Fun watch and EXTENDED battery life!!
on July 22, 2024
Posted by: AlpaCat
I changed from Fitbit because of connection issues with my Apple 14 pro. I find Garmin similar in options with some extras: EKG and other apps. I use find my phone all the time (as long as it is in range — but it did keep trying to connect while I walked around the yard; it finally connected and found it). I love the extended battery life. My son/wife are getting up to 10 days; I’m getting 6 at most so far—probably due to settings.
Only problem is it a bit more than occasionally disconnects so I have to manually sync.

This watch has lived up to my expectations and more. Seems to have very accurate data collection, easy to read screen and the app makes life very easy. The only downside is the battery life is not 14 days more like 8, for me this is not a big deal. Highly recommend also very stylish.

Love my Venu 3s Garmin watch
on July 20, 2024
Posted by: Basmith
I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago. I had a vivoactive 4s before and had really like that. The Venu 3s is an even better watch. The screen is brighter and easier to read. The battery life is excellent. I like that it measures my pulse ox, gives me a HRV status, and sleep score, among other things. It also gives more information about each category that can be read from the watch. I can use Siri right from my watch and the sound is pretty good. I can play music, which I don’t really use. I can also answer a phone call from my watch. Because I have an iPhone, I’m not able to reply to texts or see pictures if included in texts. I use the walking, pickleball, yoga, golf, and Pilates activities. The pickleball app can use gps while outdoors, which is kind of comical when looking at the activity when it’s done. Overall, I’m very happy with this watch.

I’ve been using the apple watch for exercise for a long time. One of the drawbacks Was that it didn’t stay charged as long as the Garmin. This is a phenomenal feature of the Garmin has to stay charged for a week or more. The Garmin has so many more features, but this makes the watch quite complicated to use. It’s not as intuitive as the I watch for this reason I give it a middle rating for those who have time to go through and figure out-I would suspect it has a superb rating.

It keeps disconnecting from my phone. I Don't know why, and I have to restart it, and sometimes I can't get it connected. Frustrating

Perfect for everyday wear + running + hiking. Battery lasts long enough for 3-day backpacking trips while GPS tracking is constantly on. With normal use the battery generally lasts over a week.
