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.

Few minor concerns but overall a great watch

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.

Almost perfect

This product is hands down 100% better than it's Fitbit equal, only regret is that it took me so long to switch. This fitness watch is feature rich and sometimes overwhelming so. Battery life was great until I switched to read pulse ox now i have to charge every 3 days that's a choice. I wish I had more options to display the data in the app. They updated and now I can only view information in their display style. Unlike Fitbit it's hard to cheat steps which is good swinging your arm doesn't work. It's great when I've gone swimming! Overall I love it but wish it was easier to get help on how to fully take advantage of all the features.

Pretty Good

I've had this watch for over a year and it's truly an upgrade from my vivoactive. I enjoy being able to respond to calls and text messages on my watch. The connectivity between the phone and watch for calls could however be improved, it would also be great to be able to add a cellular service in the future. Battery life is great, possibly my favourite feature, Im very active (5 days a week 40 mins) and the battery lasts for at least 7days. One thing I miss from older models is being able to skip music on Spotify, I'd like to see some changes that enable that again even if through the notification bar.

Great but could be better

I’ve had this for roughly six months I like it but I have some issues with it. The screen scratches kinda easily which is upsetting since I know some of their other watches don’t. Also if I rush my teeth it counts it as steps which then gives me an inaccurate number while some of their other watches don’t like the Fenix. Other than that I have enjoyed it.

Worst watch I have ever encountered

This watch does NOTHING that was advertised. You cannot answer calls, cannot see text messages, does not interface with most apps including its own. You cannot edit watch faces that are supposedly editable. It’s a complete fail and they should not be selling watches at all if this is their product. Returning this NOW!!!!

Good all around watch

Replaced my Apple Watch. I’m still familiarizing myself with the system, but so far I like it. It’s got better data for exercises outside so I prefer that to Apple. I haven’t quite figured out how to get a clock face that has the data I need, but it’s close. Great sleep data. Hard to see overall summary unless you’ve got it saved somewhere and I also had to figure out how to change the face to have watch battery. So, to summarize: I prefer the garmin for exercise data and summary. The apple was easier to customize the watch face to give you data you want quick access to.

Light and easy to use

I had the garmin narrow fit band and this on caught my eye, it came on sale and I ordered it, had buyers remorse but after a few days use I like it very much. So light you don't notice it on your arm. Many features and I just use a few. No problems at all so far.

Beautiful smartwatch and great features

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!

Excellent daily driver!

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!
