I bought this watch because I wanted something that matched my Fitbit versa and my Garmin approach so that I wouldn't have to wear two watches when I played golf. And this fits the bill. I was worried about the golf piece because the reviews were all over the place. If you are an extremely serious golfer I'm not just a I love to play golf on the weekends golfer, then this isn't the right watch for you. But I was able to do all the things I could do with my Approach and still have the functions of a fitness watch. I know there's more I need to learn about what all I can do with this watch. But I am very happy and it has met my expectations and then some.

I really love this watch. Easy to use, the face is beautiful and the apps and features are amazing. I am returning due to lack of being able to upload maps (I didn't know it wasn't offered on this device and trail run often). If you dont need maps but you're looking for a wonderful piece of wellness tech.

I made the switch from Apple Watch to this Garmin Venu 3s. I am so thankful I did. There is so much more to the fitness app, battery life is unreal lasting over 7 days!, and the watch is stylish. I comteplated and compared. I even ordered the new Apple Watch because I was worried about how the Garmin would work with my 16 pro iPhone. The very next day a coworker told me about her same dilemma and showed me her Venu 3s. I was sold and immediately returned the Apple Watch and ordered the Garmin. Best decision ever! Absolutely no syncing issues whatsoever. I will never go back to the Apple Watch again.

I bought this a month ago and in that time have tried to learn how to set it some of its functions and have had a heck of a time. I think it's designed for techies and not for old seniors like myself. So it was a waste of money to me but I really wanted it to work.

I have wanted to make the switch from my Apple Watch to a Garmin for about a year now, finally this year when my birthday came around and it went on sale I decided it was the perfect time to make the switch, and it has exceeded my expectations! I will 1000% be recommending this watch to all my friends and family who also have been thinking about making the change!

Going from a Polar Running watch to this, was way more than just a lateral move. This watch was a major upgrade. Upgrades to data was just a minor upgrade compared to the beauty and elegance of this watch. Would have been better if it had some diamonds going around the rim of the watch, but it’s fine. 😉My wife couldn’t be happier with this watch.

I absolutely LOVE my Venu S3! There are so many amazing functions to this watch that my Apple Watch didn’t offer. The battery life is AMAZING!! They aren’t kidding when they say it last 10 days! The sleep tracking is wonderful and so accurate. Best purchase I have made in a long time. 100% worth the price.

There are some very nice features, including a crisper screen that I can read better without bifocals. But, the golf app, my primary use, is much worse than my Vivo Active 4S. The distances often don't update as you move away from the tee box. It may even show the entire length of the hole as you are near the green. Shot tracking is terrible. Drives appear to go all the way to the green, despite second and third shots being recorded from the correct place. When distances do show correctly, they are usually 5 yds long. Also disappointing that it's not compatible with the CT1 sensors. Swimming seems OK, but doesn't recognize breast stroke. I'm hoping software updates will improve the apps, but at this point I miss my old Vivo Active 4S.

Not only is it beautiful - I adore the classic gold touches - it is jammed packed with helpful health info for my wellness journey. I felt like I was shooting in the dark on my workouts with my phone just in my pocket but now have some much more information to rely on. I have an iPhone and was also worried about its limited capabilities with messaging but I love that I can get notified of calls and texts but can’t respond. Honestly, it’s helped me put my phone down more with knowing if someone needs me, they can still reach me without me getting sucked into a doom scroll. I love this watch so much, I got my husband one for his health tracking too! 10/10!!

Bought 2 weeks ago. Previously had a Fenix 5S and Apple Watch. Still learning to use the features as its touch screen vs the Fenix. Would like to see the entire bezel made in the metal colour of bezel and no plastic so we can switch bands and dress it up.
