I love the look of the watch. However, it is difficult to use. I downloaded the manual, and it will take me a while before I can successfully use it the way I need to. I wish I could find a place where I can receive hands-on instruction so I can get more familiar with it easier.

Llevo 2 semanas con este reloj. De lo peor. Lo que menos te da es la hora. No si activa rapido sino que tienes que hacer la ola con el brazo para que te de la hora. Tema nado: es de lo menos intuitivo además que estando mojado, la pantalla táctil es inútil. Ahora si, es hermoso, súper delicado… El reloj anterior Instinct 2 s fue espectacular, lástima que los colores ahora eran solamente de masculinos…

Left my "fruit" watch for Garmin. Absolutely LOVE it!! Size, shape and functionality. It's easy to learn and use. Paired well with my iPhone, and works seamlessly with my Edge. Best of all? The battery life! 7+ days (It would easily last 10) I truly don't see myself returning to the fruit watch.

I bought my watch a month ago and love it! Understanding my sleep and how my diet has affected it is amazing! I love knowing how my body recovers. Only thing that is way off is calories burned during some of the exercise modes - I don't worry about those as much as my step count!

I've had the venu 3s for a few months now and absolutely love it! It was my upgrade from an older forerunner. I love the features of it and battery life. Despite it being a model that's viewed as more lifestyle geared, I feel it works great for runners as well. It's worked great for me with training and activity tracking.

I upgraded from a Venu to a Venu 3S and I’m enjoying the additional features. I am a bit disappointed that it is advertised as being able to receive text photos but that doesn’t appear to be an option with iPhone messaging. Feels a bit deceptive.

I’ve had this for one month, and tested various workouts on it. I LOVE that I don’t have to charge this every day like an Apple Watch, I love all the health AND fitness data it gives me, and obviously the aesthetic look. I’ve been trying to sway ever person I can on getting this over an Apple Watch. 10/10, would recommend!

This smartwatch offers the user a dressy alternative to the Apple watch and other Garmin activity watches. With its touchscreen scrolling and easy ability to navigate texts, the watch helps bridge the gap between apple watch functionality while offering great battery life and Garmin superior activity tracking. I've used the Garmin 945 LTE and fenix 5 which both lack the touch screen scrolling and ability to respond to texts and phone calls (android only) The only thing that will make the Venu better is the ability to respond to text while connected on the Iphone.

I am gradually getting the hang of this watch. I'm disappointed because despite including "platform tennis" and "archery", there is no horse riding on this. (which was explicity why I bought it. I must have read wrong, but I'm not an idiot. I think the specs are presented in a confusing manner.) I would also appreciate a "search" button on the app, because it's hard to find something that may have popped up as an FYI earlier. i.e. it's not really intuitive.

My original watch was wearing out. I didn't look at any other brands but researched Garmin diligently for an upgrade that was right for me. Chose the Venu 3S over the Fenix 8 by a narrow margin. Still learning the new aspects but loving my decision. Really like the new features and the old ones with new twists/graphics. Only wish at this point is that syncing to phone was easier and we got notifications of software updates instead of finding out by needing to re-sync.
