I have always had an Apple Watch...ever since the first one came out. I decided to try something else. I love this watch. It is less cluttered and easy to use. I run, bike, ect and I love the metrics on this watch. I works seamlessly with my iPhone as far as getting messages ect.

Absolutely in love!

I’ve been using the Venu 3s for several weeks straight now and LOVE it. This was an upgrade for me from the Vivoactive 3s which I also loved, but the Venu can do so much more. I love that I can now track my HIIT workouts (previously I just used the Strength mode since the vivoactive didn’t have HIIT mode), and I really enjoy the workout summaries right on my watch telling me how I performed and how this affects my day, and also how long it will take me to recover.
I love the Sleep score, Body Battery and sleep coach. Although my husband’s vivoactive 4 also shows body battery, I think the Venu 3 gives way more detail. When I got sick, the body battery indicator really was accurate with how I felt! And the sleep stats were very helpful in understanding the rest I needed.
The Venu also really does last so long - mine lasts a full 7 days without recharging (probably can last longer but I usually charge when it gets down to 30%) so I really love that!
It can do a lot of “Apple Watch” like features but I personally don’t care about those things so I have those all turned off - it’s why I got a Garmin in the first place vs an Apple Watch. I love that they have the options there if you want it, but can turn off for people like me who solely care about the fitness/health tracking!

I’m 81 and I love my Venu 3S. It’s easy to read and has the features I need. I went from a Lily to 3S and it is such a great upgrade. Love the features and the styling.

The watch I’ve been waiting for!

I am so happy with the changes the venu 3s has made over my previous beloved 2s. The sleep and activity changes are awesome and I like the dim screen feature when you are sleeping. I use gps at least an hour each day and I’m getting 4+ days between charges. Nap tracking is problematic. Adding a manual nap option and clearer instructions would be helpful. Buying this was a good decision for me.
