    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!

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

    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.

    Excellent Smartwatch for Health, Fitness, and Ever

    The Garmin Venu 3S (41 mm) is an outstanding smartwatch that strikes a near-perfect balance between advanced health tracking, fitness performance, and elegant everyday design. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller wrists without sacrificing functionality or screen quality. The AMOLED display is bright, crisp, and easy to read in all lighting conditions, while the stainless steel bezel and fiber-reinforced polymer case give it a premium look that works just as well in the gym as it does in professional or casual settings. The French Gray color is subtle, modern, and very versatile. From a performance standpoint, Garmin truly excels. The health tracking features are exceptional—heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking with nap detection, HRV status, stress tracking, and body battery insights all work seamlessly and provide meaningful, actionable data. The GPS accuracy is excellent for outdoor activities, including running, walking, and cycling. Battery life is another major advantage. Unlike many smartwatches that require daily charging, the Venu 3S lasts several days on a single charge, even with regular activity tracking and notifications enabled. The smartwatch also integrates well with daily life through smart notifications, music storage, and Garmin Pay, making it practical beyond fitness use. While it doesn’t aim to replace a full smartwatch phone experience, it excels at what it’s designed to do: health, wellness, and fitness tracking with reliability and precision.

    Worth it

    I love my Venu 3. It's the perfect size and happens to be my favorite color. While it does all the things I need it to do, there are some functions other Garmins have that I wish was included with this one. The glass is STURDY! I had an Apple watch prior to this and on day 1 of having it, cracked the screen. I've had this one now for over two years and have hit it so many times and the glass still looks brand new. The charge really depends on how much you're using the additional functions (Not just as a watch) but I can typically get a week out of one charge. I have an Apple phone and am able to see my texts when they come through and also see that I'm getting calls but am not able to respond via the watch. That is probably the only thing I miss about having and Apple watch. The only thing the bothers me about the watch is that the little thing that holds the tail of the watch isn't stationary. It never stayed on and I was constantly pushing it back down and putting the tail back it. The original one broke within a year but I was able to purchase some generic replacements on Amazon. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would highly recomend it.

    This is very comfortable and gives me accurate readings. It showed my heart rate went up during the loss of a family member. It is great to track steps, heart rate, etc. It is also very classy looking as well. The battery life is way better than the Apple watch that wouldn't even last the whole day. I can go almost a week with this and not charge it.

    This watch is light weight and battery lasts for daysssss. It’s flexible and the band has many holes so it adjusts really well to your wrist. Set up takes a while but once it’s done it works quickly. Charges super quick too. I love it for my running journeys

    I absolutely love my Garmin Venu 3S! It’s lightweight, super comfortable, and the screen looks amazing. The health tracking features are what sold me — the Body Battery, sleep coach, and stress tracking have actually helped me understand my routines better. I also use it for workouts, and it tracks everything accurately without feeling bulky on my wrist. The battery lasts days, and being able to take calls and reply to texts from my wrist is so convenient. Overall, it’s the perfect everyday smartwatch for anyone who wants fitness + lifestyle in one device. Highly recommend!
