I got this as a Christmas present and while I love the update, I found that I cannot find all the activities that my Garmin 255 had. I could create one, but I’m concerned that the datapoints will not be the same. For example. Run is just run. Ther is no trail run. So either I’m Hiking in the woods or running in the woods.

This is my second Garmin watch. The first was an Instinct and this watch is so much better. For fitness I primarily hike and walk. The heart rate monitor on this watch is accurate and very responsive. As soon as I start hiking uphill, for example, I can see the bright display indicating an increase. The old watch, frankly, annoyed me because the HR monitor was inconsistent or non responsive. The GPS seems to be very sensitive. I can walk around a tree making a 10ft circle and it will show on the app. It also tracks speed very closely. And distances are consistent. If I hike/walk a route and then duplicate it exactly the next day, the mileage may only be off 1/100th mile over a several mile walk and that could easily be me. So I’m very happy with the watch for tracking fitness. And I like the Garmin Connect App. While I’m working I use timers and the stop watch. All those features are easy to use. The watch is very intuitive, easy to figure out. I charge it for about an hour Saturday nights and after a week it’s still got 50% battery. For me it’s the perfect watch. Everything I want, nothing I don’t. Just the right size. Easy to use. I love it.

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.

This watch is the most difficult thing I have ever bought. The speaker is nothing but a crackle sound. Gps wouldn’t connect easy. Get an Apple!

I recently bought the Venu 3 within the last month or so. I am very happy with it and learning new ways to use it all the time

the speaker is very low quality it does not meet my expectations for calls or music functionality other features are nice

Great watch amazing features and batteries holds up a week witch is amazing compared to most watches only a day

One of the best watches I've owned. Had fitbits previously, wife had an apple watch...none of them compare to Garmin, it flat-out works. Great features, and it does exactly what I want it too!

I upgraded from the Venue 2, primarily for the afib function. Haven't really worked out with it yet but looking forward to the experience. So far very pleased with the watch's performance.

Love it with one exception. I added an app to track glucose which worked great until about 3 weeks ago following g a garmin update. I have tried all given instructions to restart app i clouding removing g and reinstall. Will not work!
