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.

The Venu S3 is a very solid option for an intermediate runner or someone who likes moving. I wish the S option was slightly smaller, but the size is good. If you are just getting into running, I'd definitely recommend one of the cheaper options, that will have a lot of the same features, but will not look as nice as the Venu.

Has great features but constantly disconnects

I love the watch and the features. I don't like that every time I go in the next room that is less than 50 feet away it will disconnect from my phone. I also can't get the Text Message feature to work. My husband bought me the pink rose gold one. I love the rose gold but hate that the pink it all around the head of the watch so I can't switch out the band with another band. I definitely would not purchase this one again. I will be sending this one back and they'll send me another one to see if we can get the text messages to work and hopefully that will fix it disconnecting as well.

Wish I got it sooner!

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!

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!

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.

Frustrated

I have been using my watch venu3s for 4 months and not using phone feature. This is 2nd time in approximately a month that I have had to go through set up process to connect phone to app taking an a lot of time and effort to connect and not understanding why! It takes setting up all over. I love my watch and app without this annoying issue.

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!

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.

A huge change

Switching from apple watch to garmin is indeed a big change for me. Even until now I don’t know where to go or which buttons to push. Not that it’s hard I was just an apple gal. But this was has been great the battery last for a week if not more. On top of that it is super light you wont feel like wearing a watch. Still on a getting to know stage but so far I love it!
