Best smartwatch I've ever owned!

I've owned the Venu 3 for about a month and I am so pleased with it! As someone who has owned a smartwatch since the beginning of the technology came out, this is by far my favorite one! My biggest complaint with smartwatches is that most companies try to make it something that could one day replace your phone. I believe most owners are like myself and just want something that is a great companion piece to technology we already own. The Venu 3 does just that. The health metrics are fantastic and have helped me make more informed decisions regarding my overall health. The notifications for things like messages and other apps on my phone are subtle and helpful. This is my first foray into the Garmin smartwatch world and I am now a customer for life!

Wonderful improvement from my Vivoactive 3

I have been enjoying my VA3 for 5years and it was hard to decide to switch because of the VA3 battery life. I was pleased to see the Venu3 had a comparable battery life with the OLED screen. My concern going from the VA3's MIP display that does excellent in the bright beach sun and waves was equally matched with the Venus OLED display.

Best battery on any fitness watch. Started with an apple watch but hated that I had to charge it constantly. First charge was after 8 days (25% left) and I probably could have worn it another day or two without needing the charge. Love the features in the app to build my own workouts then have it record my movement accurately.

Big Improvement

A big improvement from my previous Vivoactiive 4! Easy to view, I like the "Glance" features, Morning Summary, and ECG has just been downloaded. Intensity Minutes starts tracking by the minute not needing 10 minutes like the V-4. I had to adjust the heart rate zones so they wouldn't record so easily. When going for a walk, GPS goes on automatically, not having to select like on V-4. Like all the other health tracking!

Unbelievable clarity!

I've had multiple Garmin watches, probably 7 total, and have loved them all. I got the Venu 3 because of being able to take calls from the watch but I'm most impressed with the clarity and touch screen. I also like the slimmer look for the office over the fenix. My only complaint is the watch band is short, I'm attach it on the 3rd notch from the end. Overall, another great product!

Very accurate and user friendly

I bought this about a month ago, I have not regretted it once. I love the animated work out features, multitude of pre-loaded exercises, and customization of the watch face. Only complaint I have and is minor- I have a baby I get up with overnight and sometimes the watch will not log my sleep before I am up with the baby. So my sleep score is awful, and my body battery isn’t accurate. Other than that it’s the perfect watch for my wants and needs.

Problems initially

Was difficult at first, it seems Garmin only sends the watch with USB-c when most of the world is still using the standard USB took over a week to be able to use the watch, until then it was an expensive paper weight. once it was properly setup and I had the charging cable I needed it has worked very well. Expensive but worth it.

Awesome watch

This watch does it all, it did take a little getting used to coming from an Apple Watch, but it still has smart watch capabilities and all the health/ fitness tracking is great, plus the battery lasts forever which is amazing! I only put 4 starts because the watch will not connect to the e-bike in my gym no matter how long I sit there and try to let them pair so my bike work outs just show the time and my heart rate which is a bummer. Overall great watch.

Great Watch

The Garmin Venu 3 was easy to set up and integrate with apps. Its light and comfortable for all day wear and does a great job of tracking runs. The Venu 3 can also work with fun apps for golf and other sports. The watch is great for beginners who are looking to get started with running and monitoring workouts and for experienced runners that need the basics without too many bells and whistles.

Best Smartwatch ever!

Very much anticipating this smartwatch with a wealth of features for both Health & Fitness, but now also really good Smartwatch-Features (like calling on the watch)! This is by far the best watch I ever had and I can wholeheartedly recommend this watch to every Health, Fitness and Smartwatch aficionado! Sleek design too and long battery! Excellent Watch!
