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.

I would totally give this watch a 5, except for one thing. When answering calls, I can barely hear the call. I've checked the settings several times and literally have it up as far as it will go. I just shout that I'll call them back later on my phone. Other than that,. I love all the features. The watch is stylish and keeps an accurate record of my hikes on the trails. The battery life is better than expected. I'm very pleased with the watch overall.

This isn't about the watch, it's fine, as is my Forerunner. The review is about the Garmin update that deleted all my historical info. My wife and I use these watches to monitor ongoing health issues, and they have been very effective for that. Today when I hooked up my wife's watch it said we needed an update to Garmin Express. I ran it. When it was done it no longer showed our old account, which of course contains all our historical data that we share with our doctors. Now we are starting today with nothing. This sucks. Some of that data was 2+ years old and it's gone. Thanks a lot Garmin.

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.

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’ve had my Venu for a month now, and it keeps me more in tune with my health. While I haven’t taken advantage of all the features yet, I feel more confident in my ability to prepare for my future health. It is small enough to not be in the way, and the band I swapped out makes it more comfortable and so easy to adjust on the fly.

This watch is so beautiful and I love the features it comes with, all of the activity options, its waterproof, the sleep mode, etc. BUT... I don't think this watch likes apple products that much! When I first got the watch I stopped receiving text messages which I needed because I work in EMS so can't always have my phone in my hand. When I looked online trying to figure out a solution there was not much online and all that was online I attempted to do. I finally restarted the device and started receiving my text again. I was just a bit annoyed given how much I've spent on this watch. One thing I also don't like is when I have my watch on I wish my actual phone wouldn't make noise, just my watch when receiving a text or social media notification. Like apple watch, when your phone is connected to it and when its on your wrist, the phone itself doesn't make noise, just the watch. So due to Garmin not having that feature its convenient when I get a call but my hands are busy and I cannot silence my phone... Lastly, I dislike when I'm a certain feet away from my phone, the phone disconnects to my watch. Sometimes I run into the store and leave my phone in and within feet my phone disconnects from my watch and I do not like that! Aside from those things, I love the watch when I workout and have no complaints in that aspect.

I have been an apple watch user for the last 7 years, and decided to make the change to the Garmin this year, and I have no regrets! My favorite part is that I don't have to charge my watch everyday nor do I have to worry about it dying before the end of the day. It gives much more in-depth details which is awesome, and round face is so stylish. The ONLY minor complaint that I miss is that I can't ping my phone to find it when I so often misplace it!

The Garmin Venu 3S is perfect for my daughter. The setup is seemless and intigrated nicely with her iPhone. Previously a fitbit wearer, she insisted on getting a Garmin that matched her mom. She likes the ease of us. The battery stays charged for about 8 or 9 days. She likes the step counter and says its comfortable. She has the 41mm which is sized great for her stature.

I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago and it is amazing. It has so many features and the interface is very easy to follow. The selection on apps is impressive and you can customize how you want the watch to work for you. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fitness focused daily watch!
