Great features
on January 16, 2025

Received this for the holiday and I am very happy with the battery life and most of the functionality. I would give 5 stars if the voice command could add items to a shopping list. Other pros are the battery life and wearability. Cons are the connect store has lots of apps that are half baked. I wasn't able to find a watch face with numbers that looked sleek. Wish there were more options for a sleek look. Unable to recreate the watch face on the marketing photos with numbers for the hours. Why isn't gold a color option for the customizable watch faces. A few quirks but happy with the VENU 3S.

Wow… So much more than I expected.

I researched a long time before I chose the Venu 3S. I have small wrists So most Fitness watches look like a hockey puck strapped to my arm. Not so with this watch. I love data, especially concerning my health. I’m an older (71 years old) guy who still enjoys all types of fitness activities, both in and out of doors. This watch lets me track every statistic. Plus, music storage and phone functionality. There is a learning curve, for sure. But, so WORTH IT!

I love the battery life and the features that are on this watch. I'm sure there so much more I haven't discovered yet.

So I glad I purchased this!

Over the years I’ve been through 4 Fitbit’s and last year I bought an Apple Watch. I really tried to like the Apple, but wasn’t satisfied. I finally decided to invest in this Garmin. It rocks! It is far superior for fitness tracking. I’ve read that some people don’t like the sleep tracker, but I have been very satisfied with that feature as well. Highly recommend!

Too small

I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t know the difference between the 3 and 3s but now I do. After reviewing the difference I see that the 3S is made for the smaller wrists.

Experienced Garmin user-new watch disappoints
on January 12, 2025
Posted by: sis1
I bought this watch to replace a Venu 2s that I had owned for two years (after owning many other vivo watches before.) This watch seems defective. Sleep monitoring has consistently (for a month) shut off before I actually wake up and not even triggered by a trip to the bathroom. Additionally, Garmin Pay is not working despite it working with the previous watch. There are some new features that seem intriguing; however, distracted by these daily nuisances that don't seem to work.

Amazing watch!

I got this watch to replace my Apple Watch. My battery life was terrible and my workout calories were never consistent. I’ve had the garmin for about 3 weeks and I’ve only charged it twice since I had it. It tracks my sleep and the color on it is amazing. It looks way more elegant than the Apple Watch too! The Apple Watch reminds me of what you get in a kids meal at McDonald’s. This watch is a must have if you want a smart watch that is more confused on work outs.
