Garmin Venu 3 Watch - Black/Slate

Was having charging problems with Venu. After I had it for over 3 to 4 years. Love my Venu and missed it but love, love and I mean love my new Venu3. It has more features and loves the size of my screen. Female needed a little bigger face size. Had two switches out the silicone bands for stretchy fabric bands.

When I got my watch about a month ago, I was debating on whether to get the Venue3 or the Venue3S because I wasn't sure about the larger watch on my wrist. I decided on the Venue3 and have been so happy with my decision to go with the bigger watch! I love the size, the battery life, the health and Smartwatch features of this venue 3. This is by far my favorite watch that I've owned not just for its health tracking features but also the stylish design!

Very happy with battery life and features of the Venu 3. Haven't had a chance to use it for longer cycling rides or golf, but seems like it should work good.

I’ve been using this watch about a month now. I will never switch back to my Apple Watch. Features are amazing. I love the functionality and battery life for hiking. Across the board, the best.

All features are good & advance but 5G network are not visible on the watch, hence not able to connect directly. Please see if anything can be done about it. I have Venu 3, operating in India

I finally made the jump from my old Apple Watch to a Garmin and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. When doing my research about Garmin, I heard it described as “a fitness watch with smart watch capabilities,” and I believe this to be the most accurate description. This is one of the best watches around for tracking fitness and lifestyle. I have been wearing it daily for about a month now and enjoy all the statistics of my day to day. The battery on the Venu 3s is amazing! As preciously stated, I had an Apple Watch and could not make it through the day without needing it to charge for at least an hour. But this watch has never dipped below 85% battery during the day and charges to full while I take my daily showers. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend the Garmin Venu 3s for anyone looking!

I bought the Venu a couple of weeks ago. I have worn the Vivoactive, Vivoactive 4s and the Vivoactive 5. I finally got fed-up with the inconsistency of the HRM on the 5. I decided to upgrade to the Venu (larger size) and I am very happy with the decision. It has some features that I have not had before and the HRM is more accurate. I bought a Garmin HRM 600 so I would have very accurate measures. When wearing only the Venu watch it is way more accurate than than my Vivoactive 5 was. I swim laps in the pool with it, so open water swimming and use it on my bike. I like that I can very clearly see the screen, especially while swimming. Beautiful, bright display on this watch.The battery life is better than the Vivoactive 5, and this time of year I use the GPS a lot when training outside. I like the strong vibration for alarms and notifications, but also like that this Garmin has sound. I have answered my phone and made a call from the watch. I have an iPhone so I can’t use the text option. I am still exploring features on the watch, and I’m very satisfied with this Garmin and with my decision to upgrade and spend a bit more for a better HRM and additional features.

issue with the voice assistant as the issue is the phone is not seeing the watch secondary bluetooth connection it needs to use the voice assistant feature. Per Garmin support.... As mentioned before, we are aware of the issue and have an active case setup to try and find out what is happening. Return product :-(

I had this watch for 5 to 6 days and only had the watch face I wanted for around 12 hours then it switched to Garmin generic face. I tried switching back to the face I downloaded and it would never come back up. Tried restarting, that didn’t work. I tried deleting the face I downloaded and downloaded again, and it would never change from the generic watch face. Tried factory reset and from there it would never link back up with my phone, after a day and half, I had enough. I returned the watch for full refund. I love Garmin, but for me the VENU 3 was a bad fit. My Forerunner 55 has been great, I may try the Instinct 2X Solar and see how that goes. I am not giving up on Garmin, just the VENU 3, we were Compatible.

This watch replaced a Fitbit that was four years old, and stopped tracking my steps or sleep score. So far, it works well, and hopefully it lasts longer than four years. Garmin could do better with training you to use all the features, as it's not easy to sift thru dozens of videos on its use, especially for new users to Garmin products.

Have owned for approx 6 mths and learning more every day

I had my original watch replaced because of a known issue with the button haptics. Now my watch is incapable of accurately measuring stairs. The barometer readings are pretty off and recalibrating or manually setting does not solve the issue.

Why am I waking to the Garmin Venu 3 watch disconnected to a Pixel 9 Pro watch. This in repeating once a week for the last 3 weeks. Re-setup has had to be performed after each disconnect. Purchased 5/19/2024. This has been a good watch until the disconnects. Another disconnect will probably have me going to a different sport/smart Watch.

