I recently made the switch to garmin and I could not be more ecstatic that I finally pulled the trigger!! The Venu 3S is the absolute best smart watch on the market!! It has anything and everything you could possibly need & want in a smart watch! I HIGHLY recommend this watch to everyone!! A+++

Fun features but phone App control is just another app to log in to and manage. Wish instructions for watch and the control features for things like volume were more easily accessible from the get go. The face scratches easily and Bluetooth connection makes the battery go down quickly. I can maybe get 2 or 3 days with Bluetooth and updates on. Wish garmin was clearer on capabilities and what devices work with specific products and that they wouldn’t charge for apps.

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.

Going from a Polar Running watch to this, was way more than just a lateral move. This watch was a major upgrade. Upgrades to data was just a minor upgrade compared to the beauty and elegance of this watch. Would have been better if it had some diamonds going around the rim of the watch, but it’s fine. 😉My wife couldn’t be happier with this watch.

I made the switch from Apple Watch to this Garmin Venu 3s. I am so thankful I did. There is so much more to the fitness app, battery life is unreal lasting over 7 days!, and the watch is stylish. I comteplated and compared. I even ordered the new Apple Watch because I was worried about how the Garmin would work with my 16 pro iPhone. The very next day a coworker told me about her same dilemma and showed me her Venu 3s. I was sold and immediately returned the Apple Watch and ordered the Garmin. Best decision ever! Absolutely no syncing issues whatsoever. I will never go back to the Apple Watch again.

The build quality of the watch itself is nice. I also like the interface of the watch and find the Garmin app easy to understand and use. I usually use Strava to track my activities, and it was easy to link that app with my Garmin watch. Unfortunately, I scratched the watch a lot while rock climbing outside in a "chimney-style" climb, but I've had the watch for over a year and a half since that incident, and it still works perfectly fine. There are only visible, deep scratches, but the watch doesn't glitch or do anything weird.

When I first started using the Venu 3S, I found it a bit overwhelming trying to navigate all the different features. But after about a week, I really started to love it. The Venu 3S is excellent for tracking a wide range of fitness goals, whether you're walking, running, swimming, or doing something else active. It also provides insightful sleep scores to help you understand your rest better. One of my favorite things about this watch is that it's not bulky like many other smartwatches. It's lightweight and comfortable. I think it's a great option for beginners who want something compact but still packed with powerful features.

I bought this about a month ago and I am so glad that I did. I have always been an Apple Watch girly, but was reading reviews that the Garmin is better for exercise tracking. The reviews couldn’t have been more correct. I now realize Apple Watch is just a smart phone on your wrist whereas the Garmin does exactly what you wanted to do. Tracks my steps, tracks, my workouts, check my heart rate, tracks my sleep, and tells me the different sleep categories that I was in the night before. It’s been so helpful and such a blessing and I am so thankful that I purchased it.

I love my Garmin venu 3s. My first Garmin watch. I bought it when I started my running journey to run my first half marathon. I love the sleeping feature as well. A year in, I have terrible screen burn and can barely see anything now. Not a cheap watch for this to happen only a year in.

Ive had my watch for 3 months now, and I am extremely disappointed. One of the primary reasons I purchased it was for the sleep tracking, which barely works. I gave it a few weeks to "learn me" in hopes it would perform as it should but it never happened. It tracks my sleep probably 2/7 nights a week. Waste of money. Next time I'll stick with Samsung watches.
