Customer Ratings & Reviews

I thought I would write this review after having the watch for a year and a half. After talking to Garmin for the last year and a half they’ve done absolutely nothing to help me with my problems. The first one is the heart rate the heart rate is always catching up to what you’re doing. For instance if I’m working out with weights or dumbbells, it shows a low heart rate when my heart is beating fast and then once I get up off a bench arm upright then the heart rate catches up and actually goes over what my heart rate actually is. The second thing is, it keeps telling me that I reached my step goal, even though I haven’t gone up any steps that day, it has something to do with me working doing exercises on a mat and on the floor with my arms that triggers it. Also, if you just go up the hill walking or running, it’ll trigger it. The sleep score is also a joke if I fall asleep at 10:30 and I wake up at seven for some reason it will only start recording my sleep at 1:30. It misses my sleep specially if you wake up during the night, even for a minute. I don’t know how they tell this watch for all the exercises it has and for all the sophisticated physical fitness people out there that are using these way more intensely than me. I don’t trust the watch and the watch is basically a fraud. The only thing good about it is the battery life. Also the customization for the watch there are many faces, but you can’t customize what is on your watch face, for instance I wanna put miles on my watch face, but I can’t. I have to always have steps listed. There’s watches half the price to do with this. Does this well and on top of that the Garmin customer service people are a little bit snooty and have told me that these are the limitations of the watch and you have to live with it or elsewhere a chest heart monitor well then don’t advertise what your watch can do. If you can’t do it in the beginning I thought it was way better than a Fitbit and it’s got a lot of more features butI bought it for fitness and it fails in this regard. 62 year-old male active in fitness and it doesn’t work for me.

Bought for my wife as she finally made the switch from an Apple Watch. She had a series 7 and had to charge it twice a day. Last year O switched from Apple to a Garmin S70. Love the fit, functionality, fitness & sleep tracking, and battery life. You get betting fitness and health tracking with 14 days of battery life! Make the switch and you won’t regret it.

Thr fit is an absolute comfort. Its stays on my hand all day and night and i dont even realise its there. The readings are accurate and the app is very easy and intuitive.

The watch has great fitness tracking including a body battery metric. The screen is on par with the Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel watch but the battery has lasted me over 5 days between charges. It also has interactive notifications including being able to respond to text messages and answers calls from the watch.

Honestly, the best sports and health watch. I had the AW series ten and switched over. Yes there are some smart features it does have, but if you are even a slightly active person, this watch is leagues better than an Apple Watch. Plus the batter lasts 2 weeks.

Such a great upgrade from my Samsung Watch 5. Absolutely love the health tracking, getting all notifications, answer text and calls. Galaxy has nothing to compare to Garmin Venu 3. Excellent screen, long battery life (12-13 days no problem), really smooth interface. Nice. Highly recommended for Android (my phone).

I’ve owned FitBits for a little over eight years. So my reason for getting the Garmin was that the last two fitbits didn’t track elevation. This was a little annoying on my bike rides. I also don’t believe the fitbits I owned tracked my heart rate too well during active workouts when I’m sweating. With that said, the fitbits I’ve owned in the past is my baseline for my rating of the Garmin. The Garmin is built nicely. Good premium feel and quality. I have yet to scratch the screen. The health tracking is great. The only thing I feel is off is the sleep tracker. I for comparison I’ve worn my old Fitbit Inspire 3 and this Garmin. The Garmin always says I’ve slept more than the Fitbit. The difference was less between the two when I would sleep within the duration of what I set as my bedtime and when I wake up. But when my sleep was off and I stay up later, the Garmin is thrown off. So that’s something they need to improve on. Otherwise this thing goes beyond what I need it to do. I want more watch face options. They have a few different faces to choose, with customization you can do to them.

Battery life is amazing, fitness tracking isn’t accurate all the time, but overall a good watch.

Watch is very accurate and not to mention very light. I sleep with this watch every night. It has been very helpful in my health tracking. Battery lasts on average 11 days. Golf tracking is good for it not being golf specific. GPS is accurate along with heart rate and calorie burn.

I’ve had the original Venu since it came out (maybe 4 yrs) and my husband lost his. We replaced it with the Venu 3 and continue to be amazed at what it does. I love that I don’t have to pay for an extra cell phone line and still get the benefits. The battery on these lasts a long time (more than a week) and I feel it is accurate in almost everything it tracks.

I did a lot of research before buying this smart watch. I'm glad I chose this one. Great watch. It does everything I want it to.

The battery life is impressive. I only need to charge this once a week. I am really enjoying the statistical data this watch provides.

Purchased as a replacement for my original Venu. After one week of use, can confidently say it is a significant upgrade. Better display, sleep monitoring much improved, added apps and activities, along with faster overall response. Glad to have made the upgrade.

So far ao good, I have owned this garmin for about 2 weeks coming from a galaxy watch 5. The health features along with the ability to make and store custom workouts is a huge win! Its a beautiful display as well as comfortable band i have no problems wearing most of the day. However, build quality for a watch this price is extremely underwhelming. Plastic casing for 400+ absolutely not. Samsung and Apple offer a much more premium looking aluminum build which is the least I'd expect for this price.Also has limited widgets and watch faces for a supposed smart watch/health entry for garmin. These things can probably be improved with time so I'll leave my review as a 3 for now because of the health features.

Great product does what is advertised. Great watch for the price especially in today’s market

Battery life is awesome, lasts for week with always on display turned off. Accuarcy is great with dual band GPS. There are multiple apps to download and responding to texts is not as good as Apple Watch. Best for those who are serious about fitness.

Got it for the Mrs. as a Mother's Day gift. She loves it, her Apple watch has been kicked to the curb. Battery life is great and health and sleep metrics are fascinating.

A very good quality and reliable sport watch that is easy to use with an accurate GPS.

This watch is beyond my expectations. 15 day battery life, gives me every piece of data and tracks every goal I need.

Seems better for exercise and isn’t a square block on your arm
