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.

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.

Bought this recently and love it. The features are very similar/better than the Apple Watch and the battery life is sooo much better. I only have to charge this once a week, rather than every night for an Apple Watch. It makes it infinitely more usable.

My son got me this watch for Mother's Day and I love it. I'm still learning what all I can do, but so far I've been really impressed. I love the fact that I can get calls and texts and notifications right on the watch. And, I can make calls and send texts. It's great. I'm really enjoying it.

Garmin VENU 3S Review My 3 year old Polar M 430 gave up the ghost. I have used Polar for many years and I think they should last a little longer (planned obsolescence?). I liked the features of the VENU S3 and I purchased one early in 2025. The instructions for using some of the features, including the Garmin online user manual and most of the youtube videos are absolutely horrible. I hung in and got most of the features that I needed functioning, I need more time to understand some other features I might like. I also recently purchased the Index S2 Smart Scale. I read some really bad reviews about the S2 and hoped I would get one of the “good” ones. I had been using a 30 something year old Tinita digital scale which has been and is still my reliable backup which of course does not connect to a router . I weighed a dumbbell on both scales and got the same weight, I was pleased. The next morning I got on the s2 and gained 5 pounds, I brought out the trusty old Tinita and lost that 5 pounds I gained so quickly. I now weigh first on my trusty Tinita and then weigh on the S2 several times until I get a matching weight. I delete the erroneous data so that I get the metrics the Tinita does not provide. I am ashamed that Garmin still sells such a faulty product as the S2 Scale at such a high price.

I love my Garmin. My husband bought one and just loved his so much he bought me one. I was a little against it at first because I’ve had an Apple Watch for so long. I’ve been using the Garmin for a few weeks now and I wish I would have switched sooner. So easy to use, more accurate and the design is so much better than Apple. Buy one….its awesome.

I love the round face and looks fancier than the apple watches I have worn for years. The accuracy and data provided by the fitness and wellness features is incredible! It has taken me a little while to deep dive into all that’s offered because there is so much extra provided with the watch, but the instructions are super clear for my simple mind.

I was hesitant at first. I've always had an Apple Watch. I can honestly say I waited far too long to buy a Garmin. This watch is amazing. Great for beginners. It has a good long lasting battery. I only charge it about once a week. When I go to the gym it recognizes the type of exercise I am doing and fairly accurately keeps track. For example. I did 3 sets of 15 Romanian deadlifts and the watch not only recognized that I was doing deadlifts but it was only inaccurate in counting by 2/3 lifts (which is easy to edit). I have only had my watch a few weeks and although that isn't very long I am very pleased with it and with I had bought one sooner! Highly recommended!

I've had the watch for a couple of months now, works as advertised and has been a really good investment. Mostly got it for the heart rate monitor, but have found I like many of the other functions, and am still discovering more regularly! I went with the smaller version because I have pretty small wrists for a dude, and the 44mm would have looked like a sundial on my wrist.

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.
