I bought this watch about a month ago. I had a Vivoactive HR before that I was happy with, but this one is unbelievable all features that it has. Definitely Garmin watches are incredibly.
I bought this about a month ago, so I'm still getting used to things, but I'm so in love with this watch. Touch screen is nice (Although it's sketchy when I'm drenched in sweat or water) and the features are pretty logical, so getting acclimated is a breeze. My favorite feature is the ability to download music from Spotify directly to the watch. I have had a problem keeping my headphones in my ear, but the watch has a speaker just loud enough for me to hear while I'm running. FANTASTIC! I definitely recommend this to folks for running / swimming / biking. I don't do much else, but if you're coming from an older watch and want to avoid the REALLY expensive watches, this one is a great choice
I am elated with my new 45mm Venu 3. I was an Apple Watch guy, but quickly grew tired of it due to limited health stats and the need to charge it every day. Yes, the Apple Watch complemented by iPhone nicely, but its pain points, i.e., charge frequency, negated any benefits. My Venu 3 gives me more health stats, i.e., stress, than the Apple Watch. I wake up to a robust daily health profile that kills the Apple Watch's metrics. I was able to pair the Venu 3 to my iPhone w/o any problem. The 1 thing I cant do with the Venu 3 is respond to messages from the watch face - I see them, but I can't respond. This is the only loss as far as I am concerned - a minimal loss at best. My biggest upside to the Venu 3 is its OMG beautiful screen, robust set of health metrics, and that I get between 10 to 11 days of use before I have to charge it. If you haven't guessed, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Garmin Venu 3. Bye Bye Apple Watch.
As someone tries to balance work and exercise this watch is perfect. It tracks everything I would need while I'm working and does a great job with runs, biking etc. Does not look too big on my wrist and isn't heavy. Would definitely recommend!
I switched to Garmin and I'm so very pleased. I get everything I need and more from my Garmin Venu 3. It's kept me on my game. This watch is very easy to use and I couldn't be happier with my choice! I would recommend to anyone who is starting a new life journey!
I purchased the Venu3 as a replace for my Apple Watch that would no longer hold a charge. It has all the smart watch functions that I utilized with the Apple Watch. It has been easy to learn to use & I do like that I only charge it about every 6 days.
