Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned the watch for about a week and I am very happy with it so far. My old Vivoactive 3 was having issues with the touch screen, so I decided to upgrade to the Venu. First off the screen is awesome. It can be a bit washed out in full sunlight, but it is still much improved over the Vivoactive 3. I am still getting used to the new metrics that come with the Venu, so I cannot comment on their usefulness. I use this watch to track walking, heart rate and intensity minutes while riding a bike. I did have a problem with getting the step goal and intensity minutes goal to change. On Monday the goals did change. Not sure why I can't change them in the middle of the week. My only other complaint is the delay in having the watch turn on with a gesture. I wish it was about half the delay.

I purchased this to wear while cycling and riding motocross. It works great with my iPhone and tracks the critical data I am looking for. The battery life smokes my old Apple Watch which is a huge plus! I can gather the sleep data because my watch isn’t charging all the time. I cycle about 200 miles a week and wear it 24 hours. The watch only needs to be charged once a week. The Apple Watch had to be charged every day. The interface is clean and looks awesome. If I had to provide any feedback, it’s not very user friendly in the beginning but once it’s set up, I don’t need to touch it or change anything. Also, I have to use more apps to control this and other smart fitness devices. It would be cool if I had just one app to do it all.

This has great battery life I charge once a week. I run everyday and it is always ready. Once you get used to the watch it is easy to navigate however, not as user friendly as apple but way better in my eyes.

Great fitness tracker, ok as a smartwatch. There are better smartwatches out there, but if fitness is your focus this is a great watch. Battery life is way better than other android compatible smartwatches.

I like the looks of this Garmin watch as well as the OLED screen. Good basic functions that you would expect in watch at this level. The HR monitor tracks close to my Peloton HR band so it's pretty accurate. Like the calorie tracking, the option to download various watch faces, steps, sleep quality, etc. Very pleased to have a watch that looks sharp and is light enough to wear during workouts. Also, like that I can run my music service from the watch too. Very pleased after a month of use.

I've been using this watch for about 4 months now and love it! In the past I've had FitBit Ionics (terrible - they die at 12 months and randomly freeze), and tried the Galaxy Watch & Galaxy Sport. I was hoping it had Pandora support (Spotify, Deezer, local storage supported) but few watches support Pandora outside of the Ionic. Bought a Spotify subscription. Love the mini-workouts, always-on display, accuracy, battery life (3-4 days), integration with my Galaxy S10e, no-charge training (just did a 10K), Bluetooth connection to my PowerBeats Pro's, and... wait for it... the Body Battery (that thing is crazy accurate - just don't live your life by it - God provides). Downside: I wish it had more physical buttons as some things require touching the screen (like swiping) which can be difficult during exercise.

I am really impressed with the sleep monitoring accuracy, readings, the stress monitoring function and the Pulse Ox. Still, I wish it had a more user friendly UI to set up the device for my workouts. It’s also surprisingly difficult to find information on how to pair the watch with equipment that it’s supposed to be able to pair with. In the end, I believe in the quality of the product, I just didn’t expect to need to set aside so much time to set it up and learn how to use it to get the most benefit from it.

I had a less expensive activity tracker from Garmin which I beat up to a point where I could not read the face, so it was time for something new. This is easy to use and the sleep tracking is better than the less expensive unit. GPS works very well, also.

Great, full function smart watch with helpful golf, workout and health monitoring applications. Great screen and easy to use. A great replacement for my third vivoactive watch.

This watch does everything I wanted it to do; heart rate, sleep, step, weather, custom watch face and many more features that I haven't even used yet. Battery lasts 10 days.

Got this watch for my wife and she really enjoys the way it works and the battery life. She likes the feature of being able to change the backgroumd to picture of our kids.

Have owned for 2 years, has been wonderful. Sleep tracking not that good but if you like running and listening to music gets the job done.

This watch had everything I was looking for. I bought it with the intention of tracking my distance/pace/time/etc. for running and walking. It was able to do all of those functions perfectly. The battery life was excellent, especially in comparison to similar watches. I ended up returning the watch because it was too fancy for me. I really had no desire for a smartwatch, so all of the extra functions, though cool, were a bit unnecessary. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a smartwatch, as it's likely among the best.

This is such a useful watch to have. So easy to customize the main face. Gives so much info especially if you like to workout. Also the battery always lasts so long

This is a beautiful watch and the display is vibrant. I was deciding between this and the Apple Watch. If you mainly want the technical data and capabilities of fitness/hiking/etc., the venue is a great fit in my opinion. I ultimately chose the Apple Watch for this because I wanted the additional features like receiving text messages and some features that i would also have because I have an iPhone. That being said, the Venue is great and I would highly recommend it.

Great fitness watch and stylish enough to wear everyday! Stores music that plays on any Bluetooth speaker or earbuds. Many fitness stats, gps for running and can change watch faces. Love this!!!

Amazing watch! I bought this watch after scouring YouTube looking for the right one. This watch has a gorgeous screen that is bright and visible in direct sunlight. It was easy to set up and you hardly notice it on your wrist while on a run. Unlike other watches, this won't day after a day of use. I was able to still get a 4-mile run while connected to my PowerBeats Pro, started at 20%, and ended it with 11%. This is a watch you definitely want to get if you are looking for a great companion on your runs. It beats running with the huge phones that companies are out with now.

OLED, vivoactive 4, great size and weight and tons of features. I've owned 2 other Garmin watches and over the years my biggest complaint was the screens. Which this model finally addressed with the new OLED which is a great improvement. Tracking seems to good, gps works as expected and workouts are simple. Works with my phone and smart scale without any issues. The only thing that needs to be improved is the custom watch face tool. The resolution is all wrong, images look poor, the text is way to small, hard to read on the screen, and a lack of custom options and layouts. Honestly if they would fix this and give us more options this is 5 star smart watch all day.

My latest Fitbit died way too soon, so in doing research and comparisons, I settled on replacing it with Garmin. It's a great watch. I cannot compare it to an Apple Watch, but this is what may last Fitbit should have been. It connects seamlessly with my phone, something my Fitbit refused to do after a while. If I want to set up a coaching session, I can-- without paying a subscription fee to do so. I can keep track of my calendar, keep track of water consumption, keep track of my car (there's a built-in satellite positioning-- something you'd expect from Garmin.) I'm still learning what this watch can do, but I truly appreciate that it's water resistant-- something the Fitbit really wasn't. Maybe I caused it's premature death through drowning, but I really don't want to worry about the watch when I'm out gardening or washing something. There are a slew of fitness things this watch can do and you can set it up to "coach" you through them, and it does the usually vibrate-nagging to encourage you to do more than sit around admiring the watch face you just downloaded. It provides lots of information on heart rate, respiration, stress levels, and movement on the watch face for a quick check and more info on the phone app. Battery life? I check the amount of charge left and re-charge it, so I can't say if the advertised battery life is correct. Charging seems faster than the Fitbit. Overall, the Garmin offers more for the money than the Fitbit.

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