    It took me a while to adjust to the Garmin watch after using Apple Watch. Getting music on it was a pain - I pay for Apple Music, so iTunes only transferred over a handful of songs (not the thousands I have downloaded). Gave up and subscribed to Spotify - perhaps this is a ploy to get users to pay for Spotify. In regards to using it for running, I LOVE it! It stays charged for days, and it provides much more info than Apple Watch did.

    I had the out dated samsung gear s3 frontier and upgraded to a garmin mainly for watch and health readings. The venu 3, not only looks nice but the battery life is insanely crazy. You wont regret your purchase. Just note, Garmin watches is NOT great at responding to text. You get quick messages that you can edit. Since in not using it for messaging, the garmin venu 3 works best for me.

    I love this watch. I have an old Fenix 5 and Pixel Watch. If I could wear both, I would. The Venu 3 is both watches in one, and more. It's fantastic. You can even get Pixel Watch faces to replicate the feel of a Pixel Watch. Garmin never failed to impress me before, but this device is on another level.

    The best smartwatch/sportswatch I have ever owned! I'm an apple user, and I have all the apple device you can think off, but this watch is 10x better than apple watch! 14 days battery and constant monitoring of your health! You can't beat that!

    I like this so much better than my old Vivoactive 4. The GPS is so much better. I haven't tried using it for music and work out, on my Vivoactive 4, when my ear buds disconnected, my work out tracker would stop tracking. Talked to Garmin about it, was told it was a feature.

    Great device - having been a long time Garmin user, this Venu 3 has been the best. Previous devices include the Forerunner series and I find the Venu’s integration of more smartwatch features better meet my expectations. Battery is superior than my Apple Watch and the health features can’t be beat. Great job, Garmin!

    I’m coming from a Apple watch and this is a great option for who likes to track health and sport metrics without losing too many smart watch functionalities. The battery life is great, I can wear it to sleep without worrying too much about getting it ready for the next day. The work out metrics is very useful as well.

    I purchased this gift from my wife who previously owned an Apple Watch. She generally feels this. Garmin is more user-friendly and the features are quicker to access. She is really impressed by the length of battery life. Would definitely purchase again.

    So far, so good. I'll be honest, haven't used it in a run or hike yet but impressed with the watch so far. I got it for the ECG app and it takes great tracings.
