Love it! Venu 3 Worthwhile upgrade from vivoactive 4

Highly recommend the Garmin Venu 3 Smartwatch for any user. I am not a runner and found the watch to be competitive to the Apple watch.

A big improvement over the previous model! Can make calls!

Very nice! Gave this as a gift and my family member was super excited, he loved it!

The watch delivers on the promise. battery life is good.

work good, could stay on clock for longer periods of time. don't know all the options yet.

Very nice watch for workout tracking. Very functional

Let me start by saying that this watch was great, when it worked! Unfortunately, there were times when it would freeze up, not charge correctly, or lose battery quickly. I used it everyday through vigorous sports and workouts, but unfortunately the screen died on me a few months before its two year anniversary. Loved it, but might need something a little more rugged.

Maybe my expectations are a bit high from having several other high end smartwatches, however, this Venu 3 is nowhere near an Apple Watch in terms of build quality. The straps feel flimsy, the casing is mostly plastic. It is incredibly light, and quite frankly it feels like a toy. The Garmin software is what saves this from a 1 star review. The insights and advanced heath stats it can pull are extremely helpful. Much better for runs, and seems more accurate than an Apple Watch in terms of the HR and Cadence Tracking. Do yourself a favor and get one of the nicer Garmin watches. OR, go in and try them on first! Ended up with the EPIX Pro. OH, and battery life was around 3 days when I had all my settings accurate with Always on Display, nightly O2 reading, and the watch face I liked. VERY disappointing as 10 days was advertised. The EPIX Pro actually gets 10 days of use with my (harsh?) settings applied.

Good all around, easy to use, stylish. Durable. Easy to pair. Amazing battery life.

Great active smart watch. A big update from the venu I had before as it was the 1st gen.

Excellent Garmin Forerunner 965 and long battery life

Can understand why i spent 4 years with an Apple Watch.

Battery life IS great! All working so good till now.

Good battery life and alternative if you don’t like galaxy watches.

I bought this smartwatch to replace a Fitbit Versa 2. I was concerned that the size of the watch would be too large for my wrist but found that its watch face was similar in size to the versa. After using a Fitbit for many years, I am not finding the switch to the Garmin easy. There are features that I used often on Fitbit that I have not found on the Garmin.

This is the best watch I have had. The guys at the store were super helpful in helping me decide between all the watches until they helped me find this one!

Not a bad watch but I preferred Apple products so I returned

I bought the product off of Garmin's own website. Photos to show the actual product. I want to share my experience with the watch and customer support. After having the watch for around 45 days, the battery only last for 4-6 hours. All the third party apps were uninstalled and the extra monitoring the watch can do were turned off with no improvement. Customer support has been impressively distant with no support so far. An engineering team has been contacted to monitor my watch. I have not heard back from them after a month of letting them have access to my watch. Customer support has been reached out to multiple times and they never follow up with anything. Hard to recommend Garmin if their team is unable to help resolve any issues.

worked great when I first got it and the ECG worked really well. Then one day the ECG app disappeared and no matter what I do I cannot get it back. Garmin tech support was no help. Internet search says Garmin updates removes the ECG app without warning but this isnt a Beta and I am in the US. Disappointing and I will try to find something other than garmin that will work.
