Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best purchase I’ve made this year so far, the battery life is great last me 1 week. Very accurate as well

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 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.

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.

Excellent watch! The battery life is amazing and all the functionality works great. Highly recommend this watch!

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.

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 value for money for an entry-level Sport Watch, and it perfectly meets the needs for running, gym workouts, and swimming.

This works very well as a watch, and it's easy to select workouts. I'm also glad that it supports tap-to-pay! Also, this is easily the most comfortable watch I've ever owned!

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.

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.

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.

Works great. Way better than my Apple Watch. I charge once a week. Charged quick too

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.

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.

Garmin makes excellent products and this was purchased to replace a Samsung watch (old model had for about 5 yrs, but loved it). The connections to my phone are excellent, reading texts are cool and seeing phone calls are great! I really like all the monitors built into this watch and the many things I can keep and eye on my health for me and my Doc. He appreciates it too as another set of eyes, plus it backs me up when I say I am working out, I have proof!! The battery life is absolutely incredible, I get between 6-7 days between fillups, and I use almost all of the apps included. There are a couple of things keeping the last star off and that is the app and watch faces, they are just not up to par. The app is just kinda there, it is basically just a data compiling app and not much else. I can't do anything to the watch (change a face for one, unless I go to the connect website, why not build it into the app??) except change some personal settings and that's it. And the biggest reason I have knocked a star off is the watch faces, what is Garmin doing there, building an enterprise for entrepreneurs? The watch faces are the biggest problem I have, they just are not telling you anything on the face that are that helpful. And if I can find one while looking through the thousands of watch faces on the connect website (no real rhyme or reason there...), I am not paying $5 for it and then hope they keep it up to date with the changes in software that will eventually come out. Garmin, take a look at the Samsung and Google watch face websites at the FREE ones and see that the ones they make are actually helpful for you to see at a glance what your health looks like. Sorry, got to go, my watch is telling me it's time to move, and health is more important than having a stroke! Great watch, and worth the purchase, but some changes are needed by Garmin, just some thoughts, cause I love ya!!

The Garmin Venu 3 works very well when paired to the iPhone. I found this watch to be the most user friendly and many of the watch faces are free. Highly recommended due to its 12 plus days of battery life. I like it large easy to read face and better that the Apple Watch.

My wife loves it! Got it for her to track her sleep and now she uses it for things I didn’t know it could do.

Lightwieght. Advertised battery life is a little lower than advertised, but it's plenty. it has the newest sensor and is very accurate. Gps is accurate. Steps are accurate. Get this over the samsung series.
