Amazing Watch!
I’ve had nothing but praise for the Garmin Venu 3 since the day I put it on. It’s everything I could ask for in a smartwatch, and then some. First off, accuracy is spot on. Whether I’m tracking heart rate, sleep, steps, GPS routes, or workouts, it delivers consistently reliable data. I’ve compared it to other fitness trackers and even medical-grade devices out of curiosity, and the Venu 3 holds its own with flying colors. What truly sets this watch apart is how classy and sleek it looks. It’s got the perfect balance of modern design and premium feel, clean enough for the gym but stylish enough for a night out or the office. It’s not bulky, it’s not flashy, it’s just right. As for reliability, the Venu 3 nails it. No lag, no glitches, no connectivity issues. It syncs effortlessly with my phone, shows notifications clearly, and I never have to worry about whether it’s going to do what I need it to do. Convenience is another huge plus. The customizable widgets, long battery life (seriously, days without charging), fast charging, and intuitive interface make it easy to use throughout a busy day. Whether I’m running, lifting, working, or sleeping, it adapts to my routine and helps me stay on top of everything. And finally, durability. This watch is built to last. I’ve worn it during intense workouts, outdoor runs, bike rides in the rain, and daily wear without a single issue. It still looks and works like new. I would 100% recommend the Garmin Venu 3 to anyone looking for a reliable, accurate, and stylish smartwatch that can handle it all; fitness, health, productivity, and everyday life. Garmin nailed it with this one.

In love
I love my Garmin Venu 3. I initially purchased the Venu 3S but replaced it with this coz I like a bigger screen. I should have went for the Venu 3 straight up coz I had to pay fror recycling fee…for what? Anyway, I still have my Apple watch just to put it out there but I hate that i have to charge everyday. With the Garmin, I charge once every 2 weeks. I wear it all day coz I monitor my Stress, HRV, Pulse ox, Sleep Score and a lot more. Apple has it’s own beauty but I am so far in love with the Venu3.

First Garmin watch. Nice hybrid
I don't normally give reviews but felt this watch deserves it. I'm not fully up to date on all the smart watches, I don't always wear one. I'm coming from a Galaxy Watch 3 or 4, honestly forget, haha. I've worn this for almost 48 hours now, been using to track sleep, I've gone for one run so far, my battery is sitting at 83%. It takes a little getting used to coming from the Galaxy. I really like the light weight, very nice screen. I dabbled around with the golf gps and it will serve it's purpose for stats and distance if you would like to use it for that. As someone new to the Garmin and smart watch family I highly recommend this as a nice hybrid watch. I've already switched the band to something a little different. I also synced some podcasts to the watch. My only cons is the connect IQ app is a little wonky sometimes when syncing the phone and also the interface feels a little clunky but some of that is im not used to it. The galaxy I liked having the different "app widgets" you could rotate to. This you have something similar but you swipe down and put in the data you want to see. The other con unless I'm doing it wrong is i can only see the current day of my synced Google calendar but not the whole month. I can't comment on all the activities as I'm still messing around as it is setup differently than the galaxy watch. Overall very pleased. Synced with a Pixel 7 phone.
