I received Venu as an anniversary gift. This was the best gift ever. I’m on a health and fitness journey, and this watch has been a wonderful help on this journey. It does everything I need it to do to help me be successful.

Love my new garmin battery is at least 12 days. So many features, still figuring them all out. Love the ECG option. Nice size, so much easier to read than my other watch

Great health tracking and motivational features!

My Venu 3s has a huge array of health monitoring features, some that are widely known and available in other brands, and some, like the body battery that I have come to appreciate a great deal.
The pulse rate measurement matches with a beat a minute to a chest strap measurement at rest and during strenuous exercise (180 bpm) as long as I alert the watch that I am exercising.
Sleep tracking score also very accurately measures my recovery. Having an ECG trace is also very informative.
The Venu 3s does everything I need and more, it is reasonably priced, allows communication when my smartphone is not accessible and has a phenomenal battery life - 10 times longer than other smart watches on the market.

Too complicated

I bought this a month ago and in that time have tried to learn how to set it some of its functions and have had a heck of a time. I think it's designed for techies and not for old seniors like myself. So it was a waste of money to me but I really wanted it to work.

Does Everything I need.

I bought this watch to track workouts, mainly gym workouts and runs. The watch has been great so far! I really like the custom watch faces available and that it has an option to save running routes into the watch. It has been super helpful when I try out new running routes. The music option for the watch is kind of clunky since you have to download music or podcasts prior to the run, but I understand that is the limit of the technology. It also struggles to pair with my AirPods, which is a little annoying. Otherwise, it’s perfect for my needs!

I bought it last month to find a watch that has both running/fitness features as well as advanced smartwatch features and the Venu 3s has it.

Spot on accurate
on August 11, 2025

Had this for just about 3 weeks now and it is spot on accurate with everything you want it to do. Steps, calories, heart rate, sleep score, literally everything. Just figured out it pairs with Myfittnesspal and now it is allowing me to be so intune with my weight loss journey.
