I have had my Garmin Venu 3s for a couple weeks and I absolutely love it. The battery life, sleep tracking, and my favorite feature is being able to program my own workouts in the app and be able to record my sets, reps, weight, and rest time all from my watch during my workout!

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 got rid of my Fitbit as my daily fitness tracking and am now using my Venu3s. I use my Garmin Edge 840 for cycling and Fenix6 for multisport. The Venu3s is comfortable and does everything that I wanted and does it better than other fitness tracking. I am glad that went this path.

The Venu works great. I bought it to get the ECG feature. I like that and the other data I'm getting. The watch also works great for tracking most of the info I want related to my running workouts. However, I didn't realize that it doesn't give me all of the data that I was getting on my Forerunner. I no longer have info on the primary benefit of the run (threshold, base, etc.), and I no long have my training status. It would be really nice if Garmin could put the heart data and the running data on one watch, because I don't think any of the current offerings give me everything I want in one package.

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 wanted a watch with a little more than the basics”; track my steps; analyze my sleep; weather. I don’t need a womens watch that keeps trying to track my menstrual cycle. In this day and age we all know how problematic that is. Remove this feature STAT! And then I’ll have only good things to say about my Venu watch.

I bought this roughly a month ago. I upgraded from the venu 2s, which I also loved. This one is better. I love the tracking feature for lifting, it has made lifting way easier and I don't have to worry about it ending things before they actually need to be. I like the sleep coach feature, it's helped a lot. I also really like the traning/rest feature, it's been super helpful with my training. Overall, it's a great watch and I'm really glad I made the choice to upgrade.

I like the features but haven't truly used many of them yet as I've only had the watch for a short time. I am a bit disappointed in that the battery life isn't quite what it was described to be. Once I start using the features, I'm nervous that I'll be back to charging my watch (almost) daily, which was the main reason I switched to Garmin so I wouldn't have to worry about charging it so frequently.

Overall I love this watch. Great features. Awesome battery life. Sensers seem more accurate then previous Garmin watch. Was a nice upgrade from my vivosmart4. Only complaint is the watch face scratches very easy. Less then 2 days out the box I had 3-4 noticeable fine line scratches across the face. I figured out it came from rubbing on the wood edge of my desk. My previous vivosmart4 that I wore everyday never scratched sitting at same desk.

So far it’s meh. I like the fitness features but it does not compare to the Apple Watch in terms of its other features. I can’t figure out how to make alerts stop on my phone when I’m wearing the watch. It’s not very user friendly to set up. I wish it integrated better with Apple phone. For me, it’s just an expensive fitness watch as I still need my Apple Watch for other things.
