Features and fit are exceptional

I have been wearing my new Garmin3s for over a month now. I use the gps function for walking 3 or more times per week and have charged the battery twice. So far battery is very good at holding a charge even with phone calls connected and messaging

Love the sleep feature

Got this for Christmas and love it. Took me sometime to get use to the feeling of it on my wrist but now it’s like it’s not there anymore. Love the sleep tracker the most. Haven’t taken it out on a run yet but I’m sure it’ll work great.

Didn't connect

This was my first watch I purchased, sadly I only used it for about 30 minutes, It would not connect to my phone after months of research sadly I returned it and will wait for another sale to repurchase it,(Yes I asked support, restarted, everything) as I bought on special and it went up to regular price. The color was everything and it was not heavy I am 4'11'' and it fit just fine!

I got this watch to replace my Oura ring . Easy set up , no monthly fee , tracks everything I wanted , not easily lost , I could go on and on . Got a leather band off of Etsy . Love that I can put photos on it too.

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.

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.
