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.

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 got my watch about a month or two ago - enough time to get a feel for the watch - and I have to say it was the perfect replacement to my Apple Watch 7! I migrated to Android and the watch worked great with Apple and works flawlessly with my Razr+. The functionality explodes when tied up to an android, to the point that Apple makes the watch feel handicapped. This is likely on Apple and not Garmin, and so it doesn't impact my rating. I use the fitness features somewhat minimally - just trying to stay healthy, not a gym rat or anything - and this watch is perfect for me. If anyone is wondering why I picked the 3S over the 3, it's because I have small wrists and anything bigger than the 3S would look awkward in my bones.

I have always had an Apple Watch...ever since the first one came out. I decided to try something else. I love this watch. It is less cluttered and easy to use. I run, bike, ect and I love the metrics on this watch. I works seamlessly with my iPhone as far as getting messages ect.

I’ve been using the Venu 3s for several weeks straight now and LOVE it. This was an upgrade for me from the Vivoactive 3s which I also loved, but the Venu can do so much more. I love that I can now track my HIIT workouts (previously I just used the Strength mode since the vivoactive didn’t have HIIT mode), and I really enjoy the workout summaries right on my watch telling me how I performed and how this affects my day, and also how long it will take me to recover. I love the Sleep score, Body Battery and sleep coach. Although my husband’s vivoactive 4 also shows body battery, I think the Venu 3 gives way more detail. When I got sick, the body battery indicator really was accurate with how I felt! And the sleep stats were very helpful in understanding the rest I needed. The Venu also really does last so long - mine lasts a full 7 days without recharging (probably can last longer but I usually charge when it gets down to 30%) so I really love that! It can do a lot of “Apple Watch” like features but I personally don’t care about those things so I have those all turned off - it’s why I got a Garmin in the first place vs an Apple Watch. I love that they have the options there if you want it, but can turn off for people like me who solely care about the fitness/health tracking!

I love my Venu 3S. I bought it just over a year ago. Suddenly had problems charging it and Ibrwached out to Garmin for help. They were great in trouble shooting and even eventually sent me a new one. Came to find out it was the charger that was bad, not the watch! Garmin is very helpful and we’re great through it all!

After just two days of normal wear, the watch face shows numerous scratches. It is unknown what exactly caused the large scratches but it's pretty upsetting considering this watch's price point. If you do decide to spend the money on this watch, you must get a screen protector, but know that there aren't many on the market right now.

Finally found a watch that isn’t overly large on my wrist. Women have small wrists so smaller watch faces are needed. This is still quite large but it’ll work. Honestly don’t wear it all the time due to size but it works great when I do. I’m waiting for golf season which is really why I bought it. I’m assuming I’ll love it.

I’ve had this watch for a month now and it’s safe to say I love it. I switched from an Apple Watch to this so it took some getting used to but overall, would never turn back. The interface is beautiful, works smoothly and I love how customizable the watch faces are. I only wish they had more “fancy” looking watch band options!

The Venu3S is great for tracking your fitness, sleep, and wellbeing overall! The sleep and body battery features help me organize my day and are so helpful for daily insights, but the durability of the watch is disappointing considering it is an active watch. Scratches on the screen within the first week of purchase.
