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.

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 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.

I worked at Apple for so long and had an Apple Watch, truly bc there is no other watch with such faster speed and compatibility w iPhone. But 18 hours of battery is not enough!! And it’s almost like the AW is built to break…Also you do not get features like blood oxygen/stress levels/ fitness age and moreee. Venu 3 Features/battery/style and so much more…BUT…one thing I don’t really like is that is more than difficult to swap out bands

I've had my venue 3s for over a month wearing it very consistently. The sleep tracking isnt that accurate it isnt detecting all my awake times. The nap tracking is supposed to autodetect and it didn't the first time I used it. The next time I manually turned nap tracking on it overwrite my prior nights sleep and it has done that with the 2 naps I took since. The exercise tracking is great, now if the sleep related issues would get fixed that would be great. I reached out on Facebook eith no response as well

I'm an engineer and impressed with the features and the way they are integrated. So many things packed in and they all function easily and well. Well done Garmin. Can't say the same for their marine products which have integration issues. Getting back to the watch I do have one item that could be better which is the music service access which is a bit hidden. It works well, however.

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!

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!

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.

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.
