Connection issues

In the beginning I loved it. It did everything I needed and wanted it to do and then some. In the last few months it won't stay connected to my phone. When it disconnects I have to fight with it to reconnect.

Great features!

Love all the features. The quick scroll. This is the first watch I've had that I'm able to answer phone calls from even when my phone is not in the same room. My husband says the sound on the receiving side is pretty good too!

Every day it's trying to do an update. I have hard reset it 3 times. Followed all the troubleshooting instructions and it still does it. It doesn't record my steps, also doesn't sync to my iPhone all the time.

Workout tracking

I bought this a month ago and I’m extremely disappointed.. I got it to measure sleep and heart rate and the sensor on this one may be faulty.. constantly saying my heart rate is 100+ and only getting 3 hours of sleep (so I recorded myself for a whole week and got 7 hours of sleep.. while the garmin said 3.5 hours… or wouldn’t even measure sleep) I should’ve gotten the venu 4 but will probably never get a garmin again after this experience.

Great health tracking

I got this watch about a month ago and I am loving all the features! I got this watch primarily for tracking my sleep score, steps and daily activity but it has much more capability. If you take the time to setup, you can customize features that provide useful health information. The watch faces are excellent. By linking to my phone, I can get notifications when I am away from my phone. I highly recommend the Venu 3

Everything you need at a glace

This one tracks everything! I find the aleep data especially important. It has a variety of free watch faces that can display all your metrics and it syncs perfectly with my iPhone. I love Garmins, I am a loyal Forerunner customer for years now but I do love the added features of the Venu!

Good watch

I have very much enjoyed the Venu 3. It appears reasonably accurate calculating steps outside. It has all of the Smart functions I would want. On the con side, The treadmill function could be more accurate, but is correctable. It does question all the other distances you may walk inside. I wish the flash light feature was better. The integration with an iPhone for phone calls and messages is iffy. Overall, I would purchase it again - or upgrade to the Venu 4.

Exchange/upgrade?

Poorest model, being my fourth Garmin watch; it doesn't allow me to answer phone calls and isn't monitoring my sleep correctly (having been very pleased with my prior Instinct Solar). I've had the Venu 3 for just less than three months; can it be exchanged/pay for upgrade to the Venu 4, please?

Great features

I purchased my Venu 3 shortly after it became available. It replaced my Vivoactive 4. I was most interested in the ECG App. My biggest disappointment is the "raised" face that scratches very easily. Within a few months of purchase the face looked very bad.

Excellent fitness watch

I've had this almost a month now (replacing my Venu 2). I absolutely love it. Bright display, multiple features and increased number of workout trackers, and great battery life. Well worth what I spent. (And my wife has been thrilled with hers too.)
