While the design is generally well-regarded, some individuals find the physical size to be a bit large for their wrists. Additionally, a small number of users have reported occasional connectivity challenges and expressed a desire for a more modern user interface.

    Please note this watch model does not support Garmin maps and navigation despite being sleek. As a result, a few hours after I made the order, I tried to cancel it. However, BestBuy wouldn't let me even though the item had not shipped and it has only been a few hours. After the item arrived, I had to return it in the original shipping package, which was very big for such a small item. So on my way to return it, someone noticed and stole the package from me. I wish that I could have cancelled the order when I had tried to, and I wish I could have returned the item in its product packaging without the original shipping package. That way if I could have put the item in my backpack, maybe it wouldn't have been so noticeable and snatched from me. I feel sad because I couldn't get any meaningful support from law enforcement, insurance, or BestBuy either in this issue. I hope something can change to decrease the likelihood of this kind of issue from occurring.

    I am a Garmin fan and the Venue 3 does not disappoint. replaced my heart rate strap with the broadcast option on the watch. Graphics are outstanding. Best Buy made the transaction work. We were traveling from Tucson to California. Made the transaction in Yuma and Picked it up in El Centro

    This smart watch works. Love Garmin Pay to pay for stuff with the watch. A lot of monitoring function. The only I don't like it's the walk sensing is a bit slow, as slow as 10 minutes after a walk is started.

    Glorified Samsung Watch - Cheaply Made

    Maybe my expectations are a bit high from having several other high end smartwatches, however, this Venu 3 is nowhere near an Apple Watch in terms of build quality. The straps feel flimsy, the casing is mostly plastic. It is incredibly light, and quite frankly it feels like a toy. The Garmin software is what saves this from a 1 star review. The insights and advanced heath stats it can pull are extremely helpful. Much better for runs, and seems more accurate than an Apple Watch in terms of the HR and Cadence Tracking. Do yourself a favor and get one of the nicer Garmin watches. OR, go in and try them on first! Ended up with the EPIX Pro. OH, and battery life was around 3 days when I had all my settings accurate with Always on Display, nightly O2 reading, and the watch face I liked. VERY disappointing as 10 days was advertised. The EPIX Pro actually gets 10 days of use with my (harsh?) settings applied.

      I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the Venu 3. Using the setting you had set up will certainly deplete the battery life. Garmin
