I had the Venu before I made this purchase and was happy with it. The Venu 3 has great features and keeps track of all your fitness activities. It also has a new feature that allows you to place and receive calls which is good. The only thing is that the strap irritates my skin. Other than that, great product.

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.

The watch is simply magnificent! I bought this form factor specifically for daily use. I work out with them in the gym, walk, run and ride a bike. They keep the charge perfectly, they have enough for 5 workouts with GPS, well, for the rest during these days. Initially, the watch showed a charge for 14 days, but now for some reason only for 12. I don't know what this is about.

I own a Garmin Venu 3, Fenix 6X Pro and Samsung Galaxy Watch. Ever since buying the Venu 3, I haven't touched my Samsung watch. The battery life is better than all others. My wife has an Apple watch and I just bought her a Venu 3s because the battery on her Apple watch wouldn't last a day. Now her Venu 3S lasts a week or longer. I had a Forerunner 165 but returned it for the Venu 3 because I wanted a larger screen and the ability to use it to talk on my phone via Bluetooth. The Venu 3 display is awesome too. Bottom line - if you're loooking for a smart watch that handles serious activities, go with a Garmin!! The real hard part is picking the right Garmin watch for your specific needs!!

No matter how good Garmin watches are on release, the fact that they don't get feature upgrades will always hold them back. Most every platform improves the experience of their devices throughout their lifespan -- except Garmin. Although they do release some (presumably) bug fixes -- I never saw a changelog. I noticed one weird inconsistency on my Venu 1 that never got fixed. Otherwise, a solid improvement over my Venu, although a more modern design would be appreciated.

I have used my Garmin Venu 3 for a month while cycling and going through my day.The watch delivers critical health information I need to monitor my Afib & heart rate; I can broadcast heart rate to my Garmin 540 cycling computer throughout my rides (no more wearing the chest strap).

After 5 years of wearing my Garmin VivoActive 3 everyday and being very happy with it, I was looking for an upgrade - and the Venu 3 is definitely an upgrade! The battery life is great, the screen is bright and much higher resolution, and the voice operation works well. Along with many additional new features, it's working very well for me for both mountain biking and gym workouts, as well as everyday use. I'm really happy with this new watch.

Great upgrade from the Venu 2. Much more information displayed on the watch without having to access Connect. More intuitive app selection (e.g., timers, stop watch). ECG & HRV additions are great. Taking phone calls on the watch is much more useful than I thought it would be.

This is my third smartwatch and second GARMIN. I love the features of this watch. I am excited to learn more about the HRV tracking. The GARMIN coach is helping me explore running on my own terms, slowly a 5K. The step challenges with random strangers, great inspiration.

I absolutely love this Venu 3! Great battery life, great display, workout and health features are incredible and very insightful data that’s perfect for improving overall fitness, health, and sleep goals. Data accuracy is spot on and doesn’t over estimate or under estimate metrics. Thank you!
