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 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 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.

The best watch and fitness tracker I have owned. Along with The Garmin Connect+, it is a personal accountability device all in one

Coming from an Apple Watch I’m very happy. Garmin doesn’t necessarily do “smart” watch as well in terms of phone calls and texting and stuff, but the fitness tracking, sleep, long battery life (like a week compared to a day for Apple) and usability is much nicer in my opinion.

Love the battery on this watch. Dont have to charger everyday only once a week depending on activity level.

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.

Purchased as a replace to the Apple Watch and so far it has been a major upgrade and the Apple Watches battery life can’t touch what the Garmin can do.

Bought this as a gift to replace an older Garmin. This one seems to have a much longer battery life. It's too early to really know, but the recipient is enjoying this model immensely. This has been in use for only 1 week. As an aside, this was $50.00 less than the same model with another vendor.

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.

Great battery life, definitely an upgrade from the Apple Watch and a bunch of free workouts.

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

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.

Battery lasts forever, the exercise options are phenomenal, HR, fitness, and stress trackers are great, and the watch looks awesome. I love this watch and if you have an Apple Watch or Samsung watch do yourself a favor and switch over - 10 day+ battery life welcomes you with open arms.

Great product this is the best purchase I’ve some all this summer!

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

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.

I love this purchase, it's fascinating Perfect very good i love i love

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

It’s a very good watch. It can withstand all conditions it is put through. Water, getting dropped on concrete, corners, and even rocks. Never cracking. It also tracks very well and tells you everything you need and want to know all the time. The multitude of features on the watch such as music and how it tracks your heart beat. Also tracking my sleep to let me know when I didn’t sleep enough helping me get the right amount of sleep each night.
