Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Excellent you must tried it works very good En lo personal una exelente compra.

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.

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.

Great fitness tracker, terrible smartwatch. I wanted to be a little more strict about my health and I heard the Venu 3 was the Garmin smartwatch equivalent so I thought it’d be an easier transition. However, I had to return the Garmin. After about 2 weeks I knew it wasn’t for me because I just don’t need that level of fitness tracking and the UI/over all aesthetic looks ANCIENT! After watching so many Youtube videos comparing Garmin and AppleWatch, not one person mentioned how the UI on the Garmin looks like it’s from 2009. It is definitely based on lifestyle though as I can see how a fitness enthusiast would not be too worried about aesthetics and simply want to see their metrics. However, my lifestyle just isn’t so ingrained in fitness that I’m that interested in these metrics. I returned it and got an AppleWatch series 11 for cheaper and I’m quite happy now realizing the parts of a smartwatch I really enjoy and what I simply don’t need to use.

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

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.

Great battery life, really good features and health tracking

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.

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!

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

It's great it honestly is, I use it for my anxiety and to track my episodes through the stress app along with heart rate. For that purpose its great. Also works well for workouts. Only issue I have is the function with my pixel phone. Using Google assistant specifically. If you want to use this watch for it's full potential and have a pixel phone look at some of the blogs about the issues between the two. Setting up voice assistant is nearly impossible and doesn't work well. Apparently the new Google update causes the issue from what I've read. I don't use the watch as an extension of my phone but as an additional tool. So I can look past it. If you can't set up the voice assistant, you can't respond to texts, make calls, add things to calendar. You can still listen to music (control your music), see notifications (reading and dismissing them is all you can do). All the other functions the watch comes with work incredibly well such as the stand alones you only get with the watch; heart rate, sleep score, workouts and so on.

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.

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.

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.

I love this product, easily the best smart watch I’ve ever had. Does everything I could ask for in a smart watch and then some. I switched from an Apple Watch and would never go back!!

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.

Not perfect but the best all around smartwatch on the market. Does many things well but nothing perfectly. Good size, great screen and ease of use but lacks that WOW factor. A bit over priced compared to others offering the same features. However, overall its a darn good watch with plenty of features, ease of use and materials use.

Perfect smart watch, I've been using it for my running and it has helped me to keep my pace and body performance.
