My last watch was a vivio active 4 and certain basic things works better. I don’t like how I have to re pair my headphones every time I want to use my watch. The first week I used my new venu it got a week of battery life the next time I charged it I only got 3-4 days and I used the watch less.

I switched to Garmin and I'm so very pleased. I get everything I need and more from my Garmin Venu 3. It's kept me on my game. This watch is very easy to use and I couldn't be happier with my choice! I would recommend to anyone who is starting a new life journey!

I’ve been using my Garmin Venu 3 for a while now, and honestly, I’ve been loving it so far. It’s been a fantastic upgrade from my previous fitness trackers, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite gadgets. Design & Comfort: First off, the watch looks sleek and feels comfortable on my wrist. It’s lightweight, fits well, and the screen is bright and crisp, even outdoors in sunlight. The AMOLED display is a huge improvement over older models I’ve owned. Fitness & Health Tracking: The health features are outstanding. Heart rate monitoring feels accurate, and I like how the watch keeps track of my sleep, stress levels, and Body Battery. The hourly movement reminders help keep me active, but they’re not annoying. I used to be really into Fitbit challenges, and while Garmin does things differently, I’m enjoying the Garmin Connect community and challenges so far. Smart Features: Notifications come through seamlessly, and I love being able to see texts, calls, and app alerts right on my wrist. I’m especially impressed that I don’t have to manually select each app to receive notifications like I did with my older devices. Battery Life: Battery life has been solid, lasting several days on a single charge, depending on how much I use GPS and the screen. The only thing that’s been a bit tricky for me is the charging cable connection—it sometimes takes a moment to click into place. But it’s a small issue overall. Music & Apps: Spotify works great on the watch, and the ability to download music directly has been awesome, especially for workouts. I did notice that Garmin doesn’t support Pandora, which I used to use, but Spotify covers most of my needs. Final Thoughts: Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin Venu 3. It’s stylish, functional, and has all the features I want for health, fitness, and smart connectivity. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded smartwatch that goes beyond simple step counting.

I bought this to replace my Fitbit Sense which died. I loved that Sense, but this Garmin is proving to be a good alternative. It gives me lots of information, and I do not have to buy a subscription--I refuse to buy a watch that won't give me info without a subscription. I am still learning all its features. I've discovered all the watch faces I can download. I love design and color--- I wouldn't buy a watch without it.

Great looking and comfortable. Health apps give lots of info on what is happening with your body. But, I wonder about the sleep app and the body battery. It tells me I took a nap when I’m not and I didn’t when I did. Plus I don’t like the workout app for the gym. It wants too much input while working out. It is a very complicated watch but I’m getting better understanding the functions as time goes on.

I bought the Venu 3 about 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely impressed with the features and performance of the watch. I am a watch person and previously used the Samsung Galaxy watches. This is no longer the case Garmin Venu 3 is my go to watch. I even bought the Venu Sq2. Great battery life and watch overall.

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.

Primarily purchased this for heart rate feature. Also purchased the HRM Pro Plus Strap as I wanted the best accuracy during exercise and ability to sync the watch with a strap was important. So far, one or both are a bit below my expectations as at times there are discrepancies between the strap and the watch. High/Low Heart Rate Alerts don't seem to work. In walking, the accuracy of the steps/miles is way off showing under 4 miles when I have walked 5. Have tried to adjust stride length but apparently has no effect. Strap easily syncs with stationary bike at the gym but watch app does not show distance or speed for this activity. I did download a watch face from the IQ app as the stock watch faces all have small icons/font size for heart rate and hard to see at a quick glance. Watch itself is a bit large, 43 mm would likely be a better size. Have reached out to Support a few times with questions and they have been helpful.

llevo un mes con el venu 3 y solo tengo elogios para el, sobre todo y para mi lo mas importante, la duración de la batera, me viene durando unos 10 días, supercompleto y con muchísimas aplicaciones. y lo mas importante, es garmin. calidad 100 % asegurada

I've had the original Venu for a few years and the OLED display is half faded-out. I liked that one so much that I stuck with it in the Venu 3. There are some nice upgrades and the screen is much better (yes, even before the fading). The main thing that kept me from getting a Fenix that was on sale is the ECG app - my Doc even recommended it for me and I got it with FSA $'s. I was given the Approach S62 for my golf habit, but if I forget that one the golf app in the Venu does just fine.
