I upgraded from Apple to Garmin. The stats offer more insight and its user friendly. I’m able to use voice for talk to text and even answer calls from my phone. It doesn't have its own LTE capabilities and has to remained synced via tooth but now days most watched unless you pay for cellular have to do the same thing. Its sleek, aestheticially appealling, and not bulky or heavy. Battery life has been 10 days even with all The smart watcg notifications on and working out daily. I run, weight life, and yoga and pilates. Its perfect for indoors and outdoor and doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Read more
Really nice watch & the battery life is amazing. Im getting close to two weeks before having to charge. Expensive but worth it! Wish list: Actual miles logged instead of just the graph & it needs more bands option. Read more
Upgraded to this from the FitBit Charge 5, and it has a lot of features I've learned I'm fond of: dynamic daily step goals (relative to past achievements), more workout routines, effort comparison, tracking of personal records (biking, but probably running too?), swimming strokes, stress tracking + recovery recommendations, and the Body Battery feature, which seems to align with my sense of my own energy levels. Does not do calorie intake tracking but integrates well with MyFitnessPal which does. Charges in about 30 min and runs for days. Very happy with it. Got 3rd party metal band with magnetic clasp because silicone bands end up giving me a rash in the summertime - happy with that too. Read more
I bought this for my husband as a gift. It does so many things.. my husband LOVES all the reports and feedback the app gives. He has a sleeve tattoo down to his wrist and this was a massive improvement from his Fitbit. The Fitbit wouldn’t work with the tattoo, the Venu 3 has no problem operating flawlessly regardless of the tattoo. It really is the Cadillac of wearables. Beautiful easy to read display, multiple clock faces, great app, what more can I say? Now I want one! Read more
I dont typically write a review unless the product is betterthan expected. I have been using fitbits for several years and was tired of my wrist being continually broken out and needing to pay for the better results. Decided to try the garmin and very pleased with it. The app is great and my wrist is not a red rash. That would make it great in my book but the battery life is amazing which makes this watch an everyday usable product with little effort. Love it.

Amazing watch! Battery life is lasting about 9 days. Could not be happier with all the features this watch has to offer. Display is crystal clear. Read more
I had Fitbits for years but after the last one broke I decided to try Garmin. THE GOOD Overall it is a nice Fitness watch. I really like the 3S smaller size and it looks nice, very premium Good metrics with colorful charts Heart rate shows which zone you are in (great feature) Has all the bells and whistles like texts, calls, music etc Can wear in the pool Syncs with MYfitness Pal THE BAD Expensive (2x as much as Fitbit) Silicone band makes wrist hot. After market bands don't work because of how it's designed and their leather ones are pricey. Do not make a stainless or magnetic band Does not register naps unless you set it Auto rep/lap for weight training, pool swim and walking are terrible and hard to reset after Doesn't sync with Peloton Doesn't show calorie burn while in exercise or the time! Can't wear in salt water Overall a decent watch. Time will tell how long it lasts Read more
Great watch with many features. Very comfortable to wear. If you are an android user, I highly recommend. It was easy to set up and learn in a short amount of time. Read more
