    Returned as this watch was to assist with a recent medical diagnosis. Turned out an option by the Epilepsy Foundation was more in tune with our needs. I would have kept this but had to decide between the two watches. No fault of Garmin, just needed more specialized to my daughter’s medical condition.

    Battery Drain

    I purchased the Garmin Venu 3S watch back in August 2024. I waited to write a review because whenever I buy a new product, it's always a fabulous purchase at first. You need to give purchases, especially tech, some time. Well, here we are over a year later and I'm disappointed. It's a great watch, don't get me wrong, but somewhere about 8 months ago, the battery level just disintegrated so much that I'm charging it every 2-3 days. When I first got the watch, the battery lasted over a week. I did nothing different to the watch since I first got it so I have no clue why the battery drain occurred. Forget Samsung Customer Service. Like many companies, you have to research on your own via "the community" and I have lost patience for this nonsense. All in all, even though the watch features are excellent, I would not recommend the Venu 3S. Getting that "low battery" notice on your watch when you are out with nowhere to charge the watch is frustrating and not fun.

    Bought this watch for my wife, she loves it. You can customize the watch screen with your own photos. It has great app features like monitoring sleep, heart rate, steps etc. All great tools. It's stylish looking, the only flaw is there isn't different sized watch bands to interchange with.

    The biggest complaint I have about this watch is that it is very slow to update with phone apps such as weather and location, if it updates at all. For the last two days, it has shown me in another city even after updating manually using the watch app that is on my phone. I’m very disappointed with this watch….should’ve gotten another Apple Watch. The reason I chose this one was what I read about the battery life. It does shine over the Apple Watch in that respect, although if I could trade this watch in for an Apple Watch, I would in a heartbeat. I guess I will just have to wait until this one dies….

    I love this watch! I love the way it looks and the health insights it gives me. I got it to track runs and overall health, and it’s been great so far. Definitely love it more than my Apple Watch!

    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!
