Great watch

I like this one much more than my old Venu SQ. It’s a better fit, less boxy, doesn’t suck the battery dry as fast, is compatible with my old watch face, has better features and better /more info on Connect. The features are easier to set up and the sync is way faster.

Perfect watch

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.

Very happy with Venu3S

This is my birthday gift (upgraded from a Garmin Vivomove). I was hesitated between Apple Watch and Venu3S, and very happy that I chose Venu3S. Long battery life (one charge can last a week), very accurate to pick up activities, Intensity minutes are much more accurate than Vivomove. I also love the ECG App. Surprisedly accurate on sleep and nap!

Perfect smart watch

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!!!

Nice watch, face does scratch very easy

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.

Don’t miss my Apple Watch!

I bought this approx 1 month ago to replace my Apple Watch (every day watch) & an older Garmin (my running watch and still working like a champ!). I wear my Venu3s all the time and am amazed at the features. It really confirmed how poorly I sleep so I’m trying to improve that. I thought I would miss my Apple Watch and how it pairs with my iPhone. I don’t at all. Get this watch!

Upgraded!

I used a vivoactive4s for 4 years, however I missed the capabilities of floors tracked. I didn’t realize all the other features I was getting when I upgraded to the Venu 3s!! The voice assistant helped so much being able to text my husband while nap trapped by my toddler. I LOVE the feature to edit your strength reps & weight after each set. The alarm setting scroll reduces the possibility for errors. Can’t wait to discover more features I love.

not so happy

I purchased the device which is not cheap at all. It’s a pity that there isn’t an automatic sync for contacts like there used to be in an old device I had. Also, it is still not possible to initiate viewing messages and/or sending messages from the watch to the mobile device.

Love the battery life

I purchased my Garmin venue 3s 2 weeks ago and I used to have the Google pixel watch. I absolutely love my Garmin watch over the pixel Watch. The battery is absolutely amazing! With my pixel watch sometimes I couldn't even go a full day without charging it and with this one I can go at least 6 days without charging .Not only that, it does a better job with tracking my activities and my steps. I am so happy that I switched.

Pros and Cons

I switched from Apple watch and I love some features but I've had to sacrifice others. Pros: Battery life! Unbelievable compared to Apple. With the battery life, I can track my sleep which is something I couldn't do. I also like the ability to track my HR, body battery, HRV, and all other aspects of health so easily. Cons: unable to respond to a text on the watch. This feature really is unfortunate. On the Apple watch, you can write letters and respond to a text with a unique statement or it has general statements such as "Thank you. Can I call you later?, Welcome." Etc. On the apple watch you can also like a comment or respond with a heart or !!. Another con, you have to open the garmin app to see the weather. I wish it automatically adjusted to my location and show me the weather without opening the app on my phone. If I have to open my phone, I might as well just use the weather app and look more in depth. The last thing, is I wish I could adjust some of the notifications I get on my watch. I get a lot of notifications on my phone that are not necessary on my watch. It's all or nothing on the watch. I either get all the notifications (news, sports, emails, texts etc) or nothing. On the Apple watch I can adjust and just get the important things - which are work emails, texts and calls. That way I am not distracted by constant vibrations throughout the day on my wrist. Overall, I think I am going to keep it but I'm a little disgruntled about some of these basic features that I lost by switching.
