    Was hoping to replace my Garmin Epix 2, the main feature was being able to answer calls on the Venu 3 but does not play friendly with my iPhone 15 Pro. It only works 50% of the times and if you decide to answer a call with the iPhone the call switches between Speaker and Phone and there’s a delay which is frustrating. There’s no way to prioritize the calls, apparently the watch is designed to be used with Android phones. Otherwise it’s a great watch, barely know it’s on your wrist, better to sleep with while wearing versus the Epix, Unfortunately I’m passed the return policy.

    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.

    It’s a great watch, however, doesn’t have GPS. I wasn’t aware of that when I purchased but that’s my fault.

      The watch does have GPS. When you select an activity that would use GPS the screen will show on the display. Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many FAQ's and video's on the functions of the watch. As well, if you still need assistance you can reach out to a product support associate for assistance from that link. Garmin

    Great watch overall. Missing some features to compete with similarly priced watches. Texting on this is a nightmare.

    I bought this watch for my husband in order to help him maintain a healthier lifestyle. He ended up returning the watch due to not being able to receive text/calls on the watch. He tried multiple times after researching the Garmin website, YouTube, and Google. I chose this watch specifically based on its ability to receive text/calls.

    Had a great many features but you need to be very conversant with buttons etc to find any particular function. This required swiping the face to move aro7nd as well. However, if you have arthritic hands, it does not work well. I returned the Garmin and got an Apple Watch
