Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the large display . The unit gives all kinds of information I was expecting and some information that surprised me. This is a very nice product and worth every penny spent.

Love this Samsung Galaxy watch sinks flawlessly with the Flip3 5G, way better than the hideous Apple watches, watches are meant to be circular.

I am a runner. This watch is way better than my Samsung Active 2 watch for running. This watch is lighter weight. This watch holds a battery life for much longer. Also, the Garmin connect analysis will show much more insight into your run. This watch's GPS is also way better than the active 2. At first I had trouble with downloading my music but eventually I got it to upload and I am listening to music now. Make sure your headphones have a volume feature on them its way more handy that way.

I bought this watch to replace my worn out Polar M400. I like that this watch does not require a heart strap to measure pulse (and seems to be accurate). The display is bright and for me the watch will last about 3.5 days before recharging is necessary. Unless you are familiar with Garmin, this watch takes a little while to understand the features (I'm still working on this!).

Good durable smart watch for activity based users. The screen looks significantly sharper than the Vivoactive 2 and 3 and I like that it feels light on my wrist. The only con I would say is the battery life lasts only around 3 days, but that is pretty standard for smart watches. Overall, no real complaints.

Battery life is excellent and It has been very accurate. I prefer this over the Apple Watch and I have a MacBook Pro and iPhone.

I bought this watch for my wife and she loves it. She uses it practically everyday, for messages and tracking her steps.

I wanted a watch that had good fitness tracking and would notify me when I got text messages and emails, and this watch does that. Pros The GPS is reasonably accurate. It is much better than my old Fitbit Ionic. It is a solid watch. With all of that glass, I did put a screen protector on it. As a first attempt at an OLED watch, Garmin did a decent job. The screen is very bright and I have absolutely no problem seeing it, even in bright, direct sunlight. It's stylish. It's a bit on the bulky side, but it does look good. It fits decently, even on my more slender wrist. The battery life is reasonably good. No complaints with it. Charging is easy. The Fitbit Ionic that I had before this had a magnetic charger that got worse with time. The charging cable for the Venu plugs in with a satisfying and solid click. I like the touch screen. Some might not. It is better than having to press buttons for every single thing. Cons Whenever Garmin updates firmware, they generally break more than they fix. And I thought that Fitbit was bad with updates. Fibit makes Garmin look like total clowns on the software side. Watch is slow to wake when turning my wrist. This is a very common complaint. It's not a problem with the default watch faces, but most people, myself included, think that their stock watch faces are pretty bad. Setup and menus are amazingly terrible. It is difficult to tell what's only on the watch, what's only on the phone, and what's on both. The manual can be downloaded from Garmin. Keep a copy of it handy because you'll need it many times. Even though this watch is OLED, it has the exact same screens and menus as their transreflective screen watches like the Vivoactive 4. Garmin does not take advantage of the OLED tech they've included in any way at all. Some third party watch faces do use it. For me, the built in HR sensor has been bad. It is pretty inaccurate at times. If you are seriously into exercise, you can connect a chest strap to it. Definitely do that. It is not a bad fitness watch. It really is one of the better watches I've had. I gave the Fenix a try, but it had too much that I would never use to justify the price. In the end, I settled on this because I will never have another Fitbit watch (Ionic was terrible) and the price point was right for what I needed out of a watch.

I am using it for over a month now and totally happy with this watch. great for all sorts of activities indoor-outdoor etc. music works great on the watch. the battery goes over four days with normal use and charges quite fast. a bit clumsy to understand the setting initially but once you get used to it no problem. the only problem I experienced is having very few watches faces available from Garmin and a third-party watch faces are not compatible with a stay on screen. An overall great fitness watch.

It’s nice looking and I got it to keep track of steps, and a few other things. I’m too dopey to figure out the other features

I have had the Garmin Venu for about a month now and I continue to discover and experiment with what it can do. Prior to this I had, and still use Vivosmart HR, and the Venu not only replicates the Vivosmart's features, but has improved on them. The HR is more accurate and with GPS enabled, the distance covered on foot is more accurate. I have found the Body Battery feature to be informative and is great at encouraging me to gauge how rested I am and how intense my next workout should be. Yesterday I used a guided/animated yoga workout for the first time and I already know that I will be introducing yoga to my routine from now on. The watch band is comfortable, the buttons are easy to press, but the touch screen can have a slight delay. If you're used to a smartphone you will notice this delay right away, but will become accustomed to it. The OLED display is fantastic and that advertised battery life has been spot on! Garmin should really expand the watch faces that are available in IQ though. And please remember, this is a fitness watch first, a smartwatch second. If you're not into fitness, this may not be the watch for you. I am very pleased with this purchase and look forward to trying even more workouts on my Venu. (I still use the Vivosmart for cycling, though. If I go down on my bike I don't want to ruin the Venu).

This is was great gift. My mother in law wanted a garmin watch for a while now and I able to score this on a sale

Got this watch when my samsung watch quit working. Has some similar features.

A great watch. I enjoy the features that track my stress levels. Integrates well with fitness programs.

My son really likes the function of the watch. He likes thebease of the programming and the way he can do all he needs to.

I bought this watch to monitor my heart and oxygen. I does an excellent job in keeping my health history and instant feedback. The watch is much more and the tie to my phone keeps me advised to communications sent to me by providing a visual cue that a transmission has been made. There our other features that I have as yet not enabled with supportive apps.

This is the best smart watch I’ve ever had. Not only does it look nice, it’s comfortable to the point I forget I’m wearing it. It’s easy to sleep in. This watch is easy to use and understand. I use it for my rowing workouts and with two clicks I’m ready to go. It works great with my iPhone 13 pro max. This watch is also easy to read. I can see me having this one for a long time.

The functions and accuracy of the Venu have definitely impressed me. I will not go back to a Fitbit and I have had several equivalent Tidbits with each failing shortly after the warranty expired. A huge advantage of the Venu in my mind is the ability to replace the wrist strap with any standard watch rather than the proprietary expensive Fitbit bands!

Love my new Garmin watch! Had a Fitbit previously, but this tracks your exercise in many more ways. Very happy with it.

long battery life, nice screen, looks sleek, tracks measurements well.
