It ok, but...

I'm disappointed that the Venue 3 voice assistant won't bluetooth to so many android phones including my Galaxy S23 Ultra. I have in excess of 8 hours researching, talking with Garmin and txt chatting with Samsung regarding this issue. Garmin is and has been aware of it, but the customer doesn't become aware of it untill he/she is in the process of setting it up in the Garmin Connect app. Garmin should be up front transparent about this.

THIS is my favorite Garmin watch yet!

I bought this about a month ago, so I'm still getting used to things, but I'm so in love with this watch. Touch screen is nice (Although it's sketchy when I'm drenched in sweat or water) and the features are pretty logical, so getting acclimated is a breeze. My favorite feature is the ability to download music from Spotify directly to the watch. I have had a problem keeping my headphones in my ear, but the watch has a speaker just loud enough for me to hear while I'm running. FANTASTIC! I definitely recommend this to folks for running / swimming / biking. I don't do much else, but if you're coming from an older watch and want to avoid the REALLY expensive watches, this one is a great choice

Gamechanging Upgrade to My Vivoactive 3

I’ve been wearing the Venus 3 for 3-4 weeks after several months of my Vivoactive 3 essentially becoming unusable due to not holding a charge. The Venus 3 is light years ahead of any of my former Garmin watches. The screen is vibrant, the functionality makes sense, and I love all of the new apps and features (most probably aren’t new but to me they are!). I really like the ECG app and all of the enhanced health features and the activity sensing feature is also really cool. I don’t normally track casual walks with our pup but now my watch does it for me! I didn’t realize how much I’d enjoy that. Great purchase! I’m only kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Great.. no amazing watch

It's been close to a month now with this beast of a watch and it's amazing. Watch history was apple watch which was great but battery is a no no for me till about 8 months ago. Then moved to a amazfit watch (gts 4) which fixed the battery problem but lacked some more smart watch features since there was close to none there till last month. No fast forward to now and I found the perfect mix. Good battery, good smart watch functions, great fitness tracking capabilities. I have AOD for about 15 hours of the day and that lasts me about 4 days and I use the fitness tracking for about an hour and a half a of which is not what was promised but still great to me which is better than 1 day. It is helping keep better track of my training plus my own body. 10/10

Great Features!! Super fitness Watch

I really love this Garmin Venu 3. Screen size is just right and very responsive to touch and the screen brightness is super. I've turned down the brightness to 30% and it is still very bright. I'm enjoying the battery life. 10 + days on a single charge given its screen brightness and feature set is impressive especially coming from two major phone giants where you may get a day or maybe slightly more. The build is great and solid. I have placed a screen protector on and will add a soft bumper on occasion that warrants it. It is also very stylish. Functionality has been top notch. It's very accurate and allows for monitoring of my heart as I have a-Fib. It can do EKG, oxygen readings, sleep monitoring, Heart rate variability, has a body battery and stress levels. Overall I made the move because I feel it really is focused on fitness. And of all other smartwatches, for me, I have enjoyed the accompanied phone app that gives me a readout which is concise and informative. Much more so than others I've used before. This is an impressive smart watch. I thought it a bit expensive but after using it has been well worth it. I highly recommend it.

Venu 3 Whitestone with Silver Bezel

I have been wearing this Venu 3 watch for over a month. (Female wrist approx 6.6"). It came with a beautiful bright white and silver silicone watch band. It is comfortable without being too bulky. I'm a 1st time Garmin customer. The watch was easy to figure out straight from the box. I enjoy all of the fitness metrics both on the watch and in the app. It offers lots of motivation tools such as reminders to move and badges to earn. I wish there was a white nylon band that I could purchase to switch out sometimes. Can't find one anywhere.

Works as Described

This watch is as advertised. Data seems accurate and reliable and battery life last about 2 weeks. It's light weight and still stylish, which is the style I was interested in. It's very similar in size and style as the Samsung Galaxy but with better battery life and more data.

The Features are Great

I have had this watch for about a month and it is amazing. I was using the apple but the charge was not for me. This watch stays charged for a week and I have absolutely no complaints. It is amazing and if you are a gym junkie then I would say run and buy it. The features are perfect for all the things gym related.

Absolutely love this watch! Upgraded from the Lily and OH WOW!!! This is my 4th Garmin and I love how they keep upgrading and add to all of the metrics. I love the body battery, the HRV, the ease to use, everything! I am slowly getting back in to fitness and this is a great transition watch for that!! all the activities and tracking are perfect!

Major upgrade from Venu!

I owned the Garmin Venu for several years but needed to upgrade because of poor battery life. I love the Venu 3—the upgraded features (body battery, sleep, fitness, ECG) are really nice. I am still trying to figure out how to use the golf feature. It worked well on my Venu, but it doesn't work the same on Venu 3.
