Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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!

Overall its a good buy that I got to upgrade from my Amazfit Bip 5. The price point between the two watches is significant (like $80 to $350) so I thought this watch would knock my socks off--but it's just okay. A big downfall is that it doesn't auto-track activity very quickly or well--like going for a walk it starts late and doesn't auto-shut off when your actions stop. The Amazfit was a lot smarter, started and stopped on point. The Garmin is more attractive, although I don't like most of the free face options. The app is over done with badges and challenges and junk....I just want my stats complete and ready at a glance its a bit trying. It also doesn't seem to track sleep well enough to not go off when you're sleeping. The manual isn't a joy to cover, nor is working on the settings. It does a lot of things for strength training, but programing that is a pain or not intuitive AND it auto counts reps horribly. The battery is great--but the Amazit had a great battery life too. I like this watch, but its over-priced.

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

I used to have a apple watch which would die in 6 hours. I like that the garmin watch lasts a good 8-10 days depending on activities done. I also like that i can wear it with almost any outfit without it looking sporty.

I can definitely recommend this watch - great battery life, sits very comfortably on your wrist and feels light, great breakdown of health details. Unfortunately it didn't quite work out for me, I've been a long-term Apple user and the interface of Garmin is just not it for me, feels kinda cheap - the fonts and everything. But if you only care about functionality, it will be great for you

Long lasting battery, I don't have to charge it everyday like other smart watches. I didn't wear any watches before purchasing this one but it hasn't been hard getting used to sleeping with it to track sleep. I love waking and Garmin showing me my stats

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 got this as gift to my wife Birthday. She likes it and uses mostly for crossfit workouts. - Battery life is pretty good, it last for about 12-14 days - Display is good for wrist size - Answer calls via watch.

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.

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 have had this watch for over a year now. As an apple person, I had maybe 3/4 iwatches before getting this one. I will say garmin is an active/workout peoples watch. Ive turned off notifications. It is amazing and I do love it! The only downside is not many friends have them, so we cant share activity. I find it is more accurate when calculating burned calories, and steps. another good thing is the battery life! All in all I will be keeping this one for a long time :)

Excellent product. Received before the shipping date given. This watch is awesome. It has more features than most other watches. True of the description.

I had a galaxy watch before this and decided to test this one out because i was tired of having to charge my watch every day. I had high expectations for this Garmin and it exceeded my expectations. I love that it is small and fits my wrist well, while also having great battery life.

great quality, very beautiful, great functionality

Switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Venu S3 after getting into running—best decision I’ve made! The battery life is incredible, letting me wear it 24/7 for accurate sleep tracking, recovery data, and workouts. I love customizing my run screens, and the Garmin Connect app is super easy to use. It doesn’t fully integrate with Apple’s Activity rings, but it does sync steps. Surprisingly, I don’t miss replying to texts from my wrist—it’s nice to read them and respond later. Bottom line: Fantastic watch for anyone looking for deeper health and activity insights.

great watch ,, very accurate on every metric, light weight, and it doesnt loooks like a sport watch.

Such an upgrade from an Apple Watch. I love how much tracking this watch does. Love that the garmin store has really cool watch faces. Awesome budget friendly watch. The battery life is insane! With daily use (not taking it off) a single charge lasts me from 7-10 days depending on how much I use it.

I love my watch! The only annoying thing for me is that I have to have my phone nearby or my watch won’t connect? I’m not sure if I would still be able to track everything and use it without having to manually add it later. Other than that I love it and it has been working wonderfully for me. I did get it wet a few times and I read somewhere that you’re not supposed to press the buttons when it’s submerged in water but I did a few times and it’s still fine. Moving forward I will not be getting it submerged just in case. I have banged it a few times and so far no scratches! Definitely going to get a screen protector just in case. The first few weeks of having the watch it kept asking me to update when I did update as much as possible but that issue has passed for now. The battery lasted over a full week the first week I used it then I noticed it dying quicker and quicker, so far it last about 5 days for me but I am also very active and using it a lot more than most people. When my stress is low I can easily charge once a week.
