Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my new Garmin Venu. It has so many great features. The display is amazing. I've yet to try it out for my workouts since I've only had for 3 days. However, I did my research and this has top ratings. I'm satisfied with it.

I am a big fan of Garmin watches and wanted to love this model as much as I do the others that I currently use and have had in the past. It’s screen is as advertised, bright and easy to read in all conditions but as a marathoner, I want my Garmin watches to be ready for a run at all times. Too many mornings I went out for my regular run only to get stuck waiting for the watch to connect to the satellites and in several cases, I had to switch to one of my other watches. I’m not sure if I simply ended up with a bad unit but I did return it.

I’ve had this Garmin a little over a year and I love it! I had to upgrade from my Apple Watch after it shattered, and I expected to get another Apple Watch. However I spend a lot of time weightlifting and wanted a watch that was more effective at tracking my workouts. I would recommend the Garmin Watch to anyone who works out. The user interface isn’t as nice as apple, but it does a lot more and is more reliable for long term use. It’s also waterproof instead of water resistant! Overall would buy again!

Does so much love this watch. Has pulseox battery holds up well. I have pulseox on all the time and does not drain the battery too fast One gripe cannot answer calls which is kind of annoying but not a big complaint

Love the garmin products for my aqua areobics since it is water resitant. This watch has all the features I need. It keeps my steps and heart rate and is stylish too. Just what I needed.

Bought this to replace the for bit which two of those watches broke within two years. My husband loves all the health days in this watch and is way more sturdy

This is the best watch EVER! I was using my iPhone watch and some of the other runners had Garmins. This does absolutely everything I need and more. Highly recommended!

Easy to customize using the garmin app. Very easy to navigate the watch to find the information you are looking for about your performance.

I loved the outside look of the watch but just not how it behaved compared to Samsung Active. Not that it was bad, there were just some perks that i preferred with the Samsung watch.

Watch is easy to set up and sync with my phone. Still learning all the capabilities as there are many features I'm discovering while using. Battery life is about five days and charges overnight.

Love this watch better than my Apple watch. Monitors heart rate swimming biking and running I charge it about every five days versus my Apple Watch that would have to be on the charger nightly.

Wife loves it. Saved a lot of money over an Apple Watch and it still does what she bought it for... to help her track her fitness goals

love this watch. I am a fitness guru and this has helped me get to the next level, always used fitbit but this was a better fit for me.

I witch apple can make a watch with all those features. And that long battery life. But Garmin missing the basics: Text and phone call. Nobody wants plastic of anything.

Love the Garmin Venu, my husband both got these in different color ways. Product is amazing, price tag is steep, but you do get what you pay for ;)

I retired my fenix 3 for the venu. Very small and light compared to the fenix. Good graphics and colors. GPS connects quickly. It does all the great things you need from a run watch. The music connection works well with bluetooth headsets and you're able to use other music apps. There are some minor annoyances: the always on feature doesn't work with downloaded watch faces; the watch needs to be connect to garmin connect via the computer so that the gps remains fast; wish it had the wireless charging like the iWatch; there are no audible alerts (only alerted through vibrations). Overall, very cool watch.

Really one of the best running / fitness watches I have owned. Incredible battery life. Screen is a little unresponsive when trying to change watch faces.

Battery life lasts several days, screen is sharp and colorful, fitness tracking seems accurate, and Garmin Pay works in most stores that accept mobile payments.

This is a good watch with activity tracking features. I like the GPS capability for outside events. Not super convenient for notifications and phone / music controls.

Overall, I am really pleased with this device. I had a Vivoactive 3. The metrics that this watch provides is extremely helpful (I am a data nerd). I also like the vivid screen. Initial set up was a nightmare, however. It seems that the phone was preloaded to add Spotify and another app to the watch. This was preventing me from being able to download the watch face I wanted in Connect IQ. Literally, it took 6 hours for my watch to properly set up. I have pretty decent wifi, so I can only guess it was the large apps that slowed down the process. When I had my Vivoactive 3, it took less than 5 minutes.
