Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Battery life is super Display is super Features are super

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.

I like the features and battery performance, which lasts upto 8 days

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!!

Great workout device! Make sure you connect to the IQ connect app to take advantage of it

Awesome discount for an excellent watch. Lots of features.

This is a very good watch. Happy about my purchase.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 looking, good features, unreliable GPS. Purchased in December and now in May it won't consistently find GPS. End up standing around waiting to start run and sometimes it just never works. Scheduling service now. Disappointed.

My primary use for the Venu is for running and cycling (both indoor and outdoor). I initially owned the Garmin Forerunner 245 for about two years. An amazing watch, but I eventually wanted a watch with a touch screen. I opted for an Apple Watch (series SE), but returned it after two months. During the exchange I came across the Venu. Although it is inferior to the Forerunner 245, it honestly comes with nearly EVERY feature for my specific needs; I am an enthusiast runner and cyclist. And pairing with the Garmin Connect iPhone app, it’s loaded with nearly all the features that my Forerunner had minus some Coach training and an onboard map on your wrist (which I don’t care for since my phone is with me). For music, the Venu is Spotify capable so that works for me. It’s a great watch and I couldn’t expect anything less from Garmin. If you’re a hardcore runner that needs countless stats and elevation, plus a ton of other data, the Venu isn’t for you. The Venu offers plenty of data on its own merits and it’s a fantastic watch.

Got this for my husband for his birthday. This is a man that is so NOT tech savvy (still has a flip phone), and he loves it. He's actually monitoring his steps, etc. now. Only wish I could have two separate accounts (I have a Fenix 5S) on my phone so he can see his progress. Great watch
