Very disappointed

Ive had my watch for 3 months now, and I am extremely disappointed. One of the primary reasons I purchased it was for the sleep tracking, which barely works. I gave it a few weeks to "learn me" in hopes it would perform as it should but it never happened. It tracks my sleep probably 2/7 nights a week. Waste of money. Next time I'll stick with Samsung watches.

Love this watch!

I have issues with Oxygen saturation that no one has been able to diagnose. I had the Vivo watch before, but it only did night-time sats. This one can be set for 24h/day and is showing some additional issues during the daytime that I was not aware of, but explains the strange headaches I get. Between the watch and my Doc's we can figure this out!! Super helpful to be able to "watch" this (no pun intended)

A lot of features

There are many features to recommend this product, and it's fairly intuitive, especially if, like me, you've had a lot of Garmin watches. I like the night snooze option, and morning wake up feature. I selected this watch because I do a wide variety of sports and activities which this watch covers, and particularly wanted a watch that tracked floors, which not all my Garmin watches do. However, I find that the floor tracking is hit or miss, despite the fact we have extra tall ceilings, so the stair case is long. This disappoints me because I do the stair challenges on Garmin Connect. I've also been frustrated with the swim lap tracker, as it misses at least one lap out of every 20, often more. Sometimes it doesn't record them at all. That's disappointing after paying a fair amount for the product. Despite those particular aggravations, overall I'm pleased with the watch.

not so happy

I purchased the device which is not cheap at all. It’s a pity that there isn’t an automatic sync for contacts like there used to be in an old device I had. Also, it is still not possible to initiate viewing messages and/or sending messages from the watch to the mobile device.

Nice watch but……

I liked this watch but it constantly needs refreshed or things like the weather just won’t show anything but an “!” on the watch face. It’s a little hard to figure out how to record things like gym workouts. Also if you have an iPhone there aren’t any quick reply messages. I think it might work better with android but I don’t know. I decided to return it. I guess it just wasn’t what I wanted from a smart watch.

Very impressed!

I’ve had my watch for a little over a month. I’m very impressed with the quality and battery life. Switching from the fruit brand.. and having my reservations.. this watch has been more than I could have expected. Battery lasts over 7 days and I use it to track exercises and wear it 24/7. Could not be happier.

as advertised

great battery life. all the features you could want. the Garmin app store is a little pesky to get set up but once you do it's good to go. I'm sure some of the apple watch or Samsung's watches integrate more seamlessly but I don't foresee switching charges super fast. makes a great smart watch for all levels of tech knowledge. the adaptive goals on the step counter and fitness tracker are super helpful.

Love the battery life

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.

Great features

I’ve been using the apple watch for exercise for a long time. One of the drawbacks Was that it didn’t stay charged as long as the Garmin. This is a phenomenal feature of the Garmin has to stay charged for a week or more. The Garmin has so many more features, but this makes the watch quite complicated to use. It’s not as intuitive as the I watch for this reason I give it a middle rating for those who have time to go through and figure out-I would suspect it has a superb rating.

Got it for the battery

I was tired of charging my other watch every night and not recognizing my heart rate during workouts. I have not had issues with battery life or heart rate detection with the Venu 3S. My only complaint after wearing this watch for 2 weeks is the Bluetooth range with my phone. If my phone is in my bedroom and I am in the kitchen with my watch, my watch will not receive notifications.
