    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.

    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.

    Glorified Samsung Watch - Cheaply Made

    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.

      I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the Venu 3. Using the setting you had set up will certainly deplete the battery life. Garmin

    Heart rate monitor is awful

    I usually don’t leave reviews but I don’t want to see anyone waste their hard earned money like I did. I previously owned the original Garmin Venu and I absolutely loved it. So when the Venu 3 went on sale over Christmas i decided to give it a try even after reading a few bad reviews about the hate rate monitor seeming to lag or give inaccurate readings. I wish I would’ve went with either a different model or different company because the heart rate monitor is awful. It lags and seems to be playing catch up majority of the time while working out. I’ve tried moving the watch to different positions on my write, I’ve even reset it. Save your money and get something else.
