This arrived a few weeks ago and I thought it would have some of the features in the less expensive Vivoactive - why on a device focused on health not include smart alarms but the vivoactive does? :( Otherwise, no complaints. Love the form factor, screen, etc.

Great upgrade from the Venu 2. Much more information displayed on the watch without having to access Connect. More intuitive app selection (e.g., timers, stop watch). ECG & HRV additions are great. Taking phone calls on the watch is much more useful than I thought it would be.

Long time owner and fan boy of Fit Bit, loved it’s evolution into the smart watch category. Thought the purchase by Google would only mean great things, waited and bought a Pixel 2, 1 had really low battery life so I assumed they would get it right with the 2. I was wrong, within a few months the watch overheated and I was sent a replacement. Battery never lasted over 24 hours, occasionally when going to bed with it at 50% I would wake up with a dead watch and no data, ridiculous! Loved the apps and integration into my Google Home but… My loving wife feeling my frustration and being a long time fan girl of Garmin got me for my birthday a Venu 3. 14 day battery life? Right! Uh, it’s true, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed. Excellent assortment of apps for all forms of exercise and a few I had not heard of. Bit lite on ”Smart Apps”, really liked Google Home for Wear and used it frequently, there is an “equivalent” on Garmin’s app page and I’m still trying to configure it. At this time, less than 30 days, I am happy and look forward to my dive back into Garmin. I’ve owned many of their GPS devices for boat and auto, no clue why it took me so long to take this plunge!

This is my third smartwatch and second GARMIN. I love the features of this watch. I am excited to learn more about the HRV tracking. The GARMIN coach is helping me explore running on my own terms, slowly a 5K. The step challenges with random strangers, great inspiration.

I’d been using Apple watches for years but I recently purchased the Garmin Venu 3 and I love it. The fact that I don’t have to charge every 3-4 days is awesome. Garmin is really stepping up in term of smart watches and in my opinion, they should be one of the best smart watch producers out there instead of Apple; that one is just for the brand.

I DO enjoy my Venu 3 with all the sensors. I have had AFIB events, so I monitor myself by using the Garmin watch. I came from using Fitbits and Apple Watches, but they became un-reliable and their batteries had to be charged DAILY (…or just failed!!). It has been GREAT, NOT having to worry about the battery in the Garmin Watch!! While I’m “reviewing”, I had an Epic Pro for a period of time and found it to a TERRIFIC watch with all the features that I needed or wanted, but (At my age and position…. retired) I found it too large and too powerful for my needs. BUT…. there was one feature that the Epic had that I would like on ALL my future watches!!…. the LED flashlight !! Our Son has an Epic, also, and uses the flashlight constantly!! Who would have thunk…. a flashlight in a watch…. WOW!!…. what a TERRIFIC IDEA !! The one in the Venu 3 doesn’t have the power that the Epic has…. I miss that flashlight in the Epic!!! PLEASE sell me a Venu with an LED flashlight in it!!! R. G. Bowers

I went from an Apple Watch to this watch, the Apple Technology is way smarter, and more user friendly. The look is wonderful, but it just lacks the ability to use apps with an iPhone. If you have another brand of phone maybe it would be a better option. I unfortunately cannot return this watch so I am very disappointed.

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.

Had it a couple of months. It was hard for me to switch from my Apple Watch but I had it with their battery and how frequent I need to charge it. My venu 3 is charged for at least 8 days and gives me all the Apple Watch info and actually more data. And it looks nice

I've had it for over a month, and it is by far the best fitness watch I've owned. I'm very happy with the range of data it provides, including the ECG feature, sleep data, and stress monitoring. It provides the perfect balance between cost and features.
