Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great smart watch. The battery will last me 6-7 days on average. It connects well to my phone. This is my second Garmin. Nothing was wrong with my other Garmin, but I wanted an upgrade.

I purchased this for my husband as a gift—an upgrade from his previous Garmin—and he absolutely loves it! The battery life is outstanding, far surpassing that of my Apple Watch. He’s especially impressed with the Garmin app features, which have exceeded his expectations and been a great asset to his fitness journey and active lifestyle. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their health and performance tracking.

Honestly this watch it outstanding. Does everything but reply to text messages. Battery last 2 weeks. It is super fast and easy to use. Great quality

I've had this product for about a week and a half now. For a fitness tracker it has all of the Smartwatch capabilities that I could want. I really like the overall look of the device and how it functions. It's an awesome Fitness tracker. Lastly the battery life is incredible. Getting multiple multiple days out of each charge. It has a beautiful crisp screen so I'm still trying to figure out why I can go so long without a charge when Samsung devices and apple watches cannot possibly compete.

I upgraded from an apple watch because apple watch kinda sucked and this garmin watch is way better than the apple watch, battery life is almost 2 weeks compared to apples 24 hours

It’s a good watch, I love use all the time, don’t need charger frequently

After having an Apple Watch for years I wanted to try Garmin for the battery life. I needed a few requirements to make this work. I wanted to be able to run multiple timers at once, and I needed to be able to do voice to text, read and respond to texts from the watch. I couldn’t do either. Apparently there were some work around for the timer issue. Some personal apps that others programmed. I tried to make those work but if I returned to the watch screen, it shut off my timers. I also realized Apple phones and Garmin watches don’t really play nice with each other. Garmin required three different apps to be installed just to have the connection to phone, the health stuff associated to my fitness stuff, and to install different apps onto the watch. Just not worth the hassle. With Apple and Samsung watches able to do most stuff the phones can do, this seems like a huge programming under sight by Garmin. Watch was returned after a few days. The only positive thing was the watch did look nice and the battery was still nearly full after a couple of days.

This watch excels in endurance, outlasting the competition even with a charge every 2.5 days. However, my shift to a Garmin, aiming to eliminate charging concerns, didn’t work out. Setting aside the battery issue, this watch is impressive. The vibrant screen, especially its night mode color switch, is a smart touch. The heart rate accuracy surpasses my previous devices, though it occasionally showed elevated rates, possibly reflecting reality. Beyond that, the additional features like HRV, EKG, sleep tracking, and stress monitoring, along with the morning report, are valuable. The sleep tracking, however, seemed less accurate, often misinterpreting stressed nights as restful. The oxygen check feature is a useful addition, though it significantly impacts battery life, especially when set to continuous monitoring. I found the optimal balance during sleep mode, but turning it off seemed to minimize battery consumption. The watch’s overall battery performance fell short of my expectations, needing a recharge every 2 days, even with certain features disabled. Running multiple EKGs daily, while impressive, didn’t offset the absence of exercise GPS. For those not fixated on continuous oxygen monitoring, this watch offers great potential, easily lasting a week without a charge.

Overall a wonderful purchase. Tracks things that i didnt think i wanted tracked. Helps with good healthy movements and decisions

I got this watch for my wife because her Apple Watch Series 9 requires daily charging. She absolutely loves the watch; it lasts her 5-6 days on a single charge. The Garmin app provides her with detailed feedback on her running and gym classes. It’s an excellent watch for both beginners and runners. Unlike the Apple Watch, just collected all the data but doesn’t provide any useful feedback. The only thing she wants is a smaller size 43mm option instead of the 41mm.

Great purchase and well worth the money. The battery life is amazing and the display is next level.

In summary, the Garmin Venu 3 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a smartwatch with advanced activity tracking features, smart functionality, and comprehensive health and wellness monitoring. Its sleek design, combined with its ruggedness and reliable performance, makes it an attractive option for athletes and users with an active lifestyle.

I liked the size of the watch personally. It is a perfect size. And also the display is clear to read. There is so much you can do with this watch as far as hiking or working out. The only thing i can complain about really is it is loaded with stuff i would never use. And stuff i would never learn to use. But the build quality is insane and it easily pairs to your phone with no issues. And battery life is insane. I can go 5 days min on a single charge.

This watch was purchased as an upgrade to my amazing Vivoactive 4. This watch is just a complete upgrade across the board: much better battery and display, improved sensors and more useful feedback. I primarily lift weights and do some moderate running, so I felt this watch to be the most well-rounded for my needs. If you are more multi-activity oriented, I find the Venu 3 to be the best choice at its price point.

He loves his new watch. He always had an apple watch. But we decided to get this Garmin watch and so far, no complaints.

I love this watch. It has a great battery life and I love all the health data it tracks.

Very cool watch, fits very nicely on the hand, very long time without charging, I am satisfied!!!!

I have had the Venu 3 for about a month now and I really enjoy it compared to my old Fitbit Sense. First of all the battery life is amazing compared to what I had, I am charging once a week instead of every other day. I like the health features but haven't figured them all out yet. I haven't calibrated the step feature and it doesn't seem to track my steps as much as my old watch but like I said I have not calibrated it. I like that it automatically tracks my walking activity but it doesn't seem to know that when I mow the lawn I am still walking. I wish it had a yard care feature, it is still exercise. I have used it for strength training but am not sure how that works yet. It still has a lot that I haven't used yet but overall it is a great watch even for an old man like me. (late 60's)

I purchased this watch for my husband for Christmas and he loves it!

The watch felt light on my smaller wrists which made it easy to jog and sleep with. The watch was more than generous with my steps. I went around a 1 mile path and it gave me credit for 1.42 miles. Also even though my older Garmin recorded my sleep this Garmin did not record anything. The settings were turned on.
