I got this a couple weeks ago. Didn't need it as my old watch still worked, but my wife likes her Garmin so I started looking. Very confused in figuring out which model I wanted. I think the Venue 3 is indeed the which I was looking for. More money than I wanted to spend but very worth it. Takes time to learn navigation but not too difficult. Also paired to Garmin blood pressure monitor. That took a minute but works fantastic. Got an aftermarket band that I love and fits perfect.
This Venu 3 watch replaced a Fitbit watch with a lot less features. I needed to replace my Fitbit and hearing from a lot of friends NOT recommending an Apple watch as they have to charge daily. That was a non-starter for me because the sleep quality feature is one my favorite apps. Expertvoice had a great deal on a Venu 3 so I gave it a try. Very good feature laden watch. Battery looks like it will last over 5 days, probably longer as I just got the watch. It has a lot of apps and features so give yourself time to learn them all if you're new to Garmin watches. I have Garmin bike computers but the Garmin watch ecosystem is a whole new level. It has a great screen and can easily replace my bike computers. I am very happy with my purchase. Especially the prices in Expertvoice.

Gamechanging Upgrade to My Vivoactive 3
on April 6, 2025
Posted by: MarkTibs
I’ve been wearing the Venus 3 for 3-4 weeks after several months of my Vivoactive 3 essentially becoming unusable due to not holding a charge. The Venus 3 is light years ahead of any of my former Garmin watches. The screen is vibrant, the functionality makes sense, and I love all of the new apps and features (most probably aren’t new but to me they are!). I really like the ECG app and all of the enhanced health features and the activity sensing feature is also really cool. I don’t normally track casual walks with our pup but now my watch does it for me! I didn’t realize how much I’d enjoy that. Great purchase! I’m only kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
My husband and I both purchased the Venu 3 a few weeks ago and we are both very happy with them. I got the larger size and quite happy I did. It is a big face on my small wrist but worth it to see more words on the screen. I upgraded from the Vivoactive 3 and not looking back.
