when used with Google Home, works intelligently with my smart home devices for automation procedures. The watch is lightweight, has a massively improved battery life, and a wealth of new intelligent features (Glances). Garmin Connect is polished and integrates well with third party apps/services. All round, a great buy and I'm impressed with this generation of the Venu.

Perfect balance between a sportwatch and a smartwatch! Does a great and accurate job tracking all my activities! Also lets you get text and email notifications, and allows you to answer calls on your watch as long as your phone is connected. Great battery life! I get about a week or more with daily use. I had the Forerunner 965 witch gave you a ton of activity information but little smartwatch features. I traded it in the Venu 3! It was just what I was looking for! You won't be disappointed!
