Definitely an upgrade from my venue SQ with lots of extra features. Love that it has the ECG app built-in downloadable apps for extra workout plans. GPS is phenomenal. battery life is great. Just love everything about this watch so glad I switched. heart rate and calorie count steps. Everything is pretty accurate. Nothing beats a Garmin. brighter watch face with larger font is very helpful and also has a built-in flashlight app. there are so many great things about this watch can’t list them all
Got this watch for Christmas and I absolutely love it! I previously had an Apple watch and have been eyeing the Garmin brand. I think Apple is a great smart watch, but this is more suited to those into fitness (which I am). I love the longevity of the battery and how quickly it recharges. I am actually able to wear it at night to track my sleep and usually only take it off to charge when I shower. Literally just charging it then keeps the battery full which is sooo nice. I also love the ability to input and track my strength workouts and how it analyzes/gives you so much data at the end. Overall very happy with this watch!
I have been an apple watch user for the last 7 years, and decided to make the change to the Garmin this year, and I have no regrets! My favorite part is that I don't have to charge my watch everyday nor do I have to worry about it dying before the end of the day. It gives much more in-depth details which is awesome, and round face is so stylish. The ONLY minor complaint that I miss is that I can't ping my phone to find it when I so often misplace it!
I have been wearing a Garmin watch for 30 plus years. Have had at least 5 of the different models and have always loved them. Switched from fit bit because back then, they were only water resistant and Garmin was water proof. As I like to swim as well as walk, that was important. Next month I will be 75 and still enjoy getting the vibration letting me know I am passed 10,000 steps and often get to 20,000 in a day. Love my new Venu and how easy it was to install the watch.
I had been a Fitbit user for 10years and with the changes in their platform decided to switch to the Garmin and I was not disappointed! The watch is very sturdy and fashionable, the display is amazing and it has soooo many features. The App collects all your data too. I am so glad I made the switch!
I purchased this about a month ago to replace a FitBit that wouldn't hold a charge. This is my second Garmin - the first was a VivoActive 3. The battery life on these is amazing, their battery management is outstanding. Since my last Garmin, the software has made some major improvements - exercise detail, sleep detail, body battery are fantastic! The clarity of the screen is amazing too - and all of this only requires a once per week charging.
