Biggest value I get from this watch is that wearing it continuously (while sleeping, at work, working out) outputs super helpful health metrics. Had some revelations about why I always feel so tired and it helped me prioritize sleep. Also being aware of when I get stressed at work and taking steps to decompress has been helpful.

I bought a Venu 3 in early June 2025 and as of this writing (6/22) have been very pleased with its performance. My primary workout and use to date is very brisk walking which it appears to track very accurately. I've also been pleased with its link to my iPhone 16 pro and ability to delivery notifications reliably. To early to give good feedback on battery life overall, however, 7 days or more between charges works for me. I've barely scratched the surface of its capabilities, but so far, so good!

I bought this to replace my Fitbit Sense which died. I loved that Sense, but this Garmin is proving to be a good alternative. It gives me lots of information, and I do not have to buy a subscription--I refuse to buy a watch that won't give me info without a subscription. I am still learning all its features. I've discovered all the watch faces I can download. I love design and color--- I wouldn't buy a watch without it.

I am Happy with my venu 3. I LOVE it for running. I dont Love that I often need to reconnect it to my phone. I use It a lot for running/working out & was extremely excited to have the battery last me 14 days. But I am Lucky if it lasts a week. which is great coming from having to charge my Apple Watch each night. I also Struggle with not being able to respond to texts on it because that was very convenient when wearing my Apple Watch

There is so much information about individual activities and general fitness parameters. I always check the sleep monitor on waking each morning. The insights have helped me to improve my sleep quality. It's like having a personal fitness coach. Life wouldn't be the same without it.

I’ve had this about month. I’m not a big runner, but I do walk daily for at least 40 minutes at a fairly fast pace. I love how it tracks my heart rate zones, steps, sleep, vo2 max. It even tells time. Battery life is great. Only have to charge it once a week.

I received the watch as a Christmas gift, so I've had it for almost a month and I really love it. I've had Garmin watches before (vivofit3, VenuSq), but it has great new features, such as a Sleep Coach and Sleep Score, and provides am overview each morning along with a daily breakdown of your activity levels and stress each night. This is in addition to heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, hydration tracker, cycle tracker for women, and even meditation activities. Highly recommend this watch if you want to monitor your health and activity levels.

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.

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 owned a Fitbit before and are very happy a switched for a Garmin. It takes a little, after 3 years Fitbit, to find my way around in the menus, but it’s ok now. Statistics for heartbeats, HRV, stress and body battery are great and better then Fitbit in my opinion.Also some activities are there now that I missed in the past. I did not check the golf app but looks promising. I still are discovering new nice features. I would by a Garmin again. Best: no monthly charge for all features.
