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've only had this watch for 2 weeks and I'm really enjoying it! There are so many things this watch can do that it's going to take some time to learn all the ins and outs. Right now I'm primarily using it for golf and my workouts and it's awesome!

I'm an engineer and impressed with the features and the way they are integrated. So many things packed in and they all function easily and well. Well done Garmin. Can't say the same for their marine products which have integration issues. Getting back to the watch I do have one item that could be better which is the music service access which is a bit hidden. It works well, however.

I have always had an Apple Watch...ever since the first one came out. I decided to try something else. I love this watch. It is less cluttered and easy to use. I run, bike, ect and I love the metrics on this watch. I works seamlessly with my iPhone as far as getting messages ect.

I worked at Apple for so long and had an Apple Watch, truly bc there is no other watch with such faster speed and compatibility w iPhone. But 18 hours of battery is not enough!! And it’s almost like the AW is built to break…Also you do not get features like blood oxygen/stress levels/ fitness age and moreee. Venu 3 Features/battery/style and so much more…BUT…one thing I don’t really like is that is more than difficult to swap out bands

I spent quite a bit of time reviewing various watches and ended up choosing the Garmin Venu 3s and I’m so glad I did! I love it! Pros: Excellent battery life Great metrics Good app Very comfortable, this was important bc I don’t like wearing watches and this one disappears on me. I can’t tell it’s there It looks great! Accuracy Cons: None I wish the connection App had some more versatility but it’s pretty great so I’m just being picky

I was looking for a watch that had both solid health and activity features and landed on the Venu 3 as a happy medium. After 2 months of wearing it I feel like I prefer the Venu 3s much more than my previous Vivoactive. It works well on outdoor activities, but can get complicated when using indoor training platforms. You will benefit from buying the HRM Pro Plus if you plan to not wear it during a work out of if you use Zwift. The health and sleep features all seem pretty accurate. I rarely have to adjust the sleep data. The calls and music features work well and the activity options are extensive. The battery life is awesome for the amount of work outs I track on it. The current issue I have with it is more of a sensor and software problem with the new naps feature. It constantly says I'm taking naps during the day while doing focused reading and there is no way to delete them. I contacted Garmin about this issue and they said it is something they are working on. Smaller issue though for the great features you do get.

I bought this about a month ago and have been wearing three weeks. I love the features it has and how accurate the information is. I will say that while the features are amazing, the more you have on and use the faster the battery drains. I get 7 days with auto activity, heart rate, and minimal notifications during the day and pulse ox running only at night. Shy of 10 days but better than the 3 days I was getting out of my Fitbit Luxe. I find it super comfortable to wear and not as intrusive as I was worried about it being. I just love it.

I got this watch for Christmas because I wanted a fitness watch that would track my calories for my calorie deficit. It performs perfectly. It shows me all of my notifications, and I can answer calls on it. I can preview messages and all. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the battery life.. Not to be confused, the battery life is still much better than my Apple Watch was, but I do have to charge it about every three days. I’m sure I could remove certain features to preserve the charge between recharges but this is just my experience with the basic setup. This watch is a very nice upgrade from my Apple watch and gives me great results. I’m greatly pleased with this watch.

The watch has a great battery life and super nice trackers. I like that I can see texts and other notifications on it. Having HRV and Blood oxygen monitoring is nice. As a climber, I really love that you can track climbing using the watch. Generally, I like it a lot and am excited to continue exploring the different features (I got the watch 3 weeks ago). Definitely check the features each watch has from Garmin before picking out which one you want.
