This is actually my second Venu3. A replacement for the one I lost overboard on my boat. I was tossing a cast net, it snagged the watch ripped the strap and off it flew. I stopped on the way home to buy a new one! I have been wearing a Garmin it seems like forever. This is now my third over the years. I love the data and feedback. Paired with Garmin app on my phone it provides a great data stream of exercise results, daily activity and health data. I cycle, swim, walk, and golf. It is great at tracking my needs and data for all those activities and far more. Personally I can never imagine wearing a watch that just tells time. Honestly the Garmin watch has been transformative. It is great as a motivational tool to keep me going. The functions the Venu offers are all I need to keep very accurate track of my activity. The ability to customize the watch to user activities is great, simple and make it a very personal item. I highly recommend the Venu 3. For me it is a great mid level Garmin Not to large on my wrist very comfortable. Even for someone new to a smart watch I think very worth the upgrade over the entry level products. In the long run this will save you time and money because you won’t out grow its capabilities

Happy to be back with a long-battery life garmin watch, but in terms of features outside of battery life it is not better than Fitbit's sense/versa offerings. Previously with fitbit, I had a better-than-average waking experience with the smart wake feature. For some reason Garmin doesn't include this, despite tracking all of the body data that would make it possible. Third party apps support the functionality somewhat, but at the cost of overnight body data tracking which in turn removes a lot of the body battery / etc feedback on the watch. It is frankly embarassing that Garmin hasn't implemented this feature in 2023. If you're a busy person that doesn't always have a consistent bedtime then you'll need to find another alarm solution to make up for Garmin's feature oversight. Currently wearing my older fitbit to bed to make up for this.

Easy to set up, seems accurate counting steps, sleep etc Only thing I'm having issues with is the assistant. It's unusable as it only works if your phone is open and then you might as well use the phone. I wanted something that I could easily use to leave myself a reminder while exercising.

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.

I received this watch for Christmas and have loved it since day 1. I previously had a Garmin Instinct 2 for years, so getting used to the buttons and touch screen is still a work in progress. But the look, functionality, and battery life are great with this watch. The watch has a plethora of workouts, and the watch face is customizable. This watch rivals the Samsung and Apple watches, and I think the battery life puts it above the others and the cost isn't outrageous. I love Garmin watches!

I've had a different brand of smart watch for years, but I haven't been happy with it lately. I decided to try the Garmin Venu 3 after reading many reviews. I have been SOOOO happy with my switch! I love that the Venu 3 focuses on my overall health/wellbeing and not just meeting certain daily goals. The battery life is AMAZING, I can actually track my sleep with this watch instead of having to charge it nightly. It is user friendly- It didn't take me long at all to figure out how to work it and set it up. I love that I can track my water intake with it as well! I am so glad I changed to the Venu 3. The few things that this watch doesn't have that my other one did, I don't miss as much as I thought I would. I love it!

I bought the Venu 3 a couple of weeks ago, replacing by old but still nicely functioning Fenix 5. I’m enjoying the touch screen, and the overall functionality of the watch. Battery life seems good, but I’ve only used it in the mode in which the screen stays off until you raise or touch the screen.

Purchased for my new Dr. mandated fitness journey. Somewhat of a gadget geek but never took the leap to smart watch due to poor battery life. I landed on the Venu 3 after a quick google search. I don’t have anything to compare it to but it has exceeded my expectations in the health and fitness areas. Battery life between charging is outstanding.

I've had multiple Garmin watches, probably 7 total, and have loved them all. I got the Venu 3 because of being able to take calls from the watch but I'm most impressed with the clarity and touch screen. I also like the slimmer look for the office over the fenix. My only complaint is the watch band is short, I'm attach it on the 3rd notch from the end. Overall, another great product!

This watch is great. I have a pace maker in my heart, and this watch allows me to track my ecg, pulse, and blood oxygen. It also gives me a sleep score and recommendations. I'm a swimmer, and it will track laps. It does so much more, but the best part is the battery life; I have charged it twice since I got the watch, and the charge lasts a week. It completely syncs to my android phone, unlike some other smart watches.
