Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had this watch for over a year now. As an apple person, I had maybe 3/4 iwatches before getting this one. I will say garmin is an active/workout peoples watch. Ive turned off notifications. It is amazing and I do love it! The only downside is not many friends have them, so we cant share activity. I find it is more accurate when calculating burned calories, and steps. another good thing is the battery life! All in all I will be keeping this one for a long time :)

I got this as gift to my wife Birthday. She likes it and uses mostly for crossfit workouts. - Battery life is pretty good, it last for about 12-14 days - Display is good for wrist size - Answer calls via watch.

I've been using the Garmin Venu 3S for about two months now and I'm really impressed with what it offers, especially when it comes to fitness and sleep tracking. The health metrics feel incredibly accurate, and I love how detailed the sleep insights are. It's motivating and easy to use, which helps me stay consistent with my fitness goals. The heart rate monitoring is also solid, and I appreciate the overall layout and design of the interface. The only small downside I've noticed is that the iPhone compatibility isn't quite as seamless as with an Apple Watch (especially texts and calls), but it's really not a dealbreaker for me, especially considering how much more health-focused data the Garmin provides.

I had a galaxy watch before this and decided to test this one out because i was tired of having to charge my watch every day. I had high expectations for this Garmin and it exceeded my expectations. I love that it is small and fits my wrist well, while also having great battery life.

I love my watch! The only annoying thing for me is that I have to have my phone nearby or my watch won’t connect? I’m not sure if I would still be able to track everything and use it without having to manually add it later. Other than that I love it and it has been working wonderfully for me. I did get it wet a few times and I read somewhere that you’re not supposed to press the buttons when it’s submerged in water but I did a few times and it’s still fine. Moving forward I will not be getting it submerged just in case. I have banged it a few times and so far no scratches! Definitely going to get a screen protector just in case. The first few weeks of having the watch it kept asking me to update when I did update as much as possible but that issue has passed for now. The battery lasted over a full week the first week I used it then I noticed it dying quicker and quicker, so far it last about 5 days for me but I am also very active and using it a lot more than most people. When my stress is low I can easily charge once a week.

Switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Venu S3 after getting into running—best decision I’ve made! The battery life is incredible, letting me wear it 24/7 for accurate sleep tracking, recovery data, and workouts. I love customizing my run screens, and the Garmin Connect app is super easy to use. It doesn’t fully integrate with Apple’s Activity rings, but it does sync steps. Surprisingly, I don’t miss replying to texts from my wrist—it’s nice to read them and respond later. Bottom line: Fantastic watch for anyone looking for deeper health and activity insights.

great watch ,, very accurate on every metric, light weight, and it doesnt loooks like a sport watch.

Such an upgrade from an Apple Watch. I love how much tracking this watch does. Love that the garmin store has really cool watch faces. Awesome budget friendly watch. The battery life is insane! With daily use (not taking it off) a single charge lasts me from 7-10 days depending on how much I use it.

Overall its a good buy that I got to upgrade from my Amazfit Bip 5. The price point between the two watches is significant (like $80 to $350) so I thought this watch would knock my socks off--but it's just okay. A big downfall is that it doesn't auto-track activity very quickly or well--like going for a walk it starts late and doesn't auto-shut off when your actions stop. The Amazfit was a lot smarter, started and stopped on point. The Garmin is more attractive, although I don't like most of the free face options. The app is over done with badges and challenges and junk....I just want my stats complete and ready at a glance its a bit trying. It also doesn't seem to track sleep well enough to not go off when you're sleeping. The manual isn't a joy to cover, nor is working on the settings. It does a lot of things for strength training, but programing that is a pain or not intuitive AND it auto counts reps horribly. The battery is great--but the Amazit had a great battery life too. I like this watch, but its over-priced.

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!

Best Buy madecthe purchase easy and fast. The watch is stylish and Garmin smart. I bought this for my wife who runs everyday and is tired of having to remember to charge her Apple watch everyday. This garmin will go a week on a single charge, makes travel/vacation much simpler. It helps her keep tract of her activies, scores her sleep quality, displays notifications from texts and emails. She can even answer her phone remotely. She doesn't miss her Apple watch. The only downside is as expect, there is a learning curve when changing technologies. Youtube provides a lot of help.

For the past 5 years I have been an Apple Watch gal, always thought “this is fine, it works”. I didn’t love it, but it worked. I heard at work about the Garmin Venu 3s and all its perks. My coworkers were saying they actually love it. That day after work, I went and bought one. Nearly two months in, and I love my watch. It has everything you’d ever need, battery lasts 8-10 days easily, and it’s so customizable to everyone’s likes, needs and wants that there will never be two of the same. Don’t just settle with “this is fine, it works”, switch to “I love it”.

Such a wonderful upgrade from apple watch. The watch itself is light and look professional. The watch face is easy to edit to how you want to see things. The app is also great and shows great statistics!

This is the best watch. I came from an apple watch that I had to charge twice a day. There is absolutely no comparison, this is SO much better. I love tracking my sleep and seeing what my body battery is throughout the day.

Bought this as a gift for an avid runner. They love the watch and its features. It really aids in training. Battery life is good.

This is a fantastic smartwatch, it does so many things. I wish it came with more instructions. I have been able to download a manual and watched youtube. I was worried it would feel heavy since its larger but I barely notice it, Good purchase

This watch is great. The battery life is long, went for a week without charging. The interface is simple to use, but still getting adjusted to it from others. Very accurate on runs

I bought the Garmin Venu 3 for its consistent stress monitoring, and it’s been a game-changer! The stress tracking is accurate and provides real-time insights, helping me manage triggers and practice mindfulness with built-in breathing exercises. The battery life is excellent, lasting nearly a week on a single charge, and features like sleep tracking, Body Battery, and fitness stats are detailed and motivating. Plus, the sleek design and vibrant AMOLED display make it perfect for all-day wear. If you want a smartwatch that prioritizes wellness and accuracy, the Venu 3 is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

I switched from apple to this garmin venu 3 and it has been the best decision ever. I love how accurately it tracks everything!

I have had an Apple Watch since they first came out but I really wanted to know how my sleep was and other metrics that weren't on the Apple Watch...not to mention that I had to charge it every night. I decided to try this Garmin Venu 3s and have been over the moon. I think it is the perfect watch! I will never go back to apple now! (only thing I am not thrilled about is that I paid full price and today it is $100 off....I bought it a one month ago!)
