The voice conversation switches to the watch speaker automatically If the lock is on, calls cannot be answered via the watch The dial cannot be silenced by the watch, only the dial can be hung up When you take off the watch, notifications arrive on the watch, not like other watches, only when you wear the watch

The watch has more health and fitness features than Apple Watch. Body Battery, Stress, Sleep Coach (+Naps) and Morning Reports are superb! Have to spend quite a lot of time customizing watch face, use a ConnectIQ paid options but customization process I the app is very complex and long. It would be nice to change all settings on watch itself in live mode like on Fenix 8 built in faces. That's minus one star. Second flaw is bugs. The interface is slow overall, but it also can hang or the screen can go black but buttons are working, sound presents. There are usability bugs like when start a nap, DND isn't turning On by default - one problem, second - if you get a notification in Nap mode, you cannot do anything with it, it just sticks on the screen, and if you get ten messages they will just stack and the watch is buzzing which kills the Nap mood. I think they'll fix those bugs after a while but the watch is there for a year already which is strange.

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 wanted a do-it-all watch to that could function like my Fitbit Charge 5 as well as my Garmin Approach S42. The smartwatch functionality is great for my needs and I didn't want an Apple/Pixel watch that I had to charge every day. The quoted 14 day battery life is probably a bit optimistic, but if I could get a week as I do with my Fitbit, I'd be happy. This is probably 10 days and that's enough for me. It provides much more info than the Fitbit does with no subscription required, and the golf functionality is as good as the S42 (minus having to download courses). Overall I'm extremely happy with this watch.

I e had the V3 for a few months now and I’m quite satisfied. There are still plenty of bugs that need to be sorted. Custom Workouts interface needs improving. You can’t edit reps or weight in the watch while doing the actual workout. It just moves forward to the next exercise. Overall I would recommend this watch for the niche group it is designed fo.

The band that it comes with is small for my wrist and had to upgrade already. But it does stay charged longer then the other brands still learning the watch but basically a no frills watch so far. Issue is that I have an iPhone and do not get any messages through it but sometimes can get a call. Same price as an Apple Watch but battery last longer

I received the watch as a Christmas gift, so I've had it for almost a month and I really love it. I've had Garmin watches before (vivofit3, VenuSq), but it has great new features, such as a Sleep Coach and Sleep Score, and provides am overview each morning along with a daily breakdown of your activity levels and stress each night. This is in addition to heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, hydration tracker, cycle tracker for women, and even meditation activities. Highly recommend this watch if you want to monitor your health and activity levels.

I’ve had my watch for just over 3 weeks and love everything about it except the sleep functions. No matter what times I enter in the sleep schedule it insist on going into sleep mode all night while I’m work. I turn it off and sleep mode will just turn back on. I sleep 7-8 hours during the day and it won’t pick it up or give me a sleep score data. It just shows no data for my day sleeping hours. Very disappointed.

Spent a good deal of time searching, reading reviews and watching videos. Ultimately the battery life won me over. I'm over 70 and thought the Venu 3 might help motivate me to keep moving, running is out of the question with a bum knee however I'm walking more now that I have the watch to keep me aware of my daily totals.

Frankly, I wanted a Samsung, but the battery life was an issue. 1 or 2 days just wouldn't work. And now I know I made the right choice. I'm still learning the features and how to use the 2 apps for it. The address book is a little clunky, but functional. My old Samsung just used the phone's list while the Garmin needs to import up to 50. I've added a data watch face that has about 10 different fields and colors galour. Love that. It's a pricey watch, but it does everything I've wanted so far.
