Great watch
on July 3, 2024
Posted by: Erik W
The watch was delivered very quickly. It is excellent to track my sleep and workout habits. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone that is interested in a watch that tracks all of your activities.

Awesome Watch, Incredible Battery Life, Great Apps
on July 2, 2024
Posted by: Kecker
I received this for Fathers Day after constant complaints about a competitor's battery length. My son had a Venu 3 so a natural follow on for me.
I changed the face to one that has what I need to monitor my daily activities, battery levels, steps, weather, and health-related items - and yes, the time as well.
It took a week or so to get familiar with the user interface but I'm good now..
The integration with Apple Watch is "good" but could be better, IMHO. There are apps available on the Garmin ConnectIQ Store that have enabled me to keep my Apple Health and Peloton apps up to date. There are a ton of goals, awards, and pre-defined fitness plans and routines that I am only dipping my foot into after having the watch for a month.
As for battery life? After getting the watch the first charge lasted about 8 days. I am on my second charge with the battery at 25% and still have 4 days remaining. Based on the timing my second charge will have gone 15 days - and only an hour or so to fully recharge.

Overall excellent device - water resistant to 50m so I am unafraid of diving into the water with this device. I used to remove my other watch whenever I took a drink of water for fear I'd ruin that other watch (sarcasm intended).
I highly recommend - I will add an updated review in 6-9 months which will enable me to comment more on the goals, rewards, and other app capability.

My Review for Venu 3
on June 30, 2024
Posted by: Greg D.
I'm BACK! After being lured away from Garmin for the bells and whistles...I find the Venu 3 to be the perfect fit of smart watch and health smart device. I like the GPS accuracy as it's hands down the best in the industry. I found a watch face that looks sharp and brings me just the right amount of data and information in a stylish display. Glad to be back Garmin!

Huge Leap from My Old FitBit!
on June 29, 2024
Posted by: Pinball Wizard
So much great information available about my health, workouts, sleep, and heart health in general! The basics are easy to set up and get data from immediately. I'm still discovering additional features and functions that are insightful. I do a combination of HIIT, aerobic, strength, and walking exercises and it seems to analyze them all quite accurately. I look forward to being able to take my blood pressure with it, and it would be handy if I could connect my Fitindex body composition scale, but it's not difficult to add that data manually. This was a significant investment for me and I'm very happy with the returns!

I love it!
on June 20, 2024
Posted by: VeraC
I've had a different brand of smart watch for years, but I haven't been happy with it lately. I decided to try the Garmin Venu 3 after reading many reviews. I have been SOOOO happy with my switch! I love that the Venu 3 focuses on my overall health/wellbeing and not just meeting certain daily goals. The battery life is AMAZING, I can actually track my sleep with this watch instead of having to charge it nightly. It is user friendly- It didn't take me long at all to figure out how to work it and set it up. I love that I can track my water intake with it as well! I am so glad I changed to the Venu 3. The few things that this watch doesn't have that my other one did, I don't miss as much as I thought I would. I love it!

Great Features

I received the watch for Father's day from my wife and was skeptical. However, I love the sleep score. It helps me monitor my poor sleeping habits. I also use it when I work out. Love it.
