This is a replacement for a Fitbit that has helped me get in tune with my health. Venu 3 brought to a new level of awareness and stats that will help me achieve better health. This is an outstanding piece of technology. Thank you Garmin
I wore out my first Garmin so I reached out to them for a suggestion on a replacement. I got the most helpful rep who made suggestions based on my need. I bought the Venu 3 and I couldn’t be happier. It is an amazing watch with TONS of features. Unlike the Apple Watches I read about, the Venu battery lasts for weeks before a charge is needed. I couldn’t recommend this watch more.
The setup of the watch was intuitive, it has performed flawlessly, and it has helped me be more fit/active! The Venu 3 has been so much more than just a watch... it's my Accountabilibuddy!
Has become my daily wear. Tons of features and stellar battery life. Bright screen. Pricy but worth it. Supporting Apps work well. Only negative is strap feels cheap and makes your wrist sweat during regular wearing. Should be perforated.
I use it to log my bicycle rides, walks, runs. Do to the fact this was my first smart watch, it took some time to get to know the features. I connected it to map my run, my fitness pal. It's everything I need.
I bought the Venu 3 about 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely impressed with the features and performance of the watch. I am a watch person and previously used the Samsung Galaxy watches. This is no longer the case Garmin Venu 3 is my go to watch. I even bought the Venu Sq2. Great battery life and watch overall.
I gave my husband an EPIX for our anniversary and he loves it. He wanted me to get a Garmin too, so I did the research and waited for the Venu3 to come out. I have read the instruction manual and this watch is a dud, at least with an iPhone. I am not getting notifications on my wrist to let me know I have a text or phone call, but I click to open the notifications app and there are 25 that include business and junk emails, and calendar items not calls or texts, which is all I want. The only notification (vibration) I do get is that I am disconnected from my phone if I walk into another room, only steps away from my phone. When golfing, the golf app shows the entire route on the road and how many mile to get to the golf course, then it shows my speed at 3-6 mph. Yeah. I’m in a golf cart! It does not sense when I have hit a shot or how far it went. This watch was a gift and I don’t want to complain, but don’t waste your money. You can download a golf app onto the Fitbit sense and get front, middle back distance and not miss out on texts or calls. I am going to try to return.
