I've had many Garmin watches and recently tried a Samsung and their hardware/software did not compare. The Venu 3 is accurate for steps, stairs and oxygen sats (compared with hospital oximeter). Expect it will work well with my bike sensors but have not tried yet. BUT, I wear it gently, never when doing anything manual yet the face has 3 scratches already. Per the Garmin website I have not tried anything aside from a microfiber cloth but still they are there. Not sure if I received a defective device or they all have this problem. Aside from this it is a great watch but regretting my decision now.

Have had this watch for a month now and still trying to figure out some of the features ... I am sorta of a guy who wants simple, and this watch isn't exactly that ... many features that I won't use, but that's ok as I can just work around that stuff ... features I use are great and so far it's performing all the things i need very well ...

The Venue 3nis the perfect compliment to my Edge 1040 Solar. Tracks off bike activities and wellness. Got it to assist with altitude acclimation tracking as well as HRV. Great size and I like that it accepts different style bands. Would recommend if this is the niche you're looking to fill.

I bought this about a month ago and I am really enjoying all the functions that it offers. I use it daily to track my progress for my fitness journey. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the fact that during a workout the workout takes over the clock display and doesn't show the time

I received this for Fathers Day after constant complaints about a competitor's battery length. My son had a Venu 3 so a natural follow on for me. I changed the face to one that has what I need to monitor my daily activities, battery levels, steps, weather, and health-related items - and yes, the time as well. It took a week or so to get familiar with the user interface but I'm good now.. The integration with Apple Watch is "good" but could be better, IMHO. There are apps available on the Garmin ConnectIQ Store that have enabled me to keep my Apple Health and Peloton apps up to date. There are a ton of goals, awards, and pre-defined fitness plans and routines that I am only dipping my foot into after having the watch for a month. As for battery life? After getting the watch the first charge lasted about 8 days. I am on my second charge with the battery at 25% and still have 4 days remaining. Based on the timing my second charge will have gone 15 days - and only an hour or so to fully recharge. Overall excellent device - water resistant to 50m so I am unafraid of diving into the water with this device. I used to remove my other watch whenever I took a drink of water for fear I'd ruin that other watch (sarcasm intended). I highly recommend - I will add an updated review in 6-9 months which will enable me to comment more on the goals, rewards, and other app capability.

Lots of details no instructions. 2 software apps?? Which one is for what? Why 2 apps? Lots of data to access but I just don't have time to sit down and fumble through it all. Oh well, that's on me. It's a cool watch and I guess I'll learn more than the basics over time through trial and error. It is a cool watch though.

I have had several different Garmin watches for years and the improvements and upgrades just keep getting better! I love the ease of getting to my activities and widgets. It is intuitive. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a smartwatch that helps you achieve your health goals.

I've been using Wear OS watches since the beginning, I've had many different brands over the years. From the Asus Zenwatch 2 and 3, the Huawei, then the Mobvoi Ticwatch. But I finally got fed up with the empty promises that the next update will fix everything, and it never did. So I finally did what I've wanted to do for years. I switched to a Garmin Smart watch! And this venu 3 has been awesome! It does almost everything the wear watches do, but with the Garmin everything just works great, everything works smooth, everything just..... Works! I love it. To me it feels like Garmin is a adult version vs wear watches that are like kids toys

This looks the part of success! Very pleased with battery life and performance!

This is a Great Watch. I love it. It has everything I want to see at my fingertips.
