This is the best watch I’ve ever had. I had multiple Fitbit watches and they don’t even compare This watch does everything.

Great so far!

I bought a Venu 3 in early June 2025 and as of this writing (6/22) have been very pleased with its performance. My primary workout and use to date is very brisk walking which it appears to track very accurately. I've also been pleased with its link to my iPhone 16 pro and ability to delivery notifications reliably. To early to give good feedback on battery life overall, however, 7 days or more between charges works for me. I've barely scratched the surface of its capabilities, but so far, so good!

Less quality than the previous model

The screen is good, better size, however the overall strength and quality has decreased, it feels less robust, I have no problem with the packaging being more fragile, but

Great features at affordable price

I upgraded from a Venu SQ to the Venu 3 and I have been wearing it daily for 1-1/2 months. I like the new features and more detailed information that the Venu 3 provides. However, the Sleep related features need to be revised IMHO. Some mornings the sleep start time will be incorrect, and it reports that I started sleeping after I went to the bathroom, say 2 or 3 AM, when in reality I may have gone to sleep at around 11 PM. I can edit the start time, but it will show the added period as light sleep only without indicating any awake, deep, or REM moments. Sometimes it will also indicate longer awake periods during the night than what I think they actually were. In the Sleep feature area, the older Venu SQ seem to perform much closer to reality than the Venu 3. I hope Garmin works on this and updates the software.

Venu 3--moderate upgrade over 2 plus
on June 21, 2025
Posted by: justjoew
Loved my Venu 2, my Venu 2 Plus, and now my Venu 3. the 3 seems to do a better job with consistent sleep tracking, HRV, and other metrics, and I like the new watch display. Cool it has skin temp, although I have no idea whether that is valuable. I use the option to keep the display on all the time, and the dimmed view works well and I still get decent battery life.

Great watch

I bought the Venue 3 but had to return, not because of any problem with the watch. The reason is I couldn't get the font large enough to read.
