I switched from Apple Watch and could not be happier with it! The battery life is amazing, there are so many features and I just can’t believe how much this watch does!

I've been looking at this product for about 9 months. I researched it then thought about it, table the idea then do it all over again. I finally took the plunge a couple weeks ago. What a great product! It does way more than I need but what I do use is great. What really sold me is that I'm not required to "subscribe" after some trial period to keep getting data.
It is fairly easy to navigate. The app could be a little more user friendly for the data pertaining to health and performance. But once I went through the maze of options, I found my own niche. And it would be nice if it had its own stand-alone food and calorie log rather than having to use an outside app. (I always hate feeling pressured to go "premium" for every little thing.)
I love how well it helps you to understand the data collected and it helps you to improve in whatever it is you are needing. The sleep information is very informative.
Styling- It looks great, it's not heavy nor bulky. The silicone band is a good size for smaller wrists. It's large enough to see without readers. The screen lighting isn't too bright so it isn't disruptive when you look at it during those restless nights. But it's easily seen during the day, even outdoors.
Overall, I'm completely sold on the Garmin Venu 3S and have zero regrets on this purchase.

I had been an Apple Watch user for around 10 years so I was hesitant to switch to anything else. After having my Garmin for over a month now I’m so glad I made the transition. I originally got it for training for a half marathon, but now I’ve come to love ALL of its features such as my sleep score, body battery, recovery time, long battery life, accurate heart rate tracker, etc. This watch has helped me pay attention to my health and feel stronger & properly recovered for a workout instead of “closing rings” like I did with my Apple Watch. I fully recommend to this everyone!

Only one drawback......

I would totally give this watch a 5, except for one thing. When answering calls, I can barely hear the call. I've checked the settings several times and literally have it up as far as it will go. I just shout that I'll call them back later on my phone. Other than that,. I love all the features. The watch is stylish and keeps an accurate record of my hikes on the trails. The battery life is better than expected. I'm very pleased with the watch overall.

More comfortable than expected.

I’ve had my Venu for a month now, and it keeps me more in tune with my health. While I haven’t taken advantage of all the features yet, I feel more confident in my ability to prepare for my future health.
It is small enough to not be in the way, and the band I swapped out makes it more comfortable and so easy to adjust on the fly.

I came from being an avid Apple Watch fan, and the SE model. I was influenced by all the content from other apple users online to get the watch. I'm just really REALLY disappointed and sad that there is no way to backlog alllll my data from Apple Health or my Fitness account. There's some ways around importing your walks, runs, and cycling, but not my YEARS of data. If I try not to think about it or dwell on it too much then it's fine.
