Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Garmin Venu 3S from Best Buy because it was eligible for a price match, and the entire experience was incredibly easy. I reached out to customer service via chat, and the price adjustment was handled quickly with no hassle at all. On top of that, the watch arrived much faster than I expected, which was a great bonus. I wanted this watch mainly to help motivate me to get moving, and it has been doing exactly that. I was coming from an Apple Watch, which is very plug-and-play and easy to set up, so there was a small learning curve at first. However, once I got used to it, I realized how much more customizable and data-rich this watch is. It truly feels like a small computer on your wrist. I also have a smaller wrist and was a bit worried I would find it bulky, especially since my Apple Watch always felt heavy and uncomfortable, which meant I rarely wore it. The Venu 3S is lightweight and extremely comfortable, to the point where I only take it off to shower or charge it. I genuinely hate taking it off, which says a lot. One of my favorite features is how many different activities you can track. It feels like almost anything you do can be recorded, and even when you are very active, it still provides recovery insights, which I love. The sleep score and Body Battery have quickly become part of my daily routine, and the battery life is a huge upgrade, lasting about 4 to 5 days before needing a recharge. Overall, this watch offers far more health and fitness insights compared to the Apple Watch, and it has completely changed how I engage with my activity and recovery. I never reached for my Apple Watch, but this is one I never want to take off. I am especially excited to start using it to train for a half marathon. Highly recommend for anyone who wants deeper health metrics, strong battery life, and real motivation to stay active.

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!

I have had other smart watches but this one is my favorite. So nice in its design. I have the ability to track my runs in all the places I travel and I can keep a close eye on my heart. Easy to use beautiful perfect for a runner excercise enthusiast and any one who has heart concerns the apps work beautifully with this watch.

Such an excellent product. First let’s start with clarity, brightness is outstanding. Light weight, battery life is awesome! I haven’t charged it for three days. I haven’t had the bane to use it for an actual workout but I now that it will be accurate . Notifications calls are all clear has find my device on it, alarm is awesome voice controlled. I love the shape, due to me having little wrist the. Ircle shap is perfect. Over all extremely satisfied

I love my garmin products!! This watch/fitness tracker has been my favorite by far. I love how cute the style is, not just another bulky fitness tracker. The batter life is amazing, connectivity is great and it does everything I need.

Perfect! So helpful in everything especially in my health aspect. Battery is long-lasting. great design!

I recently switched over from Apple Watch and so far I love it. The battery life alone makes the watch worth it! I also have a small wrist and it does not look bulky.

I recommend this watch, it is quite precise and has many functions and to monitor many activities besides being easy, its weight is very light that I can even sleep with it, it sends you notifications when you should get active when your sleep is deficient or if you have to take a break among others... so if you want something to keep good track of your activities and that does not bother you on your wrist, I recommend it, also you can use it with any type of clothing.

I’m really impressed with the Venu 3S. It’s sleek, lightweight, and packed with features. The display is super crisp, and I love how easily it transitions from workouts to everyday wear. The fitness tracking is spot-on, and the built-in GPS is fast and accurate. Battery life is excellent, and it syncs seamlessly with my phone. I switched from an Apple Watch so I do miss some of the integrations but so far it has surpassed my expectations.

I’ve been using the Garmin Venu for a while now and I love how seamlessly it blends fitness tracking with a sleek smartwatch look. The display is vibrant, the battery life is impressive, and I really appreciate the detailed health metrics—especially for sleep and stress. It’s been a great companion for both workouts and daily life!

Love my Garmin—accurate, stylish, and super smart!

I’ve loved this watch. I struggled to be consistent with Apple Watch because it didn’t look as sleek, and I wanted to not have to charge every night and be able to use sleep tracking regularly. This gets a full charge in less than an hour. I’ve had it for over 6 months and don’t have any scratches or signs of wear.

This works with Apple or android the battery lasts for a week at least so you can wear it while you’re sleeping and it attracts your sleep and your body battery to let you know how you’re physically during during the day one thing is you cannot text on it and make phone calls with it but I am OK with that because that just means I’m not messing with it more to send text messages out.

Love my Garmin so much more than my Apple Watch. If you want to focus on your fitness goals more than your notifications, get a Garmin. This one is the most like a smart watch, and for that reason it was my intro into the Garmin world. I do think in the future, I will probably get one of them more advanced Garmins that allow for more athletic reports and a more analog interface. You can customize this watch to do more or less of what you do or do not want it to do, where is with Apple products you are stuck with the interface they have you using. I’m so glad I made the switch. (I have owned it for almost 2 years)

works well, i got it to help keep track of my running but as someone who works in healthcare i found that it definitely helps me at work knowing what time it is and seeing my notifications without touching my phone. i really like it and i like all the little extra things it can do like monitor my HR and sleep and stress status. definitely helps me get in tune with my health. gives you insights about taking relaxing moments and to alerts of high or low HR. also looks very chic and i’m an extremely clumsy person and i’ve dropped it or banged it against some things multiple times and its in pristine condition! 10/10 recommend

I love this watch so much! I had a massive tan line after the summer because I never take it off. I got this to keep track of my steps. Track my sleep. It’s end up being so much more. It’s been accurate on my stress levels and keeps me motivated. I’ve had an Apple Watch and Samsung but this is my favorite. Oh and the battery life is crazy atleast a week before having to charge it but usually more.

Great watch! Has ALL the things! Gps, accurate steps, monitors sleep and heart rate, and so much more. The battery life is the best- 10 days! Connects to phone via blue tooth. Highly recommend

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!

I went back and forth when choosing a watch and my biggest concerns were size of watch that could look nice during work and stand the durability when I worked out. I also wanted an excellent tracker for my health and sleep and one that could notify me without caring my phone all day. All the checkboxes!

I finally made the switch from the Apple Watch to the Garmin watch and I couldn’t be happier. The Garmin give so many details the Apple Watch didn’t offer. The battery life is amazing and don’t have to worry about it dying mid workout. The venue 3s fit me better as it is smaller.
