Have been using the venu 3 for a while now. Has everything that you need to track workouts/sleep/steps etc. Battery life is exceptional as well. Compared to the Apple watch I used to own this one is miles ahead and has a better look to it. Watch is easy to use once its set up.

I bought this watch because I wanted something that matched my Fitbit versa and my Garmin approach so that I wouldn't have to wear two watches when I played golf. And this fits the bill. I was worried about the golf piece because the reviews were all over the place. If you are an extremely serious golfer I'm not just a I love to play golf on the weekends golfer, then this isn't the right watch for you. But I was able to do all the things I could do with my Approach and still have the functions of a fitness watch. I know there's more I need to learn about what all I can do with this watch. But I am very happy and it has met my expectations and then some.

Got this for my wife who ran track and cross-country for BYU. She wanted something with better fitness features than the Apple Watch would offer, but still classy looking to wear to church,business meetings, etc. She loves the Venu for her runs. Very accurate pace and mileage features. She also loves the sleep reports. Highly recommend.

The Venu S3 is a very solid option for an intermediate runner or someone who likes moving. I wish the S option was slightly smaller, but the size is good. If you are just getting into running, I'd definitely recommend one of the cheaper options, that will have a lot of the same features, but will not look as nice as the Venu.

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 was used to an Apple Watch, but recently was getting back in to running a fitness and want to try something different and I personally love the look of this watch. I am so happy I have it a try. I am loving it and really like the plan workouts for free. So glad I made the switch.

Really enjoy this watch, it does everything I was hoping it would do. You can customize which information you see during exercise, which is really helpful. The route that an exercise maps out is very accurate. The battery lasts a very long time. Almost everything is spot on. The flights of stairs has been off with the last update, but I'm sure they will get that fixed. I am a woman with a small wrist and the watch doesn't overwhelm it at all, so I don't look like I'm wearing my dad's watch. I've tried the Garmin coach for running and it's a good program. I did wear it snorkeling many times while on vacation in the Virgin Islands. The route it mapped was very accurate. I did get a couple scratches on the glass during that vacation, but that was my own personal experiment. I don't like the watch band, it didn't hold the tail in very well. I was able to get an after market silicone watch band off etsy that's really pretty and the tail clips in.

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.

The only down fall that I have found so far is that I can't connect it to my phone carriers network (Verizon). Also that I can't be more then 30 ft from my phone to get calls and texts. I'm a very busy and don't want to carry my phone everywhere I go.

I used to be an avid Apple Watch user, and the Garmin Venu 3s does so much more. I primarily use this product to track strength training, skiing, climbing, snowboarding, yoga, and ice skating. I love the sleep score and sleep coach feature. The scores seem to align with my perceived amount of sleep on any given day. I am still exploring all of the features that this watch has to offer, but I am very excited to learn more about my VO2 Max, HRV score, and heart rate.
