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...

I upgraded to the Venu watch from a Vivo active 3 and love it! It tracks everything I need and the battery last quite a while as well. I can usually get 3 to 4 days out of it up hunting before needing to charge it. Definitely probably recommend this for beginner or intermediate runners. Has a ton of choices to pick from for activities to track. Very satisfied with this purchase as I have had it for around a year now.

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 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....

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.

I have had my Garmin Venu 3 for a few weeks now and have really enjoyed it. It is my first smart watch, so I can't compare it with other smart watches, only against going without a smart watch. I love getting my phone notifications on my wrist. It is also nice to be get notifications without disturbing those around me. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the sleep tracking feature. I knew I needed to get more sleep, but now I can't deny it... I know the facts. I'm not a very active person, so I can't speak to all of the activity tracking features, though there seems to be a bunch of activities it is setup to track. The battery life is also awesome. The one time I take it off is when I shower and if I plug it in for that short time every few days the watch stays fully charged. I did update the band, as the rubber version that it comes with makes my wrist sweat. But that is a common band for this type of watch and it was easy and cheap to find an alternative specific to this watch.

My husband bought me the Venu 3 for Christmas and man did he hit the nail on the head! For 15yrs I've been APPLE EVERYTHING, and even thought I do love the Apple Watch, it just doesn't compare to the Venu 3, especially w/ battery time! If you're on the fence about getting this watch, take the leap and get it, you'll love it

This is my first Garmin watch. I am a huge fan of it overall. I even bought another one for my mother last Mother’s Day. Charging once per week is awesome. 1) customizable watch face 2) customizable middle button functionality 3) customizable strength workouts. This has been a game changer for my fitness, “gamifying” my target heart rates for longer and longer intervals. suggestions to Garmin: 1) super minor, if you’re not wearing the watch, and an alarm triggers, the watch will continue buzzing and beeping, draining battery life 2) rep counting in the strength app is about 70-90% accurate depending on how consistently “jerky” a lift is. For example, deadlifts are almost 100% accurate. But, compound exercises like clean & jerk are very inconsistent. 3) I wish watch could help me target a cardio heat rate. Perhaps once per minute , it could buzz once/twice to say “go faster!” Or “you should slow down!” Overall, awesome product I recommend with beautiful display. Great for anyone looking to improve their fitness

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.

Combine the smarts of an Apple Watch with the good looks of a Breitling or fine swiss timepiece and you have the Venu 3. There are terrific watch faces that make you look like you paid $10K for what's on your wrist. Then add accuracy and easy, and you're all set. I couldn't be happier.
