    I love this watch. I have an old Fenix 5 and Pixel Watch. If I could wear both, I would. The Venu 3 is both watches in one, and more. It's fantastic. You can even get Pixel Watch faces to replicate the feel of a Pixel Watch. Garmin never failed to impress me before, but this device is on another level.

    It took me a while to adjust to the Garmin watch after using Apple Watch. Getting music on it was a pain - I pay for Apple Music, so iTunes only transferred over a handful of songs (not the thousands I have downloaded). Gave up and subscribed to Spotify - perhaps this is a ploy to get users to pay for Spotify. In regards to using it for running, I LOVE it! It stays charged for days, and it provides much more info than Apple Watch did.

    I give it 3 stars because I like the style of this watch. It's so cheaply made though. The screen is already scratced?? There's a lag when you scroll thru the watch. The band is very thin. You have to have it tightly on your wrist to get correct sleep data. TBH, I'm not even sure if it's accurate. My apple watch Ultra gave me different results. The battery life is by far the best thing about this watch. Basic watch if you want something outside the Apple/Samsung sphere. However, it needs improvement. It's basic.

    Switched from the Apple Watch to the Venu 3 and I’m very happy with my purchase. Granted it took a little while to get use to the Garmin platform but once you do it’s well worth it. The watch is full of useful information and it looks very nice. I’m 61 and the switch from Apple to Garmin was fairly easy. My wife bought one as well and she’s extremely happy with it and she was a longtime Apple Watch user as well.

    Great device - having been a long time Garmin user, this Venu 3 has been the best. Previous devices include the Forerunner series and I find the Venu’s integration of more smartwatch features better meet my expectations. Battery is superior than my Apple Watch and the health features can’t be beat. Great job, Garmin!

    I like this so much better than my old Vivoactive 4. The GPS is so much better. I haven't tried using it for music and work out, on my Vivoactive 4, when my ear buds disconnected, my work out tracker would stop tracking. Talked to Garmin about it, was told it was a feature.

    I love the watch the screen was amazing, the futures on this watch were awesome. My only issue was not being able to respond to text messages when you’re in the mud or in the middle of a hike and you can’t grab your phone other than that. Great watch

    I’m coming from a Apple watch and this is a great option for who likes to track health and sport metrics without losing too many smart watch functionalities. The battery life is great, I can wear it to sleep without worrying too much about getting it ready for the next day. The work out metrics is very useful as well.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I bought this as a replacement for a Fitbit and it was a MAJOR upgrade. I appreciate all the (non-paywalled) additional features. While the free app isn’t the easiest to navigate, you get so much and far richer data from this than any other tracker I’ve used in the past. And it also looks nice too!
