I've used a Garmin Vivoactive4 for several years and this is a significant upgrade. For me it's the perfect combination of smart watch and activity tracker. I use it mostly for golf and pickleball and to track my sleep and daily health stats. It has not disappointed me. The new display is so nice, the watch is responsive, and easy to use. I have no regrets that I upgraded to this model. It has the perfect combination of features for my needs.

This watch is great. I have a pace maker in my heart, and this watch allows me to track my ecg, pulse, and blood oxygen. It also gives me a sleep score and recommendations. I'm a swimmer, and it will track laps. It does so much more, but the best part is the battery life; I have charged it twice since I got the watch, and the charge lasts a week. It completely syncs to my android phone, unlike some other smart watches.

Hi there, thank you for great product. I like garmin venue 3. But i am a little bit disappointed. After two weeks of usage, i found that weather became wrong on watch screen. It shows different values, not what i have on watch. When i did set up of watch, i selected Weather settings to get data from my iPhone. And everything was Ok. But after few weeks you released some upgrade to watch and Connect app. And now i don’t have option is user settings to change weather config. There is no such setting any more. Why? And now my watch shows wrong weather. In setting on watch for weather there is only option to update my location by GPS. But gps does not work properly in Ukraine due to fu*ed russia aggression over Ukriane. Please return weather setting to iPhone Connect app. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.

I'm a long time Garmin fitness tracker / smart watch user, the Venu3 is my 4th Garmin. This is by far the best. The screen is bright and easy to use. The fitness tracking is easy to use and very effective. Integration with my iphone is great. I love that this watch has a speaker. Battery life is amazing.

I have had my Garmin Venu 3 for a few weeks now and have really enjoyed it. It is my first smart watch, so I can't compare it with other smart watches, only against going without a smart watch. I love getting my phone notifications on my wrist. It is also nice to be get notifications without disturbing those around me. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the sleep tracking feature. I knew I needed to get more sleep, but now I can't deny it... I know the facts. I'm not a very active person, so I can't speak to all of the activity tracking features, though there seems to be a bunch of activities it is setup to track. The battery life is also awesome. The one time I take it off is when I shower and if I plug it in for that short time every few days the watch stays fully charged. I did update the band, as the rubber version that it comes with makes my wrist sweat. But that is a common band for this type of watch and it was easy and cheap to find an alternative specific to this watch.

Pros: --Excellent Battery Life. --Fitness Apps and Amt of Data are accurate and amazing!! Way better than Samsung Watch 6 Classic. --Great integration with Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence 2. Accurate. --Heartbeat is accurate. --Body Battery is great. Coach is good. --Sleep app is acurrate, but I'm always getting Poor Sleep (that's on me, not Garmin). --HRV and Recovery is great. --Way more accurate that Galaxy Watch 6. --OK integration with smartphone. --IConnect is faster and more stable than better than Samsung/Wear OS. ---Has OK smartphone abilities. --Does Emails (via MS Office, and texts notifications). CONS: --Venu phone OS is not as polished as Samsung. It's built for button pushing, not for swiping. The OS really needs to be updated to modern times. --No Whatsapp integration. --Phone Volume is low. --Watch faces are OK, but could be better. Overall: --If you want a polished smartwatch, go for Samsung. But dont expect accuracy in their fitness areas. --If you want a semi hardcore fitness watch that does more than average, (not triathlonr/Pro Level, but more than average), and you are willing to trade some of the polish for fitness functionality, have basic smartphone connections, with MP3 player, and Amazing battery life (14 days max no bluetooth or constant on screen, but abt a week with constant bluetooth connections)--this is the watch to get.

I bought this to work with my Android phone and I bought an Apple Watch for my wife to work with her I-phone. She has to recharge her phone daily, and I only need to charge after a week or two even though I tend to do it once per day. It's nice to know I don't have to recharge it daily. My wife and I are still comparing our applications and their performance. I like to use a stationary cycle, but the app doesn't allow me to input the calories burned based on the computer output from my cycle. Maybe I need to learn more about the applications and I will find a way to record stationary cycle activities better. We both like our sleep apps, but the Garmin provides more information than the Apple watch. OK, my Garmin will not receive calls without my phone Bluetoothed to it and her Apple watch doesn't require her phone to be nearby, but I don't pay an additional monthly fee to my service provider for the Garmin. I wanted her to have phone access because she does HIIT in our neighborhood and doesn't need to be carrying her phone at these times. Men have pockets, so carrying my phone is not an issue. I like the many choices of watch faces! I like the fact you can create your own even though I use one that's provided on the Garmin IQ. I could go on but this is all the time I have for the review today.

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.

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 had an Apple Watch and it was getting older and I was tired of always charging it twice a day. This looked great and I thought I would try it out based on the fitness and the smart features. This watch is excellent and lasts a long time .I like to track my sleep and fitness and it does that Wonderfull and in some ways better than Apple Watch like body battery. I am enjoying not charging this for several days at a time.
