    A beautiful watch with Garmin’s most up to date features. The bezel has a stunning appearance, the screen is bright with brilliant resolution and it comes in 2 sizes for fitment preferences. 5 stars for Garmin’s flagship smartwatch. There are so many options from Garmin these days that it really depends on who you are and what you do. Unlike the completion that makes you pretty much conform to their products. I have had the VivoActive3 and Fenix Series and they each served a great purpose (VivoActive was an affordable activity tracker smartwatch, Fenix is an amazingly durable everything smartwatch with long battery life and this is a classy everyday smartwatch with activity tracking and updates biometric tracking). Garmin really is the most innovative smartwatch maker and most accurate tracker.

    Great looking watch and does a great job tracking my works and sleep patterns. I can also use it to make and answer phone calls. It can also do my EKG. Still finding out new features I didn’t know it came with. Battery life is not bad, last 5-7 days.

    I've had my watch now for at least a month, and I'm very happy with it. I upgraded from the Venu Sq and had good success with that watch for 4+ years. I love that the screen for the Venu 3S seems very durable despite daily use. I've not seen a single scratch on it. I love the size of the face and the features of the watch. The band size is also perfect. I think the feature upgrade from my last Venu series is phenomenal.

    This watch is amazing! I would highly recommend. I switched over to garmin from Apple and I’m glad I made the switch. This watch has been amazing to me. I am still learning new things every day. The charge it keeps is also amazing! I’ve only charged it one time since I got it in nov.

    Love the 7 day battery life! It’s also a beautiful, stylish design. One thing I would love to have is EKG abilities on this device. A big negative is that it doesn’t automatically detect when you start and stop an activity. You have to do it manually and so I sometimes will be recording activities that I finished a day ago.

    lightweight, good size for a small wrist, moving over from a Samsung galaxy active 2. it was easier to see notifications on that watch, taking a little time to adjust and figure out the garmin platform. seems durable so far after about a month of use

    Works great. One week charge. Lots of great features. No issues. I have also hit the watch many times in passing things due to not being used to wearing one. It has not even chipped yet.

    Great watch but returning as an iPhone user. You can’t respond to messages or answer calls. Only know they’re coming in. Also doesn’t send stills of ring camera. Solid company and product, but I’m sticking with the Apple Watch

    You know, I thought it was a tad smallish at 41mm, and it is. BUT, it is such a beautiful and elegant watch that the size is tolerable. The light gold finish is incredible, the full glass with the hairline bezel is a perfect match, and the coordinated band finishes it all off very nicely.

    Aside from it looking so nice and polished on your wrist, it really does a great job at monitoring your sleep, heart rate and workouts. Not surprising, Garmin really is the leader in this space. If you're not looking to reply to iphone texts, this is superior in every way to an Apple Watch
