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.

I purchased this smart watch a month ago and overall I am happy that I did. The sleep tracker seems pretty accurate as does the overall step tracker. I have enjoyed some of the pre-programmed activities too. I have to charge it about once a week. I have to take a star away as I like to check the weather when I first wake up and because the watch hasn't synched with my phone while sleeping, this feature is unavailable. Seems to have to sync to the phone more frequently than my previous version. Also take note that the EKG monitoring feature is not available in all geographic locations; something that was not disclosed when I purchased the watch.

I purchased this watch because I wanted something that would pair heart rate with the Edge 820. I like wearing it when I downhill ski as it does not track the chair lift rides as skiing. I'm getting some information about how terrible my sleep is, which has been useful in making some changes. I use it for strength training as well. Sadly, I'm not a runner, (bad knees) so this seemed like a good fit over the Forerunner. I like the data this provides and I have been more aware of my activities. Also, looks nice and the watch surface so far has been scratch resistant.

I have had my Venu 3S for about a month and I am so far very impressed with all the features it has to offer. I love that it breaks down my stress and sleep and gives recommendations of things I can do to have a better night sleep or how to wind down for the day. The challenges that the app offer keep me motivated to move and accomplish the goals I have. I am still learning about all the features the watch has to offer but so far it's been awesome.

I am an Apple girl, Apple everything… This watch was a gift from my son for my birthday, because my Apple Watch died. Well I love this watch and I am so in love with the features of the Venus 3. The sleep feature, the steps feature, the many different faces of the watch. I could go on and on!! Best watch EVER!!!

Great and stylish watch that records all activities that I like to do (from HIIT workouts to skiing or just a simple walk) Battery lasts for 9 days and it charges quickly. I also like the Garmin App which allows me to share my activities with other Garmin users.

I bought this about a month ago and I am so glad that I did. I have always been an Apple Watch girly, but was reading reviews that the Garmin is better for exercise tracking. The reviews couldn’t have been more correct. I now realize Apple Watch is just a smart phone on your wrist whereas the Garmin does exactly what you wanted to do. Tracks my steps, tracks, my workouts, check my heart rate, tracks my sleep, and tells me the different sleep categories that I was in the night before. It’s been so helpful and such a blessing and I am so thankful that I purchased it.

I bought this watch about two weeks ago and am wondering how I went this long without one. I am using it to train for a half marathon and it has been very helpful. I also love all of the other features such as the steps, breathing activities and meditation.

I used to have an Apple Watch, but wanted to see how the Garmin compared. Hands down a better product. The battery lasts over a week on a single charge, the data it provides is better & more accurate, it integrates to receive your notifications - everything that I wanted in my Apple Watch is better on the Garmin.

Garmin claims to have an always on display but does not keep the entire clock face, the second hand on. This is very important in my work. The second hand worked on my old garmin watch. I cannot use this watch for everyday use without a second hand. For me the other features were a bonus but now they don't matter at all if I'm not wearing the watch.
