    I own both the Venu 2 and Venu 3. Both of these watches are excellent. They are very accurate and easy to use. I am not sure if the differences between the two is worth the price, but the quaity and usage is great

    If you were expecting an Apple Watch, this wasn’t it. I think I had my expectations set a little higher. I could not get used to the settings and using this and sadly had to return. It did have a great battery life!

    So far I’m in love with it as far as running. But when I’m in the gym in still trying to figure out the strength training settings.

    Garmin advertised "nap tracking" and it may do that but not as expected or not in a totally helpful way. So it tracked a 2 hour nap no problem and increased my Body Battery but the 2 hours was not added to my night's sleep total either for the night before or the night coming up so what's the point! I'm 64 and struggle getting more than 4 hours sleep a night but I can help make up for that in the evening after work. Second issue is the temp and conditions keeps disappearing from watch faces. The only fix I see is to close the Garmin Connect app and then reopen it and as soon as it opens and connects back to the watch, the weather shows back up. But I'm tired of doing that 3-4 times a day. Returning this and sticking with my Venu 2 as the Venu 3 is half baked for now.

    This watch is a major improvement over previous versions. Better screen controls, customization, and it appears that the sensors are improved as well for accuracy. Well worth the upgrade.

    Large watch face, easy to read, a little less user friendly than the galaxy watch, but seems to be more accurate at counting steps and exercise than the galaxy. The Ecg app works great.

    Felt cheap and setup did not go well at all

    I have had a Garmin device dating back to 2015 with a Fenix 3. I know these watches. Have had the Fenix 5, and 6 also. The worst thing Garmin did was go Amoled. I remember having the same issue with the Venu 2 that I had with the Venu 3. As soon as I connected it to my phone, I get an always on screen even though the feature is off. I can't get it to turn on when I turn my wrist toward me. I tried resetting it, literally after receiving it just 30 minutes earlier, and it still did the same things right after set up. The strap is nowhere near as hefty as the Vivoactive 4. The actual watch feels cheaper than my Vivoactive 4 that I believe was released back in 2019. And one more thing, the screen looks dim. I tried everything in setting, even maxed it and it stayed dim. The fact that it is primarily plastic is simply horrific for over 400 dollars. Honestly, it felt cheap. Again, I want to emphasize that I have had Garmin Devices for almost a decade. Even the box it came in felt flimsy and did not give any appeal to the fact that you are in essence opening up a box to a premium device. The whole experience felt as if Garmin has begun taking cheaper routes with regard to their boxes and most importantly, their devices. Their Fenix 7 is still selling for more than 700 and 800 bucks. It's outrageous. This is a very hard pass. No way is it worth anywhere near over 400 dollars.
