Great phone feature. Easy to use and no one has noticed I’m on the watch vs the actual phone. Also the battery life is long. 7 days wearing it 24/7.

Great watch except for golf

We've been using this watch for about a month. Love it as a fitness watch. The display is awesome. Many great features too. However, my husband (who has a new Venue 3) and I have had multiple issues on the golf course. Neither watch gives real-time distance to the green while playing. And about half the time doesn't give shot distance. Sometimes if we swipe to the next hole or the previous hole we can get it to work. But not always. But then if by chance, it is measuring your shot, you lose that as you swipe to a different hole. It's very frustrating. We went to the Garmin service center and we were told that this is a known issue that the techs are working on. Hoping they get it resolved very soon as his Vivoactive 5 and my Venue 2 worked great on the golf course.

Glad I made the switch from Samsung!

My husband bought me this watch as a gift for graduation. I was beyond impressed with the battery life. My old watch was having to be charges every 30 hours. With my Venu S with the same level of notifications and alerts turned on, I have to charge it after day 7. Did you read that...DAY 7. My only feedback....I would love to see the app have a battery meter so when charging you can tell when it's fully charged. Any other flaw is not a flaw but a preference and I have made adjustments. I absolutely love this watch!!! Worth it!

I upgraded from an original Venu SQ after giving up on a Venu SQ3 release. Very happy with the additional features that I thought I didn't need. Great watch!

Great product by Garmin, that's also a great value. I've been using Fenix watches for all my climbing and mountaineering activities. I got this for my wife for regular usage and health monitoring. Garmin is the best for health stats, and with excellent battery life, allows you to wear it overnight to capture most important stats. I've been pleasantly surprised at the battery life on this unit, which has a great screen as well. It's not as high as Fenix, but holds up for over a week. The new heart rate sensor is excellent as our all the new metrics on stress and reminders to calm down and take a breath. Great watch. Highly recommended.

Long battery life sold me!

I bought this watch a month ago after reviewing it for a bit, and, so far I love it! Main reason for changing from an IWatch was the battery life!
Really like the sleep feature and the body battery feature.also, the ability to customize my heart zones.

Haven’t used it outside for hiking or biking yet but looking forward to it.

It's pretty but I'm not in love

For what it cost, it could be better. Voice assistant is nice but doesn't always connect/work. It hasn't detected a to nap yet. It does seem to track my steps, GPS, and heart rate during cardio well. Battery last 5 days with pulse ox on during sleep. I suggest going with vivoactive 5 if you don't need voice assistant/mic.
