    Accurate, durable, light. It was a little to big for my wrist, hence uncomfortable for sleeping. Besides that great overall.

    Everything about this device and the app is great. The watch has a wide variety of activities to choose from and there is so much health information provided. The app on the phone goes very in depth as far as heart rate, pace, gps data (which is very accurate), and a lot more. The badges and challenges help keep you motivated and the garmin coach feature will help you train to meet specific goal times for races. All of this without a paywall or monthly fee and I really hope it stays that way. Finally, I can’t end this review without mentioning the battery. This battery lasts. I don’t have fear or anxiety of the battery draining fast. If I only have 20% left I know that’s more than enough to get my workout done before needing to recharge it. I did get this watch on sale for $50 less. I just couldn’t justify buying it for full price. Other than that I definitely recommend this if you are interested.

    Bought to replace a Garmin that I love that is beginning to die. I LOVE this new replacement. It does everything the old one did and so much more. Can't wait to learn all the other things it can do!

    We are apple people but switched due to the garmin having a round face. The watch has so much information and the screen is crystal clear and the battery life is awesome. Very hqppy with the purchase.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Excellent Watch – Great for Fitness & Everyday Use!** I’ve been using my Garmin watch for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier. The design is sleek and comfortable to wear all day, and the battery life is seriously impressive – I go several days without needing to charge it. The fitness tracking is super accurate. I use it for running, cycling, and strength training, and I love how detailed the data is. The GPS locks in quickly and tracks my routes perfectly. I also like that it tracks sleep, stress levels, and heart rate 24/7. One of my favorite features is how customizable everything is — from the watch face to the workout screens. The Garmin Connect app is user-friendly and gives a full picture of my health and performance. If you're looking for a reliable smartwatch that’s focused on fitness and doesn’t distract you with too many gimmicks, this is it. Totally worth the investment!

    Fantastic watch, amazing battery, full of features

    I love this watch. I love the body battery. It is much more accurate than my recent Pixel Watch 2 or my Apple Watch 10. These are more geared towards personal health first, phone abilities second. The other watches are phone extensions that can also track some health. You can do all these fitness challenges and exercises without an added cost. Apps can have cost to add, or watch faces but many are free. I am a female with a 6.5" wrist and this watch size is perfect for me. I like a bigger watch face, anything smaller feels like a nickel size and I can't hardly see it. I am someone who wants to switch back and forth from Android and Apple phones because I love technology. This is a good fit for someone like that also, and not having to buy a watch in a specific eco system. Yes the apple message replies don't work because apple locks them to apple devices, but the work around is to use the voice assistance to text when using an apple phone. :) Lastly but another HUGE leap over anyone else - is BATTERY LIFE! I went 6 days and got to 35% in my first week, and you know the first week you use is a ton because you're learning it and playing with features. 6 full DAYS. Tell me if your apple / samsung / pixel watch can do that. The answer is no. I have seen some reviews with people scratching the glass. I got a film screen protector on mine since day 1 because I am clumsy and run into walls and things so I needed the protection, but this thing is holding up amazing.

    Upgraded Venu 2 Plus to Venu 3, many improvements

    Upgraded from the Venu 2 Plus to the Venu 3, version 2 was a great watch and the Venu 3 has been a considerable improvement. The most noticeable changes on the Venu 3 have been the increased screen size for visibility, menus reorganized for quicker/easier access to apps and events, slightly longer lasting battery (about 8 days, Venu 2 was about 7), and being able to create text messages on the phone (although it's a slightly cumbersome numeric/alpha dial pad text screen). Venu 3 has a smoother band than Venu 2, I find the new version much more comfortable. Reviews have complained about the polymer body of the watch, so far I have found it to be light and scratch resistant, I think it looks great, definitely worth the upgrade.

