Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great watch overall. Missing some features to compete with similarly priced watches. Texting on this is a nightmare.
I would recommend this to a friendFirst time Garmin buyer.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this watch for my husband in order to help him maintain a healthier lifestyle. He ended up returning the watch due to not being able to receive text/calls on the watch. He tried multiple times after researching the Garmin website, YouTube, and Google. I chose this watch specifically based on its ability to receive text/calls.

I would recommend this to a friendNot for the timid
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a great many features but you need to be very conversant with buttons etc to find any particular function. This required swiping the face to move aro7nd as well. However, if you have arthritic hands, it does not work well. I returned the Garmin and got an Apple Watch

No, I would not recommend this to a friendOverpriced but looks nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It over counts steps by a downright hilarious amount. Apparently I can take 1000+ steps in a little over a minute while walking my dog. But it looks significantly better than than most other fitness/smartwatches.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBetter than watch series 9
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect product for $300. As is, it is overpriced. The new hr sensor isn’t noticeably better. Hopefully, future software will fix this, but products should be software complete before launch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUsed watch for the price of new!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The watch is ok, but... I bought a brand new watch and it had phone numbers saved on it :( . Gave it as a gift and that person was asking me if they were refurbished! Very embarrassing...

Not worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has cool features but for the price it’s just simply not worth it. The sleep tracking is not very accurate. The body battery system is pointless. The “free” training programs for running are for beginners and the fastest run times are 7 minutes. There’s nothing that stands out as an amazing feature that makes spending this amount worth it.

Save your money and stick with the original model
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an upgrade to an original Venu. This product is a HUGE disappointment. The battery life is NO better than that of the original Venu. This has tons of silly add ons like changing the watch face but it doesn’t offer ANY additional features. The watch lasts about a week on a single charge. It uses the same cable as the original but the new cable has a C-type terminus on the opposite end. For $400+ I expected a lot more. If you have an original, unless yours isn’t charging save your money and wait another round. If you are looking for a solid sportswatch consider buying an original Venu because they are still around.

Posted .The venu 3 offers a whole host of new and exciting features as compared to our original venu. To start, the battery life should be significantly longer. In smartwatch mode, the venu 3 will last up to 14 days (compared to the original's 5 day max). (Setting the display to always-on, of course, will shorten that considerably.)
As for other features, the venu 3 offers these high-demand feature additions: sleep score and insights including the uber-popular nap detection, Garmin ECG app, built-in speaker/microphone, a large font option, wheelchair mode, 8GB of activity storage (vs. the original's 200 hour limit), and so much more.
If you'd like to learn more about what your venu 3 offers that your original venu didn't, please reach out to our support team and we'd love to chat more!
