This is actually my second Venu3. A replacement for the one I lost overboard on my boat. I was tossing a cast net, it snagged the watch ripped the strap and off it flew. I stopped on the way home to buy a new one! I have been wearing a Garmin it seems like forever. This is now my third over the years. I love the data and feedback. Paired with Garmin app on my phone it provides a great data stream of exercise results, daily activity and health data. I cycle, swim, walk, and golf. It is great at tracking my needs and data for all those activities and far more. Personally I can never imagine wearing a watch that just tells time. Honestly the Garmin watch has been transformative. It is great as a motivational tool to keep me going. The functions the Venu offers are all I need to keep very accurate track of my activity. The ability to customize the watch to user activities is great, simple and make it a very personal item. I highly recommend the Venu 3. For me it is a great mid level Garmin Not to large on my wrist very comfortable. Even for someone new to a smart watch I think very worth the upgrade over the entry level products. In the long run this will save you time and money because you won’t out grow its capabilities

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.

My Garmin Vivoqctive HR finally died and Garmin was nice to provide a discount on my next watch but only certain models. I did the research and found the venu 3 to be the best choice for the price. I did see that only the high end Garmin Golf watches used all satellites available where the Venu3 doesn't which was disappointing. Once on the golf course I found it to be a 10-12 yard difference between the Venu3 yardage and the laser range finder and I compared it to other devices some of my playing parters had so it confirmed to be inaccurate. I now regret my purchase since while I wouldn't have purchased the top end Garmin golf watch which is out of my price range but I prob would have chosen a competitor device since accuracy in golf should be garmins top priority.

I am a longtime Garmin user having different models from top end to vivo's. I love the design & how its feel on the hand, great big screen compare to the top end which are heavy & bulky. You added almost all the features most appreciated. The Watch face must have more options like adding the date, temp....

I've had the Fenix, Epix and now the Venu3. What I love about the Venu is the simplicity of the screens. The great image it has and the variety of apps. Easy to use and really customizable with the Garmin connect app. What I wish it was a little dressier. The watch looks and feels a little plasticky despite the metal bezel. Which allows for an EEG which I really like. I'd pay slightly more for this watch if it looked nicer. Also I'd like the side buttons to be a little more substantial, not plastic. The bottom button is not as responsive as it should be. Overall it's know my go to Garmin watch as it has a nice small profile vs. the Epic and Fenix

The watch works awesome, love the features. If your looking for a watch to monitor your workouts, use on the golf course then this is it. The only downfall is that you can not text from the watch using iMessage, you have to use garmin messenger which isn’t ideal. Phone numbers have to be downloaded the the watch, it doesn’t use your iPhone phone book.

Great looking and comfortable. Health apps give lots of info on what is happening with your body. But, I wonder about the sleep app and the body battery. It tells me I took a nap when I’m not and I didn’t when I did. Plus I don’t like the workout app for the gym. It wants too much input while working out. It is a very complicated watch but I’m getting better understanding the functions as time goes on.

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 got this watch for xmas and I am very happy with it. I like the different apps that can be added and mostly the fact that I can use GPS without having to buy data from a wireless mobile provider. I am still learning about the watch and look forward to take full advantage of every feature.

The Venu 3 was a birthday gift from my son. I have been using Fitbit Flex for years but because this birthday I turned 67 he wanted to give me a closer look at my health. Learning all of the features has been a bit of a challenge. The Venu 3 is larger than what I have been using which is another change. So far it’s good, check back in a few months.
