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.

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.

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”.

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.

The battery life is fantastic, and I love the sleep score as well as the body battery. I can wear it a week without needing a charge. Only thing I don’t like is there is not treadmill walking workout so it doesn’t count the miles correctly

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!

The bad: you have to manage multiple apps. You must download an app even on a computer in order to purchase or download certain features or items. It’s incredibly frustrating when a product is so close to excellence but fails to deliver in some of the simplest ways.
The good: basically everything else. Fantastic value. Everything works and it works well. Bang for your buck compared to say the fenix is clear.
Basically? This is a great purchase that just is frustrating to set up because you have to download connect. Then connectIQ. Then connect express….. you very quickly realize this could be done simpler/better/easier and is a head scratcher on why this was overly complicated.

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

Amazing product! I was a "ride or die" for Apple Watch for years. Used it everyday but I always thought it looked ugly. I wanted an option that looked more like a regular watch but still tracked steps and many health components. After watching a few videos, I decided to buy! This was the BEST decision ever. It tracks EVERYTHING. I am by no means a "Fitness Guru" but it is very helpful to get all of the health insights plus it looks sleek and modern. The color is also beautiful and it's nice enough that I can wear to work or a nicer place without it clashing with my clothing or jewelry. Highly Reccomend!

First Garmin watch and this will not be my last Garmin product. Enjoy the sleep score aspect, battery life, and the accuracy of my steps/workouts. Love it for a lifestyle watch/everyday use.

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!

Amazing, does everything I need it to do. Still navigating it but liked how it tried to connect to an exercise machine to gather the data.

I purchased this watch as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She originally wanted an apple watch but after researching this watch, I found this will give you more bang for your buck. And my daughter absolutely loves her watch! First the battery last a minimum of 5 days and charges fast. It has so many apps for an active life style. My daughter is always working out and she loves that her watch notifies her on how many hours she needs to rest for all the workouts she's done.

Bought this for my mom's 60th birthday, total success. She loved it and can't stop commenting how much she loves it and how much healthier she is now. Stylish design and heavy duty build. Being able to change straps for different looks is also great. Highly recommend!
