Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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

Easy to set up love the charging days compared to an Apple Watch , battery life last longer

This watch is amazing. It combines the best of a real fitness watch and a smartwatch. Only upgraded with the forerunner 570 for marathon training, otherwise this watch killed it.

perfect watch, my wife really love the color, The watch size is also very suitable for women with small wrists.

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

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 love my Venu 3. It's the perfect size and happens to be my favorite color. While it does all the things I need it to do, there are some functions other Garmins have that I wish was included with this one. The glass is STURDY! I had an Apple watch prior to this and on day 1 of having it, cracked the screen. I've had this one now for over two years and have hit it so many times and the glass still looks brand new. The charge really depends on how much you're using the additional functions (Not just as a watch) but I can typically get a week out of one charge. I have an Apple phone and am able to see my texts when they come through and also see that I'm getting calls but am not able to respond via the watch. That is probably the only thing I miss about having and Apple watch. The only thing the bothers me about the watch is that the little thing that holds the tail of the watch isn't stationary. It never stayed on and I was constantly pushing it back down and putting the tail back it. The original one broke within a year but I was able to purchase some generic replacements on Amazon. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would highly recomend it.

I love this watch. Garmin captured everything one would need on this watch..I had an watch from Apple like this one way better.. Don’t hesitate.. Battery lasts forever I haven’t charged it in over a week and still has 50% .

Amazing product! I was a "ride or die" for Apple Watch for years. Used it everyday but I always thought it looked ugly. I wanted an option that looked more like a regular watch but still tracked steps and many health components. After watching a few videos, I decided to buy! This was the BEST decision ever. It tracks EVERYTHING. I am by no means a "Fitness Guru" but it is very helpful to get all of the health insights plus it looks sleek and modern. The color is also beautiful and it's nice enough that I can wear to work or a nicer place without it clashing with my clothing or jewelry. Highly Reccomend!

I finally convinced my wife to ditch her Apple Watch—the one she had to charge every single night—and make the jump to Garmin. I’ve had my Garmin Instinct Solar for over five years, and the battery life and features still blow me away. Now my daughter’s jumped on the bandwagon too. Looks like we’re officially a Garmin family.

I couldn’t be happier with my Garmin Venu. The accuracy of the body metrics is impressive—everything from heart rate to stress and activity tracking feels spot-on. What really stands out is the sleep data; the insights are detailed, easy to understand, and consistently align with how I actually feel each morning. It’s helped me become more mindful of my health and recovery. Highly recommend this watch for anyone who values reliable, meaningful health data.

Got this for the wife and she wears it everyday. The watch helps her track steps, runs, heart rate and many other stuff. Great watch and battery last for days.

I have had multiple generations of Apple watches, and just didn't like the amount of completely irrelevant apps, and felt like the health and fitness tracking was just lacking accuracy. I also hate having to charge my watch daily. The VENU 3S has been amazing so far. I find the menu and apps so much easier to navigate, and I am actually getting useful data. By far the most comfortable smart watch I've tried, it's just the perfect size. Lots of customizable watch faces. I charge my watch about weekly; since I interact with it frequently, it uses more screen time and battery. With a fast charger it has a full charge in about 45 minutes. I've also swapped the band with no issues. I find the Garmin phone apps useful and user friendly. I have absolutely ZERO regrets about choosing this watch. If you are on the fence about moving away from an Apple Watch, or are debating on your first smart watch, the Venu 3 won't disappoint!

I absolutely love my Garmin! It’s incredibly convenient and packed with features that I can’t live without. The alarm function is a standout, and I love how it tracks my steps throughout the day. The sleep coach option is another fantastic feature, helping me improve my rest. What I appreciate most is how health-focused this watch is – it truly cares about my well-being. Beyond the practical features, it’s such a beautiful watch too. Overall, it’s been an amazing experience, and I can’t recommend it enough!

I love my garmin!!! It helps me so much to keep track of my health. It is such an upgrade from my Apple Watch. I absolutely love the long battery life because now I wear this watch for about a week straight, logging all my sleep, recovery, and exercise, and only have to charge it for a couple hours a week. The stats are way more detailed and have so many more features. This is way better than any other smart watch I’ve ever tried.

The battery life is fantastic, and I love the sleep score as well as the body battery. I can wear it a week without needing a charge. Only thing I don’t like is there is not treadmill walking workout so it doesn’t count the miles correctly
