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.

    Absolutely love!!! Went from Apple to Garmin and although I didn’t have some features from the Apple the battery life was well worth it. To me more accurate and got 2 weeks before having to charge. Loved it so much I got both sizes

    I've been using Fitbit for years, but later decided to switch to Samsung to sync with my Samsung phone. Then this year, I've been looking for a replacement because the Samsung watch drains battery quickly, even in power-saving mode. So I tried with Garmin, and since I received it, I have no regrets!

    Already has an old apple watch that I could have just upgraded to another apple watch but decided to get Garmin instead. My intended use was for health reasons especially monitoring my heart rate. Was debating between garmin and google. Very gappy with my choice. Very comfortable to wear at all times. The battery is excellent. Aesthetically pleasing. For me overall is a 5!

    The Venu 3S is a great Garmin for me. I am a 75 year old runner and it does an excellent job of organizing my various stats even non running activities. If I can set up this lovely device someone much younger could do it in minutes. I really enjoy how easy the screen is to see.

    My wife loved her watch, the functions that it comes with are extremely useful when it comes to training. She also love the yoga and breathing modes that helps her on her yoga classes. Excited to participate on her next marathon, she will try then the function for it.

    I am a big fan of the Garmin Venu 3s! It does a very good job at tracking your steps, sleep, etc. I very much enjoy the long battery life, which was one of my main factors for buying this particular watch.
