Venu watch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the color scheme. Watch fits comfortably, heart rate monitor sticks out but you don't notice it. Set up is a bit confusing but app walks through set up. App syncs smoothly and battery lasts me 5-6 days (with Bluetooth to phone disconnected) 3 days with phone connection. Watch activity struggles to measure treadmill but great outdoors on bike, walk, and runs. Would highly recommend to others.

Great Features on watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the watch. I had to watch you tube to set it up. I could not have done it without you tube. The instructions need to be better if you are not computer savvy. I like the pulse ox. I think Garmin needs to develop their own food tracking system. I do not like the ones that were compatible with this watch. Price was a little high.

Simple and gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid health tracker and sport watch. I switched over from having an Apple Watch (S5) for two years to this watch. Main benefits are few distractions from the Garmin, but maintaining the colorful OLED screen. Also, it helps that it doesn't look like a cookie cutter square watch... Oh yeah, battery life is night and day compared to AW.

Suburb watch for fitness
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Garmin S62 for golf and fitness. My wife does not golf so I talked her into trying the Venu. She and I are really into fitness and she is very happy with this watch. You can track so many different things that are fitness related (it also does golf but thats not its main purpose like the S62). My wife actually thanks me for talking her into buying this watch!!

Upgrade from Vivoactive 3
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as an upgrade from the Vivoactive 3. It's about the same size, just a tiny bit thicker (but only noticeable when you compare them side by side). After using it for about 6 weeks, I feel the upgrade was definitely worth it - although, I got it with a Black Friday discount. The higher resolution screen, battery life, and improved heart rate accuracy are great.

Great Beginners Running watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It would have been cool if they had suggested Run like the Runner 45 Outside of that the watch is great. Good battery life around 3-5 days with a run logged each day High quality screen Good GPS tracking for treadmill and outdoor runs Very little to complain about here.

True Garmin Fashion.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my husband. He loves it. He uses it everyday. He appears to like it more than his Apple Watch. He says it works great with his phone regarding notifications as well as text messages. This was a great purchase and gift. The screen dims or you can make the screen darken. The screen can be set to wake when you raise arm. Garmin does it again.

Highly Recommended
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In love with this watch. I wear it every day. Keeps me motivated to be active and hydrate. Gives personalized data, and even shows me on the watch how to do workouts. Lets me customize the display if I want to. Lots of cool additional features. Can be synced onto Strava and multiple other Web-based applications. Would highly recommend.

Great overall activity tracker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does everything I want it to do and more! The fit and ease of use are great. No problems scrolling through screens. Like the fact you can customize the watch face as well as the connected apps. Also great on the gold course with downloadable courses. Didn’t want a square face and didn’t need it to reply to or answer the phone for me.

Love this Garmin!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m loving this Garmin! I have been a long-time Fitbit user and recently converted to the Garmin Venu! What an upgrade- I love all of the features that the Venu offers! I am an runner and find this watch easy to use and easy to read the watch face while I’m out running. I have already recommended this watch to another running friend.

Great Smartwatch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I was looking for in a activity tracker/smartwatch. Tracks steps, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, sleep quality and more. Also displays text messages and notifications. Battery capacity lasts 4/5 days for me.

Great Smart Watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned the latest Apple Watch because it needed charging every 18 hours. "I ain't got no time for that!" is what came to my mind. Recharge it every week+ and the information gathered is useful. I can connect via Blue Tooth and catch up on multiple day's worth of info. Cannot go wrong here.

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced a Vivaoactive 3 with this Ven as the battery life was degraded. Very happy with the Venu. HR monitor and apps work great and display is bright and crisp. Accurately tracks my bike rides via GPS and picks up cadence and speed from garmin sensors. Also transmits my HR to Garmin 830 trip computer. Would definitely purchase again.

Liking It
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from a Fitbit Versa because I needed sport activities that were not included in the Versa. I like the multiple facets of the watch and the app is pretty amazing!!!! The watch tracks by GPS automatically, sleep, breathing, event tells me when I'm stressed and requests that I stop to breath as well as reminding me to get up and move. When I complete an activity, it even shows me a map of my course. Still need to learn how to switch from one activity to another; run to walk for example. I like that the app measures my sleep BUT I think it needs tweaking. I know it has measured my wake up time as later than when I actually wake up. The Versa was much better at that. I WAS disappointed that Best Buy did not have the Rose Gold option but apparently the Rose Gold can only be ordered. I didn't want to use my watch and then return it when the Rose Gold came in. That part was a real bummer. The fact that I couldn't get the Rose Gold wasn't available immediately and the sleep tracking mode is a little off is the only reason for a 4 star. Otherwise, I love it!
