Originally bought a Samsung. Big mistake. It does not monitor/record pulse rates anywhere near what they are. The Venu 3 records pulse rates properly, which accordingly calculates calories burned more accurately. The mapping of my walks/runs is amazing in its accuracy. And the ~week-long battery life is wonderful. I love this watch!!

I bought the Venu 3 on sale to replace my 5 year old Garmin. While it's neat that it can do a few more things, the activities remain the same as before. My main problem is how scratched the screen is already. I've bought a screen protector for it, but I never had to with my last one. I'm almost embarrassed that it looks so old so soon.

Finally pulled plug when they discounted the watch. It is better than my Vivoactive that I previously owned but the battery life is not. Still can’t stop notifications, I get 300+ emails a day, and battery is lucky to last 3 days. Overall the watch is way better than the Apple Watch I used after my band failed on the Vivoactive.

I've had a different brand of smart watch for years, but I haven't been happy with it lately. I decided to try the Garmin Venu 3 after reading many reviews. I have been SOOOO happy with my switch! I love that the Venu 3 focuses on my overall health/wellbeing and not just meeting certain daily goals. The battery life is AMAZING, I can actually track my sleep with this watch instead of having to charge it nightly. It is user friendly- It didn't take me long at all to figure out how to work it and set it up. I love that I can track my water intake with it as well! I am so glad I changed to the Venu 3. The few things that this watch doesn't have that my other one did, I don't miss as much as I thought I would. I love it!

I received this watch for Christmas and have loved it since day 1. I previously had a Garmin Instinct 2 for years, so getting used to the buttons and touch screen is still a work in progress. But the look, functionality, and battery life are great with this watch. The watch has a plethora of workouts, and the watch face is customizable. This watch rivals the Samsung and Apple watches, and I think the battery life puts it above the others and the cost isn't outrageous. I love Garmin watches!

I originally brought the Garmin Venu 2 Plus, then I wanted to purchase one for my wife and found out about the Garmin Venu 3. We both have had Apple Watches in the past, and at the time believed they were great watches until mine just started to fall apart. I refused to purchase another Apple Watch and was looking for a replacement when I found your Garmin Watches. My wife & myself love our Garmin Venu 3 watches and know beyond a shadow of a doubt it was a great purchase. We love all of its features, Watch faces, reminders, huge watch face and different faces we can have on our watches. As far as we are concerned, Garmin hit a Grand Slam Bases loaded home run and we are Thankful.

Love how easy it is to understand and navigate the menu selections. Setting bedtime mode is great as i feel the watch almost force u to get proper sleep even though many of us feel we can operate on 5/6 hrs daily which not rechargeing your inner battery can head to health problems down the line so thanks for that

Garmin needs to fix the bluetooth connectivity. The watch loses connectivity with my Android phone several times a day. When you go to connect to download your sleep data from the night before, you have to restart bluetooth manually. There are many things I like about this watch. Charge lasts about a week. Watch looks nice. Band is comfortable. Lots of faces downloadable and customizable thru Connect IQ.

Best battery on any fitness watch. Started with an apple watch but hated that I had to charge it constantly. First charge was after 8 days (25% left) and I probably could have worn it another day or two without needing the charge. Love the features in the app to build my own workouts then have it record my movement accurately.

I mainly use the watch for running and sleep tracking. I'm not too concerned about the accuracy of the measurements, but it is reasonable and in line with my previous measurements on other devices. The battery life is great, since I don't have to worry about it being out of battery every day. I do charge it once every few days during the time I shower, so I'm not too sure about the exact battery length without charging. The watch is also stylish, and overall, I don't have anything bad to say about it :P
