    Purchased a week ago. Having been an Apple Watch user for many years still trying to get used to the watch but so far so good. One great thing so far is the battery life. I charged it exactly a week ago and it’s still has 50% battery life. Not having to charge daily or every other day is a huge plus in my book. And again only a week and not missing my Apple Watch at all.

    Garmin is new to me; I am an Apple person. But so far, I love this watch. Battery life alone makes it worth it! I wore both watches for a day, and my steps were pretty much the same. I'm looking forward to joining some of the built-in challenges. I only wish the Venu3 came in colors other than black and white.

    Retired my Fitbit Versa 4 due to the fact they discontinued Web support (via/input) for their products. This is the best smartwatch/fitness watch I every owned and the Web support and input via Garmin Connect is very detailed. I use Mfitnesspal to input food. Glad I changed to only Garmin. Excellent quality and customer support!

    I didn’t finish the set up and my wife convinced me to buy an Apple Watch. Which I plan to return and buy this Garmin or one a little better. Love Garmin watches.

    I loved the watch but ended up returning it. I wanted to use it for working out and everyday activities but it couldn’t do it. I use Strava and it does not connect the heart rate monitor to Strava to display with your ride. It says it can receive a send text messages but does not tell you that you will not be able to use it with IPhone. Quite disappointed, and battery life was not what it’s rated for 12 days, I got 3 days before I had to charge it, which is still a lot better that Apple Watch, but for what I wanted to use the watch I ended up going back to Apple Watch. I wanted to love Garmin but as it had a bunch of neat features but not in order that I needed to use them. Maybe in the future

    The Venu 3 was my second Venu I ave owned. The watch is signifcantly better that the original watch and meets my expectations for health and ativity monitoring. The battery life is far better than previously.

    I bought this watch as a gift for my husband because he didn’t have a watch and he wanted something that would accurately track his workouts, this watch has been amazing in doing that , the battery life is also amazing I’ve watched him wear it for over a week and not have to charge it once he also has so many workout apps that’s available for him through his watch he loves it

    The watch is performing well and had good integration with iPhone. However, the battery life is around 5 days on average which is not expected.

    I've had the watch for a couple of weeks and no complaints so far. Unlike previous watches I had, I am actually able to wear this one for extended periods without my wrist having an allergic reaction. The battery life seems to be great. I have probably worn it at most 3 days straight, and there was no signs of low battery. A lot of features that I like, but most of all, I like that I can get all my phone notifications.
