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.

Awesome watch, really love the sleep quality tracking. It has significantly helped my sleep schedule. Even though I might go to bed and wake up 9 hours later, some nights I only got 5hrs of actual sleep and the watch knows that. So it has really helped let me know when I am falling short. Only down side of this watch is that it has a weaker GPS than the running specific ones or the other athletic watches, so when starting an activity you usually have to wait for it lock in. Besides that, the battery life lasting a week is incredible!

I am enjoying the ease of use. I like all the features for tracking my overall health. I used it on a 16 mile day hike a couple weeks ago, and the GPS tracking was great as well as the tracking of all the health data points. I wish it would detect possible heartbeat arrhythmias in the background rather than having to open the ECG app to check. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the Wifi without going completely into power saver mode, which turns off a lot of other features I regularly use. I have had problems where it won't accurately track my heart rate when I'm on my indoor bike trainer. Other than these issues I am pleased with it and would get another Garmin watch again.

I made the switch from Apple Watch to this Garmin Venu 3s. I am so thankful I did. There is so much more to the fitness app, battery life is unreal lasting over 7 days!, and the watch is stylish. I comteplated and compared. I even ordered the new Apple Watch because I was worried about how the Garmin would work with my 16 pro iPhone. The very next day a coworker told me about her same dilemma and showed me her Venu 3s. I was sold and immediately returned the Apple Watch and ordered the Garmin. Best decision ever! Absolutely no syncing issues whatsoever. I will never go back to the Apple Watch again.

I had the Garmin Forerunner 45S for years but wanted more features. I bought the Apple Watch initially but disliked that it wouldn't hold a charge for more that 24 hours and the access to the features was a multi step process. I returned it and bought the Garmin Venu 3S. Best decision! There is nothing I don't like about it. Easy access to my activities and stats. Super fast to get to my steps, calories, heart rate, etc. I can choose my activity with a click of a button and go! Holds a charge for days! Which is great when you want to monitor activity and sleep. And the Venus 3S watch face is the same size as the forerunner 45S. Highly recommend!

I had very high expectations for this watch and it performs adequately. The battery lasts for under 4 days if you’re using all of the features, however, it does charge very quickly. I have been wearing it 24/7 for 2 weeks and have already managed to scratch the metal border around the face. A little disappointing when you spend so much money on something, but I tend to be hard on my jewelry so not entirely unexpected. Overall, I like it and am satisfied with my purchase.

Some features, such as weather, do not update in a timely manner. However, everything else is great! I use it to track runs, hikes, lifting, and climbing. I love all of the metrics from the fitness tracking. Also the sleep score and HRV data points are very insightful.

I have owned 2 Fitbits, 1 Spade and 4 and finally bought this Garmin Venu3s. I love it. So far it has been incredibly accurate and comfortable to wear. I love the traditional round face, instead of the unpredictable, mundane, rectangular one. I’ve only had it a few weeks, so hopefully it will hold up well. It was not hard to set up and personalize. Did I say I’m 78 and it was not difficult??

I love this watch. It does everything I wanted it to do and more. I upgraded from a Fitbit Versa 2. This far surpassed what I had. I love the body battery function. I feel the sleep tracking is more accurate. I love the good morning report. I like the workouts right on the watch but could use a little tweaking. Long battery life like 7 days depending on how much you use it. It stays connected to my phone. My Fitbit I constantly had to reconnect the Bluetooth. The watch is good quality band, clasps and watch itself

Going from a Polar Running watch to this, was way more than just a lateral move. This watch was a major upgrade. Upgrades to data was just a minor upgrade compared to the beauty and elegance of this watch. Would have been better if it had some diamonds going around the rim of the watch, but it’s fine. 😉My wife couldn’t be happier with this watch.
