Great mix of smart and sport features like most all of Garmin’s wearables it is bit more sport focused then a regular smart watch but more smart watch then others. I would recommend for anyone who wants a smart watch with great battery life but not on the extreme or expensive end of sport watches.

I purchased the watch about 3 weeks ago and I'm very pleased with it. It performs well for running and listening to music and has great battery life. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sleep score and sleep coach and other health related monitoring.

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.

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.

This Venu 3 watch replaced a Fitbit watch with a lot less features. I needed to replace my Fitbit and hearing from a lot of friends NOT recommending an Apple watch as they have to charge daily. That was a non-starter for me because the sleep quality feature is one my favorite apps. Expertvoice had a great deal on a Venu 3 so I gave it a try. Very good feature laden watch. Battery looks like it will last over 5 days, probably longer as I just got the watch. It has a lot of apps and features so give yourself time to learn them all if you're new to Garmin watches. I have Garmin bike computers but the Garmin watch ecosystem is a whole new level. It has a great screen and can easily replace my bike computers. I am very happy with my purchase. Especially the prices in Expertvoice.

I have had several different Garmin watches for years and the improvements and upgrades just keep getting better! I love the ease of getting to my activities and widgets. It is intuitive. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a smartwatch that helps you achieve your health goals.

So much better than the traditional Garmin screens. It is also strong enough to be viewed in direct sunlight and still retains good battery life. All the built in sport tracking actions makes it easy to use and you can further customize each experience. Overall would highly recommend for those who would like to keep stats of their activities

I've had this watch for about two weeks. I had the Venue previously. The upgrades make the watch more user friendly. I exercise 4-5 times a week and the activity features are second to none. I can also answer the phone with the watch which is very helpful!! Love it!!

My niece purchased the Fenix solar watch and my sister bought the Venu 3. I waited a few months to justify swapping my Samsung Galaxy Watch because it was working fine - other than the terrible battery life. I also did like the solar feature of some Garmin watches, but with my recent diagnosis of skin cancer, I figured it best to not spend more time out in the Florida sun and risk that issue! So, the Venu 3 was my choice. I am so glad that I bought the Venu 3! This watch has a larger face and therefore, a larger battery and longer battery life. I am on an insulin pump with closed-loop system to my Dexcom Glucose monitor. I want to see my glucose reading on my watch so that I am not constantly looking for my phone every 30 minutes or hour. The watch has limited faces and add-ons for glucose readings, which is sad. But, for the ones I can use, such as the IQ Store Face It feature, the watch is perfect for me! I can change the watch face to display my steps, stress level, glucose reading, battery level, and even display my company logo that I created! It makes the personalization of my Venu 3 more fun. While these features that I prefer are nowhere near the amount of apps, widgets, and other features available, these are the ones most important to me in my life. I believe that anyone can find the perfect watch face using Face It or the many other options from the IQ Store! I did change the watch band to one that tucks into itself. I find the watch lightweight and sleep with it every night. I do charge the watch while I get ready every morning, but honestly would not need to keep charging the battery because it drains about 10-12 percent in a day. The reason for this drain is the CGM glucose reading that is constantly running in the background. I still think this is MUCH better than my Samsung Galaxy watch that would leave me with about 30% battery life by the time bedtime rolls around, so I could not even wear that thing to sleep. The Venu 3 is GREAT!
