Garmin Venu 3 - Black/Slate

BOUGHT IT A COUPLE OW WEEK AGO. GETTING USE TO IT. HAD A 2 BEFORE. HOWEVER THE SLEEP SCORE IS NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD. MOST NIGHT IS DOES NOT FUNCTION, OTHER NITES A VERY PARTIONAL SCORE.

I bought the Venue 3 but had to return, not because of any problem with the watch. The reason is I couldn't get the font large enough to read.

I bought this watch with expectations that all functions would work as claimed but it does not perform as expected. Would return for another that performs as claimed.

This watch is great, easy to use, nice updates since my Venu2s. Comfortable. The bad- I had worn this watch for 9 days and I noticed there was a crack in my screen. I don't remember hitting it on anything. I have my other Garmin for years with absolutely no issues. So they quality has gone down for such and expensive item. And very unfortunate I had to pay to get a replacement for only a 9 day old watch.

This Garmin Venu 3 does more than I do. I've barely scratched the surface with it. Every day, I learn something new about it. One thing I especially like is the fact that it goes days and days without needing a charge. My previous watch had to be charged every day. I would like to see wireless charging available for it, though. I don't like having to plug in those four tiny pins to charge it.

It does all I need it to. Plus if you want it to look fancy when you go out just down load a new face. Or buy a different watch band. Great price great watch

I bought this Garmin Venu 3 to replace my Apple Watch because I wanted more health tracking features than what the Apple Watch could offer. WOW am I so glad I made the switch. I had my Apple Watch for 5 years and I thought I would never part with it, but I am so glad I did. The Garmin Venu 3 has far exceeded my expectations. Here are my reviews of various features: Battery Life The battery life on this watch is incredible. I can go a full week without charging, including multiple workouts per day, wearing it to sleep, etc. HUGE perk right there. Health Tracking There are so many health tracking features on this watch, including EKG, SpO2, HRV. If you are looking to have a better grasp on health features, this watch checks many boxes. Large Screen My eyes need all the help they can get, so this large screen is really helpful. Fitness Tracking As a very active person (4 strength training days per week, 3 runs per week, and pick-up pickleball 3-5 times per week), I love having a watch that will track my progress. This watch does a great job! It also provides personalized training features based on your fitness goals! Cannot say enough great things about this watch :)

I've had it for close to a month so far, the battery life is pretty lengthy, the features are excellent to the point, that I haven't even used them all yet. I love the texting and calling feature. I love how accurate the steps and mileage is.

I've been using the Garmin Venu 3 for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best smartwatches I've owned. Garmin has really nailed the balance between fitness tracking, health insights, and everyday smartwatch features with this model. Design & Display: The AMOLED display is stunning—bright, vibrant, and easy to read even in direct sunlight. The sleek design and customizable watch faces make it stylish enough for both workouts and daily wear. It's also lightweight and comfortable, even during long runs or while sleeping. Fitness & Health Features: This is where the Venu 3 really shines. It offers an impressive range of tracking capabilities, including heart rate, stress levels, SpO2, respiration, and even nap detection. The built-in sleep coach and Body Battery feature have helped me better understand and manage my rest and recovery. And with over 30 built-in sports apps, it adapts well to nearly any fitness routine. Battery Life: Battery life is excellent—easily lasting around 10-14 days with regular use, depending on how many features you have enabled. Even with GPS and music playback, it holds up impressively well. Smart Features: It syncs quickly with my phone, and I appreciate the ability to make calls and respond to texts (on Android). Garmin Pay, music storage, and third-party apps via Connect IQ round out a great suite of smartwatch functions. Final Thoughts: If you're serious about health and fitness but also want a watch that looks good and functions well in everyday life, the Garmin Venu 3 is a fantastic choice. It’s powerful, user-friendly, and packed with thoughtful features that genuinely help improve wellness and performance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Highly recommended!

Have great interaction with my Venu 3. Easy to learn how to navigate and aside from it's self auto update, access from my pc or mac also accesses app. Music, etc.

Good tracking features and battery live, but pretty poor connectivity with Apple products (iPhone 15, AirPods). GPS connectivity partial also rather slow. Would not but again.

Bought about a month ago, and happy with the product. Had the original venu and this watch really ups the data. The new sensor works really well.

I suggest you play with this for a week and see what features work for your workouts. Then set up is pretty easy to customize for yourself!

I bought this recently and am super happy I did !! Looks and feels amazing on the wrist!!

I am 68 and not great with electronics. Once I got a 40 year old niece and a 19 year old great nephew involved, I was able to get the data screens I wanted for my trail runs. Come cross country ski season I'll employ them, again.

Had a Venu 2s - had issues with shutting down during activity with 40%+ charge left. The Venu 3 has many new features - like the bigger face. The Venu 3 is definitely a great fitness watch - love it!

I have an aversion to smart watches, but this watch has changed my mind. Long battery life, health metrics, and just enough syncing info from my phone. I move furniture and packages for a living and this watch has held up to tough work.

So far, I like everything about my new Venue 3, particularly as compared to my now battery dead Vivoactive 4. The battery lasts longer, the display is large and of better resolution, and I appreciate the additional capabilities the Venu 3 adds, such as the ECG App.

I have had another Watch for years. No complaints on the watch but I have been eyeing the Venu 3 for a while for additional health/sleep tracking. It was worth the switch! I have had it for a few weeks now and thought I haven’t used all the features, the sleep and workout tracking alone are great! The work out modes are simple to use and have additional features then what I’m used to (ie. rep counts for strength). I like the sleep mode at night to encourage a good night sleeps and it’s comfortable to wear when sleeping (something I was worried about since my previous watch didn’t last a full day and I never wore to bed).

This arrived a few weeks ago and I thought it would have some of the features in the less expensive Vivoactive - why on a device focused on health not include smart alarms but the vivoactive does? :( Otherwise, no complaints. Love the form factor, screen, etc.

When I first got my venu 3 I enjoyed it but after an update it stop receiving text messages and I cant figure out why or how to get it back.

I've had this watch i want to say a month now and works very well. I'm loving the battery life and how bright the colors are. Does a good job tracking steps and heart rate and all that jazz.

So many comments on internet regarding the Venu 4 but nothing from Garmin and out of frustration I purchased the Venu 3 discounted. I would have purchased the Venu 4 had some one advised when timing of release would be. Not happy but I did want to move away from Apple being an Apple user since first release.

I really like the Venu 3. As you use it, it gets to “know you.” It really helps and motivates me to stay on track in my weight loss and exercise routines.

I received this watch as a gift. BEST GIFT EVER!!!

My electrophysiologist wanted me to purchase a watch to record my episodes of AFib so I chose this one. Love the features it has but my only gripe is that the watchband sucks big time. Already looking for a replacement

I am still getting familiar with my watch. I am loving my watch and each new feature I find is great

This is my second Venu! I went to Apple as all my friends said how good it was however I missed the features of my Garmin. I 100% recommend getting a Garmin

I had needed a new smart health watch after my Fitbit versa 2 died. Took me almost a year to find the right one and if I did want to get another one. The Venu 3 came well recommended and does just about all I needed to do. It’s a great upgrade from my Fitbit. My only complaint on it is that you can’t select which apps notifications show up on the watch like the Fitbit did. Love that the battery last a full week using it almost daily for gps activity tracking something Apple can’t even come close to.
