I received this watch as a Father’s Day gift and I absolutely love it. I’ve worn this watch for 10 days and still have 50% of my battery remaining. In addition to the awesome battery life, I like the numerous watch faces on the Venu 3. I now wear my Garmin Venu 3 all of the time and have dumped my Apple Watch which required daily charging.
I bought this Venu3 3 weeks ago to replace my previous (other brand) smartwatch, and am very happy with this choice. All the measurements seem to be more accurate. I am getting 5-6 days of battery use, with about an hour and a half of GPS every day. The display is easier to see, and much easier to activate. The watch is more comfortable to wear, too. It took me 2-3 days to get used to Garmin's modes of operation (might have been faster if I had read the instructions), but they are logical and intuitive once I unlearned the previous device's methods.
I like how it looks and feels. Some of the features don't work for me. The step count doesn't work unless my arms are moving. The body battery is inconsistent as well
I was highly disappointed in this watch. It looks and feels cheap. The user interface was lacking in that you have to download functions such as o2 monitor and the heart rate features. Seems as though these would be preloaded. I returned the watch after having it 2 days.
I had never owned a fitness tracker until the Garmin Venu 3 and I love it! It keeps me motivated to be a better me. I waer it so much, I hate to take it off.
