||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great display. Superb sleep metrics. Exercise recording/heart rate/O2 sat/respiratory rate/ gps seems accurate. Garmin connect and exercise plans/visuals a plus.

Love this watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as a replacement for a Tic Watch Pro that stopped charging. Love this watch. Lots of functionality and easy to use. Only issue is the charging wire. Like other watches from Tic, Apple, etc., it needs a special wire. Worse, the wire plugs into the back of the watch. It's a tight fit and leaves the watch at an angel that makes it hard to see the face. Good news is that it charges quickly and I only need to charge it every 3 days. Also connects to my bike and to my Garmin bike computer so it tracks everything and every sensor. Also like the sleep function and that the watch face dims significantly once in sleep mode.

Great features.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Garmin Venu 3 GPS has great battery life, and I enjoy not having to charge the watch frequently. I moved away from the apple watch because the battery life is horrible. The watch is also light weight and comfortable and provides excellent exercise performance monitoring. Also, the Garmin Venu 3 GPS is a great looking watch. I highly recommend the watch for those moving away from Apple watch.

Great All Around
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sport tracker. I like the side buttons. Battery life is close to what is advertised. If you run a lot of things on it you get about 7-10 days. I researched a few different watches and really liked the features on this one. Taking calls is good but speaker could be louder. All monitoring works great. I did put a screen protector on it and it has saved the face. Band is good but wish there was another option besides rubber band. I have had this for a couple of months now and really like it.

The Switch to Garmin from AppleWatch and Fitbit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my husband and he is loving it! He went from and AppleWatch to Garmin (I myself switched from Fitbit to Garmin in September 2024 and love it, hence his switch to Garmin as well...plus we can challenge each other on the app haha)! Fitbit was nice but Garming truly comes with so much more in regard to many aspects (fitness tracking abilities, styles, customizing, etc.). He has been wearing the Venu 3 for a couple weeks now and has truly enjoyed it. His only issue is not finding his band the most comfortable but luckily that is an easy fix since there are quick and easy band change options.

Garmin watch review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a very good watch. It can withstand all conditions it is put through. Water, getting dropped on concrete, corners, and even rocks. Never cracking. It also tracks very well and tells you everything you need and want to know all the time. The multitude of features on the watch such as music and how it tracks your heart beat. Also tracking my sleep to let me know when I didn’t sleep enough helping me get the right amount of sleep each night.

Simple operation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is not too complicated to use for the everyday person, unlike some watches that are great but have too many functions, many that go unused. This watch is also hasa very nice design.

Great Smart/Fitness Watch!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First smart/fitness watch and I am loving it. The set-up was relatively easy, and the various features (i.e., training, sleep tracking, nutrition, etc.) keep me focused on achieving my goals. Further, the addition of the smartwatch capability in the Venu 3 was a big selling point. Lastly, I love how it integrates with myfitnesspal, which I track for my nutrition and workouts. Only thing I'm still trying to figure out is the text message notifications from my iPhone, which are not presently coming through to my watch.

From Galaxy watch 5 Pro to Venu 3, worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I came from the galaxy watch 5 pro and for me it was worth it. My biggest problem with that watch was the battery life and the venu 3 fixed it. I went from daily charging to weekly charging. Theres definitely less 'smartness' to the venu 3 especially compared to samsung but i barely used the smart stuff that the venu 3 doesnt have. Double bonus is i get a ton of new health features that encourage me to be better and see how my health is through out that day.

The Venu 3 is a game changer for 24+ hrs of use
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a long term apple watch user, I added this watch for its long batttery life. In particular, the extended battery life allowed me to wear the battery at night and assess my sleep quality. further, on days when I am outdoors exercising, I am no longer using up my battery life by early evening. The Garmin is a terrific addition and adds a lot of utility that I am unable to access with the battery life on my apple watch.

Love Garmin, Venu is good value
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from an Apple Watch I’m very happy. Garmin doesn’t necessarily do “smart” watch as well in terms of phone calls and texting and stuff, but the fitness tracking, sleep, long battery life (like a week compared to a day for Apple) and usability is much nicer in my opinion.

Good choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a gift to replace an older Garmin. This one seems to have a much longer battery life. It's too early to really know, but the recipient is enjoying this model immensely. This has been in use for only 1 week. As an aside, this was $50.00 less than the same model with another vendor.

Best decision ever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.5 stars is not enough stars. This watch has exceeded my expectations by far. The battery life is everlasting, nothing like my Apple Watch. I wonder why I waited so long to make the change. As a runner I should have made this change far sooner.

You will LOVE IT!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase the Venu 3 45mm. It has everything that i have been looking. It has a big screen, multiple clock faces (you can add your own too), all the health data that you need and many more things. Give it a try and you will see how much you will love it. Very happy with the choice that I made. Only thing that could help on the next version would be charging the smartwatch. Rather than having a plug in cable, use one that looks like the one that is used to charge the iWatch.

The Wife Loves It!

Great battery life and UX
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery lasts forever, the exercise options are phenomenal, HR, fitness, and stress trackers are great, and the watch looks awesome. I love this watch and if you have an Apple Watch or Samsung watch do yourself a favor and switch over - 10 day+ battery life welcomes you with open arms.

Stylish, great features, good on the golf course.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well as both a smartwatch and Golf range finder. i had to return / replace the first Venu 3, as the golf app was quirky. So far, no problems with the replacement.
