I’ve had this watch for a while. Great fitness tracking and overall battery performance. The problem is I wish I could flip the display. I keep accidentally pressing the buttons and if I could flip the display this wouldn’t happen. I also wish you could answer text messages on the watch but sadly there is no way to do that with this watch.

I bought this to work with my Android phone and I bought an Apple Watch for my wife to work with her I-phone. She has to recharge her phone daily, and I only need to charge after a week or two even though I tend to do it once per day. It's nice to know I don't have to recharge it daily. My wife and I are still comparing our applications and their performance. I like to use a stationary cycle, but the app doesn't allow me to input the calories burned based on the computer output from my cycle. Maybe I need to learn more about the applications and I will find a way to record stationary cycle activities better. We both like our sleep apps, but the Garmin provides more information than the Apple watch. OK, my Garmin will not receive calls without my phone Bluetoothed to it and her Apple watch doesn't require her phone to be nearby, but I don't pay an additional monthly fee to my service provider for the Garmin. I wanted her to have phone access because she does HIIT in our neighborhood and doesn't need to be carrying her phone at these times. Men have pockets, so carrying my phone is not an issue. I like the many choices of watch faces! I like the fact you can create your own even though I use one that's provided on the Garmin IQ. I could go on but this is all the time I have for the review today.

I upgraded to a newer watch last month. I had one of the original Venu. This one has so many extra features. It has a long battery life between 8-9 days with the pulse ox and other features turned on. There are a lot of free screen faces to choose from. Very comfortable and easy to read. I chose the larger face and it still looks good on a female wrist.

Garmin needs to fix the bluetooth connectivity. The watch loses connectivity with my Android phone several times a day. When you go to connect to download your sleep data from the night before, you have to restart bluetooth manually. There are many things I like about this watch. Charge lasts about a week. Watch looks nice. Band is comfortable. Lots of faces downloadable and customizable thru Connect IQ.

So far, I am very satisfied with my Venu3. Very responsive, the battery life is excellent. I didn't like the band, and I think I'll change it. My Samsung band had a magnetic opening mechanism that is much better. It would be great if the Garmin watch could sync with Google Fit.

I upgraded to the Venu 3 because I could check ECG to assure AFIB hadn't returned. I am 74. I was amazed at all the features and really like the Open Water Swim feature that wasn't available on my previous model. The sleep tracking is excellent. Unfortunately, I lost it on a boating excursion during a windy rainstorm somewhere into the lake while struggling to control the boat during docking. It could have been out in the 30' area or near our dock. Couldn't find it despite the crystal clear water. So I bought another one. After 2 months of being in the water, my son found it under the dock in about 5' of water. Cleaned it off, put the charger on and it lit right up and immediately had the correct time. It is working like new. I now have one for "work" and one for "dress" use!

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.

What a marked improvement from my Fitbit Versa. So many more features, and more importantly the features work - accurate HR, I can read my HR while lap swimming, runnig, doing weights. All of these were spotty at best with that Versa. Happy with this purchase.

I love this watch, but was disappointed that the golf app is not the same as with the my Fenix 7x Solar. It shows only the green (and not the fairway/entire hole too) so you can't touch the screen to figure out carries to/over hazards like on the Fenix. Odd.

It's a beautiful ⌚️ watch but I am having some problems with it and it's probably me. I upgraded from a FitBit Versa 2. It's really important to read the instructions, if not you can get lost and that's where I am now. I've looked up several videos on YouTube but they talk very fast. I need to educate myself more.
