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!

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.

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.

As someone who was a Fitbit girly for a decade, I was so nervous to make the switch to a Garmin. After a year of research, I opted to get the Venus 3s and after having it for just 4 weeks, I am upset I didn’t switch sooner! The aesthetic of the watch is classy, it has a long last battery, and is far more accurate in its measurements than other smart watch.

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!

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.

When the battery on my Vivosport sputtered I upgraded to a Venu 3s. It is more attractive and has colored icons & indicator. I like the timer's upgraded features. The activity tracker is not as helpful; it has no 'other' category and seems to want to impose a method of tracking activity that doesn't match what I'm doing. For example, for Pilates it doesn't show time and calories & doesn't accommodate an in-person class. I don't want to stop what I'm doing to track it. Also, the battery was advertised as lasting10 days; my last about 3. Overall, I like it.

I used to be a Fitbit fan, however when my fourth Fitbit in 11 years died, I decided that I would look for another sport watch and I am delighted I found the Garmin Venu 3S. In every way, my Garmin outperforms the Fitbit, offers more programming options and adds music and other features to the sports watch that Fitbit cannot even touch. Long story short, throw out your Fitbit and buy a Garmin!

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 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.
