Got the Venu 3 a few weeks ago, then was hearing things about the vivoactive 6. Returned the venu 3 to get the vivoactive 6 since it was cheaper and they had very similar features, and did not like it. The battery on the vivoactive 6 wouldn’t last a full day and some of the features were missing on the actual watch. Ended up returning that and getting the venu 3 again, I love it so much literally has everything you need in a watch when it comes to everyday wear plus fitness & health tracking and battery life is amazing compared to my Apple watch. I have a small wrist but chose the venu 3 instead of 3s, it fits perfectly and I love the bigger watch face.

The Venue 3nis the perfect compliment to my Edge 1040 Solar. Tracks off bike activities and wellness. Got it to assist with altitude acclimation tracking as well as HRV. Great size and I like that it accepts different style bands. Would recommend if this is the niche you're looking to fill.

This is a good daily tracker. Unlike higher end models, this watch lacks certain fitness metrics. I would recommend this watch for someone who casual fitness enthusiast. Screen quality is GREAT. Operating system is smooth and fluid. Unfortunately it cannot give cycling V02 metrics which despite its ability to pair with power meters.

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’ve had my Garmin venue three for a couple months now. Still learning the ins and outs of its operation. Trying to set up a custom workout is frustrating. Not finding any of the specific exercises that I’m looking for. Subsequently what I’m doing is not on sync with what the watch thinks I’m doing. Still working on a custom watch face. Just not finding the items I’m looking for. Overall I am really enjoying this new watch. Coming from the vevo, active three it is quite an upgrade!

Been waiting for this upgrade for a while and it was definitely worth it. I'm a cyclist and this device compliments my Garmin head unit perfectly. The features are plentiful and the combo is great for even the most avid cyclist. I am particularly impressed with the display quality and the variety of watch faces available on Garmin Connect IQ Store. HRV and ECG are welcome introductions and the operating system is thankfully more intuitive than previous versions. As expected, Garmin Pay works faultlessly with my MasterCard for contactless payments. Voice Assistant is a handy addition, and when used with Google Home, works intelligently with my smart home devices for automation procedures. The watch is lightweight, has a massively improved battery life, and a wealth of new intelligent features (Glances). Garmin Connect is polished and integrates well with third party apps/services. All round, a great buy and I'm impressed with this generation of the Venu.

Had some reservations about the price of this watch but it's worth it. Better features than anything else I have had. I don't really like trying to use this for talking on the phone over my phone. I just think it looks stupid when people do it in the wild. Notifications are pretty good and are pretty customizable, just like the rest of the watch. I like to fiddle with my tech so if you are an Apple user you might not like the settings that you will have to adjust. The number of watch faces on the beautiful screen is almost endless and if course if you want to customize them it is available. This one match does more for tracking than ANY OTHER WATCH. Full stop. If you are serious about exercise and keeping yourself healthy and want to know how you are doing in the most detailed way, throw away those other watches - it's not even close. One thing Garmin - please provide a better strap, the type that come with the iWatch or higher level Fitbit. Small upgrade that is cheap, I bought a replacement...

As a kid I used to dream of a fancy aviator style watch... but could not afford what I wanted. Decades later the Venu 3 is all that & much more: - good accuracy for many of the measurement metrics - an impressive array of exercise tracking choices - long battery life with the right settings - many interesting watch face choices - a great way to compare my health/exercise profile with other men my age The main reason I got it was sleep tracking, and it has indeed prodded me to get more sleep.

I got this a couple weeks ago. Didn't need it as my old watch still worked, but my wife likes her Garmin so I started looking. Very confused in figuring out which model I wanted. I think the Venue 3 is indeed the which I was looking for. More money than I wanted to spend but very worth it. Takes time to learn navigation but not too difficult. Also paired to Garmin blood pressure monitor. That took a minute but works fantastic. Got an aftermarket band that I love and fits perfect.

I have an Apple Watch with cellular but I always have my cell with me. The batteries don’t last. That why a switch to Garmin I have the choice to receive and make call and check my mail. I can also track very accurately my exercise regimen. Very satisfied with my purchase
