In all honesty, I'm not too impressed with the watch, I switched from an Apple Watch to better track not only my activities but my sleep as well. It tracks my runs great! I've only had it once or twice where my distance won't align with my running partners but that could also be user error. When it comes to tracking sleep, it's about 50/50 on if it will record or not. The watch face is also very prone to scratches so if you are in the military like myself, perhaps a different version would be best. Hope this helps!

I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago. I had a vivoactive 4s before and had really like that. The Venu 3s is an even better watch. The screen is brighter and easier to read. The battery life is excellent. I like that it measures my pulse ox, gives me a HRV status, and sleep score, among other things. It also gives more information about each category that can be read from the watch. I can use Siri right from my watch and the sound is pretty good. I can play music, which I don’t really use. I can also answer a phone call from my watch. Because I have an iPhone, I’m not able to reply to texts or see pictures if included in texts. I use the walking, pickleball, yoga, golf, and Pilates activities. The pickleball app can use gps while outdoors, which is kind of comical when looking at the activity when it’s done. Overall, I’m very happy with this watch.

I bought this smartwatch because the advertised battery life is much longer than comparable devices; I have the 37mm so it's 10 days. It's brand new, but the battery lasts me about 7 days. This is quite dissapointing for me. I have a simple watch face without any movement, lowest display brightness, pulse ox off, wrist heart rate on auto but not broadcasting and off swim, move Iq on, orange shift on, display always on is off, sleep mode on at night. I have turned off everything that I don't use, but I don't want to turn off wrist heart rate and move iq because what's the point of having a fancy watch if I turn off these nice features. It's very misleading to say that the battery life is 10 days. Otherwise, I find that the UI is not super intuitive. When I look at the daily totals for caloris and steps, I want to see the exact numbers for each day, not just a graph. I feel like the market is missing a watch with less whistles and bells but has a longer battery life. I considered the Scanwatch but I really disliked that I couldn't connect it to siri.

So far it’s meh. I like the fitness features but it does not compare to the Apple Watch in terms of its other features. I can’t figure out how to make alerts stop on my phone when I’m wearing the watch. It’s not very user friendly to set up. I wish it integrated better with Apple phone. For me, it’s just an expensive fitness watch as I still need my Apple Watch for other things.

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.

I got my venu 3s back in January and love it. Previously I had first venu and the 3s does not disappoint. I love the data I get each day and the ability co sutomize my app screen. My only wish is that as a night shifter the sleep advice I get is definitely shifted towards people with a normal schedule though it does pick up my daytime sleep unlike the first venu. A great watch for keeping an eye on your health and activity levels

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.

I recieved this as a gift from my daughter/ husband. Garmin Venu 3S is a great choice for those wanting to monitor their fitness and health. This watch is so accurate with its fitness tracking and supports such a wide range of activities. Plus, those who need motivation like me, Garmin watch rewards users with badges for hitting specific milestones. Furthermore, my favorite feature allows users to join challenges either individually or with friends. This definitely helps push me to be more active and monitor my progress. These features just make it more fun and engagaging. In addition, has smartwatch features such as notification of calls, texts, emails and app alerts, music and so much more. I just love it!

I love my garmin Venue S3 so much! It’s an absolutely beautiful more sleek edition which I love (somewhat of a girly girl) and I still get all the benefits of an advanced sports/atheltic/outdoorsy watch along with it being waterproof, tracking sleep, menstruation and the list goes on! The only downside I can mention is that I can’t figure out how to download music from my Spotify to the Spotify on my watch. Went through all the steps to add it to my watch etc but it keeps rebooting or unloading my apps. I would love help from Garmin with this!! 10/10 recommend best watch I’ve ever owned, thanks to my husband for the birthday gift.

I received this watch as a gift about a month ago. I had a garmin 245 music and wanted to upgrade to a watch with a few more smart watch features. I am blown away by everything it can do! I love the strength training program that displays right on the watch face, the sleep and HRV tracking is great.
