limited value

Bought this watch to detect AFIB. Turns out if you are athletic and your RHR is under 50 it won't give you a result. This is a poor decision on the programmers end. Many athletes have low RHR and AFIB.
Second, when working with a breath pacer and breathing at 6 breaths per minute the watch just gives a reading of 14-15, so this is also useless.
I do like the HRV information, so there is at least some value

Very happy with Venu3S
on September 23, 2024

This is my birthday gift (upgraded from a Garmin Vivomove). I was hesitated between Apple Watch and Venu3S, and very happy that I chose Venu3S. Long battery life (one charge can last a week), very accurate to pick up activities, Intensity minutes are much more accurate than Vivomove. I also love the ECG App. Surprisedly accurate on sleep and nap!

VenuS3

I've had this watch for about a month and switched from an Apple watch. This watch while claims to have really great features. have a hard time tracking my workouts and steps. The workout setting was the main reason I purchased this watch and does not do what it was described it can do. Battery does die more quickly than advertised and is slightly harder to navigate than Apple. If your thinking about making the switch I would personally not if your main purpose for this watch is the workout tracking capabilities. It is a visually appealing watch and not too bulky.

Love it

Bought this recently and love it. The features are very similar/better than the Apple Watch and the battery life is sooo much better. I only have to charge this once a week, rather than every night for an Apple Watch. It makes it infinitely more usable.

I love it when it works

When it works it is fantastic but three time in a the last month I have had to reset the watch in order for it to connect to my phone. It is 6 months old and resetting it means setting it up again. I plan on calling customer service

Lots of features!

I've only had this watch for 2 weeks and I'm really enjoying it! There are so many things this watch can do that it's going to take some time to learn all the ins and outs. Right now I'm primarily using it for golf and my workouts and it's awesome!

Tons of Features, but some connection issues
on October 2, 2024

So many cool features on this watch. I wanted one that I could use on the golf course as well which that feature is nice to have on the course. I think my biggest issue is that it struggles to keep a connection to my Pixel phone. There are times where I like that it's not connected, although to reconnect you typically have to power cycle everything and sometimes even uninstall the app which is a little annoying. It seems to be an issue with PIxel phones, although I haven't really looked at anyone else. If you want to always be connected, you might want to try to search your phone and this watch to see if there are any issues.
