Venu 3S Review
on June 23, 2025
Posted by: RPoc426
I bought my Garmin Venu 3S about a month ago primarily for health/fitness tracking and I am training for my third marathon this summer. Previously I was using an Apple Watch. Some of the features I like: Body Battery, Stress, Sleep Data, Recovery, and the watches battery life is great. The thing I'm super bummed about is I thought the Garmin Coach would have a marathon plan for me to use right on the watch. Unfortunately I found out the plans only go up to half marathon unless I want to logon to Garmin Connect and find a self guided plan to use on my phone... Considering marathon training is the whole reason I bought the watch and runners always say how great Garmin is I was shocked and sad by this finding so I can't rate it better than a 3 star.

Great features but little durability

The Venu3S is great for tracking your fitness, sleep, and wellbeing overall! The sleep and body battery features help me organize my day and are so helpful for daily insights, but the durability of the watch is disappointing considering it is an active watch. Scratches on the screen within the first week of purchase.

Perfect Watch!

I’ve been loving my Garmin 3S watch! It fits my small wrist perfectly—sleek and not bulky at all. The minimalist design goes well with almost any outfit, from casual to dressy. Plus, the battery life is amazing—I can go several days without needing to charge it, even with regular use. Super practical and stylish!

Great watch

I like this one much more than my old Venu SQ. It’s a better fit, less boxy, doesn’t suck the battery dry as fast, is compatible with my old watch face, has better features and better /more info on Connect. The features are easier to set up and the sync is way faster.

Obsessed!!!
on June 21, 2025

I have been team Apple Watch for 6 years, had two different series watches in that time. My husband had always been team garmin and I just didn’t think it would be for me. I’ve had this Venu 3S for two weeks today and I AM OBSESSED! I will NEVER go back! Battery life is outstanding, workouts are so easy to record, and I love the morning report. Apple Watch was more for your phone on your wrist but garmin is less “connected” to the world which is a plus and it’s geared more for health and wellness! Thank you for creating such a phenomenal device! I FREAKING LOVE IT!!

Very impressed!

I’ve had my watch for a little over a month. I’m very impressed with the quality and battery life. Switching from the fruit brand.. and having my reservations.. this watch has been more than I could have expected. Battery lasts over 7 days and I use it to track exercises and wear it 24/7. Could not be happier.
