Bad connectivity with iOS

Good tracking features and battery live, but pretty poor connectivity with Apple products (iPhone 15, AirPods). GPS connectivity partial also rather slow. Would not but again.
I am 68 and not great with electronics. Once I got a 40 year old niece and a 19 year old great nephew involved, I was able to get the data screens I wanted for my trail runs. Come cross country ski season I'll employ them, again.
Had a Venu 2s - had issues with shutting down during activity with 40%+ charge left. The Venu 3 has many new features - like the bigger face. The Venu 3 is definitely a great fitness watch - love it!
I have an aversion to smart watches, but this watch has changed my mind. Long battery life, health metrics, and just enough syncing info from my phone. I move furniture and packages for a living and this watch has held up to tough work.
So far, I like everything about my new Venue 3, particularly as compared to my now battery dead Vivoactive 4. The battery lasts longer, the display is large and of better resolution, and I appreciate the additional capabilities the Venu 3 adds, such as the ECG App.
