I absolutely LOVE my Venu 3s. It is the perfect size for my wrist and it is very compatible with my iPhone! I had the Forerunner 965 but I needed more of a smart watch and I am so glad I made the switch! The Venu looks classy and it is perfect for my everyday needs! Has beautifully accurate tracking as well! Highly recommend!

I changed from Fitbit because of connection issues with my Apple 14 pro. I find Garmin similar in options with some extras: EKG and other apps. I use find my phone all the time (as long as it is in range — but it did keep trying to connect while I walked around the yard; it finally connected and found it). I love the extended battery life. My son/wife are getting up to 10 days; I’m getting 6 at most so far—probably due to settings. Only problem is it a bit more than occasionally disconnects so I have to manually sync.

I bought this only because I was tired of having to charge my iWatch so often. The Venu 3s allowed me to quickly see my sleep score, steps in the day and reminds me to be kind to myself. It’s the most encouraging “tracker” I’ve ever used and I’ve been loyal to an iWatch for 20+ years.

I got this watch for Christmas because I wanted a fitness watch that would track my calories for my calorie deficit. It performs perfectly. It shows me all of my notifications, and I can answer calls on it. I can preview messages and all. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the battery life.. Not to be confused, the battery life is still much better than my Apple Watch was, but I do have to charge it about every three days. I’m sure I could remove certain features to preserve the charge between recharges but this is just my experience with the basic setup. This watch is a very nice upgrade from my Apple watch and gives me great results. I’m greatly pleased with this watch.

The Garmin Venu 3S strikes the perfect balance between advanced technology and practical functionality. If you're looking for a stylish smartwatch with top-tier health tracking and essential smart features, without unnecessary frills, the Venu 3S is an excellent choice. It's a testament to Garmin's commitment to delivering reliable and user-friendly devices.

I have had this watch for about a month now, and I am so happy I switched from the Apple Watch! I wanted more insights to my fitness and health. This watch has done that and has shown me how I sleep, when I need to rest my body, when I need to train lighter, and my activity levels throughout the day. I am still exploring all the features, so I know there is SO much more that I a missing. BUT I love this watch. One of the main things I love is the battery life. IT LASTS SO LONG!! Such a big perk. I can wear it for days and I love how it tells me about my sleep patterns and how much sleep I need for the following night. I like how I can track my fitness activity and it gives me detailed overviews when I'm done. If you're looking for a fitness watch, this is definitely the one for you!

The watch is everything they say it is. I love the body battery and detailed sleep stats. Also looking forward to tracking HRV levels. The only thing I had to set up again on the new watch is loading my custom running mix MP3s, and setting up the Data Screens for running to my prefs.

Some features, such as weather, do not update in a timely manner. However, everything else is great! I use it to track runs, hikes, lifting, and climbing. I love all of the metrics from the fitness tracking. Also the sleep score and HRV data points are very insightful.

Definitely a change from my last watch! Love it overall! Love the data for sleeping, stress, daily morning report! Cons: having a hard time calibrating to the treadmill. It’s significantly off. I have to refresh frequently for the weather and sometimes won’t get notifications.

I've been a Garmin fan for a long time, and the Venu 3S is the best yet! The display is super-easy to read, with really vivid colors and so many options for watch faces with Connect IQ. The combination of touch screen and button controls make switching between screens a snap. Can't say enough good things about this watch!
