Game Changer

I bought my Garmin Venus 3 about a month ago. I am speechless on what to say. I'm still learning the options and functional buttons. Having the ability to stay active and restful with the monitoring a healthy life. Get this watch and monitor your health better with me and many more Smart Watch users.

Lovely Watch

I bought the watch a month ago and a have liked the features so far. The watch is lightweight, has a colourful display and the battery lasts more than a week. The apps are intuitive and easy to use. The one drawback I noticed is that the emails received are quite untidy in their format. I had a Fitbit earlier and in that the format of emails was crisp and neat. I hope Garmin improves on this aspect. Also incoming WhatsApp calls sometimes are audible only on the watch and NOT on my OnePlus 10 pro phone. Otherwise a lovely Watch and I'm enjoying it.

A Fantastic Upgrade: Garmin Venu 3 Delivers Everyt

I’ve been using my Garmin Venu 3 for a while now, and honestly, I’ve been loving it so far. It’s been a fantastic upgrade from my previous fitness trackers, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite gadgets. Design & Comfort: First off, the watch looks sleek and feels comfortable on my wrist. It’s lightweight, fits well, and the screen is bright and crisp, even outdoors in sunlight. The AMOLED display is a huge improvement over older models I’ve owned. Fitness & Health Tracking: The health features are outstanding. Heart rate monitoring feels accurate, and I like how the watch keeps track of my sleep, stress levels, and Body Battery. The hourly movement reminders help keep me active, but they’re not annoying. I used to be really into Fitbit challenges, and while Garmin does things differently, I’m enjoying the Garmin Connect community and challenges so far. Smart Features: Notifications come through seamlessly, and I love being able to see texts, calls, and app alerts right on my wrist. I’m especially impressed that I don’t have to manually select each app to receive notifications like I did with my older devices. Battery Life: Battery life has been solid, lasting several days on a single charge, depending on how much I use GPS and the screen. The only thing that’s been a bit tricky for me is the charging cable connection—it sometimes takes a moment to click into place. But it’s a small issue overall. Music & Apps: Spotify works great on the watch, and the ability to download music directly has been awesome, especially for workouts. I did notice that Garmin doesn’t support Pandora, which I used to use, but Spotify covers most of my needs. Final Thoughts: Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin Venu 3. It’s stylish, functional, and has all the features I want for health, fitness, and smart connectivity. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded smartwatch that goes beyond simple step counting.

Connectivity Problems

Received a refurbished unit after the Original Venu 3 just stopped working all together. No display whatsoever. Prior to it totally going blank, it had connectivity issues. It would frequently flash "phone disconnected"..then "phone connected "...back and forth. I just received this refurbished unit 3 days ago and have swam the last 2 days in the pool, it recorded the swim sessions just fine, but this morning the watch went to dim mode and a default clock face was present upon awakening. I had to reset and reconnect. Later this morning I will call customer service and ask for a replacement. My Original unit lasted about 11 months before having any issues. I primarily swim 3-5 times a week, about an hour each time.

VENU 3 Great Upgrade from the original VENU

I enjoyed my original VENU for the past three years and only upgraded due to the additional features available on the VENU 3. Specifically, the larger face, larger font, ability to send and receive calls and texts, and improved health stats and metrics. I am highly pleased with the VENU 3. In addition to these features, I am finding that the health stats and metrics are accurate, the sleep coach and Garmin Coach is helpful, and was surprised to find that the activities apps graphics are also improved. Finally, the VENU 3 easily integrated with Amazon Music, easily integrated with the Garmin store so I could obtain more watch faces, and has been holding a charge for nine to ten days with average use. Overall, a great investment which enhances daily life from the smartwatch perspective and helps improve health by accurate health metrics.

Good watch

Love the size, bought a 45mm. Don’t like that sometimes when you turn your wrist to light it up doesn’t always work. Love all the features and the quick button to start and stop a workout. Don’t like that the connection and disconnection is such a short distance

New purchase, but so far, so good

This watch replaced a Fitbit that was four years old, and stopped tracking my steps or sleep score. So far, it works well, and hopefully it lasts longer than four years. Garmin could do better with training you to use all the features, as it's not easy to sift thru dozens of videos on its use, especially for new users to Garmin products.

Great Product

My husband and I both purchased the Venu 3 a few weeks ago and we are both very happy with them. I got the larger size and quite happy I did. It is a big face on my small wrist but worth it to see more words on the screen. I upgraded from the Vivoactive 3 and not looking back.

Disappointed

I was highly disappointed in this watch. It looks and feels cheap. The user interface was lacking in that you have to download functions such as o2 monitor and the heart rate features. Seems as though these would be preloaded. I returned the watch after having it 2 days.

Adequate

This watch works as advertise, but is a bit underwhelming. The clock faces are difficult to read and lack nicer sophisticated look. The controls are also complex to set or understand. The watches needs a way to convert exercising such as elliptical into total steps as well.
