The watch felt light on my smaller wrists which made it easy to jog and sleep with. The watch was more than generous with my steps. I went around a 1 mile path and it gave me credit for 1.42 miles. Also even though my older Garmin recorded my sleep this Garmin did not record anything. The settings were turned on.

Great Smart watch. It has a bright screen and does both heart rate with optional EKG and blood oxygen. I replaced a Vivoactive with this and love it. I had planned to upgrade to the latest Vivoactive but they removed the ski run tracking.
My only complaint is the band is a bit short on my large wrist. It should come with two size bands.

I have had this watch for two weeks now and it has been great! I was hesitant on switching over from my Apple Watch, but I am glad I made the switch! It has been great to be able to track my sleep without having to download different apps. The battery life is AMAZING! My Apple Watch only lasted me half a day, and if I wore it to bed then it would be dead by the morning. I would definitely recommend the watch.

Gorgeous screen and great battery life. I replaced my Apple Watch with this and am very happy so far. Paired with garmin connect app the heath data is truly incredible. I have had a few minor hiccups with watch entering sleep mode but other than that garmin has won me over.

I have had the Venu 3 for about a month now and I really enjoy it compared to my old Fitbit Sense. First of all the battery life is amazing compared to what I had, I am charging once a week instead of every other day. I like the health features but haven't figured them all out yet. I haven't calibrated the step feature and it doesn't seem to track my steps as much as my old watch but like I said I have not calibrated it. I like that it automatically tracks my walking activity but it doesn't seem to know that when I mow the lawn I am still walking. I wish it had a yard care feature, it is still exercise. I have used it for strength training but am not sure how that works yet. It still has a lot that I haven't used yet but overall it is a great watch even for an old man like me. (late 60's)

I like thay i dont have to charge this every day like my previous watch(samsung) all the health and coach on there is great. Not only that but also give recommendations for other app to gelp with nutrition and that is working great as well. Easy pair and did not take long to get use to all the functions and still more to go

I have to acknowledge that I purchased my Garmin because of battery life and simple email / text notifications. I have owned Samsung watches in the past and would get frustrated in having to charge nightly. I can go roughly 6 days between charges which gives me the ability to wear at night while sleeping. I don't feel the sleep data is super accurate but it gives you a consistant idea of what is typical for you. Having the heart rate, pulse ox and steps is an added bonus. I really have not used the phone call ability and can't speak to that, but I think the experience with a Garmin over a Samsung is superior for my needs.

Really happy with this watch. I've had it about 10 days and it works nicely. Some pros: sleep tracking, fitness tracking, tap to pay, battery life, durability, and find my phone. I'm not a huge fan of the Garmin app but maybe I need to give it more time.

Updated from an Apple Watch. I loved my Apple Watch but the battery life was terrible. I currently get over a week of battery life with the Venu3 wearing it 24/7 and doing 3-4 workouts a week with it. Screen is super clear! Takes some time to get used to how all of the features work but it now is very logical and easy to use. I love that I can create different strength workouts in the phone app and be able to track reps/weights on the fly with the watch. I wish it was easier to change a particular workout on the watch itself. I haven't found a way yet but haven't done a lot of digging either. Only downside from switching to the Venu3 from the Apple Watch is not being about to respond to test messages (can be done but it is tedious having to pull open the voice control). This isn't actually a bad thing though. I love that I am not constantly being alerted with notifications compared to my Apple Watch. Sleep tracking is great! Highly recommend!
Great Fitness Watch. Not so much for heart health.

Great overall watch. Great battery life and great fitness metrics, apps, etc. However, the ECG function is basically useless. It will give a report of being in Afib when in reality my heart is beating in sinus rhythm with PVC’s. Don’t get this watch if you need a legitimate ECG function. The Apple Watch is much more reliable in monitoring heart rhythm.

The watch has great fitness tracking including a body battery metric. The screen is on par with the Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel watch but the battery has lasted me over 5 days between charges. It also has interactive notifications including being able to respond to text messages and answers calls from the watch.

Such a great upgrade from my Samsung Watch 5. Absolutely love the health tracking, getting all notifications, answer text and calls. Galaxy has nothing to compare to Garmin Venu 3. Excellent screen, long battery life (12-13 days no problem), really smooth interface. Nice. Highly recommended for Android (my phone).
