Amazing battery life and stats!

I got this as a Christmas gift and it’s been a couple weeks and I love it! The battery alone is amazing! I charge it once a week. The stats are so nice to see and keep track of. I love that is truly is a fitness and wellness watch!
Still prefer Apple Watch but appreciate the longer battery life of Garmin watch. However the battery certainly doesn’t last ten days but maybe four or five days.
Not as easy to use as Apple devices, really felt like sending it back at the beginning.
APPS eg Strava can’t be started from the watch itself but every activity I do feeds into my Strava when I prefer only to log walks into it and runs into Nike. All other activities I used to just log in Apple.
I do however like the screen on my watch but I am not able to reply to messages from the watch. As this watch was the same price as an Apple device I wouldn’t recommend this watch for Apple fans
My watch was a Christmas gift from my grandchildren. I have worn a Fitbit since they came out until I started to explore other options. This watch does everything plus more than what my Fitbit ever did. Every day, I learn something new that this watch can do. I would highly recommend this watch.
I switched over after years as an Apple Watch user and am very happy with this watch. The data that I get from workouts is incredible, and the battery lasts me about 6 days. I only have one grievance and one wish. My grievance is that the “find my phone” feature doesn’t always work. There have been times that the watch is telling me it’s pinging my phone, but when I find my phone it’s not ringing. My wish is that I could reply to text messages from the watch. But overall, I am very happy with it!
Finally found a watch that isn’t overly large on my wrist. Women have small wrists so smaller watch faces are needed. This is still quite large but it’ll work. Honestly don’t wear it all the time due to size but it works great when I do. I’m waiting for golf season which is really why I bought it. I’m assuming I’ll love it.
I received the Venu 3S for a Christmas gift and LOVE it. A great upgrade from my previous Garmin watch and a super long battery life even with lots of activity.
The Garmin Venu 3S is perfect for my daughter. The setup is seemless and intigrated nicely with her iPhone. Previously a fitbit wearer, she insisted on getting a Garmin that matched her mom. She likes the ease of us. The battery stays charged for about 8 or 9 days. She likes the step counter and says its comfortable. She has the 41mm which is sized great for her stature.
