I've only had this watch for a month. It has way more features than I knew I was getting. Even though I will only use a few of them it does what I wanted. I especially like the sleep score..its helping me get much better rest by making me more consious of what I need to do to sleep better And I'm sure I will learn more of the features over time. I also like the improved battery life.

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 come from a different smart watch -- the bit of Fit. Using my Venu 3 was a night and day difference. It is drastically better than anything I've ever owned. There is so much ease, so much clarity, and overall, is a far superior watch than anything the other brand could ever produce.

I primarily bought this for the Garmin reliability and the ECG option. As a timepeice and activity tracker, it is solid. The ECG is picky with wrist/forearm placement/pressure. I have about an 80% success rate. The watch vibration has been "audible" since day one and people in meetings will ask me "Is that your watch??!!" I've contacted support a few times and they have been less than helpful and do not followup. I've also noticed that features disappear and even full resets can't bring them back. The ability to take calls on my watch disappeared, music doesn't play anymore, but the Starbucks app works and Scouts can find my watch if it give them the GPS coordinates.

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

I have been using my Venu 3 for about 3 weeks now. Overall so far I am very happy. I have been able to track steps and sleep and some basic info. I am looking forward to exploring and using more of the great functions available. I leave the watch on all of the time and have it go in sleep mode each night. I using give it a quick charge when I am in the shower, which has been more than enough to keep it going.

This is hands down the best smart watch I have ever had. I have been wearing technical watches like this for over a decade - I was an early adopter and have use many different levels of watch from many different brands. I have worn these types of watches 24/7 for almost 15 years and this is the BEST and gives me ALL the information I need. I like it better than the Fenix series for the cost, comfort, and display. I think the Fenix is overkill for 99% of users. I have several other Garmin products such as cycling computers, a Tread, bicycle trainer, etc and anything the Venu is able to handle, my other devices which are activity/vehicle dedicated fill in. It is great.

Crystal clear display with exceptional battery life. The perfect blend of advanced fitness, sleep, HR tracking and smartwatch features like audio control, messaging, guided workouts. Also pairs with Peloton to be used as an HR monitor during workouts. Glad the Venu series added sensors that the Vivoactive removed. Great watch!

I've had this watch for about a month now. I previously was running a vivoactive 3 until it got to the point it wouldn't hold a charge the entire day. When I upgraded I wanted similar features and the venu3 had the integrated speaker so I went with that. Expectations wise it's been great from a a user standpoint and is responsive. Unfortunately from just everyday use it turns out the metal is just painted rather than dyed so it scuffs easily and I can see by the end of the year my black metal watch turning silver from simple usage. And for the record I have a desk job so it's not like I'm taking it into a construction site.

I gifted this smart timepiece to myself after returning the purchase of GOOGLE Pixel 3 for defects unexpectedly. I never had a smartwatch, fit but or any type of tech watch because I always believed a "watch is a watch" lol...however, March 2025, GARMIN made me a believer. The easy set up, the advanced health and fitness tracking with a user-friendly design and long battery life. I appreciate its accurate heart rate tracking, particularly during strength training, and its ability to monitor various metrics like sleep stages and blood oxygen. The Venu 3 also offers a good balance of smartwatch features, including notifications, calls, and text messaging.
