Sleep, exercise, and health apps!!
on September 16, 2025

This is my 3rd VenueS watch! The multiple apps are to relevant to my lifestyle at 72 and more important than ever! Tracking my biking, hiking, walks and yoga helps me to regulate exercise and sleep so I stay active in a healthier way. I have a tendency to burn out.

I’ve had my Venu 3S for three weeks now and am impressed at all the features and health tracking. It inspire me to getting and paying more attention to sleep and cardiovascular fitness. It’s so lightweight I forget I’m wearing it. Great product!

Fun features but phone App control is just another app to log in to and manage. Wish instructions for watch and the control features for things like volume were more easily accessible from the get go. The face scratches easily and Bluetooth connection makes the battery go down quickly. I can maybe get 2 or 3 days with Bluetooth and updates on. Wish garmin was clearer on capabilities and what devices work with specific products and that they wouldn’t charge for apps.

I was an apple watch girl but media got me and I am so glad it got me. My first reason to consider switching to garmin was of how delicate and elegant the watch looked, then all the amazing data you can get from your watch. I love it!

Fantastic iteration on a solid tracker
on September 10, 2025

I use this in conjunction with an Edge bike computer for when I do bike specific activity, but replaced a first-gen Venu S. This model, on a repeat of the same first backpacking trip, lasted two extra days without charging compared to the S's maiden voyage. That's in conjunction with a nicer screen, more accurate tracking, AND being paired to a phone in airplane mode for most of the trip. I recommend this watch to anyone looking for a step up in fitness tracking and basic smart watch capability, but not looking to break in to triathlon or mountaineering just yet.

Best watch I have ever had
on September 10, 2025
Posted by: LisaM
I am in love with my new Garmin. I was a Fitbit user for years and they are pretty good watches, but I switched to the Apple Watch after Google took over Fitbit. The Apple Watch is a complete nightmare, unusable unless you enjoy being enslaved to the charger. My Garmin is easy to use, has wonderful functions, has a bright and easy to read watch face and has a battery with long life. I am so glad I came to Garmin.

Amazing watch!
on September 9, 2025

I made the switch from Apple Watch to this Garmin Venu 3s. I am so thankful I did. There is so much more to the fitness app, battery life is unreal lasting over 7 days!, and the watch is stylish. I comteplated and compared. I even ordered the new Apple Watch because I was worried about how the Garmin would work with my 16 pro iPhone. The very next day a coworker told me about her same dilemma and showed me her Venu 3s. I was sold and immediately returned the Apple Watch and ordered the Garmin. Best decision ever! Absolutely no syncing issues whatsoever. I will never go back to the Apple Watch again.
