    Received this watch today, paring it to my phone? Download Garmin Connect. Need to download apps or faces to the watch? Download Garmin Express (yes, the windows GPS software). Want to message people without using your phone and just the watch? Download Garmin Messenger. Not received messages from people? Make sure they also download Garmin messenger for it to work. Oh, downloading the Spotify app onto your watch wont mean you'll listen to all your playlists. Use the 'music' option and first listen on your phone. I had so many issues with this entire setup, I'm returning the watch and probably getting a Samsung Watch..

    Leaves rash, Garmin won't do anything but a buy back that takes 4-6 weeks. Won't offer a new band replacement or a swap. It's the customers fault all their watch bands leave rashes and should be used for a watch band. Garmin just makes a list of excuses as to why. Basically the watch needs to barley touch your skin and be beyond loose where it just spins around on your wrist, then they suggest cleaning it every day all day with a alcohol q tip, when you exercise in it, sleep in it, every hour before germs built up behind it. Like c'mon with this crap, send everyone a fabric band and a silicone one. Obviously everyone has an issue with the silicone ones....

      I apologize but you can request a nylon band, however, nylon can also cause a skin irritation if the fit and cleaning guidelines on the website are not followed. Garmin

    This was supposed to be delivered to my place, but it never made it to my door and I was somehow at fault and wasn’t even issued a replacement or a chance to get a replacement. even though a police report was created and trying to work with the support team. basically was scammed out of $427

    I purchased this watch for the sleep tracking capabilities, however, they have been inaccurate and sub-par. Tried to return the watch and was on customer service for over an hour, only to be told that they wouldn't return it. Extremely disappointed in Best Buy!!!! Will never purchase from them again!

    Consider the Venu 3 over the Venu 3s

    When I bought the Garmin Venu 3s, I assumed it was a smaller version of Venu 3, but it was basically the same watch. Now I find out it is missing the ECG app. What else is it missing? Venu 3s has less features than Venu 3. Why are they priced the same, it should be less (battery life, less Apps). If I was to buy again, I would by Venu 3... it's not that much bigger than the Venu 3s.

      The Venu 3 and Venu 3S both to ECG. If you need assistance, please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and videos on the functions of the device. If you need further assistance you can reach out to a product support associate from that link. Garmin