I absolutely love this Venu 3! Great battery life, great display, workout and health features are incredible and very insightful data that’s perfect for improving overall fitness, health, and sleep goals. Data accuracy is spot on and doesn’t over estimate or under estimate metrics. Thank you!

Works great with my Samsung. Wish they would update to a qwerty keyboard and a way to start a text from the watch. You can only reply or use T9 to reply.

I have been wearing this watch for 2 weeks now and so far I’m loving it! The battery life is incredible (I’ve only had to charge it twice!), and the sleep tracking is very nice! I was an avid Apple Watch wearer for 6 years, and I’m so happy I switched!

I loved the watch it works perfectly for me the only thing I wish if had was the feature to turn my alarm off from the watch itself. Since I’m not always near my phone. I did decide to send the Venu 3 back only because it was just to big for my wrist. I switched to the 3s and I’m glad I did

Love it, it has great features, had* a great battery life until an update a few months ago. Now it dies in less than 48 hours. I don't believe I've even had it for 6 months before this happened. I've been working with Garmin techs on troubleshooting but still no fix yet. Hopefully it gets figured out because 2 day life is not cutting it with my lifestyle.

Miles ahead from the competition (Pixel Watch, Apple Watch).

I’ve been using my Garmin Venu 3 for a while now, and honestly, I’ve been loving it so far. It’s been a fantastic upgrade from my previous fitness trackers, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite gadgets. Design & Comfort: First off, the watch looks sleek and feels comfortable on my wrist. It’s lightweight, fits well, and the screen is bright and crisp, even outdoors in sunlight. The AMOLED display is a huge improvement over older models I’ve owned. Fitness & Health Tracking: The health features are outstanding. Heart rate monitoring feels accurate, and I like how the watch keeps track of my sleep, stress levels, and Body Battery. The hourly movement reminders help keep me active, but they’re not annoying. I used to be really into Fitbit challenges, and while Garmin does things differently, I’m enjoying the Garmin Connect community and challenges so far. Smart Features: Notifications come through seamlessly, and I love being able to see texts, calls, and app alerts right on my wrist. I’m especially impressed that I don’t have to manually select each app to receive notifications like I did with my older devices. Battery Life: Battery life has been solid, lasting several days on a single charge, depending on how much I use GPS and the screen. The only thing that’s been a bit tricky for me is the charging cable connection—it sometimes takes a moment to click into place. But it’s a small issue overall. Music & Apps: Spotify works great on the watch, and the ability to download music directly has been awesome, especially for workouts. I did notice that Garmin doesn’t support Pandora, which I used to use, but Spotify covers most of my needs. Final Thoughts: Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin Venu 3. It’s stylish, functional, and has all the features I want for health, fitness, and smart connectivity. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded smartwatch that goes beyond simple step counting.

I bought this because I was told the battery was a lot better than the Apple Watch. I only charge this once a week and it is great.

I was holding out on switching to a garmin but when my watch needed charging twice a day I gave up. The Garmin is so much better for anyone that actually does any level of physical activity. And I use less than 10 percent of my battery each day which is amazing. I also like the sleep score!

As I am in recovery of a 90% blockage that got a stent the Venu 3 is a life saver! This is the right tool to expedite the recovery process!

I switch from an Apple Watch 10 and I was a bit skeptical at the time but it was a really good decision by far.

This watch goes far above and beyond any Apple watch and is super easy to use. Battery time before having to recharge for me is 7-8 days even without using any energy conservation settings.

Easy to set us and use. Love that I can customize to my daily schedule and activities.

I had an Apple Watch and it was getting older and I was tired of always charging it twice a day. This looked great and I thought I would try it out based on the fitness and the smart features. This watch is excellent and lasts a long time .I like to track my sleep and fitness and it does that Wonderfull and in some ways better than Apple Watch like body battery. I am enjoying not charging this for several days at a time.

As a former Apple Watch lover, I’m absolutely loving the features of the Garmin Venu 3. Especially the battery life. I can easily go 3 to 4 days and then charge for 10 to 15 minutes and good to go for another 3 to 4 days. I could barely get a full day charge with my Apple Watch. I also love the details on walking trails and the health stats the watch supplies!! I would have given a 5, but felt the learning curve was a little slow for me, but overall I love the watch!!

My wife bought both of us new Venu3 watches and I love mine! I had an older Apple watch and worried that I would lose some of the sync with my phone but so far flawless connectivity!
