Better watch than Fitbit Ionic

This is a much better watch than my Fitbits in the past in terms of providing information, the jury is still out for me on durability, which I hated from Fitbit. The watch has performed exceptionally. The Fitbit app is much better in syncing information from other apps such as MyFitnessPal . I hope they can improve it. The Fitbit app is better at presenting information. But overall no regrets with my Garmin watch.
Love the size, bought a 45mm. Don’t like that sometimes when you turn your wrist to light it up doesn’t always work. Love all the features and the quick button to start and stop a workout. Don’t like that the connection and disconnection is such a short distance
I bought this watch several weeks ago and can say I am happy with my purchase! I am big into fitness and this watch has a workout setting for whatever it is you do (yoga, indoor/ outdoor biking, tread, meditation- the skies the limit). I love the heart rate monitor and the workout insights available during and after workouts. The watch face is the perfect size and completely customizable. Highly recommend this watch!
I’ve had the Garmin Venu 3 for a few weeks now and it is working out well for me. My primary objective in choosing this watch was to monitor my heart rate during exercise. Some of the other features are a bonus. I have come to appreciate the sleep score (sleep tracking) and body battery. It has been interesting to consult both to validate my energy levels at the start and end of the day. The display that I count on during my rides is bright and easy to read even in the sun. Post ride I enjoy the route map available on Garmin Connect. Overall, I am very pleased with the Garmin Venu 3 smartwatch. I highly recommend it!
This is my second Venu 3. I am a swimmer and wear it 24/7. Additionally, I have a cardiac issue and the watch can monitor my ECG and all of my health attributes while linking to the app on my phone.
I have been using my Venu 3 since January 2024. Overall, I am happy with its many features like stress, heart rate, intensity minutes, calories burned, respiration, and VO2 Max. However, I often get inconsistent values for Heart Rate and VO2 Max. Wearing the watch properly or resetting it won't help. So, I concluded that there is a design (hardware and/or software) issue.
