Venu 3
on January 17, 2025
Posted by: DonT
As a Garmin Instinct user over the past 3 years, the Venu 3 was a natural progression. No Garmin has all the features I would like. However, the Venu checks most of the boxes for a reasonable price. Garmin battery life is a clear winner over most sport watches and the Venu does not disappoint. I typically get 14 days per charge and the refresh only takes less the and hour. If I could wish for any change, it would be a rotating bezel for app selection (not required works fine as is).Great watch!

there are some problems
on January 16, 2025
Posted by: Dizzy
Ox meter is too inaccurate. I have COPD so I track it often. My finger meter reads 93 to 96, the watch reads 87 to 90. I still can't get it to work with the Garmin Golf app to give yardage on the golf course. Instructions are really bad. Some features are too invasive and cause buzzing at inappropriate times. Some features are poorly explained.

Thought it would be an awesome upgrade.
on January 16, 2025
Posted by: Venu 3 December 2024
I had the venu for 3 years and loved it. My husband bought the venu 3 for my birthday. I thought it would be an amazing upgrade, but then found out it lost some features. When you are in an activity you can not swipe back to check the time (time of day), or change the volume of the music. I was a little disappointed.

Garmin beat my Fitbit
on January 16, 2025
Posted by: BecauseCake1123
I bought my venu3 right before Christmas after having been a faithful Fitbit fan for years. I was nervous at the thought of the few features I would give up. As if the the venu knew, it stepped up and it was an instant love connection. I don’t miss my Fitbit (or the few features I lost) at all. In exchange I got new features that I never knew I needed in my life. I love that I get notified about my body battery status so I can focus on my own wellbeing, and that my step goal alters itself given my current activity levels. Its battery life is great and its connectivity to my iPhone has not faltered or failed at all. I am definitely a garmin convert thanks to my venu3.

Great improvements to an already great watch
on January 13, 2025

This replaces a Venu 2 that I am quite fond of. A few weeks in, I’m thoroughly impressed. I track both my fitness and sleep. That can’t done with a watch needing a daily charge. The added fitness and sleep features are much appreciated!
