A Bit Quirky
on September 24, 2026
Posted by: Mago
Overall happy with the device it is a bit quirky as displays of activity disappear from time to time just a bit of an inconvenience as it is easy to restore them to the display. Sleep score is a bit quirky as well it will give different scores with the same background components for example one day it will tell me that my sleep was poor the next it tells me it was fair with the same amount of deep and RAM sleep, but this might be that I do not understand how the algorithm works. The device is sturdy, easy to use/read and overall, I would recommend it.

Love the optional displays

I bought this to replace a fitbit charge 6. As a 79 year old guy with bad eyesight, I just couldn't read the display on the Fitbit. I used to have a older version of the Garmin Instinct and I liked the display, so thought I would try the Venu 3. After having the watch for about 3 months and learning about the features I prefer to be on the display, I am very happy with my purchase.

The Venue 3 is a step up from my Fitbit Versa 2 that died after six years. In all honesty, the Versa 4 that I initially bought would have been a nice upgrade but too, but during the initial set up I ran into a glitch that apparently a LOT of Fitbit customers experience. I sent it back and bought the Venu 3. Perhaps when I figure out all of the options and capabilities, I'll come to appreciate it more.

Great smart watch for working out

I've had the Venu3 for a month now and love it. I also have the Fenix 6 but they have very different qualities. I bought the V3 to replace a Fitbit Versa4 and I'm so glad. The V3 tracks everything I do at the gym, whether its aerobics, strength training, treadmill or rowing machine.
Plus its tracks my walking with GPS instead of steps (although it does that as well).
Looks good and I can wear it swimming as well. I highly recommend it!

Love my Venu 3, I wear it constantly. Upgrade from the Venu 2. Accurately records HR, stress, sleep, body battery, etc.

I am so happy with my Garmin Venu 3. I got it to replace a dying Venu 2 and I hoped it would be a consistent and reliable replacement. IT IS SO MUCH MORE! It has so many more features, and it watches over me in so many new ways. I couldn't be happier with it
