Battery life is not accurate

The battery of my first Venu 3S I got about a month ago only lasted about 3 days so I called in and I was sent a new watch, well, this one lasts right about the same if not a little less. This is disappointing because this is one of the main reasons I got this watch, that the battery would last 9 days. My vivoactive 4 would last right about the same. Not sure what my options are at this point.

Very happy

I am trying to “de-apple” my life. My apple watch was the first casualty. I hated it but used it to track my walking and exercise goals. My garmin is fabulous in helping me easily accomplish that goal. The battery life is ridiculous! Wear all day and during sleep. The functions are very useful.

Amazing watch, features, and battery life!

I switched from another brand that didn't have nearly all the features and the battery would die during the day. This watch battery lasts for days and I forget that I'm wearing it! I love that I can track my sleep, check the weather, track all kinds of vitals and improve my health. The screen is beautiful and intuitive and the software is top notch. I'm absolutely in love with this watch and all the cool features!

Love it!

I absolutely LOVE my Venu 3s. It is the perfect size for my wrist and it is very compatible with my iPhone! I had the Forerunner 965 but I needed more of a smart watch and I am so glad I made the switch! The Venu looks classy and it is perfect for my everyday needs! Has beautifully accurate tracking as well! Highly recommend!

High Performance watch

I recieved this as a gift from my daughter/ husband. Garmin Venu 3S is a great choice for those wanting to monitor their fitness and health. This watch is so accurate with its fitness tracking and supports such a wide range of activities. Plus, those who need motivation like me, Garmin watch rewards users with badges for hitting specific milestones. Furthermore, my favorite feature allows users to join challenges either individually or with friends. This definitely helps push me to be more active and monitor my progress. These features just make it more fun and engagaging. In addition, has smartwatch features such as notification of calls, texts, emails and app alerts, music and so much more. I just love it!

Love it!

As someone who was a Fitbit girly for a decade, I was so nervous to make the switch to a Garmin. After a year of research, I opted to get the Venus 3s and after having it for just 4 weeks, I am upset I didn’t switch sooner! The aesthetic of the watch is classy, it has a long last battery, and is far more accurate in its measurements than other smart watch.

Not ideal

I bought this Garmin a month ago to replace my Apple Watch and have been somewhat disappointed so far. The “pool swim” function does not track laps if you’re doing kickboard exercises as it will only track your laps if your arms are moving. This has so far been the most disappointing function that I’ve found. The only other less frustrating functions I’ve found is trying to use the pause function during exercises whether it’s swimming or running or HIIT. Maybe I need to mess with the watch some more, but the pause function has been unfriendly as it will just reset and stop the exercise if you don’t unpause fast enough. So much for a pause. What I have loved about this Garmin is the amount of data each exercise tracks and the battery life. For me these two things have been the only two thing that have surpassed my Apple Watch, especially the battery life of this Garmin.

Love this watch

I purchased this about a month ago to replace a FitBit that wouldn't hold a charge. This is my second Garmin - the first was a VivoActive 3. The battery life on these is amazing, their battery management is outstanding. Since my last Garmin, the software has made some major improvements - exercise detail, sleep detail, body battery are fantastic! The clarity of the screen is amazing too - and all of this only requires a once per week charging.

Awesome watch!

I liked this watch a lot! I have a fénix 7 that i am comparing it against and the screen on the venu blows it out of the water! I love the touch screen and the water resistance, I took it swimming and it worked great! I would recommend this watch for anyone. I love all the different activities it has, it even includes pickle ball! Can't wait to keep using it!

Disappointed

I bought this watch because I’ve heard great things about Garmins and the watch itself is absolutely adorable. I wanted a smart watch that was also cute. I didn’t like how harsh and loud the notification was on the watch compared to Apple Watch. I also didn’t like that I couldn’t respond to messages on the watch . In addition, when I got phone calls it would show the number of who is calling but not say the name, even if they were in my contacts. One day at 7 pm after wearing my watch all day I checked my steps and it said I only had 61 steps. I got up and walked around for a bit and checked again and it never registered those steps. What I did like about it was how cute it was, that the battery lasted for a week, and it felt comfortable on my wrist. Unfortunately, it is not worth the money and I am in the process of returning.
