Great features

The Venu 3 was a birthday gift from my son. I have been using Fitbit Flex for years but because this birthday I turned 67 he wanted to give me a closer look at my health. Learning all of the features has been a bit of a challenge. The Venu 3 is larger than what I have been using which is another change. So far it’s good, check back in a few months.

ALL OVER THE MAP
on November 2, 2023
Posted by: DGIL
I find the Garmin Venue 3 watch sleep data to be all over the map. Same with another device not worn on my wrist. I know when I turn in for the night. And all too often both devices have me going to bed hours later...hours...later. Batteries are adequately charged. And both devices are snug against my skin. Also, on a daily basis, the Venu 3 reports a total daily burn of 1920± calories while the other devices reports well over 2500±. HR is accurate against the Polar chest strap. So that's good. But I have endured chronic sleep deprivation for nearly 5 years: I'm 72 years old. Since I've stopped evaluating my body on a daily basis with a plethora of data, my sleep has greatly improved. As my very wise physician/acupunturist said to me, "When you get up, just feel your body. How do you feel?" Smart watches and rings are amazing techno-creatures. But given that the modern human brain is what?...200,000 years in the making, I think it has its own ways of talking to me whenever necessary. All I have to do is be quiet and listen. So off with the watches. So away with these techno-creatures: hello body. Talk to me, please. — Doug

Great Features!

This is my first smart watch and so far so good. The sleep score and body battery is really accurate and helps me get better sleep by giving me tips throughout the day. The stress function also keeps me aware of what my stressors are and allows me to avoid them.

A good watch (mostly)

It is very good as a watch and has a very clear display, but there are some issues. Using it for phone calls has worked 1 out of 5 times. The heartrate monitor is wildly inaccurate. There have been occasional disconnects from my Apple phone. I have not uses many other features, and cannot comment on them.

Good but not great

It is an I interesting watch with some nice advices regarding sleeping time for exemple etc. But it freezes, restart, and overall the watch feel a bit cheap for that price range.
For that price range I would appreciate having a dial brand gps too.
