So far, I like everything about my new Venue 3, particularly as compared to my now battery dead Vivoactive 4. The battery lasts longer, the display is large and of better resolution, and I appreciate the additional capabilities the Venu 3 adds, such as the ECG App.

Why am I waking to the Garmin Venu 3 watch disconnected to a Pixel 9 Pro watch. This in repeating once a week for the last 3 weeks. Re-setup has had to be performed after each disconnect. Purchased 5/19/2024. This has been a good watch until the disconnects. Another disconnect will probably have me going to a different sport/smart Watch.

This watch is great, easy to use, nice updates since my Venu2s. Comfortable. The bad- I had worn this watch for 9 days and I noticed there was a crack in my screen. I don't remember hitting it on anything. I have my other Garmin for years with absolutely no issues. So they quality has gone down for such and expensive item. And very unfortunate I had to pay to get a replacement for only a 9 day old watch.

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

I have had my Venu 3 for just less than a month now. I have been impressed with its features and especially its battery life. I haven't quite figured out eveything yet for example when I go waling in the morning it seems to be fairly accurate especially compared to what my previous fitbit sense said, However, when I mow the lawn or basically just go places by walking it doesn't seem to track as well. I still haven't figured out the sleep monitoring yet, there are times when i know I have been awake for periods of time at night and in the morning it says I wasn't awake at all. Overall I am still pleased with the watch and have no regrets that I got it to replace my fitbit.

I’ve been using my Garmin Venu 3 for a while now, and honestly, I’ve been loving it so far. It’s been a fantastic upgrade from my previous fitness trackers, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite gadgets. Design & Comfort: First off, the watch looks sleek and feels comfortable on my wrist. It’s lightweight, fits well, and the screen is bright and crisp, even outdoors in sunlight. The AMOLED display is a huge improvement over older models I’ve owned. Fitness & Health Tracking: The health features are outstanding. Heart rate monitoring feels accurate, and I like how the watch keeps track of my sleep, stress levels, and Body Battery. The hourly movement reminders help keep me active, but they’re not annoying. I used to be really into Fitbit challenges, and while Garmin does things differently, I’m enjoying the Garmin Connect community and challenges so far. Smart Features: Notifications come through seamlessly, and I love being able to see texts, calls, and app alerts right on my wrist. I’m especially impressed that I don’t have to manually select each app to receive notifications like I did with my older devices. Battery Life: Battery life has been solid, lasting several days on a single charge, depending on how much I use GPS and the screen. The only thing that’s been a bit tricky for me is the charging cable connection—it sometimes takes a moment to click into place. But it’s a small issue overall. Music & Apps: Spotify works great on the watch, and the ability to download music directly has been awesome, especially for workouts. I did notice that Garmin doesn’t support Pandora, which I used to use, but Spotify covers most of my needs. Final Thoughts: Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin Venu 3. It’s stylish, functional, and has all the features I want for health, fitness, and smart connectivity. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded smartwatch that goes beyond simple step counting.

This Garmin Venu 3 does more than I do. I've barely scratched the surface with it. Every day, I learn something new about it. One thing I especially like is the fact that it goes days and days without needing a charge. My previous watch had to be charged every day. I would like to see wireless charging available for it, though. I don't like having to plug in those four tiny pins to charge it.

This watch replaced a Fitbit that was four years old, and stopped tracking my steps or sleep score. So far, it works well, and hopefully it lasts longer than four years. Garmin could do better with training you to use all the features, as it's not easy to sift thru dozens of videos on its use, especially for new users to Garmin products.

I bought the Venu a couple of weeks ago. I have worn the Vivoactive, Vivoactive 4s and the Vivoactive 5. I finally got fed-up with the inconsistency of the HRM on the 5. I decided to upgrade to the Venu (larger size) and I am very happy with the decision. It has some features that I have not had before and the HRM is more accurate. I bought a Garmin HRM 600 so I would have very accurate measures. When wearing only the Venu watch it is way more accurate than than my Vivoactive 5 was. I swim laps in the pool with it, so open water swimming and use it on my bike. I like that I can very clearly see the screen, especially while swimming. Beautiful, bright display on this watch.The battery life is better than the Vivoactive 5, and this time of year I use the GPS a lot when training outside. I like the strong vibration for alarms and notifications, but also like that this Garmin has sound. I have answered my phone and made a call from the watch. I have an iPhone so I can’t use the text option. I am still exploring features on the watch, and I’m very satisfied with this Garmin and with my decision to upgrade and spend a bit more for a better HRM and additional features.

I finally made the jump from my old Apple Watch to a Garmin and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. When doing my research about Garmin, I heard it described as “a fitness watch with smart watch capabilities,” and I believe this to be the most accurate description. This is one of the best watches around for tracking fitness and lifestyle. I have been wearing it daily for about a month now and enjoy all the statistics of my day to day. The battery on the Venu 3s is amazing! As preciously stated, I had an Apple Watch and could not make it through the day without needing it to charge for at least an hour. But this watch has never dipped below 85% battery during the day and charges to full while I take my daily showers. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend the Garmin Venu 3s for anyone looking!
