This watch is absolutely amazing

I come from a different smart watch -- the bit of Fit. Using my Venu 3 was a night and day difference. It is drastically better than anything I've ever owned. There is so much ease, so much clarity, and overall, is a far superior watch than anything the other brand could ever produce.

Very Expensive, Not worth the money spent.

I bought this watch a month ago. The plus point is it reads accurate heart beat and Oxygen readings. But the sleep tracker is total waste. It says, I having sleep, but I am laying in my bed wide awake watching YouTube . Self tested and realized it is a flaw after experimenting many times.

I bought this a month ago and some features do not work well. The volume on the music feature does not work while running and it doesnt work well with “any kind of wireless earphones” (as people at the store said)

Venu 3 series

I really like the sleep feature on the watch. It measures REM, nonREM, awake, resting. Body battery which tells me how good I should feel. I like the way in the morning it tells me to believe in myself. I have another watch and it needs to be charged once a day. This watch can go almost a week wit I think the EKG with just 2 fingers. It tracks when I go up and down stairs. It tracks my weight lifting, tennis, kayaking by time and calories. I can get phone calls on it which helps because I don’t hear my phone sometimes.

Great Features!! Super fitness Watch

I really love this Garmin Venu 3. Screen size is just right and very responsive to touch and the screen brightness is super. I've turned down the brightness to 30% and it is still very bright. I'm enjoying the battery life. 10 + days on a single charge given its screen brightness and feature set is impressive especially coming from two major phone giants where you may get a day or maybe slightly more. The build is great and solid. I have placed a screen protector on and will add a soft bumper on occasion that warrants it. It is also very stylish. Functionality has been top notch. It's very accurate and allows for monitoring of my heart as I have a-Fib. It can do EKG, oxygen readings, sleep monitoring, Heart rate variability, has a body battery and stress levels. Overall I made the move because I feel it really is focused on fitness. And of all other smartwatches, for me, I have enjoyed the accompanied phone app that gives me a readout which is concise and informative. Much more so than others I've used before. This is an impressive smart watch. I thought it a bit expensive but after using it has been well worth it. I highly recommend it.

A very complete and elegant watch

I changed my Venu to the Venu 3 and it was worth it. It has very useful new features such as recovery timer, morning report, and sleep enhancements.
The only negative point is that the battery does not last even close to 12 days with a normal use.

I bought this to work with my Android phone and I bought an Apple Watch for my wife to work with her I-phone. She has to recharge her phone daily, and I only need to charge after a week or two even though I tend to do it once per day. It's nice to know I don't have to recharge it daily.
My wife and I are still comparing our applications and their performance. I like to use a stationary cycle, but the app doesn't allow me to input the calories burned based on the computer output from my cycle. Maybe I need to learn more about the applications and I will find a way to record stationary cycle activities better.
We both like our sleep apps, but the Garmin provides more information than the Apple watch.
OK, my Garmin will not receive calls without my phone Bluetoothed to it and her Apple watch doesn't require her phone to be nearby, but I don't pay an additional monthly fee to my service provider for the Garmin. I wanted her to have phone access because she does HIIT in our neighborhood and doesn't need to be carrying her phone at these times. Men have pockets, so carrying my phone is not an issue.
I like the many choices of watch faces! I like the fact you can create your own even though I use one that's provided on the Garmin IQ. I could go on but this is all the time I have for the review today.
