Love this watch. Great color and has a nice slim fit.

This should be a great watch, but there's too many bugs that haven't been fixed for me to recommend this over the Venu 2 Plus, which is now much cheaper. The first major bug took from October to March to fix, which was the watch freezing multiple times a day. They haven't fixed the watch randomly going to different screens as well as the battery saver function randomly turning on. The GPS tracking is worse than my VivoActive 4, as the 3 has me going less distance comparatively speaking and with Google Maps as a reference. There isn't enough customization for data on your watch faces.
Would like to also see Garmin as a whole provide better support for their products. They don't add any new features and basically expect you to buy a new watch to get them, even if the hardware is capable.
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with your Venu 3S. Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device. If you still need assistance you can reach out to a product support associate from that link.

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.

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!

I'm very happy with how well my new Garmin Venu 3s operates. It is very easy to use. I'm used to a Fitbit Sense where the battery life was horrible. My Venu 3s has a long battery life.

I have had a fitbit for many years but I believe Google is ending the product line. I needed a new smartwatch and chose to go with the Garmin Venu 3S. I have been very happy with my Venu so far.

I love my Garmin. I love the recovery data that it covers, I love that I can go 5-7 days without having to charge my watch, I love that I can wear it to bed. I was really looking for something to track my runs better and this watch exceed my expectations!

I love my new Garmin watch! I like being able to know how my sleep performance was and how many steps I take everyday. It has been very beneficial for my overall heath and wellbeing.
