Exactly what I was looking for
on June 28, 2024
Posted by: Slabqueen
I love this watch so much. I mostly wanted it for bouldering and training for climbing, which it’s been great for. It has a bouldering and indoor climbing specific activity, which I love!!! And I love that i can wear it in the water to paddle board or whatever else I feel like doing. It looks super cute and I’m really glad I got the 3s over the 3, the screen is the perfect size for my small wrist. I think I might have a sensitivity to the silicone band, which I didn’t even realize was a possibility until I saw a Reddit about it. I thought I had a bug bite!! So if you are sensitive to certain materials maybe try a different band. But overall, I’m obsessed!!

I have been using my watch venu3s for 4 months and not using phone feature. This is 2nd time in approximately a month that I have had to go through set up process to connect phone to app taking an a lot of time and effort to connect and not understanding why! It takes setting up all over. I love my watch and app without this annoying issue.

Fitness + Fashion

I'm a pretty avid runner so I wanted a watch that could accurately track my runs but I also wanted something that I could wear casually and not look to 'performance'. This was it. I love all of the wellness features - sleep tracking and monthly cycle tracking. This watch is easy to use so if you are new to Garmin watches, you'll find it intuitive. Love that it also looks beautiful and I can wear it beyond just running.

Glitch I can't fix

When I leave or enter an area where my phone is not located, I receive a notification my phone has been either connected or disconnected. Very obnoxious.

This watch feels like the Apple Watches big brother. I've been an Apple Watch owner since they came out but switched to Garmin for the longer battery life and cleaner look. The design of the watch is much more professional than many other smart watches on the market. The side buttons do take a few days to get used to, but after that it becomes second nature to efficiently control the watch. If you're looking for a smart watch upgrade, this is the one for you!

I love this watch!

This watch is amazing! I've used it for several months now. I use it to track my workouts, steps, sleep, HR, & SO MUCH more. It helps me to compete with me. It did take me a few weeks to get used to it and all the different things it offers. I think this is perfect for anyone who is looking to improve their health. You won't regret this purchase!!

great fit and features. Lightweight. I don't like wearing watches as they intrude with typing. This one is great.

I've had this watch for about 2 weeks now, and I'm obsessed! The one flaw I've noticed is that it doesn't track steps well when you're pushing something (like a lawnmower). My apple health app counted 16k steps that day, and my Garmin watch only tracked 7k. Even when set on a "walk" with the GPS, it failed to correctly count steps. Other than that, it's fantastic for tracking runs, other types of walks, and even sleep! Very interesting to look deeper into your overall health and see how things fluctuate.
