    I hate the battery life on Apple and this does it all with 10 days average without charging!

    This is greatest watch I’ve ever owned. Coming from Apple Watches that die after a full day at work and having to charge at night = missing sleep data, the garmin lasts literally over a week. I never take it off and it’s just great. I get workouts on it, sleep tracking, my notifications, can answer phone calls, ecg etc. I don’t do any extreme sports but just daily gym workouts and work. I love that it tracks my sleep, my steps, and my stress levels. I did hit it against a door and it does have a scratch/crack at the bottom

    I love it so far its been very accurate especially the heart rate tracker. I love the fact that it's water proof and i don't need to charge it more then once a week definitely an upgrade from my galaxy watch. It's very cute and customizable the app is very helpful

    Been wearing every day since purchase over 3 weeks ago. Used mainly for running and health tracking. Smart capabilities are great addition but fitness and health were priority. Exceeds all expectations.

    This watch absolutely blows any Apple Watch or current Samsung watch out of the water! The battery life is insane—it easily lasts several days even with heavy use. It looks sleek, runs smooth, and tracks everything accurately. The rotating bezel is super intuitive, and pairing it with my Galaxy phone was effortless. Best smartwatch on the market, hands down! Garmin watches are amazing i want all of them !

    I traded in my Apple Watch Series 6 for this and honestly do not regret it. The Apple Watch had issues with detecting my wrist underneath my tattoos but this watch does so with zero issue. The only downside is not being able to control my music playing on my phone with it, but it is not Apple proprietary so it makes sense. I love how fitness focused this watch is and really helps me track every workout I do for the most part. The ability to track your strength workouts down to the sets, reps and weight is a huge pro in itself. I haven’t been able to test the GPS aspect when it comes to outdoor workouts because of the cold but I’m sure it will work superior to an Apple Watch.

    Had this watch for a short time before I traded it in for the FR 965. But the few days I wore it for, it was great. More of a smart watch than a fitness watch, but it still has great features

    My favorite Garmin Yet

    My favorite garmin yet. I have had or at least tried alot of Garmin and other smart watches/fitness trackers. This one checks alot of the boxes. Comfortable, lightweight, longish battery life, great fitness and smart features. My favorite thing with this one is the separation of activities and apps. Surprised Garmin has not made this standard for other devices, makes finding things and organizing apps and activities so much better/easier.

    Now i hate to use my Apple Watch. In love with this watch, tracks everything and the most amazing thing I don’t have to worry about charging it. It can last up to 10-14 days without charging. The best!!!!

    After using an apple smart watch with PATHETIC battery life & having to charge it every single day & not having it last for 1 full day at time, The switch to Venu 3 has been AMAZING!!! I charged it on a Friday, went on travel for a full week & then back home of Sunday & the watch still had 10%+ battery life left. This includes few days of active long walks. I also considered other Garmin watches like Forerunner & Epix, but the Venu 3 has the best pricing:features. I wish they made one with Sapphire glass too.

    Love this watch! I’ve wore an Apple Watch for a long time, but was looking for something with more analytics on everything I do. This watch has not failed me. I would highly recommend.

    Very good smart watch compared from Apple, this watch is much more fitness oriented. The battery life itself my favorite part easily last 9days. While some features of the driving directions or able to text a response are not there compared to Apple, overall it’s a better choice for keeping track of your fitness. I personally also like how it looks more professional.

    Overall I am very pleased. This has exceeded my expectations and is a must have for anyone who exercises. The heart rate monitor is accurate and I’ve come to realize the benefits of the sleep tracking. My one complaint is the app can be a bit clunky. In particular the built in work outs and how that sends/stores them on the device. But I expect that to continue to get better over time. Would recommend.

    It has a clean look. It is easy to setup and the pages have good detail. It is fitness oriented. So, not many "smart features" but i prefer it like this: not wasting battery on smart unnecesary background apps. Battery is great: more than 10 days.

    Watch is amazing, battery lasts about a week and even without a screen protector it hasn't had any scratches. It also connects to the app flawlessly.
