This is my second Venu! I went to Apple as all my friends said how good it was however I missed the features of my Garmin. I 100% recommend getting a Garmin

Overall a great smart health watch.

I had needed a new smart health watch after my Fitbit versa 2 died. Took me almost a year to find the right one and if I did want to get another one. The Venu 3 came well recommended and does just about all I needed to do. It’s a great upgrade from my Fitbit. My only complaint on it is that you can’t select which apps notifications show up on the watch like the Fitbit did. Love that the battery last a full week using it almost daily for gps activity tracking something Apple can’t even come close to.

Great smart watch and just what I wanted.

I purchased this primarily for the health monitoring functions. I have had a problem with Afib for the past year, which is hopefully now fully resolved. The Venu 3 gives me easy access to the monitoring and information I want, along with other useful data that I hadn't thought too much about.
The battery life is also incredible, usually 10 days between charges, with super quick power refills when needed. The watch is good-looking, and comfortable to wear. Thanks for a really good product.

I'm so pleased

This has been a great watch for me and my life style. Garmin works amazing with my Samsung phone better than my iPhone watch. I get all my messages and calls and still can't check my steps and bike ride. And one week of battery is so good.

Fitness Watch, not a smart watch.
on May 21, 2025

When buying this watch as a replacement or upgrade of another smart watch, you have to keep one thing in mind. The Garmin Venu 3 is the most "smart watch like" watch in Garmin's line-up, but it is a fitness tracker first and a smart watch second. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good news is that this watch has amazing health trackers, being very accurate. This watch also has smart watch features like notifications and text messages. However, the watch does not sync with your phone's notifications seamlessly like other watches on the market. Your notifications go to both the phone and the watch, a result of the third-party app Garmin Connect. I wish this was more seamless, but it is somewhat of a welcome change from the traditional smart watch from other manufacturers.
The main thing I love about this watch is the battery life. Lasting up to 14 days with the Always On Display turned off is just amazing. Even with the Always On Display turned on, you still get up to 5 days out of the battery. This is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else on the market.
In conclusion, if you want a fitness tracker that is also a smart watch, definitely take a look at the Garmin Venu 3. Amazing battery life and health sensors set this watch apart from the competition. However, if you are looking for a smart watch first, look elsewhere. The connection is not as seamless as other watches on the market such as the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch.
