Customer Ratings & Reviews

The hardware is great. The watch is comfortable. The battery life is phenomenal. The heartrate and step tracking seem very accurate. The notifications from the phone are useful. There are a lot of interesting options with coaching and other feature I didn't get too deep into. What I don't like about the Venu 3 is the software. I was trying this watch after using a Fitbit for years, and the Fitbit software experience is way better. First of all there is no web dashboard that I can find. The ONLY place you can see your data is in the smartphone app. There was no way that I could find to sync my Garmin health data with my other apps like Google Health, MyNetDiary, etc. I couldn't find a way to automatically sync my wifi scale to the Garmin either so I have to manually enter my calorie and weight data into Garmin's app, which is not something I had to worry about with the Fitbit.

First smart watch I have owned. Did not want to spend crazy amount on the high-end watches. I have used the Venu 3 to track sleep, body battery, track ECG and complete Health Snapshot. Happy with the purchase.

Incredible watch, 10+ day battery life. Dsiplay easy to see in direct sunlight.

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.

This watch is great. It has helped me form some workout routines that keep my heart rate up while in the gym, counts my steps accurately and love how connect interfaces with my fitness pal. Battery lasts about a week and charges pretty quick when I charge it.

Great watch with great battery life. Get about 8 days depending on the number of activities you record. Plenty of options for activity tracking. Speaker is so so, rarely use it and volume is sub par. After 5 months it still works great. I wish Garmin had better watch faces that show text notifications. In addition the watch strap starts to show cosmetic wear after 4 months or so.

Had an Apple watch and hated the battery life. If you’re thinking of getting a garmin make the switch to this one!

Thr fit is an absolute comfort. Its stays on my hand all day and night and i dont even realise its there. The readings are accurate and the app is very easy and intuitive.

Great watch for basic health tracking. Good at monitoring workouts, strain, and sleep. Very comfortable and good battery life.

I purchased this as an upgrade to my Venu 2, and I am not disappointed. The new software, the larger screen, and the accuracy of both the heart rate sensor and the GPS are excellent.

Coming from the Apple Watch Ultra to set the stage here. I recently went back to an Android phone and wanted something more fitness related with better battery life. Getting calls and text was must so i chose the Venu 3. I have been happy in every way. This doesnt have the suite of connected apps and seemsless transiton from phone to device like a apple watch or samsung watch. But its screen, battery life, and fitness tracking are amazing. If you have been on the fence about getting one, consider this your sign to go head first.

Switched from an Apple Watch and best decision ever. Using it to track my workouts, sleep and steps. Super accurate too

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.

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 display. Superb sleep metrics. Exercise recording/heart rate/O2 sat/respiratory rate/ gps seems accurate. Garmin connect and exercise plans/visuals a plus.

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.

I got this garmin and changed from my Apple watch. This watch has additional benefits for heart monitoring and stress level tests which I wanted for post workouts.

I lift weights and it does not count my sets well. Running and walking it works perfect.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a durable watch and long lasting battery. Was worth buying love it!

Got it for the Mrs. as a Mother's Day gift. She loves it, her Apple watch has been kicked to the curb. Battery life is great and health and sleep metrics are fascinating.
