    It does the basics which is all I really need. I only wish there were better options for screen protectors.

    I purchased this watch to track my walking in cycling exercises. I was worried about the touchscreen when I got sweaty so I ended up getting a fenix 6X.

    This watch was a lifesaver. Fantastic features that monitor vitals from heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiration and much more...

    I have been using a fitness tracking device for 10 + years, my first smart watch device was a MicroSoft Band. After MicroSoft discontinued their smart watch and product support I replaced the MicroSoft Band with a Garmin VivoActive HR that had given me numerous year of great service so much so I bought a Garmin VivoActive3. For 3 + years I have been using the VivoActive3 daily and have been pleased with the performance however, recently I have experienced that my VivoActive3 is not lasting as long as it had between charges so I decided to investigate replacements. After comparing what Garmin had to offer I decided to purchase a Venu on sale for $249.99. I was expecting great things from the AMOLED display with the 390 x 390 higher screen resolution, respiration, Pulse Ox, music and the numerous other added features however, I have not been impressed with the additional feature for the additional cost. The VivoActive3 is still available for $129.99. As a result, I’m finding it hard to justify paying an additional $120 for the Venu features that I purchased at the sales price of $249.99. With that said, it goes without saying but I'll say it anyway THE GARMIN VivoActive3 is the better value for me and that's all I have to say about that.

    The watch does everything is states it will, and it looks sleek doing so. Only disappointment I have is that it’s hard to find protective screens and bumpers for it.

    The Garmin Venu is super easy to use. I love the smaller size band too. Usually they are too big for my wrist.
