At my 52 years, after several years with Apple and exercising more daily, I have found in Garmin a lot more features to train, rest and get accurate health data.
Owned for 1 month and so far I’m satisfied and not satisfied at the same time.

Thank you for your review and experience with the Venu 3. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
I own a Garmin Venu 3, Fenix 6X Pro and Samsung Galaxy Watch. Ever since buying the Venu 3, I haven't touched my Samsung watch. The battery life is better than all others. My wife has an Apple watch and I just bought her a Venu 3s because the battery on her Apple watch wouldn't last a day. Now her Venu 3S lasts a week or longer. I had a Forerunner 165 but returned it for the Venu 3 because I wanted a larger screen and the ability to use it to talk on my phone via Bluetooth. The Venu 3 display is awesome too. Bottom line - if you're loooking for a smart watch that handles serious activities, go with a Garmin!! The real hard part is picking the right Garmin watch for your specific needs!!
For example it keeps a ton of information on any golf course but I have not yet figured out how to find the distance to a hazard. Also only recently stumbled onto how to change distances from meters to yards. Same for my bike ride there are three screens of information on a ride, but once I saved the ride I could not find screen 2 or three. A very smart watch, but likes to keep secrets.

Thank you for posting a review we appreciate it. We would encourage you to start out on our support site for assistance with the device and also to give you a way to contact our team for further assistance.
I have become more active since I got my Venu 3. Keeps me moving to keep up with the amount of steps and floors each day to meet my goal. The battery is amazing never having to plug it in all the time. It can go for 2 weeks and I never have to worry to charge it. Sleep tracking is great. All health related features are easy to use and a great asset to this fitness equipment. I would hate to be without it now. Highly recommend. This is my first Garmin and hope it's not my last.
