Did not think I would like this as I am old school with a regular wristwatch. This has changed my thoughts. This has motivated me to get off my butt and get moving. I cannot stand to ride a stationary bike at the gym, but this watch connects to the sensor on my road bike and I enjoy the results. Like the morning report on my sleep, or lack thereof. Perfect size to as I do not like big bulky watches.

I have had this watch for over 2 weeks and am so satisfied with the watch and its features. What drew me to this item was the round body and easy to read display. A friend(female) was sporting this brand and I really loved the look. I asked her several questions about ease of features and compatibility with an iPhone. She said it was compatible. I invested some time on reading up on this watch and went ahead and ordered it. I really am glad I did. I recommend buying this watch!!!!$

Had this for just about 3 weeks now and it is spot on accurate with everything you want it to do. Steps, calories, heart rate, sleep score, literally everything. Just figured out it pairs with Myfittnesspal and now it is allowing me to be so intune with my weight loss journey.

Definitely a change from my last watch! Love it overall! Love the data for sleeping, stress, daily morning report! Cons: having a hard time calibrating to the treadmill. It’s significantly off. I have to refresh frequently for the weather and sometimes won’t get notifications.

I bought this watch for a total of 4 days before returning. I had an Apple Watch for maybe 6-8 years so I am used to the features. I felt the garmin Venu 3s was not as comfortable as the Apple Watch. The band felt very cheap and I can see how they are prone to breaking. The find my phone application just shows how far away you are from your phone, however I couldn’t get it to ping which is very important to me. I was EXTREMELY disappointed by the other workout features like lifting and indoor rowing. I take a medicine to lower my HR so it’s very hard to get it elevated with workouts other than running. I did a rowing exercise for 30 min and it only counted 7. Then I lifted upper body for 30 min and it only counted as 3 min. I use those active minutes for a variety of apps including my insurance and I have to meet a quota of active minutes. With a torn hip labrum, I can’t run every day. I had no issues with Apple meeting these quotas. Also the lifting one was very confusing to use and did not seem accurate at all. Now to running, I actually didn’t hate the running portion. I hit the same mile markers I did for my Apple. I appreciate how quickly the garmin adjusted my pace when I was doing intervals. I did not like that the pace only showed 5 second increments though. Overall, it was pretty good if all you do is run with the watch! The battery life was amazing and definitely way better compared to Apple. If you are running ultras or are a super slow marathon runner, this watch may be worth it! I personally don’t mind charging my watch daily if needed. The sleep portion is completely inaccurate. I use an oura ring and it seems very accurate. I can match the time I go to sleep and wake up to compare what the oura says. Same if I was to wake up in the middle of the night and check my phone my oura knows I’m up. The garmin will sense that you are “sleeping” even if you’re scrolling on your phone for an hour. To me, that’s not accurate. It doesn’t get the naps accurately either. I wouldn’t use this to track sleep at all. Overall, this watch wasn’t worth it to me but I can see how some aspects are worth it to others! Maybe I needed a different garmin watch to meet my needs but I really liked the look of the Venu 3s. My husband also bought the Venu 3 at the same time I did and he returned his as well. Of note, he is a lifter and not a runner if that means anything! Do your own research but these were my pros and cons :)

I was an avid apple product person. iPad, iPhone, MacBook, AirPods and finally Apple Watch. I recently began my running journey and I made the switch to a garmin. It is 10495729395729 times better then my Apple Watch. It is more accurate. WAYYYYY better battery life and I don’t feel as attached to my phone. It’s truly a fitness device not just another phone.

This watch is amazing! I've used it for several months now. I use it to track my workouts, steps, sleep, HR, & SO MUCH more. It helps me to compete with me. It did take me a few weeks to get used to it and all the different things it offers. I think this is perfect for anyone who is looking to improve their health. You won't regret this purchase!!

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 bought this 3 weeks ago moving from a Fenix 5S mainly because of the price point. I also used the Apple Watch but I never fully enjoyed using it. I like what the Venu 3S has to offer so far. Still getting used to the features but metrics seem to be fairly accurate so far when compared to my Oura ring. Would recommend.

I had been using fitbit since 2019, and was going back and forth between a pixel and garmin. I read a variety of reviews and decided garmin seemed to fit my needs. I am very glad I went with them. This is a high quality and versatile watch that provides a lot of personalized information. It is a must have for anyone interested in biohacking and optimizing their time and performance. I can also download my spotify premium and use that for runs. I am so glad I went with garmin!
