Daily driver! You got 3-5 days of battery based on usage and light on the wrist. Many key features like hydration, sleep tracking guide, jet lag advisor, workout suggestions, etc. are free. No fancy watch faces though and I wish they included full metal casing in this version. I wear in almost all ocassions so it’s a win in my book!

I had a classic Samsung watch before buying this Garmin watch. Definitely better option. I wanted a longer battery life. With aod off its 10 days and about 7 days with aod on. I do wish there was a text option when clicking a contact but voice assistant will have to do so i can start a conversation on text. This one does let you custom text so its nice if you already have a conversation going. Voice assistant works with Google or Bixby, i have a Samsung phone. One other thing is the sleep schedule, it could be improved. There should be a option turn on/off as I travel a lot. I have been turning off sleep mode and dnd if i am out during my sleep schedule so it can be a little annoying sometimes. No big issues so far. Im using a previous screen protector on the watch face for now until i purchase a new one. The charger is a usb-c end with the garmin watch end. A little different than i expected, unfortunately it doesnt have wireless charging as i tried doing that with my Samung phone. Overall, I still do recommend the watch for battery life, display, workouts, and phone connectivity. Ive had my watch for 2 months so far, used in Europe and very helpful displaying info. I got this on sale for black friday at $400 compare to the $450.

I had previously owned a Garmin 645 forerunner which finally started to act up after 5 yrs of constant wear and tear. Garmin quietly released this gem of a watch about 2 weeks before my forerunner died. So the upgrades that I have on my Venue 3 is the difference from daylight and dark. Immediately you can see the screen resolution was a huge improvement. Secondly, I noted that the heart rate sensors are more accurate comparing the watch to the heart rate sensors on the gym equipment. Thirdly, by using this Venue 3 as an everyday watch I was looking to minimize the need to look at my phone ( if my phone wasnt in reach). This Venue allows you to look at pictures that ppl send to you along with Ring doorbell footage. It also allows you to respond back to texts and you can talk and text through your watch without having to get a cellphone plan for your watch. I got the big Venue3 instead of the 3s.

I didn’t think I was going to like this watch as I’ve been a long term Apple Watch user! But I’ve been really into running lately and thought I’d treat myself to a little upgrade, safe to say I love my purchase as it’s more GPS accurate and has way more features regarding health than the Apple Watch ! And to top it off, I don’t have to charge this garmin FOR DAYSSSSSS! Lowkey one of the best features

Love it ...ECG feature is wonderful to have similar to the 1k plus fenix garmin but at a much lower price ....much longer battery life than my apple watch with much more info display...

This is the best smartwatch ever, I love it, the best is you don’t need to charge every day the battery is very powerful. I changed my apple smartwatch and I’m very happy.

Bought it for Christmas gift for my wife.So far so good.Proven long battery life.

The Garmin Venu 3 strikes a wonderful balance between sleek smartwatch design and robust fitness tracking—perfect for everyday wear and health-conscious users. Its 1.4-inch AMOLED display (454 × 454 pixels) is bright, colorful, and exceptionally sharp, offering vivid visuals that stand out even in sunlight .One of its standout features is long battery life—up to two weeks in smartwatch mode and around five days with frequent GPS use—putting many rivals to shame. This makes it ideal for long trips or those who simply don’t want to charge every night. On the smart side, Garmin brings back the speaker and microphone, enabling on-wrist calls and voice assistant access—truly convenient for quick replies or hands-free use Gadgets & Wearables

I bought this watch after using AW for a few years. I really loved AW except for the battery. However, this Garmin watch has more features than my AWS 10 and plus the 14 days’ worth of battery. If you were to turn off a few settings like Pulse Oximeter, it might give you more than 14 days. As for the build quality, I would say it’s solid. It honestly didn’t feel cheap, and Gorilla Glass makes it look attractive and durable! I wish I got the black version instead of the white. I mostly wear black outfits, so it would’ve been perfect. I recommend this watch to anyone who’s looking for a reliable smartwatch that tracks HR, steps, and sleep accurately. If you have OCD about battery life then this watch is for you!

I have used a couple different watches in the past being Apple & Fitbit. This watch by far is the best one I've had. This watch has so many features that the others didn't & it seems to be very accurate when tracking golf, steps, calories and other activities. Impressed!

great battery life, accurate sleep tracking, accurate body battery! only issue is that the body and metal casing scuff up pretty easy - would recommend getting the black instead of white. i got this on sale for 350usd. also both the venu 3 and venu 3s look fine on smaller wrists, i have little toothpick wrists, but the font is bigger on the venu 3. it's more like the venu 3 is the blown up version of the venu 3s, its not that you can see more on the screen, its just that everything is bigger.

I’m a runner and a total gym rat, and I’ve tried a bunch of smartwatches over the years. The Garmin Venu 3? Hands down, my favorite so far. The screen is super crisp, battery life is amazing (over a week!), and it tracks everything—HR, sleep, stress, recovery, you name it. It even gives you a sleep coach. You can take calls, control music, and it actually looks good on your wrist. No LTE and not a ton of apps, but if you care more about performance than flashy features, this watch totally delivers.

We are apple people but switched due to the garmin having a round face. The watch has so much information and the screen is crystal clear and the battery life is awesome. Very hqppy with the purchase.

I'm a long-time Apple watch user and I am loving the Garmin Venu 3. It's nicer looking, has a better/larger display and I can wear it 24/7 as it holds a charge for days. The decision points are simple... if you're just looking for the best smartwatch for comms and apps, then the Apple has an edge. But, if you're an active person who plays some sports (almost any sport, I use it for golf and cycling) this is far better than the Apple watch. The cycling function on my Garmin watch was too limiting... the Garmin allows you to customize your data fields and you can see a mirage of data for your activity. All the other lifestyle and health apps on the Garmin are just far far superior, more nuanced, more detail and more intuitive. Screen size is perfect... I have small wrists and it is a big display without looking like I am wearing a clock. N\It's not as thick as other Garmin watches either.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Excellent Watch – Great for Fitness & Everyday Use!** I’ve been using my Garmin watch for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier. The design is sleek and comfortable to wear all day, and the battery life is seriously impressive – I go several days without needing to charge it. The fitness tracking is super accurate. I use it for running, cycling, and strength training, and I love how detailed the data is. The GPS locks in quickly and tracks my routes perfectly. I also like that it tracks sleep, stress levels, and heart rate 24/7. One of my favorite features is how customizable everything is — from the watch face to the workout screens. The Garmin Connect app is user-friendly and gives a full picture of my health and performance. If you're looking for a reliable smartwatch that’s focused on fitness and doesn’t distract you with too many gimmicks, this is it. Totally worth the investment!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
