Beautiful design, with the ability to customize its look. I've been using it for running, hiking, mountain biking, and the activity tracking has been great! The altimeter feature is why I chose this watch over others, but keeping the soft non-sporty look.

I researched a long time before I chose the Venu 3S. I have small wrists So most Fitness watches look like a hockey puck strapped to my arm. Not so with this watch. I love data, especially concerning my health. I’m an older (71 years old) guy who still enjoys all types of fitness activities, both in and out of doors. This watch lets me track every statistic. Plus, music storage and phone functionality. There is a learning curve, for sure. But, so WORTH IT!

I am so happy with the changes the venu 3s has made over my previous beloved 2s. The sleep and activity changes are awesome and I like the dim screen feature when you are sleeping. I use gps at least an hour each day and I’m getting 4+ days between charges. Nap tracking is problematic. Adding a manual nap option and clearer instructions would be helpful. Buying this was a good decision for me.

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.

Still learning all the features. Beautiful watch! I like that I can read the watch face in full sun where others I had faded away. It has many features that I will not use as my sporting activities have decreased. BUT, it keeps me mindful of what I do and what my body is doing. If I ever have to show a medical person, I have it right there. I like the daily affirmations! I feel I made a great investment!

I’ve been loving my Garmin 3S watch! It fits my small wrist perfectly—sleek and not bulky at all. The minimalist design goes well with almost any outfit, from casual to dressy. Plus, the battery life is amazing—I can go several days without needing to charge it, even with regular use. Super practical and stylish!

I bought the Garmin Venu 3S a few weeks ago after having an Apple Watch for almost five years. Although I loved the interface/sleek aesthetic of the Apple Watch (especially since I also have an iPhone), it really fell short on the health/fitness features I was wanting in a smart watch. I want to stay updated on my sleep health, VO2 max, HRV, and other related stats when training as it is a big part of my life. Although I enjoy running, I also do strength training, yoga, and other forms of cardio, so I ultimately chose this watch over the forerunner and LOVE IT! Battery life is amazing, especially given the bright, well-lit screen and continual notifications from having it linked to my phone.

My Dr recently placed me on a program that gave a free garmin smart watch, although a lesser one than this model. Seeing the benefits and capabilities of the lesser model, I decided to upgrade and I was not disappointed. I'm not very tech savvy, but the app takes care my questions.

I bought this watch to replace a Venu 2s that I had owned for two years (after owning many other vivo watches before.) This watch seems defective. Sleep monitoring has consistently (for a month) shut off before I actually wake up and not even triggered by a trip to the bathroom. Additionally, Garmin Pay is not working despite it working with the previous watch. There are some new features that seem intriguing; however, distracted by these daily nuisances that don't seem to work.

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.
