I received the watch as a Christmas gift, so I've had it for almost a month and I really love it. I've had Garmin watches before (vivofit3, VenuSq), but it has great new features, such as a Sleep Coach and Sleep Score, and provides am overview each morning along with a daily breakdown of your activity levels and stress each night. This is in addition to heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, hydration tracker, cycle tracker for women, and even meditation activities. Highly recommend this watch if you want to monitor your health and activity levels.

I was ready to upgrade my original Venu which was Garmin's 1st wearable with an AMOLED display. I absolutely love the new Venu 3! With the larger AMOLED display, easy to navigate menu, upgraded features/activities, speaker/mic, long battery life make this a fantastic product!!!! I would highly recommend!!!

I really love this Garmin Venu 3. Screen size is just right and very responsive to touch and the screen brightness is super. I've turned down the brightness to 30% and it is still very bright. I'm enjoying the battery life. 10 + days on a single charge given its screen brightness and feature set is impressive especially coming from two major phone giants where you may get a day or maybe slightly more. The build is great and solid. I have placed a screen protector on and will add a soft bumper on occasion that warrants it. It is also very stylish. Functionality has been top notch. It's very accurate and allows for monitoring of my heart as I have a-Fib. It can do EKG, oxygen readings, sleep monitoring, Heart rate variability, has a body battery and stress levels. Overall I made the move because I feel it really is focused on fitness. And of all other smartwatches, for me, I have enjoyed the accompanied phone app that gives me a readout which is concise and informative. Much more so than others I've used before. This is an impressive smart watch. I thought it a bit expensive but after using it has been well worth it. I highly recommend it.

I love Venu 3, it is pack with great features and very light weight, very suitable for daily wear. The skin temperature change seems to reflect my daily wellness . I wish the training readiness is also added later on. For now, I have to wear my Tactix 7 one day per week to get my training readiness.

I upgraded from my Apple Watch to the Garmin and love it! I do miss some of the smart features from the apple such as the maps capability, but am overall impressed with the Garmin. It has lots of settings, the battery lasts about 2 weeks, and it has a sleep tracker.

I upgraded from a Venu 2. Particularly loving the HRV insights (especially as I'm already improving them) but many new and improved features and made the upgrade worthwhile for me. However I'm very disappointed that this watch doesn't show Running Dynamics when paired with an HR Pro Plus chest strap. Time for Garmin to simplify the product/feature matrix and deliver features on all watches that can support them, not segment the product line up as they currently do. It's confusing and frustrating. And I don't think it's good for business.

I've had it for over a month, and it is by far the best fitness watch I've owned. I'm very happy with the range of data it provides, including the ECG feature, sleep data, and stress monitoring. It provides the perfect balance between cost and features.

With that being said, Almost everyone has a snatch watch and I’ve done my fair share of research and I knew I’d get my bank for my buck when I bought the Venu 3. From the feature to the look it’s exactly what I needed. It’s convent and efficient and the interface is amazing. Honestly I wish I would’ve waited because the Venu X1 came out a month later! And I already love that one as well. Job well done Garmin. Job well done. The ONLY Cons are, there is no interface or software enabling texting, I’m sure IPhone charges to enable IOS crossover but even so I can still get all the notifications and information I need from all apps with their icon, and the Bluetooth range could be a little longer. That’s it. But my phone is with me all the time when I need it to be… so I just pull my phone out when I need to text or view anything anyways!

I love all the features available on the watch. It’s my first Garmin watch as I previously used Polar and Apple Watch to track my activities. Both watches allowed me to see messages and pause activities. The Garmin watch allows me to see my text message at the expense that I have to disable privacy settings. Hopefully this can be fixed in the future.

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.
