I've had the watch about 3 weeks. I love the watch -- big improvement over my past fitbit watches. I'm happy garmin offered the 3S as I have a small wrist. I'm still learning the watch and get confused on how to interpret some of the data but that will come with more use. I'm not happy with the strength workout setting. I like to put the app on and go, not have to keep interfacing to tell it reps are complete. Otherwise no big issues. Battery life is better than expected so far.

I had the Garmin Forerunner 45S for years but wanted more features. I bought the Apple Watch initially but disliked that it wouldn't hold a charge for more that 24 hours and the access to the features was a multi step process. I returned it and bought the Garmin Venu 3S. Best decision! There is nothing I don't like about it. Easy access to my activities and stats. Super fast to get to my steps, calories, heart rate, etc. I can choose my activity with a click of a button and go! Holds a charge for days! Which is great when you want to monitor activity and sleep. And the Venus 3S watch face is the same size as the forerunner 45S. Highly recommend!

I bought this watch to replace a Venu 2s that I had owned for two years (after owning many other vivo watches before.) This watch seems defective. Sleep monitoring has consistently (for a month) shut off before I actually wake up and not even triggered by a trip to the bathroom. Additionally, Garmin Pay is not working despite it working with the previous watch. There are some new features that seem intriguing; however, distracted by these daily nuisances that don't seem to work.

I’m a Garmin person & it was time to get a new watch. I chose this one because of the call feature but there is so much more to it! I love waking up to my morning report & seeing how I slept! It’s so comfortable to wear & very easy to use! I do really love the call option but there are so many things to love about this warch!

I had the forerunner 265 and wanted something less “sporty” looking. I looked into this one and did research on it and decided to take the plunge. So glad I did. This watch is amazing. Clear, crisp screen, battery life is great, love the look of it, love all the features. It makes my forerunner look like a kids watch. Very happy with my purchase.

I’ve had an Apple Watch for years but was tiring of always adjusting notification settings, working towards a seemingly random “move” goal, and then it started shutting down in cold weather activities, robbing me of tracking abilities. I research and polled my athletic friends and coaches, overwhelmingly being pointed in the direction of Garmin. The Venu 3S met my sport tracking requirements, and the battery life and a health features pushed me to choose it over an Apple Watch. After a month with it, I can easily say I won’t go back. I love the precision of watch features, how appealing it looks, and mostly I love that I can better control annoying phone notifications so I’m less distracted and anxious throughout my days. This watch has been a dream and I look forward to many happy years with my Venu!

I absolutely LOVE my Venu 3s. It is the perfect size for my wrist and it is very compatible with my iPhone! I had the Forerunner 965 but I needed more of a smart watch and I am so glad I made the switch! The Venu looks classy and it is perfect for my everyday needs! Has beautifully accurate tracking as well! Highly recommend!

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!!

I worked at Apple for so long and had an Apple Watch, truly bc there is no other watch with such faster speed and compatibility w iPhone. But 18 hours of battery is not enough!! And it’s almost like the AW is built to break…Also you do not get features like blood oxygen/stress levels/ fitness age and moreee. Venu 3 Features/battery/style and so much more…BUT…one thing I don’t really like is that is more than difficult to swap out bands

Enjoy the different types of exercises it keeps track of. I wish there was an easier way to set an alarm for it or it going off when you set an alarm on your phone. I do love the fact that I don’t need to charge it every night like my Apple Watch that I had before getting this.
