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.

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!

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.

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

Husband bought it for me for Christmas. I previously had a Lily 2 and Apple. This is by far the best battery life and most accurate.

My Second Garmin Watch
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: Wrens
My original watch was wearing out. I didn't look at any other brands but researched Garmin diligently for an upgrade that was right for me. Chose the Venu 3S over the Fenix 8 by a narrow margin. Still learning the new aspects but loving my decision. Really like the new features and the old ones with new twists/graphics.
Only wish at this point is that syncing to phone was easier and we got notifications of software updates instead of finding out by needing to re-sync.

Sad!

Loved it until the battery life sucked! Had the watch just over a year, and loved it. Then all of a sudden battery just dies in less then a day when it used to last 5 days! GPS was great and loved the lifting features that counts your sets. I want to get another but worry about the battery doing the same thing. This is an expensive watch for the battery not to last.....
