Great with the exception of the battery life.

This is a replacement because my original ones
Battery life declined to 3 days in less then six months Originally it lasted 6-7. The one I have now is not lasting as long either, I may get 4 days out of a charge so it’s disappointing because I left my Apple watch for this only because of the battery life.

This product is hands down 100% better than it's Fitbit equal, only regret is that it took me so long to switch. This fitness watch is feature rich and sometimes overwhelming so. Battery life was great until I switched to read pulse ox now i have to charge every 3 days that's a choice.
I wish I had more options to display the data in the app. They updated and now I can only view information in their display style. Unlike Fitbit it's hard to cheat steps which is good swinging your arm doesn't work. It's great when I've gone swimming! Overall I love it but wish it was easier to get help on how to fully take advantage of all the features.

Some features, such as weather, do not update in a timely manner. However, everything else is great! I use it to track runs, hikes, lifting, and climbing. I love all of the metrics from the fitness tracking. Also the sleep score and HRV data points are very insightful.

Great smart watch

I bought this about a month ago and have been wearing three weeks. I love the features it has and how accurate the information is. I will say that while the features are amazing, the more you have on and use the faster the battery drains. I get 7 days with auto activity, heart rate, and minimal notifications during the day and pulse ox running only at night. Shy of 10 days but better than the 3 days I was getting out of my Fitbit Luxe. I find it super comfortable to wear and not as intrusive as I was worried about it being. I just love it.

The Venu S3 is a very solid option for an intermediate runner or someone who likes moving. I wish the S option was slightly smaller, but the size is good. If you are just getting into running, I'd definitely recommend one of the cheaper options, that will have a lot of the same features, but will not look as nice as the Venu.
