    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.

    Bought this as a gift to replace an older Garmin. This one seems to have a much longer battery life. It's too early to really know, but the recipient is enjoying this model immensely. This has been in use for only 1 week. As an aside, this was $50.00 less than the same model with another vendor.

    Coming from an Apple Watch I’m very happy. Garmin doesn’t necessarily do “smart” watch as well in terms of phone calls and texting and stuff, but the fitness tracking, sleep, long battery life (like a week compared to a day for Apple) and usability is much nicer in my opinion.

    5 stars is not enough stars. This watch has exceeded my expectations by far. The battery life is everlasting, nothing like my Apple Watch. I wonder why I waited so long to make the change. As a runner I should have made this change far sooner.

    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.

    Battery lasts forever, the exercise options are phenomenal, HR, fitness, and stress trackers are great, and the watch looks awesome. I love this watch and if you have an Apple Watch or Samsung watch do yourself a favor and switch over - 10 day+ battery life welcomes you with open arms.

    It was tough getting this watch in white but i finally got it and im very happy so far with it. Battery life is amazing and so are the functions. Hopefully, i remember to review again after a year or so.

    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.

    Got it for the Mrs. as a Mother's Day gift. She loves it, her Apple watch has been kicked to the curb. Battery life is great and health and sleep metrics are fascinating.

    Works well as both a smartwatch and Golf range finder. i had to return / replace the first Venu 3, as the golf app was quirky. So far, no problems with the replacement.

    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!!

    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!

    Love the watch. Love the fact that my battery lasts up to 12 days depending on how much I use some of the features. It gets a little bit of time to get used to it, but that’s on me. Wish there were more options from Garmin to change the band around.

    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.
