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 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!

Love it, it has great features, had* a great battery life until an update a few months ago. Now it dies in less than 48 hours. I don't believe I've even had it for 6 months before this happened. I've been working with Garmin techs on troubleshooting but still no fix yet. Hopefully it gets figured out because 2 day life is not cutting it with my lifestyle.

I bought the Venu 3 about 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely impressed with the features and performance of the watch. I am a watch person and previously used the Samsung Galaxy watches. This is no longer the case Garmin Venu 3 is my go to watch. I even bought the Venu Sq2. Great battery life and watch overall.

I have had two Fitbit smart watches and the sensors on the bottom fell off and they just did not have the features that the Garmin has. What an incredible smart watch and my spouse has an Apple smart watch and there is absolutely no comparison between the other two brands. This smart watch is awesome!

This watch replaced a Fitbit that was four years old, and stopped tracking my steps or sleep score. So far, it works well, and hopefully it lasts longer than four years. Garmin could do better with training you to use all the features, as it's not easy to sift thru dozens of videos on its use, especially for new users to Garmin products.

I have an Apple Watch with cellular but I always have my cell with me. The batteries don’t last. That why a switch to Garmin I have the choice to receive and make call and check my mail. I can also track very accurately my exercise regimen. Very satisfied with my purchase

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 got the Venue 3 as a birthday gift about a month ago and it is amazing. I check the watch and the connect app daily and is such an amazing tool to track my health and fitness. I didn’t know that my sleep was as bad as it is and the sleep coach has been such a huge help!!

With that being said, Almost everyone has a snatch watch and I’ve done my fair share of research and I knew I’d get my bank for my buck when I bought the Venu 3. From the feature to the look it’s exactly what I needed. It’s convent and efficient and the interface is amazing. Honestly I wish I would’ve waited because the Venu X1 came out a month later! And I already love that one as well. Job well done Garmin. Job well done. The ONLY Cons are, there is no interface or software enabling texting, I’m sure IPhone charges to enable IOS crossover but even so I can still get all the notifications and information I need from all apps with their icon, and the Bluetooth range could be a little longer. That’s it. But my phone is with me all the time when I need it to be… so I just pull my phone out when I need to text or view anything anyways!
