good battery life

The amoled display works well outdoors and almost everything runs right out of the box. Most options are available on the watch itself without having to open the app. Navigating the watch works surprisingly well thanks to the big touch display. However I find Garmin's Connect App confusing and crowded. Changing or just finding settings and especially customizing or correcting things is quite tedious. Especially gym workouts are annoying to track.
Love the accountability, features and style. Great features to fit all demographics of fitness level. Stat visibility is great. Like that you can change your screen features as well.
I love the battery life. The clearness of the screen I think is way better than my old Apple Watch. I couldn’t give it 5 stars cause I’m still learning the product. So far the only downfall would be not being able to respond to text messages.
Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Hmm, well, I am sorry I waited so long to buy this Venu 3, but maybe I do appreciate it more since I started 'looking' at it over a year ago, maybe more! It has solved many little 'problems' that I didn't think could be solved--one of the simplest and best is the wakeup alarm that only wakes me up at 5:30 (the hubby doesn't want to get up that early; also I love the stats on my activity--it actually inspires me to do more. OK, that's enough love for now.
Very happy so far. Made me focus on my walks and stair climbs :) which I didnt care before this watch as I am a cyclist. Would have preferred a squarish look on the watch (3 SQ not out yet). Looking forward to other detections such as sleep apnea and ECC in the EU zone. More details for cyclists and runners will be appreciated so that we dont have to keep up with two different Garmin watches... Thanks
I really love this watch. Great color. A lot of options to add to the watch. The new night time screens in good. The new flash light works prefect for me. The morning report is a neat add on. I'm still learning everything this watch can do.
I’ve owned this product for 3 weeks now. All good, no complaints. I previously had an Amazfit smartwatch and this is an upgrade in every category. I’m still learning the interface and navigation but it has many options and features to keep me motivated to learn more. My only small complaint is having to use two different apps to manage the smartwatch. I haven’t been able to use the GPS and fitness tracking for much other than walking due to my current situation. Overall, a good upgrade and beneficial investment thus far.