    I’ve been using the Garmin Venu 3 for a while now, and it’s quickly become my favorite fitness smartwatch. The AMOLED display is bright and easy to read, and the health tracking—like heart rate and sleep monitoring—is spot on. It lasts up to 8 days on a single charge and handles GPS and music seamlessly. It’s stylish and comfortable, making it perfect for everyday wear. If you’re looking for a watch that’s both smart and sporty, the Venu 3 is definitely worth checking out.

    The Garmin Venu 3 is a great fitness watch. The display is bright and clear compared to earlier model. GPS is precise, but it takes a bit of time to get the location. The best part is the battery that lasts up to 7 days with regular use with daily workout recordings. Overall a great watch to go for.

    This is a great watch, and most of the features work very well, but it has compatibility issues with other devices where they will get kicked from being paired with your phone through Bluetooth. Otherwise we love Garmin products and would highly recommend. We do not have issues with our Garmin Instinct.

    Much better than Apple Watch

    The watch is awesome. It’s very much a fitness/health and wellness tracker, not as much a smartwatch. It tracks any of a variety of stats (heart rate, steps, flights of stairs, active calories burned, etc). It’s great for that. Helps track sleep and give recommendations to get better sleep and more “body battery”. It has crazy good battery life, well over a week. I came from an Apple Watch, which I would charge every single night. This alone was a great reason to switch to the Venu 3. There’s a lot of 3rd party creators that make cool watch faces. The watch is awesome. It is always on my wrist. If you wanna get a snapshot of your general health, track workouts, get into running, it’s great! The wrist strap it comes with was not the best for me, as any amount of sweat caused me to get a rash from it. But a $7 strap from Amazon fixed it up! Now it’s super comfortable.

    Excellent smart/exercise watch from Garmin. The Venu has always been an excellent mix of smart and fitness features. With the addition of a speaker/microphone alongside the amoled screen and long battery life, I believe it to be the perfect watch.

    I just purchased the venu 3 after using a Fitbit sense 2 for two years. The battery started to die and it is not replaceable. They make you buy a new one. Therefore, $250 x 2 Is $500 in 2 years if I bought another one! I decided then to spend the extra dollars and get a really good one. The Google and Samsung watches are highly rated but battery life is just not up to par. The Garmin boasts a 14-day battery life, and It looks thus far that I will get about 10 days, certainly exceeding the sense 2. The functionality and customization are phenomenal. Software is a bit complex until you learn how to use it, but that'll only took me a day or two. The phone app provides details in a way that the sense 2 could not. The venu 3 also adds features that are true numerous to go through. Voice assistant is just one of them. And with all the features, I will reiterate that the customization opportunities and battery life really make this watch what you want it to be. Those are the first few days impressions and I think they will stick.

    I switched over to a Garmin from using galaxy watches forever. It took a minute to learn to navigate, I found the galaxy watches a little more user friendly. Of course Iove the extended battery life. The sleep recording is very good although as someone who sleeps poorly, it's a little depressing! I am not a runner but I hike, walk, yoga and do gym workouts mostly and the exercise tracking works very well. I use the breath work app a lot as well. Overall, I feel for me it was worth the upgrade to get a Garmin.

    You Can Never Go Wrong With Garmin

    This watch is excellent and does everything as advertised. Works well on the golf course with the phone app, works well to make and receive calls. Wish Garmin had this on more models. Texting can be a little challenging as the letters are small. The only issue I have had with the product is the vibration mode for notifications has come lose and can be loud at times in stead of vibrating. Call Garmin and they told me the issue was not bad enough to repair at this time. Beside this one issue it has been the perfect watch. Battery life is outstanding. I average a week before needing to charge. I wear the watch 24 hrs a day and use almost all features with my phone.

    Had venu 2 but venu 3 was a decent upgrade! Accuracy is great but not perfect! Many features and functions and great watch faces. Most importantly.... Battery lasts over a week without charging !!! Not like Apple or Samsung which is barely over 1 day...... Apple and Samsung will never get there anytime soon on battery life.
