More bang for your buck!

I've been looking at this product for about 9 months. I researched it then thought about it, table the idea then do it all over again. I finally took the plunge a couple weeks ago. What a great product! It does way more than I need but what I do use is great. What really sold me is that I'm not required to "subscribe" after some trial period to keep getting data.
It is fairly easy to navigate. The app could be a little more user friendly for the data pertaining to health and performance. But once I went through the maze of options, I found my own niche. And it would be nice if it had its own stand-alone food and calorie log rather than having to use an outside app. (I always hate feeling pressured to go "premium" for every little thing.)
I love how well it helps you to understand the data collected and it helps you to improve in whatever it is you are needing. The sleep information is very informative.
Styling- It looks great, it's not heavy nor bulky. The silicone band is a good size for smaller wrists. It's large enough to see without readers. The screen lighting isn't too bright so it isn't disruptive when you look at it during those restless nights. But it's easily seen during the day, even outdoors.
Overall, I'm completely sold on the Garmin Venu 3S and have zero regrets on this purchase.

I switched from Apple Watch and could not be happier with it! The battery life is amazing, there are so many features and I just can’t believe how much this watch does!

I bought this only because I was tired of having to charge my iWatch so often. The Venu 3s allowed me to quickly see my sleep score, steps in the day and reminds me to be kind to myself. It’s the most encouraging “tracker” I’ve ever used and I’ve been loyal to an iWatch for 20+ years.

Connectivity Issues

My watch continues to buzz walking into another room “phone disconnected “. When I walk into the room where my phone is, it buzzes again “phone connected “

There's a lot to learn on this watch and I still am. I like the easy to see color detail, the range of health checks, and the choice of work out routines.

A lot of features
on October 29, 2024
Posted by: FLgirl
There are many features to recommend this product, and it's fairly intuitive, especially if, like me, you've had a lot of Garmin watches. I like the night snooze option, and morning wake up feature. I selected this watch because I do a wide variety of sports and activities which this watch covers, and particularly wanted a watch that tracked floors, which not all my Garmin watches do. However, I find that the floor tracking is hit or miss, despite the fact we have extra tall ceilings, so the stair case is long. This disappoints me because I do the stair challenges on Garmin Connect. I've also been frustrated with the swim lap tracker, as it misses at least one lap out of every 20, often more. Sometimes it doesn't record them at all. That's disappointing after paying a fair amount for the product. Despite those particular aggravations, overall I'm pleased with the watch.

More accurate than Apple Watch

I love my Garmin. My husband bought one and just loved his so much he bought me one. I was a little against it at first because I’ve had an Apple Watch for so long. I’ve been using the Garmin for a few weeks now and I wish I would have switched sooner. So easy to use, more accurate and the design is so much better than Apple. Buy one….its awesome.
