Customers frequently mention the Venu 3S GPS Smartwatch's excellent battery life and overall performance. Many appreciate its beautiful design, array of features, light weight, accuracy, and comfortable fit, especially for smaller wrists. However, some customers feel that the watch could offer more app options and have experienced issues with sleep tracking. On the other hand, some customers appreciate the ability to send text messages.

    Love this watch. I have always had a Smartwatch but decided to try the Garmin this time. Love that it only has to be charged about every 5-6 days

    So far so good, quality-wise it is 100x better than fitbit. I am not the biggest fan of the OS, though, I think it could be organized better... and I can't find the "find my phone" option which could be really useful. Also, it thinks you nap every time you just sit for a longer period of time. Thats a pain. Overall though, it is a good watch. I am hoping future updates will resolve some of the issues and improve the functionality of the OS. It is a big price ticket, but I think it is worth it for the high quality build. This watch is really solid. I bumped it onna wall on multiple occasions and not a single scratch is visible. Fitbit is a joke compared to this thing :) also, battery life is really the best.

    After switching from another watch brand that I have had for 10+ years, I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a health watch, THIS IS IT! I am so upset that I didn’t get it sooner.

    Fantastic little watch. It's the most feature rich Garmin for it's size. Great battery life. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but it's worth the time of takes.

    Came from Fitbit and I am super happy I switched. All the data (HR, miles, steps) are more accurate on this watch.

    Love this watch! I switched from an apple watch and I'll never go back. The battery life is amazing, I get a solid 10 days out of it and it charges quickly!

    The biggest complaint I have about this watch is that it is very slow to update with phone apps such as weather and location, if it updates at all. For the last two days, it has shown me in another city even after updating manually using the watch app that is on my phone. I’m very disappointed with this watch….should’ve gotten another Apple Watch. The reason I chose this one was what I read about the battery life. It does shine over the Apple Watch in that respect, although if I could trade this watch in for an Apple Watch, I would in a heartbeat. I guess I will just have to wait until this one dies….

    Overall it is a good watch. It doesn’t provide as much detail into the statistics that I would like. It also has trouble syncing to my phone a lot. It’s nice to not have to charge it every single day

    I was an Apple Watch girlie until I was convinced by Tiktok of all things to make the switch and I will never go back. This watch has been so helpful in my ability to lose 20 pounds in 2024. I've had this watch for 3 full months now and can honestly say I am now forever a Garmin girlie!!

    My old watch quit working and my daughter recommended this one for me as she also has a Garmin Venu. I have really enjoyed all the features. I wear it when I do aqua aerobics.
