Was having charging problems with Venu. After I had it for over 3 to 4 years. Love my Venu and missed it but love, love and I mean love my new Venu3. It has more features and loves the size of my screen. Female needed a little bigger face size. Had two switches out the silicone bands for stretchy fabric bands.

I loved the watch it works perfectly for me the only thing I wish if had was the feature to turn my alarm off from the watch itself. Since I’m not always near my phone. I did decide to send the Venu 3 back only because it was just to big for my wrist. I switched to the 3s and I’m glad I did

Happy to have upgraded from Venu 2 last month. Venu 3 is better technically, with all the old features enhanced and a more intuitive UI. Heart rate monitor-based functions all work better, plus new diagnostics offer better sleep insight. If you want more running- or golf-focused tools pick a different purpose-built Garmin. For multipurpose health monitoring and everyday functionality though, pick Venu 3. It’s a good tool. Integrates well with Apple iPhone too.

I bought this watch to replace my aging Garmin vivoactive 5. The screen and colors really pop. I still learning how to access all of the features that I use, but it appears to be a significant upgrade from my Vivoactive 5 which is getting old. I really like the watchface I downloaded for it. Lots of information at my fingure tips.

issue with the voice assistant as the issue is the phone is not seeing the watch secondary bluetooth connection it needs to use the voice assistant feature. Per Garmin support.... As mentioned before, we are aware of the issue and have an active case setup to try and find out what is happening. Return product :-(

I had this watch for 5 to 6 days and only had the watch face I wanted for around 12 hours then it switched to Garmin generic face. I tried switching back to the face I downloaded and it would never come back up. Tried restarting, that didn’t work. I tried deleting the face I downloaded and downloaded again, and it would never change from the generic watch face. Tried factory reset and from there it would never link back up with my phone, after a day and half, I had enough. I returned the watch for full refund. I love Garmin, but for me the VENU 3 was a bad fit. My Forerunner 55 has been great, I may try the Instinct 2X Solar and see how that goes. I am not giving up on Garmin, just the VENU 3, we were Compatible.

I love the battery life on this thing. I wanted a watch that wouldn't die every other day, and this thing has proven to be an Energizer bunny with great lasting battery life. I also love the variety of watch faces available and the insights provided by the sleep coach. Happy with this purchase!

This was a upgrade I am coming from that original Venu gen 1. This Venu 3 is much much better I was having 1 issue which was sorta annoying. Bluetooth connection was disconnecting from watch for weeks while I would be resting in bed phone on dresser right next to me . This bluetooth disconnection only happened while laying in bed and watch on my left wrist. Also if I would hold phone in left hand right above watch on left wrist it would disconnect. Strange but as of a few days ago I am no longer having bluetooth disconnection issues. So happy!

I think this watch is pretty good overall. I've had several fenix, ambit, and samsung watches in the past and this was sort of a middle ground between all those. I liked the smart watch features although not as good as the Samsung, but it is a much better fitness watch than the Samsung, although not to the ambit or fenix. I ultimately replaced with the fenix 8 as it has several of the same smart watch features in a better, but more more expensive, overall package.

I absolutely love the health and performance data that is available on Garmin. I will keep it due to the data and options but it has some room for improvement. I’m a pretty tech savvy person but the set up and ongoing update process requires a lot more than an Apple Watch. I had to download two apps and software to add Spotify to my watch or upload watch faces. I was successful but the process is far from smooth and can use refinement. Another con is the transfer of data to other apps such as Apple Health and Pacer. I have pretty much lost my data because it doesn’t sync consistently even when I try to help with the sync process. Beyond that the battery life and access to performance data will keep me using my Garmin.
