I’ve been using the watch for a few weeks now and love it. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. I was mostly interested in my sleep but it offers ALOT of insights in overall health with details and recommendations. I just recently started using a running plan and love it so far. I’m still getting used to the bells and whistles (coming from ten years of using an Apple Watch) but glad I made the switch!

Upgraded to the Venu 3S after my third Fitbit in three years bit the dust. (Way to ruin a brand, Google.) I love it! Not only is it more accurate than the Charge 5 I had, but I don’t have to charge it every day like an Apple Watch, and the screens and app coordinate in such a way that it’s easier - and much more fun - to set and meet my health and fitness goals!

Over the years I’ve been through 4 Fitbit’s and last year I bought an Apple Watch. I really tried to like the Apple, but wasn’t satisfied. I finally decided to invest in this Garmin. It rocks! It is far superior for fitness tracking. I’ve read that some people don’t like the sleep tracker, but I have been very satisfied with that feature as well. Highly recommend!

We've been using this watch for about a month. Love it as a fitness watch. The display is awesome. Many great features too. However, my husband (who has a new Venue 3) and I have had multiple issues on the golf course. Neither watch gives real-time distance to the green while playing. And about half the time doesn't give shot distance. Sometimes if we swipe to the next hole or the previous hole we can get it to work. But not always. But then if by chance, it is measuring your shot, you lose that as you swipe to a different hole. It's very frustrating. We went to the Garmin service center and we were told that this is a known issue that the techs are working on. Hoping they get it resolved very soon as his Vivoactive 5 and my Venue 2 worked great on the golf course.

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 got my venu 3s back in January and love it. Previously I had first venu and the 3s does not disappoint. I love the data I get each day and the ability co sutomize my app screen. My only wish is that as a night shifter the sleep advice I get is definitely shifted towards people with a normal schedule though it does pick up my daytime sleep unlike the first venu. A great watch for keeping an eye on your health and activity levels

After having the similarly priced Forerunner 265s, I thought I was upgrading to the Venu 3s. The latter has the new gen sensor (ELEVATE 5) that tracks skin temperature and probably has better accuracy. It can also detect heart Afib and that could be a handy feature for a 60 year old person... The watch is excellent, like every Garmin. With a always-on-display turned off, it will easily give you a week of battery life (less than advertised but still way better then Apple and Samsung), it has many "smartwatch" features and I can't think of anything missing. But where it really shines is data, lots of data... From steps and recording every workout to HRV, stress, sleep phases, body battery and training readiness - it will collect as much as any other device short of Fenix or other high end Garmin watches. The data is presented in a useful way but there are huge missed opportunities. The biggest one is not providing an option to look at the big picture - present all metrics in a Monthly view instead of daily. Daily data varies a lot but the value of health tracking lays in monthly view. It provides insight into health's real trending - the reason why we wear tracking devices in the first place. A real disappointment is Garmin decision to actually remove access to watch data. As opposed to Forerunner 265s, on Venu 3s screen, one can not tap to different days in the weekly view to see the values (number) for each day. This is now exclusive to Connect app. Why?...

This watch is great for tracking health. It has more capabilities than I thought when I purchased it. The battery life is also way better than expected. The band was great quality but I was able to find a more comfortable aftermarket, point being the options are endless and it was very easy to replace.

This is my 3rd VenueS watch! The multiple apps are to relevant to my lifestyle at 72 and more important than ever! Tracking my biking, hiking, walks and yoga helps me to regulate exercise and sleep so I stay active in a healthier way. I have a tendency to burn out.

I had been a Fitbit user for 10years and with the changes in their platform decided to switch to the Garmin and I was not disappointed! The watch is very sturdy and fashionable, the display is amazing and it has soooo many features. The App collects all your data too. I am so glad I made the switch!
