good, but....

The Venu works great. I bought it to get the ECG feature. I like that and the other data I'm getting. The watch also works great for tracking most of the info I want related to my running workouts. However, I didn't realize that it doesn't give me all of the data that I was getting on my Forerunner. I no longer have info on the primary benefit of the run (threshold, base, etc.), and I no long have my training status. It would be really nice if Garmin could put the heart data and the running data on one watch, because I don't think any of the current offerings give me everything I want in one package.

Like watch won’t sync with android

I really like the watch. I use it for running and other activities. It will no longer sync with my android phone so I have it linked to my iPad. So I don’t get notifications on my phone obviously.

Got it for the battery

I was tired of charging my other watch every night and not recognizing my heart rate during workouts. I have not had issues with battery life or heart rate detection with the Venu 3S. My only complaint after wearing this watch for 2 weeks is the Bluetooth range with my phone. If my phone is in my bedroom and I am in the kitchen with my watch, my watch will not receive notifications.

Screen cracked way too easily

I accidentally dropped it and the screen cracked. It seems like it should be way harder to damage the screen on a sports watch. I like the functions especially the sleep tracking.

Regret Spending The Money
on August 17, 2024

I regret spending this much money on something I really don't understand how to use. I guess I'm old fashioned preferring to have a user's manual I can hold and read. I don't like reading on a app.

I am really pleased with this watch. I like it better than the iWatch even though it doesn't have as many tech features. I will not go back to Apple Watches over Garnin.

Love all the features of this watch, specifically the sleep and stress tracking. One thing I would like is more watch face options, however, I still prefer the venu 3 over the Apple Watch.

Garmin with smaller face

Got this for my daughter and she loves it. It does everything my 965 does (I think) with a smaller face for her smaller wrist.
