I really wanted to like this watch. I previously had an Apple Watch Series 4, and really enjoyed it for fitness. I’m the past year, I have gotten more into cross training via strength training, peleton, walks, and the occasional run.
I got this specifically for fitness since it has such rave reviews.
Pro:
-The battery life was AMAZING
-The overall look is so elegant and doesn’t look overly sporty
-great features: like the rep counter for strength training
-alarm feature
Con:
-the interface of the Garmin connect app was so messy for me. I could never find what I was looking for without having to Google it first
-there was no tutorial or intro the the app and how to use/navigate
-Integration with some of my existing apps (peleton, ladder, Strava etc) was more annoying than anything. Yes there are third party sites that can sync your workouts but I found often that the interaction between apps (or lack thereof) would fail
-I would have to do so much planning on which app or what setting to use to make sure my workout would get recorded accurately for a simple 20min walking pad walk. By the time I figured it out my motivation to spontaneously go for a quick walk is cut short to 10m
I really wanted to love this watch it looks so great and has soooo much potential. It just wasn’t a good fit for me and my fitness goals. I ended up returning it after about a week and got the newest Apple Watch.

Bought for my fiancée and she has not taken it off since purchasing. Got rid of her Apple Watch to return to Garmin. Perfect for runners. Great battery life

Purchased this for my wife to replace her Apple Watch. Be aware, this is a “fitness” watch first. While there is iPhone integration, it’s limited - you can’t ping your iPhone if you misplace it and can’t send custom text messages - only pre-canned messages.

Great watch but compared to Samsung Watch 7 44mm... It's ight if you are solely in the Samsung Ecosystem. If you don't care about Samsung ecosystem like me, this is 5stars. But my wife is more focus on the Samsung Ecosystem since this was her first smart watch outside Samsung and she prefers Samsung. So it's 4stars for her.

Love this watch! I’ve had Fitbit, Samsung, and Apple Watch. THIS is my favorite. It does everything the others do (plus a few they don’t) and the best part? Battery life!! I loved it so much my sister bought one!! She love it too!

Very cute and stylish, I wanted to love it but I did not have the time or mental capacity to learn a new system and it’s a bit clunky. I stuck with my Apple Watch, maybe in the future

So glad I ditched my Apple Watch for this. The battery life is amazing! I can go about 2 weeks on a single charge. I will never go back to Apple Watches.

I had been needing & wanting a good watch, when i shopped for this Garvin Venu S3. I’m very pleased with my purchase & would recommend this watch to friends & family thats needs a good watch to help keep up with their daily activity! The band is available in many different colors, and very comfortable! Wished i was able to make a better review, but ever dince I received it I’ve been hospitalized!

Aside from it looking so nice and polished on your wrist, it really does a great job at monitoring your sleep, heart rate and workouts. Not surprising, Garmin really is the leader in this space. If you're not looking to reply to iphone texts, this is superior in every way to an Apple Watch
