As a former Apple Watch lover, I’m absolutely loving the features of the Garmin Venu 3. Especially the battery life. I can easily go 3 to 4 days and then charge for 10 to 15 minutes and good to go for another 3 to 4 days. I could barely get a full day charge with my Apple Watch. I also love the details on walking trails and the health stats the watch supplies!! I would have given a 5, but felt the learning curve was a little slow for me, but overall I love the watch!!

I’d been using Apple watches for years but I recently purchased the Garmin Venu 3 and I love it. The fact that I don’t have to charge every 3-4 days is awesome. Garmin is really stepping up in term of smart watches and in my opinion, they should be one of the best smart watch producers out there instead of Apple; that one is just for the brand.

Biggest value I get from this watch is that wearing it continuously (while sleeping, at work, working out) outputs super helpful health metrics. Had some revelations about why I always feel so tired and it helped me prioritize sleep. Also being aware of when I get stressed at work and taking steps to decompress has been helpful.

I've had many Garmin watches and recently tried a Samsung and their hardware/software did not compare. The Venu 3 is accurate for steps, stairs and oxygen sats (compared with hospital oximeter). Expect it will work well with my bike sensors but have not tried yet. BUT, I wear it gently, never when doing anything manual yet the face has 3 scratches already. Per the Garmin website I have not tried anything aside from a microfiber cloth but still they are there. Not sure if I received a defective device or they all have this problem. Aside from this it is a great watch but regretting my decision now.

The watch does everything well. However, when trying to listen to Amazon Music while running, the music slows down to half speed and breaks up. Unacceptable. I would not recommend this watch to anyone who wants to listen to music while using the running app on the watch.

The first months of using this watch was wonderful. Then all the sudden i was getting connection failed and shortly connection established. This has been going on for several weeks with no apparent reason since many of the time connection is lost the phone is right beside the watch. Now the phone and watch will not pair at all. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GARMIN.

I love this watch! I work in EMS working 24 hour shifts. This watch is durable and perfect for battery life so I don’t have to take my watch off mid shift to charge it. The battery can last me up to a week before I have to charge it. The fitness/running features in this are top notch. The sleep analysis features have helped me to learn my sleeping patterns and how to improve my sleep. This watch is completely customizable.

Originally bought a Samsung. Big mistake. It does not monitor/record pulse rates anywhere near what they are. The Venu 3 records pulse rates properly, which accordingly calculates calories burned more accurately. The mapping of my walks/runs is amazing in its accuracy. And the ~week-long battery life is wonderful. I love this watch!!

I've had my Garmin watch for about a month now and still haven't reviewed all of the features nor explored the vast number of apps that are available. Navigating through the menu is pretty intuitive as well. I wish that it came with screen protectors. I not found one that fits my watch properly yet.

Bought as an alternative to an Apple Watch and have been happy with it. I find it more intuitive and it blends in with the Garmin ecosystem well. I have an edge device for cycling and the combination is better for me than the Apple device. Battery life is excellent.
