There are some very nice features, including a crisper screen that I can read better without bifocals. But, the golf app, my primary use, is much worse than my Vivo Active 4S. The distances often don't update as you move away from the tee box. It may even show the entire length of the hole as you are near the green. Shot tracking is terrible. Drives appear to go all the way to the green, despite second and third shots being recorded from the correct place. When distances do show correctly, they are usually 5 yds long. Also disappointing that it's not compatible with the CT1 sensors. Swimming seems OK, but doesn't recognize breast stroke. I'm hoping software updates will improve the apps, but at this point I miss my old Vivo Active 4S.

For what it cost, it could be better. Voice assistant is nice but doesn't always connect/work. It hasn't detected a to nap yet. It does seem to track my steps, GPS, and heart rate during cardio well. Battery last 5 days with pulse ox on during sleep. I suggest going with vivoactive 5 if you don't need voice assistant/mic.

I have always been an Apple girl. I ordered the Garmin Venu3, it has so many always features but not for me. It wasn’t compatible well with the health and wellness app I use. It was delayed and didn’t add steps correctly to the app. I did decide to send it back.

I’ve had my watch for about 2 weeks and I really love using it. It’s great at tracking my sleep, steps, and other health information! My only complaint would be that it scratches super easy. I wore my watch the first day to my desk job and it scratched right away. I don’t even know what I could have possibly done to have scratched it so I just want to warn you that you need to be careful when using this watch.

I've had my Garmin Venu 3s for almost a month. I've only had Fitbit in the past and the features of my Garmin are vastly superior. I do, however, take issue with the stated battery life of upwards of 14 days. In order for me to go beyond 6 days without having to charge, I cannot have wifi on, see my heart rate or track my sleep, or connect to my phone. These are features I want available daily, and should be stated in your advertising that the long battery life is if you go bare bones on the features. I like my watch and its functions, but have accepted the fact that I need to charge every 6-7 days (or even more, depending on how often I use the GPS).

I came from being an avid Apple Watch fan, and the SE model. I was influenced by all the content from other apple users online to get the watch. I'm just really REALLY disappointed and sad that there is no way to backlog alllll my data from Apple Health or my Fitness account. There's some ways around importing your walks, runs, and cycling, but not my YEARS of data. If I try not to think about it or dwell on it too much then it's fine.

My watch was a Christmas gift from my grandchildren. I have worn a Fitbit since they came out until I started to explore other options. This watch does everything plus more than what my Fitbit ever did. Every day, I learn something new that this watch can do. I would highly recommend this watch.

Great product by Garmin, that's also a great value. I've been using Fenix watches for all my climbing and mountaineering activities. I got this for my wife for regular usage and health monitoring. Garmin is the best for health stats, and with excellent battery life, allows you to wear it overnight to capture most important stats. I've been pleasantly surprised at the battery life on this unit, which has a great screen as well. It's not as high as Fenix, but holds up for over a week. The new heart rate sensor is excellent as our all the new metrics on stress and reminders to calm down and take a breath. Great watch. Highly recommended.

This is an amazing smartwatch! While in the surface it seems more expensive than some of its competitors, the fact that I don't have to pay a monthly fee for ordinary features that should be free, this is much cheaper long term than others and reviewers should consider that in their reviews (they don't). Sturdy and beautiful it works seamlessly with my Pixel 7 and the fact that it uses standard quick release watch bands makes the options endless! I can change out the look at will! Garmin outdid themselves with this one.

I bought the Garmin Venu 3S for hiking, walking, volleyball, and skiing. I found the GPS to pick up signal quickly, activity tracking to be intuitive, and sleep metrics were a plus. Ivory with soft gold bezel design in the 3S size was elegant enough to wear to work and durable enough to wear on rock scrambles, in sand and through sweat. Overall I was pleased to upgrade from a Forerunner 235.
