Customer Ratings & Reviews

The real deal regarding smartwatches/fitness trackers. Battery is awesome, lasting days up to a week and then some. Had a Venu first gen and then this and even though both are great, this third gen is the way to go. If you don’t want to get into the most advanced models, and still want to have a modern watch with most of the fitness features with a nice display and awesome battery life, this is it. Don’t even look at the apple watch, it is awesome on so many features too, but the battery is years behind Garmin. Buy this until apple decides to increase its watch battery life. Then you will have to decide. For now, this Garmin Venu 3 is the way to go for sure.

I purchased tgis watch about a month ago. Overall it fits my needs. It is the perfect crosee between a smart watch and a fitness watch. It is awesome for runners. Heart rate and mileage is accurate. I cant say the same for lifting, but it gets what you need done. On a full charge it ladts me about 7 days but, that is because of certain personal settings. It's leaps and bounds better than most smart watches i have previously owned. Being able to download music to the watch is pretty awesome.saves you from dragging your phone along when working out. The challenges and badges are a fun touch to your fitness regiment. Overall if you want fitness watch with the capability of a smart watch and won't break the bank this is definitely your watch.

A very good quality and reliable sport watch that is easy to use with an accurate GPS.

Awesome watch, that is perfect for the average athlete and everyday wearer.

The hardware is great. The watch is comfortable. The battery life is phenomenal. The heartrate and step tracking seem very accurate. The notifications from the phone are useful. There are a lot of interesting options with coaching and other feature I didn't get too deep into. What I don't like about the Venu 3 is the software. I was trying this watch after using a Fitbit for years, and the Fitbit software experience is way better. First of all there is no web dashboard that I can find. The ONLY place you can see your data is in the smartphone app. There was no way that I could find to sync my Garmin health data with my other apps like Google Health, MyNetDiary, etc. I couldn't find a way to automatically sync my wifi scale to the Garmin either so I have to manually enter my calorie and weight data into Garmin's app, which is not something I had to worry about with the Fitbit.

Honestly, the best sports and health watch. I had the AW series ten and switched over. Yes there are some smart features it does have, but if you are even a slightly active person, this watch is leagues better than an Apple Watch. Plus the batter lasts 2 weeks.

First smart watch I have owned. Did not want to spend crazy amount on the high-end watches. I have used the Venu 3 to track sleep, body battery, track ECG and complete Health Snapshot. Happy with the purchase.

Incredible watch, 10+ day battery life. Dsiplay easy to see in direct sunlight.

Great watch with great battery life. Get about 8 days depending on the number of activities you record. Plenty of options for activity tracking. Speaker is so so, rarely use it and volume is sub par. After 5 months it still works great. I wish Garmin had better watch faces that show text notifications. In addition the watch strap starts to show cosmetic wear after 4 months or so.

Got this for my husband and he is loving it! He went from and AppleWatch to Garmin (I myself switched from Fitbit to Garmin in September 2024 and love it, hence his switch to Garmin as well...plus we can challenge each other on the app haha)! Fitbit was nice but Garming truly comes with so much more in regard to many aspects (fitness tracking abilities, styles, customizing, etc.). He has been wearing the Venu 3 for a couple weeks now and has truly enjoyed it. His only issue is not finding his band the most comfortable but luckily that is an easy fix since there are quick and easy band change options.

This watch is great. It has helped me form some workout routines that keep my heart rate up while in the gym, counts my steps accurately and love how connect interfaces with my fitness pal. Battery lasts about a week and charges pretty quick when I charge it.

Great watch for basic health tracking. Good at monitoring workouts, strain, and sleep. Very comfortable and good battery life.

I purchased this as an upgrade to my Venu 2, and I am not disappointed. The new software, the larger screen, and the accuracy of both the heart rate sensor and the GPS are excellent.

Coming from the Apple Watch Ultra to set the stage here. I recently went back to an Android phone and wanted something more fitness related with better battery life. Getting calls and text was must so i chose the Venu 3. I have been happy in every way. This doesnt have the suite of connected apps and seemsless transiton from phone to device like a apple watch or samsung watch. But its screen, battery life, and fitness tracking are amazing. If you have been on the fence about getting one, consider this your sign to go head first.

Thr fit is an absolute comfort. Its stays on my hand all day and night and i dont even realise its there. The readings are accurate and the app is very easy and intuitive.

Switched from an Apple Watch and best decision ever. Using it to track my workouts, sleep and steps. Super accurate too

It is a daily use. I really enjoy the features. I enjoy the tracking ability the most.

The Garmin Venu 3 GPS has great battery life, and I enjoy not having to charge the watch frequently. I moved away from the apple watch because the battery life is horrible. The watch is also light weight and comfortable and provides excellent exercise performance monitoring. Also, the Garmin Venu 3 GPS is a great looking watch. I highly recommend the watch for those moving away from Apple watch.

Bought it as a replacement for a Tic Watch Pro that stopped charging. Love this watch. Lots of functionality and easy to use. Only issue is the charging wire. Like other watches from Tic, Apple, etc., it needs a special wire. Worse, the wire plugs into the back of the watch. It's a tight fit and leaves the watch at an angel that makes it hard to see the face. Good news is that it charges quickly and I only need to charge it every 3 days. Also connects to my bike and to my Garmin bike computer so it tracks everything and every sensor. Also like the sleep function and that the watch face dims significantly once in sleep mode.

Great display. Superb sleep metrics. Exercise recording/heart rate/O2 sat/respiratory rate/ gps seems accurate. Garmin connect and exercise plans/visuals a plus.
