Customer Ratings & Reviews

This watch was purchased as an upgrade to my amazing Vivoactive 4. This watch is just a complete upgrade across the board: much better battery and display, improved sensors and more useful feedback. I primarily lift weights and do some moderate running, so I felt this watch to be the most well-rounded for my needs. If you are more multi-activity oriented, I find the Venu 3 to be the best choice at its price point.

Love it. Replaced the Venu 2 with Venu 3. The reviews of the 3 were not that compelling. It is a huge upgrade. More sophisticated software with much better heart monitoring data. I highly recommend the Venu 3.

My Garmin has been a game changer! I love that it can track my sleep, stress, workouts, and so much more. The battery life is great as well compared to previous smart watches I have owned. It will last about a week (sometimes a little longer!). It is also super lightweight on the wrist. I am very happy with my purchase.

It’s been two years (12/2023) since purchasing my watch and it runs just as well as it did the day I took it out of the box. 10/10 fitting my needs. It’s fantastic on the golf course with the Garmin golf app, during hot yoga, and keeping track of my heart rate. Battery life is still over a week and I wear it daily.

I have to acknowledge that I purchased my Garmin because of battery life and simple email / text notifications. I have owned Samsung watches in the past and would get frustrated in having to charge nightly. I can go roughly 6 days between charges which gives me the ability to wear at night while sleeping. I don't feel the sleep data is super accurate but it gives you a consistant idea of what is typical for you. Having the heart rate, pulse ox and steps is an added bonus. I really have not used the phone call ability and can't speak to that, but I think the experience with a Garmin over a Samsung is superior for my needs.

Very cool watch, fits very nicely on the hand, very long time without charging, I am satisfied!!!!

The watch felt light on my smaller wrists which made it easy to jog and sleep with. The watch was more than generous with my steps. I went around a 1 mile path and it gave me credit for 1.42 miles. Also even though my older Garmin recorded my sleep this Garmin did not record anything. The settings were turned on.

My old Venu 2 needed to be replaced. I looked at various options and decided to go with the newer Venu 3. It's a nice upgrade from the previous version. It has nearly all the tracking information that I need, plus the battery life is excellent. Happy with my purchase.

It easy to activate, it works great. it does give you a accurate info. i ready recommend it.

Great Smart watch. It has a bright screen and does both heart rate with optional EKG and blood oxygen. I replaced a Vivoactive with this and love it. I had planned to upgrade to the latest Vivoactive but they removed the ski run tracking. My only complaint is the band is a bit short on my large wrist. It should come with two size bands.

Really happy with this watch. I've had it about 10 days and it works nicely. Some pros: sleep tracking, fitness tracking, tap to pay, battery life, durability, and find my phone. I'm not a huge fan of the Garmin app but maybe I need to give it more time.

Gorgeous screen and great battery life. I replaced my Apple Watch with this and am very happy so far. Paired with garmin connect app the heath data is truly incredible. I have had a few minor hiccups with watch entering sleep mode but other than that garmin has won me over.

I like thay i dont have to charge this every day like my previous watch(samsung) all the health and coach on there is great. Not only that but also give recommendations for other app to gelp with nutrition and that is working great as well. Easy pair and did not take long to get use to all the functions and still more to go

Got this for my husband and he is loving it! He went from and AppleWatch to Garmin (I myself switched from Fitbit to Garmin in September 2024 and love it, hence his switch to Garmin as well...plus we can challenge each other on the app haha)! Fitbit was nice but Garming truly comes with so much more in regard to many aspects (fitness tracking abilities, styles, customizing, etc.). He has been wearing the Venu 3 for a couple weeks now and has truly enjoyed it. His only issue is not finding his band the most comfortable but luckily that is an easy fix since there are quick and easy band change options.

Love it way better than Apple Watch for my needs last days

I love Garmin Venu watches; this one was rocky at first (I got it pretty soon after release) but they released updates fast enough to fix the minor glitches. Sometimes the "active minutes" tracking is WAY off, so that can be annoying, especially since it "requires" I get 150 active minutes per week, but doesn't accurately track them. I'm happy with this watch, the battery lasts a long time, which is a HUGE deal. Once a week charging is the best!

Updated from an Apple Watch. I loved my Apple Watch but the battery life was terrible. I currently get over a week of battery life with the Venu3 wearing it 24/7 and doing 3-4 workouts a week with it. Screen is super clear! Takes some time to get used to how all of the features work but it now is very logical and easy to use. I love that I can create different strength workouts in the phone app and be able to track reps/weights on the fly with the watch. I wish it was easier to change a particular workout on the watch itself. I haven't found a way yet but haven't done a lot of digging either. Only downside from switching to the Venu3 from the Apple Watch is not being about to respond to test messages (can be done but it is tedious having to pull open the voice control). This isn't actually a bad thing though. I love that I am not constantly being alerted with notifications compared to my Apple Watch. Sleep tracking is great! Highly recommend!

Excellent smart watch for monitoring your heart, health and fitness. Great design and battery life. Excellent quality.

This watch is perfect. It goes with everything I wear and does everything I need it to do. Calculates my workouts, runs, etc. calories burned, sleep, steps, HR, oxygen, etc. best purchase for sure.

First smart watch I have owned. Did not want to spend crazy amount on the high-end watches. I have used the Venu 3 to track sleep, body battery, track ECG and complete Health Snapshot. Happy with the purchase.
