It is a good product. I find it expensive, but you have a competetive price

Looks good, works perfectly

I’ve only had it for a day but the battery went from ********* % to 61%. That doesn’t seem like up to 10 days that feels like 3

I sweitched from apple to the garmin. I won't be going back to the apple, The battery life and finally being able to track ny sleep is awesom

I'm still learning some of the ins and outs of this watch. There are things that I really like about it (body battery, challenges, lifestyle tracking, I like the layout of the sleep tracking better, etc.) and things that I don't like (no longer able to ping my phone, no theater mode, less interactive media controls, and the fact that I'm unable being able to sync my google calendar since I don't use my phone's calendar). It is a beautiful watch. Big screen but feels sleek on my watch. When I had an apple watch I switched out my watch band before and after every shift at work and had one dedicated to swimming. That is not practical with this watch. The small pins are much harder to manipulate than the buttons on an apple watch. Honestly this is one of the most likely things to be my deal breaker. TBD on which way the scale tips, but for now I like this device enough that I'm sticking with it.

I’ve had my Garmin Venu S3 for about a month now and I love it. Holds a charge for days, tracks everything I want it to, I can see notifications from my phone, or I can turn them off. The step counter isn’t super accurate if you’re moving your arms around a lot but I mean that’s to be expected it’s a watch only wrist. Overall lover it’s. Good buy for the price.

Overall this version is a nice upgrade from the first series especially that they had a smaller dial size for my wrist size. I wish there are more Garmin pay card options I can load on the watch. Particularly for Amex and transit cards because being able to just tap with my watch would make it more comparable to Apple Watch to be able to tap and pay quickly through transit systems.

I recently switched from Fitbit to the Garmin Venu 3S, and I am extremely happy with the change. What has surprised me most is how useful the watch is in everyday life. I can glance at my wrist and see the weather and my next calendar event—two things I used to ask my Amazon Echo about constantly. Text notifications are also genuinely useful. When a website sends me a verification code, it appears right on my wrist instead of requiring me to go find my phone. I’m also enjoying the health and activity information much more than I expected. The Body Battery sounded gimmicky to me at first, but it has actually corresponded remarkably well with how energetic or depleted I feel. Intensity Minutes have been fascinating because they’ve shown me how much moderate activity I get simply from everyday life—yard work, stairs, and even my habit of attacking household chores in 15-minute bursts. I like being able to see my heart rate in real time and learn more about what my body is doing without having to treat every bit of movement as a formal “workout.” The watch itself is attractive, comfortable, and easy to customize. I’ve changed what appears on the watch face, adjusted how long the display stays on, customized buttons and shortcuts, and turned off features I don’t find useful. Battery life has also been good enough that charging it briefly while I shower works well for me. Not every Garmin metric is valuable to me. Sleep Coach hasn't told me anything particularly interesting, and I'm still deciding whether Recovery will be useful. But that's actually something I like about the Garmin: there is a lot available, and I can choose the information that matters to me rather than having to use everything. I bought the Venu 3S primarily as a replacement for my Fitbit. I didn't expect to enjoy it nearly this much. It has become one of those rare pieces of technology that makes several small parts of my day noticeably easier.

The golf app has not worked correctly since I bought it I can't get connected to the phone. The only way I was able to download one course was to reset to factory defaults. It worked ok for a year now it is not working again. The bluetooth conflicts with my car's bluetooth I can't have them both paired at tje same time it is a complete pain to use.

I won't say I hate the watch, but I'm not thrilled with it either. The biggest positive takeaway is the battery life. I can't see how anyone would complain about that. Beats my Apple Watch hands down. Now for the negatives... According to my Garmin Watch, I'm half dead. My body battery NEVER climbs above 50, even after sleeping. Which brings me to my next point. My sleep score is never above a 50. Whether I get 6 hours or 9 hours, my sleep is sometimes poor, most times fair, and only once or twice was it good. I rarely toss and turn, I never recall waking up, yet I can't seem to sleep well. When I wore an Apple Watch for the same thing, I seemed to have considerably higher scores. My stress levels run rather high as well, even though I am retired and have no stress that I am aware of. I average between 50 and 60 on a normal day, 100 while driving. (That one I can see). Truth is, I went with a Garmin for two reasons. One, the extraordinary battery life. The Apple Watch is harder to work with because I wear it all day, but then still want to wear it to bed to track my sleep. Charging can sometimes be an issue. There is no issue with the Garmin. The other reason I went with it is because after almost 20 years, I switched from iPhone to a Samsung/Android device that wouldn't have played well with my Apple Watch. I love the Android device, but wish the Garmin did more than it does. I also wish I had a way of knowing if the sleep, stress, and body battery results were anywhere near accurate.
