this is everything (so far) that ive expected in a health watch, there are a few things which I would have liked to be better for my taste. the 3S band for me is a bit on the short size ( its on the last eye but again to my taste i really dont care for the bigger watch face hense the 3S instead of the 3 but i cannot score down due to my taste. the other item (which is on me as well) I use an Elliptical everyday & a few times I have forgotten to turn off the timmer so in my report it appears like im on it for multi hours. wish there was a alert for inactivity. the features from walking (no running for me due to health issues) show the route that was taken i like a lot. this is my first Garmin watch (ive used garmin for several GPS units for the road & biking) & to this point am happy with my decision for this unit. just wish there band was a bit longer

The venu 3s is a good smart watch. I loved how light it was and elegant it looked. It has amazing tracking features, but the reason for me switching to the Epix pro gen 2 sapphire edition was because the venu 3s doesn’t do custom workouts and I looked at videos over and over again and even went to the Garmin website and it just kept saying that it was because this was an outdated watch. I love to do a lot of outdoor rugged activities and this watch was just too fragile for me. You HAVE to buy a screen protector case for it because otherwise it scratches easily and I don’t like that at all. It just didn’t suit my preferences but overall the watch is still a great watch! I just felt like if I’m going to switch from Apple Watch to a Garmin and spend a good amount of money on a watch that actually did what I wanted then why not go with the Epix pro.

I love my garmin Venue S3 so much! It’s an absolutely beautiful more sleek edition which I love (somewhat of a girly girl) and I still get all the benefits of an advanced sports/atheltic/outdoorsy watch along with it being waterproof, tracking sleep, menstruation and the list goes on! The only downside I can mention is that I can’t figure out how to download music from my Spotify to the Spotify on my watch. Went through all the steps to add it to my watch etc but it keeps rebooting or unloading my apps. I would love help from Garmin with this!! 10/10 recommend best watch I’ve ever owned, thanks to my husband for the birthday gift.

I love the fitness features of the watch and how easy it is to review your daily challenges. I also like how easy it is to change watch faces with lot of free options to choose from. I love the battery life which is now about 9 days. What I don’t like is the short watch band and it’s uncomfortable! I also don’t like the plastic case.

I used to be a Fitbit fan, however when my fourth Fitbit in 11 years died, I decided that I would look for another sport watch and I am delighted I found the Garmin Venu 3S. In every way, my Garmin outperforms the Fitbit, offers more programming options and adds music and other features to the sports watch that Fitbit cannot even touch. Long story short, throw out your Fitbit and buy a Garmin!

I switched from my Apple Watch to this Garmin about 6 months ago. And I really like the increased fitness aspects! This tracks so much more than my other watch did and the battery life is amazing. I love that my sleep is tracked too. This watch can also create running programs for you based on your goals and I love how detailed the snowboarding workout is. The only thing I wish was better is some of technological aspects. I miss being able to respond to texts and pinging my phone when I can't find it. Overall this is a really great watch for an active person or anyone looking to improve their health.

I've had this watch for over a year and it's truly an upgrade from my vivoactive. I enjoy being able to respond to calls and text messages on my watch. The connectivity between the phone and watch for calls could however be improved, it would also be great to be able to add a cellular service in the future. Battery life is great, possibly my favourite feature, Im very active (5 days a week 40 mins) and the battery lasts for at least 7days. One thing I miss from older models is being able to skip music on Spotify, I'd like to see some changes that enable that again even if through the notification bar.

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!

We've been using this watch for about a month. Love it as a fitness watch. The display is awesome. Many great features too. However, my husband (who has a new Venue 3) and I have had multiple issues on the golf course. Neither watch gives real-time distance to the green while playing. And about half the time doesn't give shot distance. Sometimes if we swipe to the next hole or the previous hole we can get it to work. But not always. But then if by chance, it is measuring your shot, you lose that as you swipe to a different hole. It's very frustrating. We went to the Garmin service center and we were told that this is a known issue that the techs are working on. Hoping they get it resolved very soon as his Vivoactive 5 and my Venue 2 worked great on the golf course.

I am an Apple girl, Apple everything… This watch was a gift from my son for my birthday, because my Apple Watch died. Well I love this watch and I am so in love with the features of the Venus 3. The sleep feature, the steps feature, the many different faces of the watch. I could go on and on!! Best watch EVER!!!
