I switched from my Apple Watch to this Garmin about 6 months ago. And I really like the increased fitness aspects! This tracks so much more than my other watch did and the battery life is amazing. I love that my sleep is tracked too. This watch can also create running programs for you based on your goals and I love how detailed the snowboarding workout is. The only thing I wish was better is some of technological aspects. I miss being able to respond to texts and pinging my phone when I can't find it. Overall this is a really great watch for an active person or anyone looking to improve their health.
I bought this watch because I was in need of replacing my old one but was sold on this watch because of all the great features. Specifically, the HRV status. My dad has AFib and it is hereditary and that was the top selling feature for me. It has some great features including the motivation to get up and get moving and a daily inspiration to make it a great day. Lots of in-depth details on sleep, activities, naps, etc. Affordable watch with numerous features.
I have been a samsung watch gal for years but decided to make a switch...and u am so happy I did! First of all... the battery life is amazing. I also like the detail of the workout tracking....could not be happIer!
So many features that fit my life. If you are an active senior adult I can't say enough. I run, bike, kayak, golf, swim; the Venu 3s keeps me up with and motivates me. The feedback is invaluable, and the Link Track feature gives me piece of mind that a family or friend knows where I'm at when off in the woods for a run or out in the water alone. So glad my Fitbit died after 12 years. Hope I get as many out of this Garmin.
I love the watch and how it looks like. I am having difficult time with it recording certain elements. It is also not very accurate when you are doing low impact exercise. The Pilate and strength is more accurate with Apple Watch. Over all I like the watch
I bought the watch two weeks ago and up to now am very satisfied with its performance and all of the integrated features. Especially the customizable options for additional clients such as Komoot or Spotify and also its flexibility when it comes to accessories (create your own watch face, etc.). The problem is with connectivity. The bluetooth connection has needed to be reset three times because the watch and my phone cannot reconnect on their own. This occurs in the morning when you first get up, and if you leave the sleep report before getting close to your phone,...then it drops the connection and needs to be completely set up again from the start (delete the watch from the phone and restart/reboot both devices and then run through the whole set up process again). This is a BIG problem and needs to be corrected by GARMIN.
