Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beautiful and does everything I want, I am an iPhone user and this watch is super compatible. Prefer it over the Apple Watch sleek design and accuracy.

An upgrade from Apple! I’ve been an Apple user all my life, this is changing the game.

I love this watch... it is by far the best smartwatch I have owned. It has so may great features!!

Very nice watch, the battery keeps longer than my previous one

Great watch but don’t like you can’t talk text with the apple phone or ding to find phone like the Apple Watch.

The Garmin Venu 3S (41 mm) is an outstanding smartwatch that strikes a near-perfect balance between advanced health tracking, fitness performance, and elegant everyday design. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller wrists without sacrificing functionality or screen quality. The AMOLED display is bright, crisp, and easy to read in all lighting conditions, while the stainless steel bezel and fiber-reinforced polymer case give it a premium look that works just as well in the gym as it does in professional or casual settings. The French Gray color is subtle, modern, and very versatile. From a performance standpoint, Garmin truly excels. The health tracking features are exceptional—heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking with nap detection, HRV status, stress tracking, and body battery insights all work seamlessly and provide meaningful, actionable data. The GPS accuracy is excellent for outdoor activities, including running, walking, and cycling. Battery life is another major advantage. Unlike many smartwatches that require daily charging, the Venu 3S lasts several days on a single charge, even with regular activity tracking and notifications enabled. The smartwatch also integrates well with daily life through smart notifications, music storage, and Garmin Pay, making it practical beyond fitness use. While it doesn’t aim to replace a full smartwatch phone experience, it excels at what it’s designed to do: health, wellness, and fitness tracking with reliability and precision.

I was hesitant to switch after being a longtime Apple Watch user, but I wanted something that looked more polished and less like the standard tech wearable. This Garmin watch exceeded my expectations in terms of design—it pairs well with business attire and feels like a true timepiece rather than a gadget. The features are impressive, and I’m still exploring everything it has to offer. It’s great for fitness tracking and daily activity monitoring, and the battery life is a major plus. However, the main drawback for me as an iPhone user is the limited text functionality. While I can receive calls, I can’t read or respond to texts, which is a bit inconvenient. Because of that, I still keep my Apple Watch as a backup when I know I’ll need full phone integration. Overall: This Garmin watch is a sleek and functional alternative to the Apple Watch, especially if you’re looking for a more refined, professional look. It balances style with substance and offers a refreshing change—just be mindful of the iPhone compatibility limitations when it comes to messaging.

I absolutely love my Garmin Venu 3S! It’s lightweight, super comfortable, and the screen looks amazing. The health tracking features are what sold me — the Body Battery, sleep coach, and stress tracking have actually helped me understand my routines better. I also use it for workouts, and it tracks everything accurately without feeling bulky on my wrist. The battery lasts days, and being able to take calls and reply to texts from my wrist is so convenient. Overall, it’s the perfect everyday smartwatch for anyone who wants fitness + lifestyle in one device. Highly recommend!

I had been alternating between my two Apple watches. Each one would only last a day on a full charge. I decided to try the Garmin Venu 3s since it was on sale and HOLY MOLY!!! It does not pay to be loyal to Apple. I am on the 4th day of wearing my watch using it for sleep tracking, workout, calls, and the battery and it is just now at 50%. It is extremely lightweight. I was concerned about it at first but I cant even tell it is on. I love the color, too. Im a fan!

i fell in love with the style of this watch. stainless steel and the color too. i'm really impressed how it can measure my heart rate and speed accurately. i have a small wrist and this watch is just perfect! i don't need to charge for about 5 days considering that i have a very active lifestyle.

Easy to use and geared towards athletes. Great, stylish look. Battery lasts for days and charges so fast!

Love this watch!! I had an Apple Watch before this one and compared to the Apple Watch this watch battery last at least 5 days, is very light weight, accurately tracks my sleep, the band doesn’t irritate my wrist and while I haven’t dropped it, I’ve hit my while on my wrist a few times and no damage whereas I dropped my Apple Watch from a short distance and cracked the screen instantly.

My wife loves it for tracking every day health and fitness. Her Apple Watch has to be charged 1-2x per day for sleep tracking so this is much better at once a week or so. Great value with the newest heart rate sensor offered by Garmin and great software and features. Only downside is it will not get more new firmware updates but it will still get bug fixes and such.

I have had an Apple Watch since they first came out but I really wanted to know how my sleep was and other metrics that weren't on the Apple Watch...not to mention that I had to charge it every night. I decided to try this Garmin Venu 3s and have been over the moon. I think it is the perfect watch! I will never go back to apple now! (only thing I am not thrilled about is that I paid full price and today it is $100 off....I bought it a one month ago!)

I’ve been loving my Garmin 3S watch! It fits my small wrist perfectly—sleek and not bulky at all. The minimalist design goes well with almost any outfit, from casual to dressy. Plus, the battery life is amazing—I can go several days without needing to charge it, even with regular use. Super practical and stylish!

I really like this watch it has many so many great features and gives good feedback regarding sleep and exercise information. The battery lasts a really long time. It is sharp looking and the garmin app is also good to use. My only complaint is I don't believe garmin recommends a screen protector for the face and I have gotten a scratch.

Switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Venu and am so happy I did! As a runner, I appreciate the accuracy and the statistics that it gives me. It also looks very nice and is something I feel can be worn for any occasion, both dressing up or sweating it out on the track. The smartwatch functions are not quite as advanced as the Apple Watch, but honestly, I hardly used any of them on my Apple Watch anyway. I still receive notifications and can answer a call, which is all I really need in regards to a smartwatch. I also love the health monitoring it is able to do, such as ECG, pulse ox, and sleep recording. Overall a great watch that is both stylish and functional for a runner who also works in the professional world.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I am obsessed with this watched. I switched from an Apple Watch and I like this one so much more. The battery life alone on this makes it worth it. I’m not use to a watch battery lasting DAYS! It’s amazing. The watch face is customizable in so many ways and looks so good. Compared to Apple Watch, the insight it offers about your overall health, sleep, recovery and training readiness is also amazing. I was most excited it lasts on long hikes so I can track the entire workout. I’m only sad I didn’t make the switch sooner

Beautiful watch with plenty of options to change the faces. Battery life is great, not as many options for cases and bands as Apple Watch. Overall easy to use.

I like that the battery lasts more than 5 days, the watch is light weight and easy to use.
