Good watch but the screen needs a lot of work

I love a lot of things about this watch. The touch screen is nice -and it is much more encouraging than my Fenix. The screen however is terrible. It scratches so easily. For a watch that wants you to wear it every day this is hard to deal with. I have gotten a screen protector which helps but I am not sure how long whit watch will last compared to my others.

Very compatible with iPhone

I got this watch for Christmas because I wanted a fitness watch that would track my calories for my calorie deficit. It performs perfectly. It shows me all of my notifications, and I can answer calls on it. I can preview messages and all. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the battery life.. Not to be confused, the battery life is still much better than my Apple Watch was, but I do have to charge it about every three days. I’m sure I could remove certain features to preserve the charge between recharges but this is just my experience with the basic setup. This watch is a very nice upgrade from my Apple watch and gives me great results. I’m greatly pleased with this watch.

I don’t know why I waited

I got my watch for Christmas, as I had been debating upgrading for months. I had the 2S and I will say I wish I hadn’t waited! The ecg app is great for anyone with heat issues my cardiologist had recommeded! The insights and the features and the clarity on the screen very much upgraded.

I was hesitant at first. I've always had an Apple Watch. I can honestly say I waited far too long to buy a Garmin. This watch is amazing. Great for beginners. It has a good long lasting battery. I only charge it about once a week. When I go to the gym it recognizes the type of exercise I am doing and fairly accurately keeps track. For example. I did 3 sets of 15 Romanian deadlifts and the watch not only recognized that I was doing deadlifts but it was only inaccurate in counting by 2/3 lifts (which is easy to edit). I have only had my watch a few weeks and although that isn't very long I am very pleased with it and with I had bought one sooner! Highly recommended!

I received this watch as a gift about a month ago. I had a garmin 245 music and wanted to upgrade to a watch with a few more smart watch features. I am blown away by everything it can do! I love the strength training program that displays right on the watch face, the sleep and HRV tracking is great.

Don’t miss my Apple Watch!

I bought this approx 1 month ago to replace my Apple Watch (every day watch) & an older Garmin (my running watch and still working like a champ!). I wear my Venu3s all the time and am amazed at the features. It really confirmed how poorly I sleep so I’m trying to improve that. I thought I would miss my Apple Watch and how it pairs with my iPhone. I don’t at all. Get this watch!
