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.

I bought my Garmin Venu 3S about a month ago primarily for health/fitness tracking and I am training for my third marathon this summer. Previously I was using an Apple Watch. Some of the features I like: Body Battery, Stress, Sleep Data, Recovery, and the watches battery life is great. The thing I'm super bummed about is I thought the Garmin Coach would have a marathon plan for me to use right on the watch. Unfortunately I found out the plans only go up to half marathon unless I want to logon to Garmin Connect and find a self guided plan to use on my phone... Considering marathon training is the whole reason I bought the watch and runners always say how great Garmin is I was shocked and sad by this finding so I can't rate it better than a 3 star.

I really enjoy my garmin! I have been a Fitbit user for over 10 year and finally switched. There are a few things I think Garmin should try to implement that I felt even Fitbit did better. For example the alarm. Fitbit would set alarm off when you were in a light cycle of sleep where Garmin only does the exact time. Garmin also doesn’t register a workout or “vigorous activity” if you forgot to start your watch. But over all sooo happy with it.

This watch has lived up to my expectations and more. Seems to have very accurate data collection, easy to read screen and the app makes life very easy. The only downside is the battery life is not 14 days more like 8, for me this is not a big deal. Highly recommend also very stylish.

I bought this watch a month ago after reviewing it for a bit, and, so far I love it! Main reason for changing from an IWatch was the battery life! Really like the sleep feature and the body battery feature.also, the ability to customize my heart zones. Haven’t used it outside for hiking or biking yet but looking forward to it.

I recently upgraded to the Garmin Venu 3 from the Venu 2 Plus, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! While I initially hesitated to switch because of how satisfied I was with the Venu 2 Plus, the Venu 3 exceeded all my expectations. The software and design feel familiar yet refined, making the transition seamless. Activity tracking is flawless, and the GPS connects almost instantly, perfect for my 2–5-mile runs and cycling. The sleep and body battery features accurately match my energy levels and help me plan my days better. It’s the perfect balance of style, functionality, and reliability. Whether upgrading or getting your first smartwatch, the Venu 3 is an investment I’d recommend to anyone—it truly enhances both fitness tracking and overall health insights.

The venu 3s is a good smart watch. I loved how light it was and elegant it looked. It has amazing tracking features, but the reason for me switching to the Epix pro gen 2 sapphire edition was because the venu 3s doesn’t do custom workouts and I looked at videos over and over again and even went to the Garmin website and it just kept saying that it was because this was an outdated watch. I love to do a lot of outdoor rugged activities and this watch was just too fragile for me. You HAVE to buy a screen protector case for it because otherwise it scratches easily and I don’t like that at all. It just didn’t suit my preferences but overall the watch is still a great watch! I just felt like if I’m going to switch from Apple Watch to a Garmin and spend a good amount of money on a watch that actually did what I wanted then why not go with the Epix pro.

I had the forerunner 265 and wanted something less “sporty” looking. I looked into this one and did research on it and decided to take the plunge. So glad I did. This watch is amazing. Clear, crisp screen, battery life is great, love the look of it, love all the features. It makes my forerunner look like a kids watch. Very happy with my purchase.

I bought this a a month or so ago now, and I absolutely love it. The amount of information that you receive, its so light, the battery charge is great. I am also a yoga fitness instructor and it’s really helpful as far as timing, music etc. I can control it off from the watch.

Fun features but phone App control is just another app to log in to and manage. Wish instructions for watch and the control features for things like volume were more easily accessible from the get go. The face scratches easily and Bluetooth connection makes the battery go down quickly. I can maybe get 2 or 3 days with Bluetooth and updates on. Wish garmin was clearer on capabilities and what devices work with specific products and that they wouldn’t charge for apps.
