Best switch from Apple Watch!
I recently switched to the Garmin Venu 3S after using an Apple Watch for years, and man how I wish I would’ve switched sooner. This watch is so much sleeker and I can’t get over how light weight it is. It feels great on my wrist, and I barely notice I’m wearing it. The number of exercise activities it tracks is insane. Whether it’s my usual workouts or something new I want to try, it’s got it. And the battery life is honestly amazing. I used to have to charge my Apple Watch daily, but with this, I can go days before needing to plug it in. For the same price as an Apple Watch, you get way more features, a better design, and something that’s actually fashionable enough to wear all the time. I haven’t really messed with it too much but you can use the Garmin app to change the Watch face and side buttons. Which is the only thing I still need to figure out and get used to. The buttons and swipe motions are a little tricky to get used to at first, it seems Garmin watches mainly use the side buttons to navigate, when I’m used to using the touchscreen, but that’s just a learning curve. Overall, I’m obsessed and have zero regrets. I can’t see myself going back to an Apple Watch after this. Highly recommend!

A fitness watch that meets my needs!
After doing research on fitness watches I decided to purchase the Garmin-Venu 3S GPS Smartwatch. It didn't disappoint. It was so easy to set up and operate from the beginning. It paired with my phone with ease. I was looking for a watch that would have a long-lasting battery, and I have found it to be as they advertised. I'm thrilled with my new watch! Thank you, Garmin, for making a quality product!
