So far so good!

Bought this for battery life and better gps accuracy than my Apple Watch. Only have had it for a few weeks, but so far it’s lasting and seems more accurate! Also am loving the easy to use intervals settings for training.

Excellent data
on May 19, 2025

I have used my venu 3s for about 3 weeks now. I love the data that it stores. It is easy to read. I love the sleep suggestions and body battery, it helps me understand why I didn't perform as well as I thought I SHOULD. It helps me set goals to try to continue to improve my health and performance. I am quite disappointed with the text messaging capability (or lack thereof) with iPhone users. I am not going to make all of my family and friends download a messaging app and create accounts. We need an update to where it can talk to iPhones and we can use the watch to text back. That is my only issue with this watch.

I have this for about a month now and it's must say, I did have a Galaxy watch and I would NEVER go back I love this watch so much.

Looks great, does the job!

Great watch with tons of cool features. My favorite pros: battery lasts a week or more, classy round screen, tons and tons of activity modes plus the option to create your own, lots of great sleep details, ECG app and fall detection with emergency calls. My least favorite cons: random reminders to move (unable to set up reminders at preferred times), must be within a few feet of phone in order to use Bluetooth, no reminders for updates, and not as user friendly as apple products (though it’s very refreshing to break away from apple empire).

Features I love!

I love my new watch. I love that I do not have to plug it in every day. Heck, I don't have to plug it in every 7 days, it lasts 10 days! That is amazing! I also love that the step counter is showing my steps as I am walking without a lag or having to open the app on my cell phone. It is a great watch and I am so glad I made the purchase!

Amazing watch, features, and battery life!

I switched from another brand that didn't have nearly all the features and the battery would die during the day. This watch battery lasts for days and I forget that I'm wearing it! I love that I can track my sleep, check the weather, track all kinds of vitals and improve my health. The screen is beautiful and intuitive and the software is top notch. I'm absolutely in love with this watch and all the cool features!

Great everyday watch ... ability to monitor all health stats throughout the day, synch all data to Garmin Connect and the ECG function are game changers...longtime user of all Garmin cycling related products & apps...hands down...better than Apple watch.
