My Vivo 4 still works great but I couldn’t resist trying the Venu 3. I’m glad I did bc the battery life, screen, and music features are MUCH better. I’m still waiting for wireless charging though. I HATE the finicky Garmin charging cords.
I have had my watch for about 3 weeks. The sensors on this watch seem to be accurate from the step count to the ECG. The screen is sharp and the watch faces are data rich. I highly recommend this watch.
This is my third Garmin watch and the best yet. I do not need a hard core watch like a Fenix as I have an Edge 840 for tracking my cycling. But I do like a Garmin watch for track other activities and for tracking health metrics. My previous watch was a Forerunner 945. The Venu 3 was attractive to me because it's upped the ante by adding more features (temp sensor, enhanced HRV tracking, ECG app, etc.). It was very easy to adjust to the new watch especially due to the touch screen. The new AMOLED screen is BEAUTIFUL!
I bought the watch a month ago and a have liked the features so far. The watch is lightweight, has a colourful display and the battery lasts more than a week. The apps are intuitive and easy to use. The one drawback I noticed is that the emails received are quite untidy in their format. I had a Fitbit earlier and in that the format of emails was crisp and neat. I hope Garmin improves on this aspect. Also incoming WhatsApp calls sometimes are audible only on the watch and NOT on my OnePlus 10 pro phone. Otherwise a lovely Watch and I'm enjoying it.
I used it for 3 weeks and I am very happy with it. For health and fitness it helps you understand how your behavior affects you. But in a good way. Very dynamic and precise. Loads and resources vary during day. Sleep and rest too. Now I even register my hydration, because they made it easy. I had a macho Suunto 7 before, don't miss it. And I am happy I didn't go for the smart Samsung. I found the Venu 3 by luck. And the battery. Hijole. Problem is it lasts too long jajaja
