Excellent Watch (So far)
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: Schuda14
The Venue 3 was a Christmas gift. The watch has performed well (so far). The face is easy to read, including during workouts. Navigation through the various functions is quick and easy (once I got used to it). One piece of information that is not available through the Venue 3 (which I had on my Forerunner) is Training Effect (I suspect this was a Garmin business decision). Otherwise, very happy with the Venue 3.

I love this watch! The transition from my Apple Watch was smooth. I only wish there were more band options.

Venu 3 is a worthy upgrade
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: paul K
After 5 years of wearing my Garmin VivoActive 3 everyday and being very happy with it, I was looking for an upgrade - and the Venu 3 is definitely an upgrade! The battery life is great, the screen is bright and much higher resolution, and the voice operation works well. Along with many additional new features, it's working very well for me for both mountain biking and gym workouts, as well as everyday use. I'm really happy with this new watch.

Great smartwatch, but the battery life!

Great smartwatch, although I expected more from the battery. I switched from the Apple Watch Series 9 to the Garmin Venu 3, looking for better battery life and improved support for my running and walking routines. However, I’ve noticed that when all the features of the Garmin watch are activated, the battery lasts almost less than the Apple Watch’s. That’s the only downside I can mention about the Garmin Venu 3.

Love the display and touchscreen

My husband bought me this watch for Christmas and I love it. Display is bright and love the touchscreen. I like my Instinct Solar due to the long battery life but like the style of the Venu. The battery life of the Venu is great as well. My Apple watch was not providing long battery life for a marathon.

I've had several garmin watches throughout the years and this is by far the best one yet. I use it for training, running, and hiking. Battery life is phenomenal and the screen is so beautiful!
