    I give it 3 stars because I like the style of this watch. It's so cheaply made though. The screen is already scratced?? There's a lag when you scroll thru the watch. The band is very thin. You have to have it tightly on your wrist to get correct sleep data. TBH, I'm not even sure if it's accurate. My apple watch Ultra gave me different results. The battery life is by far the best thing about this watch. Basic watch if you want something outside the Apple/Samsung sphere. However, it needs improvement. It's basic.

    Way Better Than I Expected

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This watch works great. The Garmin software can be a little clunky to get working with Strava, but overall a great watch.

    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.

    Even though it's only been a couple weeks, I love all the things this watch can track. It has helped me quantify my poor sleep patterns and I am improving my running by doing intervals. It took a while for to figure out how to use it, but it has been great for me. I only charge it every 3 days or so, but it charges quickly! This is my first watch like this and I couldn't be happier.

    There was a bit of a learning curve with this watch compared to an Apple watch, Pixel watch, and 2 Samsung watches I've used in the past. However, it only took a couple of days to get used to. After a week of use now, I have been impressed by the various fitness tracking options and the battery life.

    I have the black version of this watch. It is wonderful at tracking your steps and heart rate. I almost forgot its sleep tracking abilities as well.

    Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a watch that’s running and fitness focused but still smartwatch oriented. I’ve also used the golf features in the watch that are a nice perk. The watch will note the distance to the pin and keep track of shot locations to summarize the round.

    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!

    Battery lasts way longer than my apple watch, which was my biggest issue. Very light weight and comfortable.
