Made the switch from an Apple Watch to garmin, and I'll never look back. My only complaint is the Bluetooth range is pretty poor. I can be in my house upstairs and my home downstairs and the watch will notify me that is no longer connected to my phone. That is my only complaint. Easy to use. Great design. So many stats to track; sleep, workouts, recovery. Very long lasting battery life.

I purchased my Garmin venue 3s 2 weeks ago and I used to have the Google pixel watch. I absolutely love my Garmin watch over the pixel Watch. The battery is absolutely amazing! With my pixel watch sometimes I couldn't even go a full day without charging it and with this one I can go at least 6 days without charging .Not only that, it does a better job with tracking my activities and my steps. I am so happy that I switched.

I bought my Venu 3s about a month ago and am very pleased. I have owned two Garmin Forerunner watches thru the years. • tried the Apple Watch for a year and came back to Garmin and tried the Venu 3s and love it. I love the watch and pretty style • I love the data and information - I use for health & fitness • and love the battery life for sure! Really love this watch and glad I went with this watch. Very happy! I love to monitor my information toward my fitness & health • I am a current breast cancer survivor. So my health and fitness is very important. Sherri

I purchased this Venu 3S as an upgrade for my 2+ year old Venu Sq. It is amazing how much better the Venu 3 performs! GPS picks right up, no waiting around. Accuracy is good based on my usual route. So many new features that I haven't gotten to them all yet. Best new feature for me so far is the sleep score. Watch is sleek and comfortable. AMOLED screen is beautiful and easy to see even in bright sunlight. I'm thrilled with this purchase and would definitely recommend this watch, although the 3S might be a little small for a man's wrist. Fits me perfectly though.

I love the round face and looks fancier than the apple watches I have worn for years. The accuracy and data provided by the fitness and wellness features is incredible! It has taken me a little while to deep dive into all that’s offered because there is so much extra provided with the watch, but the instructions are super clear for my simple mind.

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 $.

This watch is so beautiful and I love the features it comes with, all of the activity options, its waterproof, the sleep mode, etc. BUT... I don't think this watch likes apple products that much! When I first got the watch I stopped receiving text messages which I needed because I work in EMS so can't always have my phone in my hand. When I looked online trying to figure out a solution there was not much online and all that was online I attempted to do. I finally restarted the device and started receiving my text again. I was just a bit annoyed given how much I've spent on this watch. One thing I also don't like is when I have my watch on I wish my actual phone wouldn't make noise, just my watch when receiving a text or social media notification. Like apple watch, when your phone is connected to it and when its on your wrist, the phone itself doesn't make noise, just the watch. So due to Garmin not having that feature its convenient when I get a call but my hands are busy and I cannot silence my phone... Lastly, I dislike when I'm a certain feet away from my phone, the phone disconnects to my watch. Sometimes I run into the store and leave my phone in and within feet my phone disconnects from my watch and I do not like that! Aside from those things, I love the watch when I workout and have no complaints in that aspect.

I bought this watch a month ago after reviewing it for a bit, and, so far I love it! Main reason for changing from an IWatch was the battery life! Really like the sleep feature and the body battery feature.also, the ability to customize my heart zones. Haven’t used it outside for hiking or biking yet but looking forward to it.

I’m eating a jar of pickles with my 32 ounces of water to see if I can avoid a headache today from running outside Every Saturday since I got this stupid watch (June, Houston) I have a headache all day bc I have to run outside for VO2Max reading. Without this watch I would never go outside between March-November. Sure, I look cool with the stylish face options and sleep band and I wake up already feeling accomplished by my sleep score. And I am really enjoying the nap feature, morning wake up alarm and tracking all my cardio and strength training in one spot. I should be hiding inside at a safe 72F but the VO2Max reading is such a temptress. Maybe pickles will help.

I’ve been using the apple watch for exercise for a long time. One of the drawbacks Was that it didn’t stay charged as long as the Garmin. This is a phenomenal feature of the Garmin has to stay charged for a week or more. The Garmin has so many more features, but this makes the watch quite complicated to use. It’s not as intuitive as the I watch for this reason I give it a middle rating for those who have time to go through and figure out-I would suspect it has a superb rating.
