I spent quite a bit of time reviewing various watches and ended up choosing the Garmin Venu 3s and I’m so glad I did! I love it! Pros: Excellent battery life Great metrics Good app Very comfortable, this was important bc I don’t like wearing watches and this one disappears on me. I can’t tell it’s there It looks great! Accuracy Cons: None I wish the connection App had some more versatility but it’s pretty great so I’m just being picky

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!

I bought this a month ago (prior to owning an Apple Watch) and love it! The battery life is amazing, I love all the features, and its sleek design is awesome! The only downside is there are a TON of features and it’s taken me time to get used to navigating all of them in the watch itself.

I got this watch for Christmas because I wanted a fitness watch that would track my calories for my calorie deficit. It performs perfectly. It shows me all of my notifications, and I can answer calls on it. I can preview messages and all. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the battery life.. Not to be confused, the battery life is still much better than my Apple Watch was, but I do have to charge it about every three days. I’m sure I could remove certain features to preserve the charge between recharges but this is just my experience with the basic setup. This watch is a very nice upgrade from my Apple watch and gives me great results. I’m greatly pleased with this watch.

So many features that fit my life. If you are an active senior adult I can't say enough. I run, bike, kayak, golf, swim; the Venu 3s keeps me up with and motivates me. The feedback is invaluable, and the Link Track feature gives me piece of mind that a family or friend knows where I'm at when off in the woods for a run or out in the water alone. So glad my Fitbit died after 12 years. Hope I get as many out of this Garmin.

This is my birthday gift (upgraded from a Garmin Vivomove). I was hesitated between Apple Watch and Venu3S, and very happy that I chose Venu3S. Long battery life (one charge can last a week), very accurate to pick up activities, Intensity minutes are much more accurate than Vivomove. I also love the ECG App. Surprisedly accurate on sleep and nap!

I've been a Garmin fan for a long time, and the Venu 3S is the best yet! The display is super-easy to read, with really vivid colors and so many options for watch faces with Connect IQ. The combination of touch screen and button controls make switching between screens a snap. Can't say enough good things about this watch!

A Fitbit user for five years, I decided to "upgrade" to the Venu3S. I have found that it is taking a long time to learn about the features. Reading on my phone or watching YouTube videos is not my best way of learning. This I have found frustrating. I know that I am not using the device to its full capabilities.

Bought this watch to detect AFIB. Turns out if you are athletic and your RHR is under 50 it won't give you a result. This is a poor decision on the programmers end. Many athletes have low RHR and AFIB. Second, when working with a breath pacer and breathing at 6 breaths per minute the watch just gives a reading of 14-15, so this is also useless. I do like the HRV information, so there is at least some value

I have been wearing a Garmin watch for 30 plus years. Have had at least 5 of the different models and have always loved them. Switched from fit bit because back then, they were only water resistant and Garmin was water proof. As I like to swim as well as walk, that was important. Next month I will be 75 and still enjoy getting the vibration letting me know I am passed 10,000 steps and often get to 20,000 in a day. Love my new Venu and how easy it was to install the watch.
