I been using this device for some time, day and night. It’s an awesome watch, it can measure how good is your sleeping, it can recommend when you need to sleep more time, do some exercise or breath and relaxation exercises to improve sleep. Also, it is capable to tell how much stress is present through all day. All this measures leads to one great data: body battery. This one tells you how much energy do you have for all your activities and how different scenarios impact, like doing exercise, experimenting some high stress episode, taking a snap and more. Of course, Venu 3 is also capable to read your sport performance, like running, biking, hiking, and much more. Maybe it is not the best for high performance athletes but it is great for casuals that want to improve their health. And of course, it also gives the time!!

I bought this with the impression I could make and take phone calls and text messages with having Apple and that is not the case. I love the tracking features on this phone and will keep it for those reasons. Just wish I would have done a little more research when purchasing it.

I've had an Apple watch for several years. Got tired of the same style and features for increasing amounts of money and decided to look around. The Garmin is stylish, light and easy to wear, packed with features I use and pretty easy to navigate once I spent a little time with it. I have an iPhone and was worried about connectivity but it has been great. I can see texts, calls, calendars, etc. Very happy with this purchase.

After almost a year with the Garmin Venu 3, I can confidently say it’s one of the most well-balanced smartwatches I’ve ever used. It’s not trying to be flashy like an Apple Watch or overly technical like some of Garmin’s rugged multisport models—it simply works, every day, in a way that feels thoughtful and reliable. What I Still Love: Battery Life: This is where the Venu 3 shines. I regularly get 7–10 days on a single charge with daily workouts and notifications on. It’s refreshing to not be chained to a charger. Health Tracking: Garmin’s sleep insights, HRV status, and stress tracking have become genuinely useful to me. The morning report and nap detection (which was surprisingly accurate) add real value. Fitness & Recovery Data: Whether it’s gym sessions, cycling, or runs, the watch gives detailed, actionable data without drowning you in metrics. The Body Battery feature remains a standout for understanding how well-recovered you are. Build & Comfort: The AMOLED display still looks crisp and bright, and the watch feels light enough for 24/7 wear. The tactile buttons make it easy to use during workouts—something touchscreen-only watches can struggle with. What Could Be Better: Garmin Pay & Smart Features: Contactless payments and notifications work fine, but the smartwatch side of things still trails Apple and Samsung in polish. Sleep Tracking Consistency: While generally accurate, there are occasional nights where the data feels off—especially with shorter naps. Price Point: It’s premium, and while it earns most of that price through build quality and metrics, you can find cheaper Garmin models with 80% of the features. Verdict: After nearly a year, the Garmin Venu 3 has proven durable, consistent, and genuinely helpful in maintaining better habits. It’s the sweet spot for people who want serious fitness data in a sleek, everyday design.

My review is based off of the sensor not being accurate with the heart rate goes on and off throughout the day it doesn’t catch you’re sleeping at night although the watches put on tight but not too tight. It just sucks. I threw away the box. And now I can’t get a refund sucks.

I got this a couple weeks ago and it’s pretty solid with battery life and some features like the ekg app. The sleep tracking is terrible with it barely recording any rem for me. It usually says I get less than an hour of rem each night which I know is wrong

I was looking for a watch that has 10+ days battery life and integrates with my other Garmin products, Edge520 and InReach Messenger+. It provides all the health data I would want and is a decent looking watch at a good price. I do hiking, biking and kayaking. At my age 66, I can choose watch faces that are easy to read while on the go, without needing to put on reading glasses. I like to monitor heart rate, Sp02, and ECG.

I bought this watch to replace my aging Garmin vivoactive 5. The screen and colors really pop. I still learning how to access all of the features that I use, but it appears to be a significant upgrade from my Vivoactive 5 which is getting old. I really like the watchface I downloaded for it. Lots of information at my fingure tips.

I bought this nearly a month ago and it continues to offer even better qualities than my Venu 2 that I sold for about half of what it cost me to upgrade to the new Venu 3. This is only of my favorite possessions because I use several apps nearly every day.

I moved to the Venu 3 from a Venu 2 and found that the core features showed modest improvements: very helpful fitness information augmented by music, phone notifications, wallet, etc. Battery life appears to be better and untested thus far are answering the phone and using the phone's Google Assistant. The downsides are a bit more cumbersome navigation, including the third button, and an unresolved challenge where the watch loses its bluetooth connection with its Pixel phone each night and has to be reinstalled. Every morning. At some point I will muster the time to track down a solution.
