Looks amazing, I swapped this out with the standard Garmin Venu 3, its a little smaller but a little less bulky

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!

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!

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.

Beautiful and does everything I want, I am an iPhone user and this watch is super compatible. Prefer it over the Apple Watch sleek design and accuracy.

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.

Garmin Watch – A Stylish Shift from Apple Watch

I was hesitant to switch after being a longtime Apple Watch user, but I wanted something that looked more polished and less like the standard tech wearable. This Garmin watch exceeded my expectations in terms of design—it pairs well with business attire and feels like a true timepiece rather than a gadget.
The features are impressive, and I’m still exploring everything it has to offer. It’s great for fitness tracking and daily activity monitoring, and the battery life is a major plus.
However, the main drawback for me as an iPhone user is the limited text functionality. While I can receive calls, I can’t read or respond to texts, which is a bit inconvenient. Because of that, I still keep my Apple Watch as a backup when I know I’ll need full phone integration.
Overall:
This Garmin watch is a sleek and functional alternative to the Apple Watch, especially if you’re looking for a more refined, professional look. It balances style with substance and offers a refreshing change—just be mindful of the iPhone compatibility limitations when it comes to messaging.

I had been alternating between my two Apple watches. Each one would only last a day on a full charge. I decided to try the Garmin Venu 3s since it was on sale and HOLY MOLY!!! It does not pay to be loyal to Apple. I am on the 4th day of wearing my watch using it for sleep tracking, workout, calls, and the battery and it is just now at 50%. It is extremely lightweight. I was concerned about it at first but I cant even tell it is on. I love the color, too. Im a fan!

i fell in love with the style of this watch. stainless steel and the color too. i'm really impressed how it can measure my heart rate and speed accurately. i have a small wrist and this watch is just perfect! i don't need to charge for about 5 days considering that i have a very active lifestyle.
