Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great fitness tracker, terrible smartwatch. I wanted to be a little more strict about my health and I heard the Venu 3 was the Garmin smartwatch equivalent so I thought it’d be an easier transition. However, I had to return the Garmin. After about 2 weeks I knew it wasn’t for me because I just don’t need that level of fitness tracking and the UI/over all aesthetic looks ANCIENT! After watching so many Youtube videos comparing Garmin and AppleWatch, not one person mentioned how the UI on the Garmin looks like it’s from 2009. It is definitely based on lifestyle though as I can see how a fitness enthusiast would not be too worried about aesthetics and simply want to see their metrics. However, my lifestyle just isn’t so ingrained in fitness that I’m that interested in these metrics. I returned it and got an AppleWatch series 11 for cheaper and I’m quite happy now realizing the parts of a smartwatch I really enjoy and what I simply don’t need to use.

My old Venu 2 needed to be replaced. I looked at various options and decided to go with the newer Venu 3. It's a nice upgrade from the previous version. It has nearly all the tracking information that I need, plus the battery life is excellent. Happy with my purchase.

Great battery life, really good features and health tracking

I love this product, easily the best smart watch I’ve ever had. Does everything I could ask for in a smart watch and then some. I switched from an Apple Watch and would never go back!!

Love it. Replaced the Venu 2 with Venu 3. The reviews of the 3 were not that compelling. It is a huge upgrade. More sophisticated software with much better heart monitoring data. I highly recommend the Venu 3.

I’ve had the original Venu since it came out (maybe 4 yrs) and my husband lost his. We replaced it with the Venu 3 and continue to be amazed at what it does. I love that I don’t have to pay for an extra cell phone line and still get the benefits. The battery on these lasts a long time (more than a week) and I feel it is accurate in almost everything it tracks.

Perfect smart watch, I've been using it for my running and it has helped me to keep my pace and body performance.

Bought for my wife as she finally made the switch from an Apple Watch. She had a series 7 and had to charge it twice a day. Last year O switched from Apple to a Garmin S70. Love the fit, functionality, fitness & sleep tracking, and battery life. You get betting fitness and health tracking with 14 days of battery life! Make the switch and you won’t regret it.

Best fitness/smartwatch I have ever owned. I wear it as my daily watch and for all fitness activities. Tracks your sleep along with heartrate etc.Finds GPS faster than any other watch I have owned.I can go 1 week between charges.

My daughter absolutely loves it. Perfect for running and easy to use. She has really enjoyed tracking her sleep as well. Unlike other watches that need to be charged every day, this she charges once a week.

I finally made the switch away from my Apple Watch, and I am so glad that I finally did! I absolutely love this watch. It is perfect for my active lifestyle, as well as had a very sleek, professional look to it.

Awesome watch, that is perfect for the average athlete and everyday wearer.

Had the watch for a month and I love It, the battery last for a long time. And when I run it is very accurate

I currently use the iPhone 14 Pro Max with an Apple Series 6 watch. I typically wear the apple watch every day to work. The primary complaint I had with the Apple Watch was lack of battery. So i started looking into other watches and the Venu 3 caught my eye, especially with the long 14 day battery. Ive worn the watch for 6 days and and I am only at 40% left without charging it once yet!! Sleep coach is also an amazing feature and enjoy tracking my sleep score.

This is my third Garmin smartwatch. I upgraded from the Garmin Instinct because that one did not have a lot of the features I originally got a device for like reminding me to get up and move around every hour, etc. The Venu 3 was easy to set up. I love being able to customize the watch face with info that I want to see and the battery life has been great. The touchscreen is very responsive and I haven't had any issues with visibility out in the sunlight. The Garmin Connect app is also really easy to use. All around another great product from Garmin. This watch seems like a huge upgrade not only from the Instinct rugged models but also the Vivoactive models. I wasn't sure if I would be as impressed with the difference in price, but so far it's been well worth it!

Great watch! Got this for my wife to replace her fitbit and it does everything she would like a smart watch to do. I have an older venu and have loved mine for years. This new one has a better screen, is alightly larger and has abilities to take calls. The one grip i have is that there isn't an easy option for voice to text in responding to a message. Her old fitbit did that with a click of a button. This garmin does not allow you to directly respond to a text via voice but you have to ask your assistant to send a new message to whatever person. Other than that flaw the watch is great so far!

A very good quality and reliable sport watch that is easy to use with an accurate GPS.

The real deal regarding smartwatches/fitness trackers. Battery is awesome, lasting days up to a week and then some. Had a Venu first gen and then this and even though both are great, this third gen is the way to go. If you don’t want to get into the most advanced models, and still want to have a modern watch with most of the fitness features with a nice display and awesome battery life, this is it. Don’t even look at the apple watch, it is awesome on so many features too, but the battery is years behind Garmin. Buy this until apple decides to increase its watch battery life. Then you will have to decide. For now, this Garmin Venu 3 is the way to go for sure.

I purchased tgis watch about a month ago. Overall it fits my needs. It is the perfect crosee between a smart watch and a fitness watch. It is awesome for runners. Heart rate and mileage is accurate. I cant say the same for lifting, but it gets what you need done. On a full charge it ladts me about 7 days but, that is because of certain personal settings. It's leaps and bounds better than most smart watches i have previously owned. Being able to download music to the watch is pretty awesome.saves you from dragging your phone along when working out. The challenges and badges are a fun touch to your fitness regiment. Overall if you want fitness watch with the capability of a smart watch and won't break the bank this is definitely your watch.

Honestly, the best sports and health watch. I had the AW series ten and switched over. Yes there are some smart features it does have, but if you are even a slightly active person, this watch is leagues better than an Apple Watch. Plus the batter lasts 2 weeks.
