    I love this watch so much! I had a massive tan line after the summer because I never take it off. I got this to keep track of my steps. Track my sleep. It’s end up being so much more. It’s been accurate on my stress levels and keeps me motivated. I’ve had an Apple Watch and Samsung but this is my favorite. Oh and the battery life is crazy atleast a week before having to charge it but usually more.

    I went back and forth when choosing a watch and my biggest concerns were size of watch that could look nice during work and stand the durability when I worked out. I also wanted an excellent tracker for my health and sleep and one that could notify me without caring my phone all day. All the checkboxes!

    Love my Garmin so much more than my Apple Watch. If you want to focus on your fitness goals more than your notifications, get a Garmin. This one is the most like a smart watch, and for that reason it was my intro into the Garmin world. I do think in the future, I will probably get one of them more advanced Garmins that allow for more athletic reports and a more analog interface. You can customize this watch to do more or less of what you do or do not want it to do, where is with Apple products you are stuck with the interface they have you using. I’m so glad I made the switch. (I have owned it for almost 2 years)

    After doing research on fitness watches I decided to purchase the Garmin-Venu 3S GPS Smartwatch. It didn't disappoint. It was so easy to set up and operate from the beginning. It paired with my phone with ease. I was looking for a watch that would have a long-lasting battery, and I have found it to be as they advertised. I'm thrilled with my new watch! Thank you, Garmin, for making a quality product!

    I finally made the switch from the Apple Watch to the Garmin watch and I couldn’t be happier. The Garmin give so many details the Apple Watch didn’t offer. The battery life is amazing and don’t have to worry about it dying mid workout. The venue 3s fit me better as it is smaller.

    Honestly, since I’ve started half marathon training this year, I was in the market to switching from apple but I haven’t even looked back after 3 weeks on wearing it 24/7. I had a garmin 955 a few years ago and only switched due to replying to texts but I don’t find that I miss it that much. I’d say if you’ve been having your eye on switching to garmin… just do it! Especially if you taking health and fitness serious!

    I had a Fitbit many years ago and enjoyed it but this is an awesome fitness watch! I don’t think I’ve reached its full potential because sometimes the experience on the app is not quite what I’d like it to be. One feature I thought was amazing was for a strength workout it can pretty accurately determine what exercise you’re doing without you imputing it. No that feature isn’t perfect but I wasn’t expecting that feature at all so that’s very cool. I picked this watch over some other garmin models because of the look and temperature sensor but it only tells you if your temp increases or decreases during sleep as far as I know. I thought it would be able to give you a body temperature number at any time not just if it increased .5 degrees while sleeping. I did get it for $100 off full price so for that price it does feel worth it to me! Excellent battery life. I maybe charge it once a week and it charges fast!

    LOVE THIS WATCH!! It truly does the same thing an Apple Watch does minus being able to respond to text. I can still ping my phone, receive text and other notifications. I think it does a better job with workouts and walking tracking. The battery life lasts like 3-4 days before you have to charge it again where with my Apple Watch I was charging it everyday.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I've used the Apple watch for years and the Google watch and Samsung Smart watches. None of them are as good as this watch. Its beautiful and has great function. The battery lasts me at least 6 days. I wished i had bought this a long time ago

    Absolutely love!!! Went from Apple to Garmin and although I didn’t have some features from the Apple the battery life was well worth it. To me more accurate and got 2 weeks before having to charge. Loved it so much I got both sizes

    Already has an old apple watch that I could have just upgraded to another apple watch but decided to get Garmin instead. My intended use was for health reasons especially monitoring my heart rate. Was debating between garmin and google. Very gappy with my choice. Very comfortable to wear at all times. The battery is excellent. Aesthetically pleasing. For me overall is a 5!
