Customers are saying

Customers consistently note that this device excels in battery life, overall performance, and sleep tracking capabilities. Users also appreciate the high-quality screen, precise GPS accuracy, and the intuitive nature of the watch's various features. 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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    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.

    I ended up returning the item. While it worked perfectly, it didn’t quite meet my aesthetic expectations. Instead, I opted for a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and I’m really enjoying it—plus, it was significantly more affordable.

    I had the original Venu and find it was much better than this one. Had to return original watch because couldn't turn the alarm off. It's not consistent in just telling you how many days your up to in your walking goal. Overall, don't love it.

    I purchased for my boyfriend and he wanted to tell me that the watch counts driving as steps. We reset the watch and it didnt fix the issue. He told me past the return date so he is stuck with a watch that malfunctions.

    If you looking for a watch to only track working out then this is 5 star. All the other functionality is terrible. Phone won’t answer, can’t easily give voice commands. A lot of clicking around to get to a function you want.

    This watch is great for the outdoors but a little clunky as a smartwatch when compared to a Galaxy or Apple watch, which is to be expected.
