I bought this Garmin Venu 3 to replace my Apple Watch because I wanted more health tracking features than what the Apple Watch could offer. WOW am I so glad I made the switch. I had my Apple Watch for 5 years and I thought I would never part with it, but I am so glad I did. The Garmin Venu 3 has far exceeded my expectations. Here are my reviews of various features: Battery Life The battery life on this watch is incredible. I can go a full week without charging, including multiple workouts per day, wearing it to sleep, etc. HUGE perk right there. Health Tracking There are so many health tracking features on this watch, including EKG, SpO2, HRV. If you are looking to have a better grasp on health features, this watch checks many boxes. Large Screen My eyes need all the help they can get, so this large screen is really helpful. Fitness Tracking As a very active person (4 strength training days per week, 3 runs per week, and pick-up pickleball 3-5 times per week), I love having a watch that will track my progress. This watch does a great job! It also provides personalized training features based on your fitness goals! Cannot say enough great things about this watch :)

I had needed a new smart health watch after my Fitbit versa 2 died. Took me almost a year to find the right one and if I did want to get another one. The Venu 3 came well recommended and does just about all I needed to do. It’s a great upgrade from my Fitbit. My only complaint on it is that you can’t select which apps notifications show up on the watch like the Fitbit did. Love that the battery last a full week using it almost daily for gps activity tracking something Apple can’t even come close to.

Love the Watch, battery time is great and a lot of great features. I just wish it had more sports in the list of activities, I play handball and would love to just press ”handball” in activities when I have training, rather then having to manually add it after every workout

Loved my Venu 2, my Venu 2 Plus, and now my Venu 3. the 3 seems to do a better job with consistent sleep tracking, HRV, and other metrics, and I like the new watch display. Cool it has skin temp, although I have no idea whether that is valuable. I use the option to keep the display on all the time, and the dimmed view works well and I still get decent battery life.

I got the watch 2 weeks ago, and have worn it around the clock to check it out. its a good watch, but there are some features that could be improved. it seem the face could have been though through to make it more useable. I bought the watch for the monitor capabilities, but many of the features are so small, like the heart rate, and is covered up by the watch hands at time. I cannot get the heart rate to be a bigger display, and when I use the "heart rate" function, the display is larger, but still small, and will go dark so it cannot be a continuous monitor. the watch has lots of features, but not all are easy to use, and the funtionality is interrupted by the watch itself. seems the software can be more intuitive and user friendly. the numbers on the face are weird, some turned upside down, which is hampered by all of the numbers being 2 digits, instead of just the 2 digit numbers [10, 11, 12]. it seems be an engineers notion of functionality, but is not really functional at all time. and when I am riding my bike and the face goes dark, and I have to use my other hand to bring the face light on when riding. many of the features could have been more thoroughly thought through.

It checks off the most boxes for what I want out of a watch within my price range, but quality issues bring it down. I had to have my original watch replaced due to a known issue with "mushy" buttons. Now my watch is incapable of accurately measuring the stairs climbed due to a barometer issue.

I have been wearing this watch for 2 weeks now and so far I’m loving it! The battery life is incredible (I’ve only had to charge it twice!), and the sleep tracking is very nice! I was an avid Apple Watch wearer for 6 years, and I’m so happy I switched!

I received this watch as a Father’s Day gift and I absolutely love it. I’ve worn this watch for 10 days and still have 50% of my battery remaining. In addition to the awesome battery life, I like the numerous watch faces on the Venu 3. I now wear my Garmin Venu 3 all of the time and have dumped my Apple Watch which required daily charging.

I purchases my Gamin Venue 3 about a month ago. It seems to be very nice but a great deal to learn. This is a huge step up from my Fitbit but the help/support and you-tube have been a great help. I am sure as I adjust to the difference I will enjoy it

I upgraded from a Venu SQ to the Venu 3 and I have been wearing it daily for 1-1/2 months. I like the new features and more detailed information that the Venu 3 provides. However, the Sleep related features need to be revised IMHO. Some mornings the sleep start time will be incorrect, and it reports that I started sleeping after I went to the bathroom, say 2 or 3 AM, when in reality I may have gone to sleep at around 11 PM. I can edit the start time, but it will show the added period as light sleep only without indicating any awake, deep, or REM moments. Sometimes it will also indicate longer awake periods during the night than what I think they actually were. In the Sleep feature area, the older Venu SQ seem to perform much closer to reality than the Venu 3. I hope Garmin works on this and updates the software.
