Garmin – Venu 3 GPS Smartwatch 45 mm Fiber-reinforced polymer – Stainless Steel and Whitestone – (2023)

Garmin venu 3 - Excellent watch, long battery life. Clear screen and easy to use.

Nice product - This is very amazing watch, and great deal for the price.

Good, but not quite right - For years I've been an unhappy Apple Watch user -- I mean, what's the point of a watch that doesn't even hold a charge for 24 hours? And who cares about sleep tracking when you need to charge overnight? With a lot of travel coming up -- and not wanting to worry about battery life on one more device -- I decided to make the switch to Garmin. Unfortunately, after one day of wear, I ended up returning it. Why? - The face is *way* too huge for my daintier wrists; perhaps I should've gone for the Venu 3S but, again, I was prioritizing battery life. - The software is awful. To install newer apps, the watch needs an instant firmware update... which never worked via the app. I had to plug it into my laptop physically and install desktop software which conflicted with the OTA install that kept timing out. Setup took HOURS. - Finally, customization. Garmin is almost endlessly customizable, but there seems to be a fee for everything except the most basic apps and watch faces. Ultimately returned it and went back to my Apple Watch Series 8.

Glad I made the switch - I recently purchased the Garmin Venu 3 and am thrilled. Over the years I have had 4 fitbits. Each one getting worse as I went along. I feel since Google purchased Fitbit they have not maintained quality. I researched both Apple Watches and this Garmin. I decided to purchase the Garmin in part for the battery life. So far the technology, sleeping and fitness aspects have exceeded my expectations! If you are looking for a new fitness watch the Garmin Venu is worth looking at!

Connectivity and layout difficult - I previous had an apple watch but Garmin has had great reviews, I wanted more of a fitness tracker and occasioal text receiving. The garmin is really just meant for fitness, i found it to not be userfriendly. And to many add ons have to purchase for watch faces, and tracking information. If only want steps and time this is for you.

Garmin Venu 3 - Venu 3 is a great activity tracker. Replaced my Apple Watch with the Garmin because of battery life. Garmin battery life is good for about a week. Happy with this product.

Just buy it! - Love this watch! I’ve wore an Apple Watch for a long time, but was looking for something with more analytics on everything I do. This watch has not failed me. I would highly recommend.

Life changing watch… - I have had my Garmin for 14 months now and I’m still loving this purchase. It helps me stay on top of my body battery by giving information when are the best times to exercise or rest. It also keeps up with my sleep and quality. My Physical Therapist is who suggested the watch and I’m happy I took her advice.

Best Watch Ever - Awesome watch, awesome Best BuY customer service. Highly recommend.

Great watch but could have better battery life - The watch is performing well and had good integration with iPhone. However, the battery life is around 5 days on average which is not expected.

In love - I love my Garmin Venu 3. I initially purchased the Venu 3S but replaced it with this coz I like a bigger screen. I should have went for the Venu 3 straight up coz I had to pay fror recycling fee…for what? Anyway, I still have my Apple watch just to put it out there but I hate that i have to charge everyday. With the Garmin, I charge once every 2 weeks. I wear it all day coz I monitor my Stress, HRV, Pulse ox, Sleep Score and a lot more. Apple has it’s own beauty but I am so far in love with the Venu3.

Only for working out. - If you looking for a watch to only track working out then this is 5 star. All the other functionality is terrible. Phone won’t answer, can’t easily give voice commands. A lot of clicking around to get to a function you want.

WATCH me leave a review! - This works very well as a watch, and it's easy to select workouts. I'm also glad that it supports tap-to-pay! Also, this is easily the most comfortable watch I've ever owned!

Garmin smart watch - Very happy with this smart watch. Life os the battery is pretty good.

Best option for this 75-year old - Much better for me than a Galaxy of Google smart watch. Very easy to read. Very easy to operate: does one thing at a time with font sizes I can read. Battery lasts a week. I won't go back to a "traditional" smart watwch.

Overall good - I lift weights and it does not count my sets well. Running and walking it works perfect.

Daily driver! You got 3-5 days of battery based on usage and light on the wrist. Many key features like hydration, sleep tracking guide, jet lag advisor, workout suggestions, etc. are free. No fancy watch faces though and I wish they included full metal casing in this version. I wear in almost all ocassions so it’s a win in my book!

Garmin - Battery life is amazing, fitness tracking isn’t accurate all the time, but overall a good watch.

Wife loves this watch - We are apple people but switched due to the garmin having a round face. The watch has so much information and the screen is crystal clear and the battery life is awesome. Very hqppy with the purchase.

Great Product - The Garmin Venu 3 strikes a wonderful balance between sleek smartwatch design and robust fitness tracking—perfect for everyday wear and health-conscious users.
