    I got this garmin and changed from my Apple watch. This watch has additional benefits for heart monitoring and stress level tests which I wanted for post workouts.

    I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase the Venu 3 45mm. It has everything that i have been looking. It has a big screen, multiple clock faces (you can add your own too), all the health data that you need and many more things. Give it a try and you will see how much you will love it. Very happy with the choice that I made. Only thing that could help on the next version would be charging the smartwatch. Rather than having a plug in cable, use one that looks like the one that is used to charge the iWatch.

    As someone who uses an apple watch, i genuinely really liked it. Only problem i had was if my phone was in DND i’d have to set the watch manually and i didn’t like that. ): other then that everything else was really good. it was a easy set up and helped immensely.

    Switched from an Apple watch bc I hated the battery life and how finicky it was around water. I never take this watch off, aside from an hour or so about every two weeks to charge it. Battery life is extremely long, it's never had an issue in water (I even bathe with it on), and the features are really nice. Watch faces are a bit complicated as you have to download another app and try to find faces on it, but it's not that much of a challenge. Great watch, glad I made the switch.

    I was devoted to Apple Watch, but increasingly grew frustrated that the battery died so quickly. So I decided to roll the dice and I haven’t looked back. I can go on day hikes and still have days worth of battery left. It is durable in water. I’ve gone swimming, ice plunge, and countless showers with no issues. It’s also much more attractive (in my opinion) and can be worn with nicer outfits.

    I've been using the Garmin Venu 3, and it's a game-changer for fitness tracking. The AMOLED display is bright, and the design is stylish and comfortable for all-day wear. Sleep insights, heart rate, and stress monitoring are spot-on, and battery life easily lasts through multiple days. Highly recommend it!

    I've been a Garmin Smart Watch fan for a long time now. I've tried many other brands including Pixel, Apple and etc. My snalysis keeps being me back to Garmin! Love the hardware, software, accuracy and of course the battery life! Although a little pricey these watches are worth every dollar. Haven said that this is why decided to buy the Garman Venu 3 watch which will be my daily go to health and activity watch. Great job Garmin!!

    Great Watch for everyday use. I originally bought this watch to track my Dallas Marathon run. It does a great job at accurate gps mileage tracking, better than samsung or apple watches. connecting it to your phone tracks your activities in one place. For everyday use i frequently answer calls or make quick replies to notifications. The customization makes it feel a little more unique. Overall great watch for the price.

    Oversells the features. Get a cheaper Garmin. Voice assistant doesn't work with Android and answering calls is not effective. Very disappointed and now wish I went with one that was cheaper because what you pay extra for you dont' get with this. Battery life is ok. Screen is good. Additionally, Garmin support is virtually useless in getting this watch to do what they say.

    Purchased as a replace to the Apple Watch and so far it has been a major upgrade and the Apple Watches battery life can’t touch what the Garmin can do.
