Perfect for everyday

I bought this two months ago. I love how accurate the heart rate monitor is. The sleep tracking is excellent and gets my naps in. The watch is light and easy to sleep at night with. The flashlight is something I won't go without again. Overall an amazing functional fitness watch. Would recommend.

Love it!

I rarely write a review but I love this watch so much I decided to. I have tried the competitor watch. As a busy mom, that's not for me. I can't charge it daily. I love the screen on this watch, the fact I rarely need to charge it, and I use the flashlight when I got into my kids rooms in middle of the night or morning. I workout at orange theory and the heart monitor works perfectly. I was hesitant on this watch bc I had a couple of older garmins that were fine...but the upgrades to this one is noticeable and worth it to me!

Learning

I've had this watch for a few weeks. I needed to replace my Swim2. For swimming, it is about like the Swim 2, mostly hits, some misses, but overall I get the information I need. It is the only Garmin watch that fits my small wrists. (I've tried Apple, but found limitations for swimming.). Overall, I'm still finding my way..there are WAY more functions than the Swim 2.

Amazing, Flashlight is essential!

So far so good. I went with this one for a better office companion. Design is clean and sleek goes perfect with professional and casual office wear. Tracks my sleep and workouts super well. Love the morning and afternoon reports. Overall amazing, cant complain the more I have it the more I've learned and the better it gets. The flashlight is amazing, you don't know how bad you need it until you need it.

Great features

I am so happy I bought this especially so I could follow my blood sugar numbers from my Dexcom. It works so well and I am very happy I bought this. I think it's easy to read but my biggest problem is getting out of a screen. All in all I love my Garmin watch.

Looks great/works great

I bought this watch 3-4 weeks ago, and so far it has been exactly what I wanted. The 45mm is the perfect size. It tracks all of my activities well with the exception of flights climbed each day. I wish there were a way to edit that and manually add my flights. That is my only complaint. I love the strength workout coach. I've been using it for 2 weeks, and I plan to start using the running coach when I finish this current program. I have been a previous Fitbit and Apple Watch owner, and so far this one has been my favorite.

It completely died

I just bought this watch. I was upgrading the lily active 2 and this watch didn't even last me a few months. It completely died. It won't turn on or charge. I am so disappointed. I did email and I have not yet received a response. I haven't been able to track my gym sessions since I got rid of the lily active 2.

Some good features compared to venu 3s

I got this as a replacement for the Venu 3S, which would shut off whenever I used it to swim. I couldn't get any swim activity saved because it automatically powered down during swimming. With this one, I've been able to swim successfully and save all my activities. However, I've noticed that the volume when receiving calls is quite low compared to the Venu 3S, and sometimes it has phone‑call connection issues—for example, my phone will be ringing but my watch won't. Overall, though, I'm happy with the swim feature so far.

Big frustration

Big frustration, the watch with the premium price tag has so many bugs... I set up English as watch interface. Two days later the interface switched itself in German. I had to make the factory reset and to start over watch setup in English. Anyway, I see some words in other language (see the attached photo), Google detects it as Romanian. I downloaded the Manual from Garmin web-site... there are so many discrepancies with actual watch interface... The flashlight turns on spontaneously several times during the day... the menu isn't working, but I found a way to turn it off—by initiating an ECG. I tried to track my walk with 78% of battery charge, but 5 minutes later I got message: "power saving mode activated" and watch stopped tracking my walk. I bought that watch to track my A-fib episodes. But, it was so tricky to take ECG. Almost every time I was getting "Inconclusive result" (see the attached photo"). So, I decided to return the watch to Garmin. By the way, the option "Add Images" on this page doesn't work

VERY nice feature set and look

I got this watch about a month ago (alongside a Galaxy Z-Fold 7) as a replacement for my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I prefer a round watch and one that is ecosystem independent was my top goal. The watch is very nice looking and has some great features for health tracking and overall lifestyle touches. There are a few spots where a fully integrated smartwatch is superior (focus modes, alarms, tighter access to the digital assistant) but those are nice on paper (at least for me) and what I get with the Venue and it 9 day + battery longevity are more than enough for me. Grabbed a couple of nicer bands for dressing it up, and applying and armorsuit protector to keep the Gorilla glass scratch free and couldn't be happier.
