Great Everyday Watch

The Venu 3s is a perfect smaller face watch for everyday use with my dress shirts. Connection with my android phone is perfect. I love all the features and the ability to keep better track of my activity. This is a perfect watch that provides almost everyone one would need at work, gym, hiking or day to day. The battery with heavy use lasts a week, that's with running music off of it and tracking daily workouts and wearing all night for sleep monitoring. I know I can turn off some features for longer battery but don't want to, it charges quickly

Much better than my Apple Watch!

I bought this last week and absolutely love all the features it includes. I’m so eager to learning more and more about the features including- sleep, stress, ECG, exercise, naps, and many many more. If you don’t already I advise you getting one it’s 1000% worth the money for everything included in the app!

Better than Apple

I bought this watch to replace my Apple Watch because of the battery dying and the activity reports being inferior. I love that the garmin has better activity tracking and more detailed features. I wish the garmin activity connected with apple health to share with my friends. The only other thing I would change is the fact that my alarms don’t sync with my phone alarms so I cannot silence them from my watch like I could on my Apple Watch.

Love it!

Finally found a watch that isn’t overly large on my wrist. Women have small wrists so smaller watch faces are needed. This is still quite large but it’ll work. Honestly don’t wear it all the time due to size but it works great when I do. I’m waiting for golf season which is really why I bought it. I’m assuming I’ll love it.

Almost perfect

I bought the Venu3 to replace my wonderful, but scratched up Vivoactive4. I love the bright colorful screen (Crystal Reborn), the better sleep insights and the addition of HRV and Recovery information. But I hate being restricted to a black background when I go cycling (MTB mostly). I think I understand it's due to the nature of the higher quality screen vs battery drain, but I would be fine with battery drain as I seldom ride more than 2 hours. In the bright Texas sun, wearing sunglasses, I simply cannot take in the information I want with a glance…. And I really prefer to be minimalist and have avoided a cycling computer. My best solution seems to be to switch to my Vivoactive when I ride, which is hugely disappointing.

I love this watch!

This watch is amazing! I've used it for several months now. I use it to track my workouts, steps, sleep, HR, & SO MUCH more. It helps me to compete with me. It did take me a few weeks to get used to it and all the different things it offers. I think this is perfect for anyone who is looking to improve their health. You won't regret this purchase!!

Worth every penny!

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!

Great Alternative to Apple watch

This smartwatch offers the user a dressy alternative to the Apple watch and other Garmin activity watches. With its touchscreen scrolling and easy ability to navigate texts, the watch helps bridge the gap between apple watch functionality while offering great battery life and Garmin superior activity tracking. I've used the Garmin 945 LTE and fenix 5 which both lack the touch screen scrolling and ability to respond to texts and phone calls (android only) The only thing that will make the Venu better is the ability to respond to text while connected on the Iphone.

Great watch!

I have had a Fitbit for nearly 20 years and the product has gone so much so I decided to try Garmin Venu 3S for about a month now. No issues so far and I am still learning all the features. I do wish there were Disney watch faces that didn’t cost additional $.

Battery life is not accurate

The battery of my first Venu 3S I got about a month ago only lasted about 3 days so I called in and I was sent a new watch, well, this one lasts right about the same if not a little less. This is disappointing because this is one of the main reasons I got this watch, that the battery would last 9 days. My vivoactive 4 would last right about the same. Not sure what my options are at this point.
