Great watch in concept, but quality issues
on July 30, 2025
Posted by: marabe
I had my original watch replaced because of a known issue with the button haptics. Now my watch is incapable of accurately measuring stairs. The barometer readings are pretty off and recalibrating or manually setting does not solve the issue.

Lost Connectivity to Pixel 9 Pro phone 3 times in
on July 29, 2025
Posted by: Dharma
Why am I waking to the Garmin Venu 3 watch disconnected to a Pixel 9 Pro watch. This in repeating once a week for the last 3 weeks. Re-setup has had to be performed after each disconnect. Purchased 5/19/2024. This has been a good watch until the disconnects. Another disconnect will probably have me going to a different sport/smart Watch.

Switched from Apple Ultra 2 Watch and Fitbit
on July 25, 2025

I absolutely love this Venu 3! Great battery life, great display, workout and health features are incredible and very insightful data that’s perfect for improving overall fitness, health, and sleep goals. Data accuracy is spot on and doesn’t over estimate or under estimate metrics. Thank you!

Great watch for health tracking

Works great with my Samsung. Wish they would update to a qwerty keyboard and a way to start a text from the watch. You can only reply or use T9 to reply.

Loving it so far!

I have been wearing this watch for 2 weeks now and so far I’m loving it! The battery life is incredible (I’ve only had to charge it twice!), and the sleep tracking is very nice! I was an avid Apple Watch wearer for 6 years, and I’m so happy I switched!

Love Venu 3
on July 19, 2025
Posted by: Kei3235
I loved the watch it works perfectly for me the only thing I wish if had was the feature to turn my alarm off from the watch itself. Since I’m not always near my phone. I did decide to send the Venu 3 back only because it was just to big for my wrist. I switched to the 3s and I’m glad I did

Worked great until it didn't
on July 16, 2025
Posted by: Asd33809
Love it, it has great features, had* a great battery life until an update a few months ago. Now it dies in less than 48 hours. I don't believe I've even had it for 6 months before this happened. I've been working with Garmin techs on troubleshooting but still no fix yet. Hopefully it gets figured out because 2 day life is not cutting it with my lifestyle.
