Got it for Christmas. So far so good and still learning all these functions that the watch have. One thing i think is not as accurate is the heart rate monitor. Reason i said this is because i know my heart is racing after doing a few pushup, but monitor is not reflecting it. Did not get a chance to utilized the GPS function yet. Definitely good battery life. Looks good. Still learning and alot of function i have yet to use.
Spent a good deal of time searching, reading reviews and watching videos. Ultimately the battery life won me over. I'm over 70 and thought the Venu 3 might help motivate me to keep moving, running is out of the question with a bum knee however I'm walking more now that I have the watch to keep me aware of my daily totals.
I have been using my Venu 3 for about 3 weeks now. Overall so far I am very happy. I have been able to track steps and sleep and some basic info. I am looking forward to exploring and using more of the great functions available. I leave the watch on all of the time and have it go in sleep mode each night. I using give it a quick charge when I am in the shower, which has been more than enough to keep it going.
Upgraded from an older Fitbit, and really like the display and features. Not only does the watch track daily metrics on activity tracking, but it has also given me insights on better sleep that seem to help.
Crystal clear display with exceptional battery life. The perfect blend of advanced fitness, sleep, HR tracking and smartwatch features like audio control, messaging, guided workouts. Also pairs with Peloton to be used as an HR monitor during workouts.
Glad the Venu series added sensors that the Vivoactive removed. Great watch!
I've had the original Venu for a few years and the OLED display is half faded-out. I liked that one so much that I stuck with it in the Venu 3. There are some nice upgrades and the screen is much better (yes, even before the fading). The main thing that kept me from getting a Fenix that was on sale is the ECG app - my Doc even recommended it for me and I got it with FSA $'s. I was given the Approach S62 for my golf habit, but if I forget that one the golf app in the Venu does just fine.
