Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the Venu 3S GPS Smartwatch's excellent battery life and overall performance. Many appreciate its beautiful design, array of features, light weight, accuracy, and comfortable fit, especially for smaller wrists. However, some customers feel that the watch could offer more app options and have experienced issues with sleep tracking. On the other hand, some customers appreciate the ability to send text messages.

    Nice watch, but…. I returned it. If you want to use it with an iPhone, it’s gonna be a disappointment. It’s not Garmin’s fault but it is still a bummer. The notifications don’t work properly, everything looks like you received a message but it is actually not a message every time. Sometimes it’s different app notifications. My iPhone dropped calls all the time when it was connected to my watch, so I had to turn my Bluetooth off if I wanted to talk to someone on the phone. This watch also does not start or stop recording an exercise when you go on a run and then finish it like every other smart watch on the market. Lastly, watch faces are very limited. It’s a beautiful watch though, I loved the look!

      I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with your Venu 3S. I use with the iPhone and don't' have any issues. Is your phone software up to date? Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device. As well, if you still need assistance you can reach out directly to a product support associate from that link. Garmin

    My wife loves the upgrades from the Venu 2 Plus. The smaller size of this watch may be an issue but she knows I can get her the Venu 3 to solve that.
