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!

Received this for the holiday and I am very happy with the battery life and most of the functionality. I would give 5 stars if the voice command could add items to a shopping list. Other pros are the battery life and wearability. Cons are the connect store has lots of apps that are half baked. I wasn't able to find a watch face with numbers that looked sleek. Wish there were more options for a sleek look. Unable to recreate the watch face on the marketing photos with numbers for the hours. Why isn't gold a color option for the customizable watch faces. A few quirks but happy with the VENU 3S.

I’ve had this for roughly six months I like it but I have some issues with it. The screen scratches kinda easily which is upsetting since I know some of their other watches don’t. Also if I rush my teeth it counts it as steps which then gives me an inaccurate number while some of their other watches don’t like the Fenix. Other than that I have enjoyed it.

I had the garmin narrow fit band and this on caught my eye, it came on sale and I ordered it, had buyers remorse but after a few days use I like it very much. So light you don't notice it on your arm. Many features and I just use a few. No problems at all so far.

I use this in conjunction with an Edge bike computer for when I do bike specific activity, but replaced a first-gen Venu S. This model, on a repeat of the same first backpacking trip, lasted two extra days without charging compared to the S's maiden voyage. That's in conjunction with a nicer screen, more accurate tracking, AND being paired to a phone in airplane mode for most of the trip. I recommend this watch to anyone looking for a step up in fitness tracking and basic smart watch capability, but not looking to break in to triathlon or mountaineering just yet.

I have had a different smartwatch for the past 7 years. I was questioning buying the Venu 3S, but the big selling point for me was the difference in battery life. Little did I know, it blew away the other competitor in so many aspects. I was tired of charging my watch every night and I am so happy to finally be able to track my sleep and wear my watch for 2 weeks without having to recharge. I was SHOCKED by the stats provided on running. As a healthcare worker, I am amazed at the detail of heart rate and sleep data provided by this watch compared to my last one. This is well worth the money! I questioned this purchase for months, and the only thing I can say is I wish I had bought it sooner. It is amazing!

The watch has a great battery life and super nice trackers. I like that I can see texts and other notifications on it. Having HRV and Blood oxygen monitoring is nice. As a climber, I really love that you can track climbing using the watch. Generally, I like it a lot and am excited to continue exploring the different features (I got the watch 3 weeks ago). Definitely check the features each watch has from Garmin before picking out which one you want.

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.

This watch feels like the Apple Watches big brother. I've been an Apple Watch owner since they came out but switched to Garmin for the longer battery life and cleaner look. The design of the watch is much more professional than many other smart watches on the market. The side buttons do take a few days to get used to, but after that it becomes second nature to efficiently control the watch. If you're looking for a smart watch upgrade, this is the one for you!

Watch has lots of glitches! If you have a pacemaker or ICD, it struggles to track sleep. It goes into sleep mode way before sleep mode should be on. Doesn’t go into sleep mode when it should at times. Other than that I love it. It’s comfortable, chic, light weight, does good with all other tracking features!
