Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

I’ve been using the Garmin Venu 3S for over a year, and it’s been consistently reliable. It’s stylish, comfortable, and packed with multiple features, including health and fitness tracking. The GPS works well, the battery lasts for days, and the insights are genuinely useful. Overall, it’s a well-rounded smartwatch that delivers excellent performance and value.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Much better for me than a Galaxy of Google smart watch. Very easy to read. Very easy to operate: does one thing at a time with font sizes I can read. Battery lasts a week. I won't go back to a "traditional" smart watwch.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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