Garmin Venu 3, Black

Upgraded from an older Fitbit, and really like the display and features.  Not only does the watch track daily metrics on activity tracking, but it has also given me insights on better sleep that seem to help.

Great watch, love it!

Garmin

Interface is nice. The tracking features are very good. Only thing I’m a little disappointed with is the battery life isn’t as long as was advertised. Still about 10-11 days which is better than almost all of the other options/competitors.

Really nice overall

Bought it a few weeks ago, it's helpful with fitness goals, which is what I primarily got it for but it is also a capable smartwatch with texting and calling and the whole deal. Good purchase

Well Rounded

I bought this about a month ago and I am relatively satisfied with the watch, although is does seem to have some issues with connection and messaging back, the watch resets itself a lot and doesn't really pair well

Garmin venu 3

Love the accountability, features and style. 
Great features to fit all demographics of fitness level. 
Stat visibility is great. Like that you can change your screen features as well.

Great features and reminders to get up and MOVE!!

Compare to Samsung  and Apple Watch Health features that I owned  they were no way close to the Garmin. Display function, information  and tracking capability far more 
superior.

Best Health Watch ever

This is my second Garmin watch and it is much improved from my previous one. Easy learning curve to use the features. Touchscreen convenience without battery drainage.

Easy to navigate

I love the battery life. The clearness of the screen I think is way better than my old Apple Watch. I couldn’t give it 5 stars cause I’m still learning the product. So far the only downfall would be not being able to respond to text messages.

Still learning

I had the Venu 2 it was damaged when I was hit by a SUV riding by bicycle. Ended up replacing it with the Venu 3 and absolutely love it. The speaker and microphone are great to have and already start using it. The sleep tracking is spot on.

Great smartwatch

I've always used the apple watch, but I couldn't monitor my sleep progress because I always had to take it off to charge. The Garmin Venu 3, is a great watch that helps me monitor my overall health, and workout.

Great watch, still learning

I bought this a month ago and I’m extremely disappointed.. I got it to measure sleep and heart rate and the sensor on this one may be faulty.. constantly saying my heart rate is 100+ and only getting 3 hours of sleep (so I recorded myself for a whole week and got 7 hours of sleep.. while the garmin said 3.5 hours… or wouldn’t even measure sleep) I should’ve gotten the venu 4 but will probably never get a garmin again after this experience.

Workout tracking

Before I bought my Venu 3 I had an Apple Watch, I travel a lot and just keeping up with the charging on that thing was such a chore that I finally got to where I was mostly just wearing a dead watch on my wrist more often than a live watch.    I was a bit worried I would miss some of the functionality on the Apple watch.    After using the watch for 3 months, I don't miss anything about the Apple watch.    The Garmin does everything I want it to do.   It has a revolutionary feature where when I wonder what time it is, it shows me what time it is...  immediately... without having to click through 97 popups or find a location to charge.   It does allow you to get notifications from your watch but I disabled that feature on Day 1.     It also keeps track health stats (steps, sleep, etc) and has some useful health related features that I can use when I want to.   But mostly its just a watch and it doesn't demand a lot of my attention.    As I write this review, I don't remember the last time I charged the watch and it's at 15%.   I will probably charge it later tonight but if I don't it will probably still be alive tomorrow in low power mode and in my experience stays alive on the last 5% for enough time to not require a panic charge.     It also charges super fast.  

As far as appearance,  it's a little plain but it's not terrible.   I bought some rubber bezel/edge covers in different colors that make it look a little more like a real watch.   Search for Venu 3 Bumper Frame on walmart.com - I just bought the open face kind sold by some obscure foreign company I'll never remember the name of.   I don't have a glass protector and don't feel like I need one, no scratches to date.    I don't like the rubber wrist straps in general (even the Apple ones) so I bought a 3rd party nylon strap with velcro that also improved the look IMO.     It's definitely harder to find that style of strap than for the Apple Watch but they are out there.

It's definitely not as polished from the software side, things are a little clunkier and the layout/menus are a bit confusing.   It took me a few weeks to adjust but now I could care less and I actually kind of like that it discourages me from fiddling with my watch all the time.   Some of the advanced health metrics require a 2-3 week data collection period before they start working right, which was my main anxiety at the beginning.      It doesn't integrate with apps which I thought I would miss.    For example when my plane starts to board it doesn't popup an app notification telling me my plane is boarding, but that was so laggy I was usually already in line before it went off and I can't think of anything I miss about that.

Overall I love this watch and significantly prefer it over the Apple Watch.   The battery life is amazing and it doesn't demand daily attention but still tracks all the health metrics I wanted and presents them in a nice way when I want to look at them.
