Received email 'Thank You for Registering Your Venu 3'. That would be fine, if I didn't register it more than a year ago. So, what Garmin is trying to do now? Yesterday watch stuck up on blue triangle (boot logo). The usual measures like reboot etc.. didn't help. Found that it was not isolated case. Many other customers with five or six models of watches including Venu 3 were affected. So far Garmin didn't suggest good fix except factory reset. But if you update watch after factory reset, it goes to the same issue. Besides, you lose all your setup and practically have to start from the beginning. I would of give one star because Garmin be testing their updates more carefully, but I used the watch for a year and like it.

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.

I've owned the Venu 3 for about a month and I am so pleased with it! As someone who has owned a smartwatch since the beginning of the technology came out, this is by far my favorite one! My biggest complaint with smartwatches is that most companies try to make it something that could one day replace your phone. I believe most owners are like myself and just want something that is a great companion piece to technology we already own. The Venu 3 does just that. The health metrics are fantastic and have helped me make more informed decisions regarding my overall health. The notifications for things like messages and other apps on my phone are subtle and helpful. This is my first foray into the Garmin smartwatch world and I am now a customer for life!

Very much anticipating this smartwatch with a wealth of features for both Health & Fitness, but now also really good Smartwatch-Features (like calling on the watch)! This is by far the best watch I ever had and I can wholeheartedly recommend this watch to every Health, Fitness and Smartwatch aficionado! Sleek design too and long battery! Excellent Watch!

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.

For example it keeps a ton of information on any golf course but I have not yet figured out how to find the distance to a hazard. Also only recently stumbled onto how to change distances from meters to yards. Same for my bike ride there are three screens of information on a ride, but once I saved the ride I could not find screen 2 or three. A very smart watch, but likes to keep secrets.

Ox meter is too inaccurate. I have COPD so I track it often. My finger meter reads 93 to 96, the watch reads 87 to 90. I still can't get it to work with the Garmin Golf app to give yardage on the golf course. Instructions are really bad. Some features are too invasive and cause buzzing at inappropriate times. Some features are poorly explained.

Hi there, thank you for great product. I like garmin venue 3. But i am a little bit disappointed. After two weeks of usage, i found that weather became wrong on watch screen. It shows different values, not what i have on watch. When i did set up of watch, i selected Weather settings to get data from my iPhone. And everything was Ok. But after few weeks you released some upgrade to watch and Connect app. And now i don’t have option is user settings to change weather config. There is no such setting any more. Why? And now my watch shows wrong weather. In setting on watch for weather there is only option to update my location by GPS. But gps does not work properly in Ukraine due to fu*ed russia aggression over Ukriane. Please return weather setting to iPhone Connect app. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.

I bought this to replace a perfectly functioning vivoactive 4. One thing about Garmin watches, they last. You’ll replace it just because you want something new, that is why I purchased the Venu 3. It was definitely an upgrade, the new screen is much brighter and the animations and tracking is better. The main reason for the upgrade was I wanted the option to answer calls and possibly voice respond to a text. The calls feature is great and has nice clarity and no delay. The voice response to texts is a disappointment. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Flip 5. I hate bixby so went to Google Assistant. I gave the watch and phone permission to access while locked, but cannot access the messages app without unlocking the phone. This could possibly work with a bixby, Samsung’s assistant, but its voice recognition is so bad, it’s not worth it. If this function worked as planned, this watch is easily 5 stars. For now it’s 4.5 Long story short, buy this watch, you won’t be disappointed and if not this one, any Garmin, you can’t go wrong.

I bought this about a month ago, I have not regretted it once. I love the animated work out features, multitude of pre-loaded exercises, and customization of the watch face. Only complaint I have and is minor- I have a baby I get up with overnight and sometimes the watch will not log my sleep before I am up with the baby. So my sleep score is awful, and my body battery isn’t accurate. Other than that it’s the perfect watch for my wants and needs.
