Excellent quality. Replacing my Venu 2 Pro. Love the display. Battery life is much better than my old Venu 2. Biggest problem is that Garmin Pay is no longer compatible with either of my banks. It was a great feature on the watch as a contactless payment method. Probably will be moving away from Garmin if they continue to not support my banking in the future.

I wore out my first Garmin so I reached out to them for a suggestion on a replacement. I got the most helpful rep who made suggestions based on my need. I bought the Venu 3 and I couldn’t be happier. It is an amazing watch with TONS of features. Unlike the Apple Watches I read about, the Venu battery lasts for weeks before a charge is needed. I couldn’t recommend this watch more.

So far, I am very satisfied with my Venu3. Very responsive, the battery life is excellent. I didn't like the band, and I think I'll change it. My Samsung band had a magnetic opening mechanism that is much better. It would be great if the Garmin watch could sync with Google Fit.

My son gave me the Venu3 for my birthday. He has one. It was quite enlightening to learn all of the data it records. Heart rate, blood oxygen level, ECG, HRV status all quite remarkable from a watch! Body battery and sleep scores are also helpful. Now I know why I am so tired sometimes—terrible sleep score the night before! Step counter is also helpful to se just how much walking I do on a regular day, not to mention exercise. It has exercise app for everything. The flashlight is shockingly useful. Many more activities and apps. Lovin it!

My husband bought me this watch for Christmas and I love it. Display is bright and love the touchscreen. I like my Instinct Solar due to the long battery life but like the style of the Venu. The battery life of the Venu is great as well. My Apple watch was not providing long battery life for a marathon.

The Garmin Venu 3 was easy to set up and integrate with apps. Its light and comfortable for all day wear and does a great job of tracking runs. The Venu 3 can also work with fun apps for golf and other sports. The watch is great for beginners who are looking to get started with running and monitoring workouts and for experienced runners that need the basics without too many bells and whistles.

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.

Every time I buy a new Garmin smart watch I’m delighted and amazed. I loved the always on color display of my Forerunner. Than it was amazed at a solar smart watch when I bought my retro cool Instinct. Now with Venu 3 I’m impressed with on board phone calls and a speaker to listen to music from my watch itself. Another amazing watch! Thank you Garmin!

I really wanted to love this watch. I upgraded from a perfectly functional original Venu, and had the Vivoactive before that. I love the new (to me) user interface and enhanced sleep features. The key features I was looking forward to on the Venu 3 were 1) upgraded HR sensor and ECG capability and 2) Voice Assistant to dictate texts and the ability to make and answer phone calls. I wasn't worried that the ECG capability wasn't enabled at launch, although I would have hoped that Garmin would have planned to have the FDA approval in place prior to launch. The Voice Assistant and ability to use the built in mic and speaker to make phone calls and listen to or dictate texts has been a major disappointment. I couldn't get the Voice Assistant to connect to my phone when I was setting up the Venu 3, even though other notifications were successfully being sent to the watch. I contacted Garmin Support and was sent a replacement. I was able to get the replacement Venu 3's Voice Assistant to connect to my phone and work, but other major problems still remain. The watch disconnects from the phone if I get more than 10'-15' away (line of sight) or go into another room. My previous Venu had greater range. I also have a great deal of connectivity issues with the Voice Assistant when riding my bicycle. I'm guessing that the fact that my phone connects to my bike computer (head unit) is causing a problem, but being able to reply to texts or calls while riding was one of my primary use cases. The final problem is that while I can initiate or answer phone calls on the watch, after a few seconds, the audio on the watch stops and reverts back to the phone itself. I have to hurry to get the phone out of my pocket and talk to the caller before they think I've hung up and hang up themselves. These features feel like they're still in beta and weren't ready for release. The fact that the voice features were working on the Venu 2 Plus makes the problem even more aggravating. For the amount of money I paid for this watch, I didn't expect to be a beta tester. At this point, I'm hoping for a firmware update to address the Bluetooth connectivity issues which seem to be at the core of the problems I'm experiencing.

I bought through Garmin directly. I had a forerunner 45 and I was happy with it. I wanted to upgrade with sleeping app and it wet on sale and bought it. It has a larger face, better band and a few more tools, I may never use. It's been about a month and no issues.
