This watch is so beautiful and I love the features it comes with, all of the activity options, its waterproof, the sleep mode, etc. BUT... I don't think this watch likes apple products that much! When I first got the watch I stopped receiving text messages which I needed because I work in EMS so can't always have my phone in my hand. When I looked online trying to figure out a solution there was not much online and all that was online I attempted to do. I finally restarted the device and started receiving my text again. I was just a bit annoyed given how much I've spent on this watch. One thing I also don't like is when I have my watch on I wish my actual phone wouldn't make noise, just my watch when receiving a text or social media notification. Like apple watch, when your phone is connected to it and when its on your wrist, the phone itself doesn't make noise, just the watch. So due to Garmin not having that feature its convenient when I get a call but my hands are busy and I cannot silence my phone... Lastly, I dislike when I'm a certain feet away from my phone, the phone disconnects to my watch. Sometimes I run into the store and leave my phone in and within feet my phone disconnects from my watch and I do not like that! Aside from those things, I love the watch when I workout and have no complaints in that aspect.

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.

The only down fall that I have found so far is that I can't connect it to my phone carriers network (Verizon). Also that I can't be more then 30 ft from my phone to get calls and texts. I'm a very busy and don't want to carry my phone everywhere I go.

There are many features to recommend this product, and it's fairly intuitive, especially if, like me, you've had a lot of Garmin watches. I like the night snooze option, and morning wake up feature. I selected this watch because I do a wide variety of sports and activities which this watch covers, and particularly wanted a watch that tracked floors, which not all my Garmin watches do. However, I find that the floor tracking is hit or miss, despite the fact we have extra tall ceilings, so the stair case is long. This disappoints me because I do the stair challenges on Garmin Connect. I've also been frustrated with the swim lap tracker, as it misses at least one lap out of every 20, often more. Sometimes it doesn't record them at all. That's disappointing after paying a fair amount for the product. Despite those particular aggravations, overall I'm pleased with the watch.

I got this as a Christmas gift and absolutely love it!!! It’s sleek and prerty but also useful. The screen is very crisp and bright. Going from the Fenix 7s to this and glad I made the change. Loved the Fenix but didn’t take advantage of all the bells and whistles.

I had been an Apple Watch user for around 10 years so I was hesitant to switch to anything else. After having my Garmin for over a month now I’m so glad I made the transition. I originally got it for training for a half marathon, but now I’ve come to love ALL of its features such as my sleep score, body battery, recovery time, long battery life, accurate heart rate tracker, etc. This watch has helped me pay attention to my health and feel stronger & properly recovered for a workout instead of “closing rings” like I did with my Apple Watch. I fully recommend to this everyone!

I purchased this smart watch a month ago and overall I am happy that I did. The sleep tracker seems pretty accurate as does the overall step tracker. I have enjoyed some of the pre-programmed activities too. I have to charge it about once a week. I have to take a star away as I like to check the weather when I first wake up and because the watch hasn't synched with my phone while sleeping, this feature is unavailable. Seems to have to sync to the phone more frequently than my previous version. Also take note that the EKG monitoring feature is not available in all geographic locations; something that was not disclosed when I purchased the watch.

I got rid of my Fitbit as my daily fitness tracking and am now using my Venu3s. I use my Garmin Edge 840 for cycling and Fenix6 for multisport. The Venu3s is comfortable and does everything that I wanted and does it better than other fitness tracking. I am glad that went this path.

I've always wanted a Garmin watch, but was very physically uncomfortable with every style I had tried on ( I have a very narrow wrist and the large faces would sit oddly and/ or put pressure on my bones) this watch has been extremely comfortable, low profile and not catching on things during my month-long Wilderness EMT training, and has all the great tech benefits that I am still learning more / better ways to use. Very happy!

This watch feels like the Apple Watches big brother. I've been an Apple Watch owner since they came out but switched to Garmin for the longer battery life and cleaner look. The design of the watch is much more professional than many other smart watches on the market. The side buttons do take a few days to get used to, but after that it becomes second nature to efficiently control the watch. If you're looking for a smart watch upgrade, this is the one for you!
