Great battery life!
on July 5, 2025
Posted by: Seemr
As a former Apple Watch lover, I’m absolutely loving the features of the Garmin Venu 3. Especially the battery life. I can easily go 3 to 4 days and then charge for 10 to 15 minutes and good to go for another 3 to 4 days. I could barely get a full day charge with my Apple Watch. I also love the details on walking trails and the health stats the watch supplies!! I would have given a 5, but felt the learning curve was a little slow for me, but overall I love the watch!!

My wife bought both of us new Venu3 watches and I love mine! I had an older Apple watch and worried that I would lose some of the sync with my phone but so far flawless connectivity!

I’ve Never Had a Smart Watch

With that being said, Almost everyone has a snatch watch and I’ve done my fair share of research and I knew I’d get my bank for my buck when I bought the Venu 3. From the feature to the look it’s exactly what I needed. It’s convent and efficient and the interface is amazing. Honestly I wish I would’ve waited because the Venu X1 came out a month later! And I already love that one as well. Job well done Garmin. Job well done. The ONLY Cons are, there is no interface or software enabling texting, I’m sure IPhone charges to enable IOS crossover but even so I can still get all the notifications and information I need from all apps with their icon, and the Bluetooth range could be a little longer. That’s it. But my phone is with me all the time when I need it to be… so I just pull my phone out when I need to text or view anything anyways!

Great product

I had the Venu before I made this purchase and was happy with it. The Venu 3 has great features and keeps track of all your fitness activities. It also has a new feature that allows you to place and receive calls which is good. The only thing is that the strap irritates my skin. Other than that, great product.

I bought this watch to replace my Apple Watch and couldn’t be happier I did I really like the sleep features. The only complaint is the garmin iq app is a little hard to navigate but I got it figured out.

It ok, but...

I'm disappointed that the Venue 3 voice assistant won't bluetooth to so many android phones including my Galaxy S23 Ultra. I have in excess of 8 hours researching, talking with Garmin and txt chatting with Samsung regarding this issue. Garmin is and has been aware of it, but the customer doesn't become aware of it untill he/she is in the process of setting it up in the Garmin Connect app. Garmin should be up front transparent about this.

Great Multipurpose Device

I'm very happy with this device offering a balance between smart watch and fitness tracker capabilities. Things I really like are the morning report for sleep tracking, exact distance tracking/mapping, battery life and refined appearance.

Overall all very good

The biggest downside is when the timer is stopped it is way too easy to save the run. I suppose when I do stop I should swipe over to another screen to prevent accidently saving.
