"I recently purchased the Garmin Venu 3S, and I honestly could not be happier with the decision. After using it daily, I can say it truly lives up to the hype, especially for those who want a powerful fitness tool that doesn’t look like a bulky piece of plastic on their wrist.
Look and Feel The first thing that struck me was the design. The 41mm case is the perfect size—it’s sleek, lightweight, and has a premium feel that transitions easily from a morning run to a professional setting. The AMOLED touchscreen is incredibly vibrant and responsive, making it a joy to use.
Incredible Data Insights As a data lover, the amount of information this watch provides is staggering. Beyond standard step counting and GPS, the 'Body Battery' and the new 'Sleep Coach' features have been game-changers for me. It doesn’t just tell you how you slept; it explains how your activities, naps, and stress levels impacted your energy for the day. Having HRV (Heart Rate Variability) tracking and the Morning Report makes me feel like I have a personalized health assistant on my wrist.
Battery Life That Actually Lasts One of my biggest frustrations with other smartwatches was the daily charging struggle. The Venu 3S is a breath of fresh air. Even with several tracked workouts and all the health sensors running, I’m getting nearly 10 days of battery life. It’s a ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ experience that makes it so much more reliable for long-term health tracking.
The Verdict If you are looking for a watch that looks great, offers elite-level health data, and won't die on you mid-week, the Venu 3S is the one. It’s worth every penny!"

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.

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 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.

Here is my super casual take on the Garmin Venu 3S in ivory. It is the smaller 41 mm version, comfy enough to wear all day and to bed, with a stainless bezel, a fiber reinforced case, and a bright AMOLED screen that looks clean and modern.
Battery life is the headline feature. Garmin rates the 3S for up to 10 days in smartwatch mode, which in normal life means you can go a long weekend without hunting for a charger and still track your stuff.
Daily use is easy. The screen is sharp and quick to respond, and the watch has a mic and speaker so you can take calls or use your phone’s voice assistant when your phone is nearby. You can also put music on the watch from Spotify, Amazon Music, or Deezer and leave your phone at home for runs or walks.
Health features are where Garmin does its thing. You get a Sleep Coach and actual nap detection, plus HRV tracked overnight, and a Morning Report that gives you a simple summary when you wake up. Body Battery now explains what drained or recharged you across the day, like workouts, stress, and naps, which makes the data feel useful not just pretty.
For workouts, it is classic Garmin. GPS and heart rate performance are solid for a lifestyle watch, and it supports multi GNSS so lock on is quick and reliable. You also get helpful touches like Recovery Time and Workout Benefit after sessions, and you can build intervals right on the watch if you want a little structure. If you are into cycling, it can pair with power meters or a smart trainer so you are not locked out of nerdy data.
I love that Garmin added wheelchair mode. It tracks pushes instead of steps, adds wheelchair specific workouts, and includes weight shift reminders, which shows real effort went into making it meaningful.
The basics are covered too. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so showers and pool sessions are fair game. Garmin Pay works for quick tap to pay moments when you forgot your wallet on the kitchen counter. The small size is actually great for sleep tracking because it is not a brick on your wrist.
Stuff to know. The launch price was 449.99 dollars, so it is not in the budget tracker club. If you want deep training metrics or a giant app store, this is not an Apple Watch or a high end Forerunner and that is by design.
Who should buy it. Anyone who wants a good looking, comfortable smartwatch that kills on battery life and nails the health and sleep basics without a lot of fuss. It is perfect if you want Garmin accuracy and helpful recovery insights in a small, do everything daily driver that you do not have to babysit.
Bottom line. The Venu 3S takes the stress out of wearing a smartwatch because it lasts, it is comfortable, and it actually helps you plan your day a bit with sleep and recovery info. If that is your vibe, this one is easy to recommend.

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!

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

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 :)

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.

Started running more and switched from my apple watch to a Garmin Venu 3. This is perfect for someone serious in running and focused on fitness but still wanting other features like notifications for text messages and calls! So far I am loving this watch more than my apple watch!

First Garmin watch and this will not be my last Garmin product. Enjoy the sleep score aspect, battery life, and the accuracy of my steps/workouts. Love it for a lifestyle watch/everyday use.
