I like it way better than my Fitbit, however I wish Garmin would include use instructions instead of the important customer having to search for directions.

Love this watch. Such a huge improvement from my Garmin 935 Forerunner. The Venu 3S is a perfect size for women.

Good, Some Hiccups

Good overall. Similar features to the Fenix 3. It’s had 3 sleep data errors, claiming I slept for 26 minutes one night. Also, I biked and it shows a move event, but not an official event. I cannot get this to switch to an official event.

Venu 3S First Impression has been positive
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: Allie M
I bought the Venu 3S a few weeks back to replace a fitness tracker from another manufacturer. I was looking for a product that was more robust without sacrificing the health data provided. So far the Venu 3S seems to be a quality product with a wealth of health information stored/provided in a logical manner. Time will tell, but first impression has been positive.

Even Grandmas Love Garmins!

I love my Venu 3S! I purchased it about a month ago as a replacement for my very tired Venu 2S. I really like the Venu watches, and the S versions are great for my little wrist. I'm a long-time Garmin watch owner and my first was the FR70 in 2011. Every watch release just gets better! The screen is super bright, which is very nice on my old eyes. I love the constant upgrades to the health metrics and the new features that connect with my phone. I have not used them all yet. One thing I love is that when I get text messages on my phone that have pictures of my grandbaby, I can see them on my watch! I even made a cute Connect IQ Face It watch face with the cutest picture of my grandbaby. I'm hoping to have many more Garmin watches in the future that will help me stay healthy for my growing family!
