It’s ok…room for improvement

I don’t like that you have to sync the watch to a desktop change the dial appearance. It’s a pain and my older Garmin watch was easier to change to any appearance, talk to text feature works so so, volume is pretty low on the highest setting so I still end up having to pull my phone out to talk, do not disturb and sleep mode randomly turns on in the middle of the day.

My favorite Garmin so far!!!

I've always owned Garmin's from the day I started wearing fitness watches. Thus one has the best featured and functionality so far. I love how it's easy to swipe through and setup is a breeze.

Great but could be better

I’ve had this for roughly six months I like it but I have some issues with it. The screen scratches kinda easily which is upsetting since I know some of their other watches don’t. Also if I rush my teeth it counts it as steps which then gives me an inaccurate number while some of their other watches don’t like the Fenix. Other than that I have enjoyed it.

Battery life is not accurate
on October 5, 2024
Posted by: Claudinha
The battery of my first Venu 3S I got about a month ago only lasted about 3 days so I called in and I was sent a new watch, well, this one lasts right about the same if not a little less. This is disappointing because this is one of the main reasons I got this watch, that the battery would last 9 days. My vivoactive 4 would last right about the same. Not sure what my options are at this point.

A huge change
on October 7, 2024

Switching from apple watch to garmin is indeed a big change for me. Even until now I don’t know where to go or which buttons to push. Not that it’s hard I was just an apple gal. But this was has been great the battery last for a week if not more. On top of that it is super light you wont feel like wearing a watch. Still on a getting to know stage but so far I love it!

Nice watch

I'm very satisfied with most things on my watch, however; the tracking of distance walked is way off and shows about 30 to 40% more steps than actually walked and that was the main reason I bought the watch and I am probably going to return it.

Lots of health data
on October 7, 2024

I've had the watch about 3 weeks. I love the watch -- big improvement over my past fitbit watches. I'm happy garmin offered the 3S as I have a small wrist. I'm still learning the watch and get confused on how to interpret some of the data but that will come with more use. I'm not happy with the strength workout setting. I like to put the app on and go, not have to keep interfacing to tell it reps are complete. Otherwise no big issues. Battery life is better than expected so far.

Great Fitness Watch

I'm very happy with the venu 3s. The display is very clear. Syncs to my android phone and speed sensors perfectly. I'm only getting 3-4 days only.
