Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

This is the best watch. I came from an apple watch that I had to charge twice a day. There is absolutely no comparison, this is SO much better. I love tracking my sleep and seeing what my body battery is throughout the day.

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.

For the past 5 years I have been an Apple Watch gal, always thought “this is fine, it works”. I didn’t love it, but it worked. I heard at work about the Garmin Venu 3s and all its perks. My coworkers were saying they actually love it. That day after work, I went and bought one. Nearly two months in, and I love my watch. It has everything you’d ever need, battery lasts 8-10 days easily, and it’s so customizable to everyone’s likes, needs and wants that there will never be two of the same. Don’t just settle with “this is fine, it works”, switch to “I love it”.

Best Buy madecthe purchase easy and fast. The watch is stylish and Garmin smart. I bought this for my wife who runs everyday and is tired of having to remember to charge her Apple watch everyday. This garmin will go a week on a single charge, makes travel/vacation much simpler. It helps her keep tract of her activies, scores her sleep quality, displays notifications from texts and emails. She can even answer her phone remotely. She doesn't miss her Apple watch. The only downside is as expect, there is a learning curve when changing technologies. Youtube provides a lot of help.

Such a wonderful upgrade from apple watch. The watch itself is light and look professional. The watch face is easy to edit to how you want to see things. The app is also great and shows great statistics!

Bought this as a gift for an avid runner. They love the watch and its features. It really aids in training. Battery life is good.

I have had an Apple Watch since they first came out but I really wanted to know how my sleep was and other metrics that weren't on the Apple Watch...not to mention that I had to charge it every night. I decided to try this Garmin Venu 3s and have been over the moon. I think it is the perfect watch! I will never go back to apple now! (only thing I am not thrilled about is that I paid full price and today it is $100 off....I bought it a one month ago!)

I switched from apple to this garmin venu 3 and it has been the best decision ever. I love how accurately it tracks everything!

This is a fantastic smartwatch, it does so many things. I wish it came with more instructions. I have been able to download a manual and watched youtube. I was worried it would feel heavy since its larger but I barely notice it, Good purchase

I bought the Garmin Venu 3 for its consistent stress monitoring, and it’s been a game-changer! The stress tracking is accurate and provides real-time insights, helping me manage triggers and practice mindfulness with built-in breathing exercises. The battery life is excellent, lasting nearly a week on a single charge, and features like sleep tracking, Body Battery, and fitness stats are detailed and motivating. Plus, the sleek design and vibrant AMOLED display make it perfect for all-day wear. If you want a smartwatch that prioritizes wellness and accuracy, the Venu 3 is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

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

The watch is very cute, it have great battery and it’s very light

Amazing, does everything I need it to do. Still navigating it but liked how it tried to connect to an exercise machine to gather the data.

I purchased this watch as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She originally wanted an apple watch but after researching this watch, I found this will give you more bang for your buck. And my daughter absolutely loves her watch! First the battery last a minimum of 5 days and charges fast. It has so many apps for an active life style. My daughter is always working out and she loves that her watch notifies her on how many hours she needs to rest for all the workouts she's done.

I love this watch. I can edit the home screen, I can see it outside! And I do not have to charge it every night. You can keep the appl watch because to me it doesn't compare. Emergency features are nice. I'm over 60 and it was easy for me to set up. I'm tech savvy but even for someone who is not, the initial setup and pairing was simple. I'm still learning all the features. I have a very small wrist just over 5.5" around and it works for me. You can turn your wrist and the time will appear. I can say bye bye to my fitbit. So far answering the phone is a little odd but I don't think I can report on that yet because I am not sure how close you have to be to your phone. I won't comment on durability yet because I don't know that.
