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 have the Venu Sq and really liked it, but I was missing out on new features like being able to talk and text through my watch. So, I thought about buying the Venu 3S for quite a while. I wish I didn't wait so long because the Venu 3S is fabulous! Not only can I talk and text through it, but I can keep track of my heart rhythm. I thought it would be too big for my wrist, but surprisingly it isn't. I really like that they kept the "Face-It" so I have my grandson's picture on it. I'm still getting used to all the features and we're they are located, but I am very happy with it.

This is my second Garmin. I had the Venue for many years and loved it but ready for something newer. This Venus 3S is very easy to use as it has a lot of better features and easy to figure mount as it is totally different in a good way. No complaints at all much better for me then the Apple Watch that I was dedicated to in the past.

I love not having to charge daily like I did with my apple watch, but I miss being able to reply to my text messages from my watch. Hoping they come out with a model in the future that is cell enabled and allows messaging and phonecalls without having to carry my phone when out for a run or a hike.

The watch is everything they say it is. I love the body battery and detailed sleep stats. Also looking forward to tracking HRV levels. The only thing I had to set up again on the new watch is loading my custom running mix MP3s, and setting up the Data Screens for running to my prefs.

I bought this watch just so I can actually monitor my sleep and not worry about charging it throughout the night! This watch ‘yells’ at me to get up a move which is funny and does help even though I sit at work and get up whenever I have a patient(phlebotomist). I unfortunately had to buy a new bad because I think i’m allergic to it same as the apple ones. there’s so many things I haven’t used yet for this watch. that i’m excited for. like to get back into my swimming, trying to start back running, just move my body in general. the price isn’t bad either especially since I bought it on sale. the size is perfect, I do wish we had more customization for the watch faces and that they didn’t cost money too. other than that I wish I can make a widget for the garmin sucks I can’t do that. sometimes the pairing cuts off too but not that often. however the find my phone doesn’t always work when I need it.

I bought this only because I was tired of having to charge my iWatch so often. The Venu 3s allowed me to quickly see my sleep score, steps in the day and reminds me to be kind to myself. It’s the most encouraging “tracker” I’ve ever used and I’ve been loyal to an iWatch for 20+ years.

I have had a Fitbit for nearly 20 years and the product has gone so much so I decided to try Garmin Venu 3S for about a month now. No issues so far and I am still learning all the features. I do wish there were Disney watch faces that didn’t cost additional $.

It does not recognize most of my day naps and sleeps. It sometimes misses to even know about night sleep too. It has ghost steps that I realized when I wake up with some 50 or 70 steps. I think hardware at about 90% off the cost would do better job.
