Bought about 3 weeks ago. features, functionality and existing apps are great. looking to have Inside Tracker software and the Venue 3 is supposed to be compatible. If it is measured, it is managed and the Venu 3 is doing a great job of it.
Most watches with great battery life are heavy, clunky etc, the venu 3 is light, I hardly know it is on most of the time. It is water proof, tracks all the activities that I do and has a battery life of 5-10 days depending on activities.
Garmin does not have subscription fees like Apple does for Fitness and so Apple makes it easy to eliminate their Watch on that count. I also considered the Fenix and chose the Venu 3 based on what for me are more than adequate capabilities and features on the Venu since I’m not a runner but am a cyclist, treadmill, swimming and minimal lifting aficionado. I don’t compete in rides, swims, and certainly not running.
The vitals & sleep monitoring, reminders, and Garmin & 3rd party apps are at the least interesting and many are quite useful including Week Calendar & Battery Widget among others.
I put some time into research and I'm really glad I did. This was the best choice for me and what I wanted in a smart watch. Rugged, fast, long battery life..everything! Perfect for me and still haven't had any problems.
The watch is simply magnificent! I bought this form factor specifically for daily use. I work out with them in the gym, walk, run and ride a bike. They keep the charge perfectly, they have enough for 5 workouts with GPS, well, for the rest during these days. Initially, the watch showed a charge for 14 days, but now for some reason only for 12. I don't know what this is about.
I only had the Venu 3 for two weeks but, I really have come to love this watch. I had a Samsung watch 4 and the difference is huge, especially on the battery life! It'll take a little time to get use to all the new features and button functions but, it's worth it.
I love the Venu 3. It was very easy to setup, in addition the available watch faces makes it fun. It functions as expected and the band is very comfortable. I would highly recommend a Venu 3 if your looking for a health/fitness wrist device.
