    I love Garmin Venu watches; this one was rocky at first (I got it pretty soon after release) but they released updates fast enough to fix the minor glitches. Sometimes the "active minutes" tracking is WAY off, so that can be annoying, especially since it "requires" I get 150 active minutes per week, but doesn't accurately track them. I'm happy with this watch, the battery lasts a long time, which is a HUGE deal. Once a week charging is the best!

    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.

    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.

    I wanted a watch that had many of the features of Apple but Garmin for my runs and activities. THis is the closest Garmin with a nice style than apple. I had to get used to the functions but it works well and I can answer calls. Very happy with my choice.

    Great Smartwatch

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I’ve had this watch for over a week and have no complaints so far. I love it. I use it for rowing, sleep tracking, and general health. It’s genuinely more enjoyable to use than my Apple Watch was. I highly recommend.

    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.
