Nice upgrade from a Vivoactive
Garmin makes great fitness watches. I bought this when my 4-year-old Vivoactive started to lose battery life. The Venu 3 is an upgrade in almost every way. One of the features I like about Garmin watches is how long a charge lasts. I was concerned that the new, brighter screen would shorten battery life but I still get nearly 2 weeks on a charge and work out 3-4 times a week. The new heart rate sensor is accurate enough for me to ditch my old chest strap, which is a big plus. I also am enjoying the improved sleep tracking. Being able to load music and connect to my bluetooth headphones means I can run or bicycle without needing to carry my phone

Best fitness based watch for the price range!
I traded in my Apple Watch Series 6 for this and honestly do not regret it. The Apple Watch had issues with detecting my wrist underneath my tattoos but this watch does so with zero issue. The only downside is not being able to control my music playing on my phone with it, but it is not Apple proprietary so it makes sense. I love how fitness focused this watch is and really helps me track every workout I do for the most part. The ability to track your strength workouts down to the sets, reps and weight is a huge pro in itself. I haven’t been able to test the GPS aspect when it comes to outdoor workouts because of the cold but I’m sure it will work superior to an Apple Watch.

Garmin Venu 3
So far so good , it does everything the wife wants it to do, battery life for the activities she has running is about 2 weeks and she loves the sleep score and sleep coach, and her favorite is able to use your own picture from your phone as a watch face. Garmin is on top for a smart watch.
