Very pretty watch.

I love the look of the watch. However, it is difficult to use. I downloaded the manual, and it will take me a while before I can successfully use it the way I need to. I wish I could find a place where I can receive hands-on instruction so I can get more familiar with it easier.

The watch strap is too narrow

It could easily be 22mm at the base and the rest of the strap reduced

Love the upgrades

I upgraded from the Venu 2S and I really love the changes. The watch face continues to get clearer and crisper. Love the addition of the nap feature, the morning report and the daily recap with notes for improvement.

Great Features!

I bought my watch a month ago and love it! Understanding my sleep and how my diet has affected it is amazing! I love knowing how my body recovers. Only thing that is way off is calories burned during some of the exercise modes - I don’t worry about those as much as my step count!

So cute

I love this watch I love how much more accurate it is during my workouts and how many more features it has in general. I do not use this for any messaging only for workouts and it’s so cute for every day fits

Great except for notifications!

I switched from Apple Watch to Garmin Venu3S for the battery life and it does not disappoint! It’s great except that I have to manual delete every notification!! There should be a Clear All button.

Too easy to delete workouts unintentionally
on January 17, 2026
Posted by: RunnerAnnRB
This is maybe my 10th Garmin product (maybe more) and it looks nice, but really isn’t good for running, as it is very easy to unintentionally delete a workout. On my prior watches you always had to confirm if you wanted to delete a workout, but this one just deletes if you brush the touchscreen. Not ideal to say the least. I’ve tried to ask Garmin support if I can turn that function off, but they said I cannot.
