The interface of the watch is easy to use and provides lots of information, such as sleep score, recovery time, and much more. Additionally, the battery life is amazing! I record around 5 runs a week and only have to charge it around once a week.

This is perfect for the person looking for both exercise tracking and general health tracking. Garmin's software is simple but intuitive - very easy to navigate. Simple right out of the box.

Great watch! Long battery life, fits small wrist, screen colors bright, easy to use

Really enjoy this watch, it does everything I was hoping it would do. You can customize which information you see during exercise, which is really helpful. The route that an exercise maps out is very accurate. The battery lasts a very long time. Almost everything is spot on. The flights of stairs has been off with the last update, but I'm sure they will get that fixed. I am a woman with a small wrist and the watch doesn't overwhelm it at all, so I don't look like I'm wearing my dad's watch. I've tried the Garmin coach for running and it's a good program. I did wear it snorkeling many times while on vacation in the Virgin Islands. The route it mapped was very accurate. I did get a couple scratches on the glass during that vacation, but that was my own personal experiment. I don't like the watch band, it didn't hold the tail in very well. I was able to get an after market silicone watch band off etsy that's really pretty and the tail clips in.

Love that this watch looks high end enough to wear to my professional day job and still has all the sports features I need for my marathon training. Favorite Garmin purchase so far!

This is an awesome watch that tracks all your stats perfectly and accurately. It charges fast and it also holds a charge well. The screen is great and very durable!

Enjoy it more than I thought I would

This is my first smartwatch and I love it. There is a learning curve at first, but once you learn to navigate the screens, it's a breeze. That said, I have yet to enable all of the features as the number of them is still overwhelming.
I'm petite and have small wrists and the watch does not feel too large. The French gray is basically taupe, but it's a great versatile color. I have it set to always-on with low brightness and can typically get 4 days out of a battery charge. As a new smartwatch user, the Venu3s has exceeded my expectations.

Great and stylish watch that records all activities that I like to do (from HIIT workouts to skiing or just a simple walk)
Battery lasts for 9 days and it charges quickly.
I also like the Garmin App which allows me to share my activities with other Garmin users.

not so happy

I purchased the device which is not cheap at all. It’s a pity that there isn’t an automatic sync for contacts like there used to be in an old device I had. Also, it is still not possible to initiate viewing messages and/or sending messages from the watch to the mobile device.
