Favorite Watch
George from Green Valley, AZ on 5/12/2025
I love this watch. It is a big step up from the Garmin Instinct that I was using. The Venu 3 is stylistic and light weight. I also like that it has fewer buttons and operates by swiping. However, I have not found a use yet for the center button. Some of the aps I will never use, such as music, these are easy to remove at setup. Heart rate is accurate and sleep data is much improved over the Instinct. I especially like the long battery life.

Good value in a sports watch
Richard from Grand Rapids, MI on 1/26/2025
I had a Garmin vivoactive watch for several years that finally gave out. The venu has a lot more features and better battery life than my previous watch. The screen is easy to read and much brighter than to old one. I particularly like that I can answer my phone from the watch if I need to. Overall satisfied with the watch so far. Good value for the money in my opinion. Looks good too
Pros: Feature packed
Cons: Somewhat pricey, but you can pay a lot more for something with similar features

Big upgrade
Robert from Wasilla, AK on 1/28/2024
As a former Galaxy Watch 6 owner I have found the Venu 3 to have many more features, much more in depth data, and the 14 day battery life certainly is better than the 36 to 48 hours I got with the Samsung Watch.
Pros: Much richer data collection. More in depth sleep analysis. Very reliable sync with Garmin Connect app.
Cons: Pre installed watch faces have two many analog faces and too many with "day glow" colors. But, Connect IQ has some great watch faces to download.

VENU3
Philip from Gordonsville, VA on 1/13/2024
The watch has been great and the integration with the Garmin Connect App has been seamless. The watch has done everything that I had hoped and more; the HR monitor seems to be very accurate, the sleep tracking/body batter have been accurate, and the workout options and trackers have been great.
Pros: Accurate, workout/activity tracking, comfortable, easy to use.
Cons: None found.

Garmin Venu 3
Maria from Utuado, PR on 12/25/2023
The best smart watch I had own. Having own garmin forerunner before and later a Fitbit versa 3, this is Venu 3 has thrown it off the park. Everything I need to know at a glance, encouraging me to get on with my day with a report of my sleep and the weather report. Been able to answer calls a most. I have to be honest, I hesitate when the price was a little bit higher than I expected. But it is really worthy. Now I am part of the Garmin community. And loving it. ??????

Does everything! Well, almost.
Michael from Knoxville, TN on 12/11/2023
This is my first fitness tracker and smart watch. It's exceeding all my expectations. The screen is bright and easy to read. You can use the default settings and start tracking health metrics, steps and activities right away. Now I'm starting to explore all the other available features, apps, and customizations. It's amazing to me what they've managed to put on your wrist. I feel this watch is geared primarily towards tracking health and fitness, but with enough smart watch features to satisfy most people's needs. Battery life is great! I've worn it for a week and it's still at 54%. I will include that I did have a little trouble with the initial Bluetooth pairing to my phone. But I followed the troubleshooting instructions on Garmin's support site and got it working on the 2nd attempt.
Pros: Bright screen Excellent sleep tracking Accurate step counting Strong GPS antenna Easy customization
Cons: None so far
