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 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.

This garmin finally has voice control to answer calls on the watch (and respond to texts). Not necessarily a deal breaker but I'm glad Garmin finally did it! The best part is the vibrant display that is super easy to read! I'm loving all the "advice" throughout the day. Get up and move, rest (lol), etc. It's also a very pretty watch compared to my old 945. All in all I am so glad I went for it!!

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.

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 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.

I have had it for a few weeks. There are things I like and things I wish had need improved. The battery life is excellent! Wish they made it in square instead of the larger round. Also wish it had more of a selection of workouts. But the real reason I bought it is for F3 motorcycle app! I Love this app! You can’t get it on any other smart watch except for Garmin.

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 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 the watch about 3 weeks. I love the watch -- big improvement over my past fitbit watches. I'm happy garmin offered the 3S as I have a small wrist. I'm still learning the watch and get confused on how to interpret some of the data but that will come with more use. I'm not happy with the strength workout setting. I like to put the app on and go, not have to keep interfacing to tell it reps are complete. Otherwise no big issues. Battery life is better than expected so far.
