Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Venu 3 GPS Smartwatch, especially its exceptional battery life and overall performance. Many users appreciate the accurate GPS, sleep tracking capabilities, and the quality of the screen. While the watch is generally well-received, some users have experienced connectivity issues, and a few find the size unsuitable for smaller wrists, and the user interface could use an update.

    I like this so much better than my old Vivoactive 4. The GPS is so much better. I haven't tried using it for music and work out, on my Vivoactive 4, when my ear buds disconnected, my work out tracker would stop tracking. Talked to Garmin about it, was told it was a feature.

    I give it 3 stars because I like the style of this watch. It's so cheaply made though. The screen is already scratced?? There's a lag when you scroll thru the watch. The band is very thin. You have to have it tightly on your wrist to get correct sleep data. TBH, I'm not even sure if it's accurate. My apple watch Ultra gave me different results. The battery life is by far the best thing about this watch. Basic watch if you want something outside the Apple/Samsung sphere. However, it needs improvement. It's basic.

    Switched from the Apple Watch to the Venu 3 and I’m very happy with my purchase. Granted it took a little while to get use to the Garmin platform but once you do it’s well worth it. The watch is full of useful information and it looks very nice. I’m 61 and the switch from Apple to Garmin was fairly easy. My wife bought one as well and she’s extremely happy with it and she was a longtime Apple Watch user as well.

    I love the watch the screen was amazing, the futures on this watch were awesome. My only issue was not being able to respond to text messages when you’re in the mud or in the middle of a hike and you can’t grab your phone other than that. Great watch

    I’m coming from a Apple watch and this is a great option for who likes to track health and sport metrics without losing too many smart watch functionalities. The battery life is great, I can wear it to sleep without worrying too much about getting it ready for the next day. The work out metrics is very useful as well.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I bought this as a replacement for a Fitbit and it was a MAJOR upgrade. I appreciate all the (non-paywalled) additional features. While the free app isn’t the easiest to navigate, you get so much and far richer data from this than any other tracker I’ve used in the past. And it also looks nice too!

    This is a great watch if has naps added go it and the quality is good, however compares go venu 2 plus it doesn’t have an option for ecg and it does not track your body temp. However it might get added in the future because the sensors are present on the device itself.
