Best smartwatch I've ever owned!
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: VikingPastor
I've owned the Venu 3 for about a month and I am so pleased with it! As someone who has owned a smartwatch since the beginning of the technology came out, this is by far my favorite one!
My biggest complaint with smartwatches is that most companies try to make it something that could one day replace your phone. I believe most owners are like myself and just want something that is a great companion piece to technology we already own. The Venu 3 does just that. The health metrics are fantastic and have helped me make more informed decisions regarding my overall health. The notifications for things like messages and other apps on my phone are subtle and helpful. This is my first foray into the Garmin smartwatch world and I am now a customer for life!

Venu 3 .. nothing more
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: Sid11
On my Venu 2 after two and half a year was battery KO, so I must upgrade to Venu 3 and - its OK, hope battery will last more, .. Venu 3 gives exactly what you need. Phone calls are useless, music player too, but standard functions are good.

Garmin Venu 3
on June 6, 2024

I was somewhat skeptical purchasing this item but am very happy I did. I am not often pleasantly surprised but must admit the Garmin Venu 3 has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Switched from Apple Watch
on June 5, 2024
Posted by: amooma
Best decision! I recently switched from an Apple Watch Series 7 because I wanted a watch that had a longer battery, sleep tracking, and more accurate fitness reporting. After about a month of use, I am in LOVE. The sleep tracking is incredible, so is the battery life. This watch is perfect. I also wanted to step away from smart watch capabilities, as constant notifications to my Apple Watch was beginning to be too much. The Venu 3 only gets text and calling notifications and it's perfect for me! You can also still use the "Phone My Phone" feature as one can on the Apple Watch! Would recommend to anyone!!

Almost Perfect

Upgraded from a Fitbit Sense. This watch has most features that the Sense had. There is a bit of a learning curve but once figured out, no issues. The only suggestion I have is to allow Blood Glucose monitoring (for those with diabetes).

Good but glitchy
on June 3, 2024
Posted by: Chunt78
I have been wearing this watch everyday for several weeks now. I had originally bought the instinct solar because I liked the idea of solar charging but had too many problems. Traded in and got this but seems to have the same problems although the look and functionality is way better. I bought this for two reasons, one being to track runs and the other for sleep monitoring. It works great for runs but is terrible at being consistent with sleep monitoring. More often than not it doesn’t even register it or it will only register a few hours. This has been a bit of a bummer honestly. I will say the gps works great and it is a great watch with a good app to keep track of runs. For the money, there is probably much cheaper options if this is all it is good for. Heart rate monitor is hit and miss and I often need to take it off, wipe the sensor, and put back on several times a day to keep it going. I charge once every seven days which is great but less than advertised.
