I am loving my upgrade from my Venu 2S. The only thing is the screen and face scratch extremely easily. I am very very careful with my new watch (especially since I just got it) and it scratched within a few days. Which really stinks! Otherwise I totally love it. The data obtained is really in depth and accurate

This is my first smartwatch and I love it. There is a learning curve at first, but once you learn to navigate the screens, it's a breeze. That said, I have yet to enable all of the features as the number of them is still overwhelming. I'm petite and have small wrists and the watch does not feel too large. The French gray is basically taupe, but it's a great versatile color. I have it set to always-on with low brightness and can typically get 4 days out of a battery charge. As a new smartwatch user, the Venu3s has exceeded my expectations.

I’m eating a jar of pickles with my 32 ounces of water to see if I can avoid a headache today from running outside Every Saturday since I got this stupid watch (June, Houston) I have a headache all day bc I have to run outside for VO2Max reading. Without this watch I would never go outside between March-November. Sure, I look cool with the stylish face options and sleep band and I wake up already feeling accomplished by my sleep score. And I am really enjoying the nap feature, morning wake up alarm and tracking all my cardio and strength training in one spot. I should be hiding inside at a safe 72F but the VO2Max reading is such a temptress. Maybe pickles will help.

I’ve had the Venu 3s for several weeks and I love almost EVERYTHING about it. It does everything I need it to do. However it doesn’t seem to know my FTP and I cannot find any way to change that number. So while I can use it with my powermeter and it displays the data it’s “analysis” is completely skewed which sort of makes training with power useless with this device. Kind of hard to believe actually…

I have used my venu 3s for about 3 weeks now. I love the data that it stores. It is easy to read. I love the sleep suggestions and body battery, it helps me understand why I didn't perform as well as I thought I SHOULD. It helps me set goals to try to continue to improve my health and performance. I am quite disappointed with the text messaging capability (or lack thereof) with iPhone users. I am not going to make all of my family and friends download a messaging app and create accounts. We need an update to where it can talk to iPhones and we can use the watch to text back. That is my only issue with this watch.

I've been a fitbit user for over a decade & finally made the switch b/c I took on the challenge to run a marathon. We'll that may not have been my best decision this watch truly is. Besides great running feature. Love the stress/ body battery. Love how my msgs/ emails appears. At times with a photo. So many features, I haven't worked through all of them. Downside is the strength training tracker. I have a difficult time using it

I really love this watch. Easy to use, the face is beautiful and the apps and features are amazing. I am returning due to lack of being able to upload maps (I didn't know it wasn't offered on this device and trail run often). If you dont need maps but you're looking for a wonderful piece of wellness tech.

I’ve had an Apple Watch for years but was tiring of always adjusting notification settings, working towards a seemingly random “move” goal, and then it started shutting down in cold weather activities, robbing me of tracking abilities. I research and polled my athletic friends and coaches, overwhelmingly being pointed in the direction of Garmin. The Venu 3S met my sport tracking requirements, and the battery life and a health features pushed me to choose it over an Apple Watch. After a month with it, I can easily say I won’t go back. I love the precision of watch features, how appealing it looks, and mostly I love that I can better control annoying phone notifications so I’m less distracted and anxious throughout my days. This watch has been a dream and I look forward to many happy years with my Venu!

Bought this a month ago after years of an Apple Watch. I love the style and the easy readability of the face watch. The stats are helpful. It’s easy to use for running and general workout ms for fitness tracking. It has more than I need but not too much that I can’t navigate it. And the battery lasts a week!!!

I've been looking at this product for about 9 months. I researched it then thought about it, table the idea then do it all over again. I finally took the plunge a couple weeks ago. What a great product! It does way more than I need but what I do use is great. What really sold me is that I'm not required to "subscribe" after some trial period to keep getting data. It is fairly easy to navigate. The app could be a little more user friendly for the data pertaining to health and performance. But once I went through the maze of options, I found my own niche. And it would be nice if it had its own stand-alone food and calorie log rather than having to use an outside app. (I always hate feeling pressured to go "premium" for every little thing.) I love how well it helps you to understand the data collected and it helps you to improve in whatever it is you are needing. The sleep information is very informative. Styling- It looks great, it's not heavy nor bulky. The silicone band is a good size for smaller wrists. It's large enough to see without readers. The screen lighting isn't too bright so it isn't disruptive when you look at it during those restless nights. But it's easily seen during the day, even outdoors. Overall, I'm completely sold on the Garmin Venu 3S and have zero regrets on this purchase.
