Great metrics, great battery life, super stylish/sleek design. Bought this watch to use for tracking runs. After the first couple days I was surprised by how many other great features it has. I especially like seeing how my heart rate compares to the different activities throughout my day. One interesting feature is the body temperature change overnight while sleeping. I would advise anyone who wants to invest in a nice fitness watch that doesn't look bulky/too sporty to buy this watch.

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!

I bought this watch to replace my Garmin Forerunner, and expected to just use it for exercise. I have never worn a daily tracker in my life, and have always disliked the look and the idea of constant distractions and notifications. However, I am now obsessed with the sleep tracking and insights so much that I basically wear this watch 24/7! The Sleep Score in the Venu has helped me to better target my sleep and wake times, helping me to get more restorative sleep. In the morning, I review my overnight trends like sleep duration and quality. Honestly, I feel like the gentle nudge from the watch to exercise and improve my sleep quality gets me into my running shoes more frequently. The other components - like weather, ECG, pulse ox, and exercise tracking - are great. The watch itself is relatively low profile and fits into my daily wardrobe - so I don't feel awkward wearing a "sport watch" all day, nor do I feel like it's completly obvious I'm wearing a tracking watch. It's easy to turn off notifications from my phone and keep them off, so I'm never bothered by fragmented attention getters. But if notifications are your thing, then they show up on the screen if you opt-in. Would definitely recommend this watch for anyone looking for a fully functional sport and health tracker watch that can blend into your wardrobe.

Overall I love this watch. Great features. Awesome battery life. Sensers seem more accurate then previous Garmin watch. Was a nice upgrade from my vivosmart4. Only complaint is the watch face scratches very easy. Less then 2 days out the box I had 3-4 noticeable fine line scratches across the face. I figured out it came from rubbing on the wood edge of my desk. My previous vivosmart4 that I wore everyday never scratched sitting at same desk.

I have been wearing a Garmin watch for 30 plus years. Have had at least 5 of the different models and have always loved them. Switched from fit bit because back then, they were only water resistant and Garmin was water proof. As I like to swim as well as walk, that was important. Next month I will be 75 and still enjoy getting the vibration letting me know I am passed 10,000 steps and often get to 20,000 in a day. Love my new Venu and how easy it was to install the watch.

I love the watch and the features. I don't like that every time I go in the next room that is less than 50 feet away it will disconnect from my phone. I also can't get the Text Message feature to work. My husband bought me the pink rose gold one. I love the rose gold but hate that the pink it all around the head of the watch so I can't switch out the band with another band. I definitely would not purchase this one again. I will be sending this one back and they'll send me another one to see if we can get the text messages to work and hopefully that will fix it disconnecting as well.

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.

I was an Apple Watch loyalist for many years, but after having to replace it every 2 years due to battery life (after 2 years it barely made it through a marathon even on a full charge), I started looking elsewhere. I am so happy to have made the switch! The battery easily lasts 6 days even with constant use, takes very little time to charge, and still functions as a smartwatch. The only thing I miss about my Apple Watch was having maps on it to help when doing driving directions, but maybe I haven't figured out how to do that on this watch yet. I also personally think it looks nicer than the Apple Watch and the band that comes with it is much more comfortable. If you're considering making the switch, do it. You won't be disappointed!

I got this watch to replace my Apple Watch. My battery life was terrible and my workout calories were never consistent. I’ve had the garmin for about 3 weeks and I’ve only charged it twice since I had it. It tracks my sleep and the color on it is amazing. It looks way more elegant than the Apple Watch too! The Apple Watch reminds me of what you get in a kids meal at McDonald’s. This watch is a must have if you want a smart watch that is more confused on work outs.

Received this for the holiday and I am very happy with the battery life and most of the functionality. I would give 5 stars if the voice command could add items to a shopping list. Other pros are the battery life and wearability. Cons are the connect store has lots of apps that are half baked. I wasn't able to find a watch face with numbers that looked sleek. Wish there were more options for a sleek look. Unable to recreate the watch face on the marketing photos with numbers for the hours. Why isn't gold a color option for the customizable watch faces. A few quirks but happy with the VENU 3S.
