Battery life is not accurate
on October 5, 2024
Posted by: Claudinha
The battery of my first Venu 3S I got about a month ago only lasted about 3 days so I called in and I was sent a new watch, well, this one lasts right about the same if not a little less. This is disappointing because this is one of the main reasons I got this watch, that the battery would last 9 days. My vivoactive 4 would last right about the same. Not sure what my options are at this point.

Great but could be better

I’ve had this for roughly six months I like it but I have some issues with it. The screen scratches kinda easily which is upsetting since I know some of their other watches don’t. Also if I rush my teeth it counts it as steps which then gives me an inaccurate number while some of their other watches don’t like the Fenix. Other than that I have enjoyed it.

My favorite Garmin so far!!!

I've always owned Garmin's from the day I started wearing fitness watches. Thus one has the best featured and functionality so far. I love how it's easy to swipe through and setup is a breeze.

It’s ok…room for improvement

I don’t like that you have to sync the watch to a desktop change the dial appearance. It’s a pain and my older Garmin watch was easier to change to any appearance, talk to text feature works so so, volume is pretty low on the highest setting so I still end up having to pull my phone out to talk, do not disturb and sleep mode randomly turns on in the middle of the day.

Tons of Features, but some connection issues

So many cool features on this watch. I wanted one that I could use on the golf course as well which that feature is nice to have on the course. I think my biggest issue is that it struggles to keep a connection to my Pixel phone. There are times where I like that it's not connected, although to reconnect you typically have to power cycle everything and sometimes even uninstall the app which is a little annoying. It seems to be an issue with PIxel phones, although I haven't really looked at anyone else. If you want to always be connected, you might want to try to search your phone and this watch to see if there are any issues.

Lots of features!

I've only had this watch for 2 weeks and I'm really enjoying it! There are so many things this watch can do that it's going to take some time to learn all the ins and outs. Right now I'm primarily using it for golf and my workouts and it's awesome!

I love it when it works

When it works it is fantastic but three time in a the last month I have had to reset the watch in order for it to connect to my phone. It is 6 months old and resetting it means setting it up again. I plan on calling customer service

Love it

Bought this recently and love it. The features are very similar/better than the Apple Watch and the battery life is sooo much better. I only have to charge this once a week, rather than every night for an Apple Watch. It makes it infinitely more usable.
