LOVE IT!

I put off buying one because of price and having to do research to pick one and I have other things that do each thing individually but I'm so glad I finally did. It fits everything but track food. I haven't taken it off other than to shower.

Love it, but it disconnects ALL the time.

I really like the features, but a huge issue is that it disconnects from the phone ALL the time! Just today alone i have had to reconnect 3 times. When this happens, everything related to my phone no longer works.

Sleek, simple, and reliable

I absolutely love this watch. It's simple, sleek, and incredibly comfortable to wear — exactly what I was looking for. I wore it during my first half marathon, and it performed perfectly. Lightweight yet durable, it didn’t get in the way at all, and the minimalist design looks great both during a workout and day-to-day wear. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish timepiece that just works.

Love my Garmin Venu 3S

I was hesitant to stop using my Apple smart watch, but needed a little more. Now, I’m so glad I did!!!

The build quality of the watch itself is nice. I also like the interface of the watch and find the Garmin app easy to understand and use. I usually use Strava to track my activities, and it was easy to link that app with my Garmin watch. Unfortunately, I scratched the watch a lot while rock climbing outside in a "chimney-style" climb, but I've had the watch for over a year and a half since that incident, and it still works perfectly fine. There are only visible, deep scratches, but the watch doesn't glitch or do anything weird.

When I first started using the Venu 3S, I found it a bit overwhelming trying to navigate all the different features. But after about a week, I really started to love it. The Venu 3S is excellent for tracking a wide range of fitness goals, whether you're walking, running, swimming, or doing something else active. It also provides insightful sleep scores to help you understand your rest better. One of my favorite things about this watch is that it’s not bulky like many other smartwatches. It's lightweight and comfortable. I think it’s a great option for beginners who want something compact but still packed with powerful features.

Almost perfect

I bought the Venu3 to replace my wonderful, but scratched up Vivoactive4. I love the bright colorful screen (Crystal Reborn), the better sleep insights and the addition of HRV and Recovery information. But I hate being restricted to a black background when I go cycling (MTB mostly). I think I understand it’s due to the nature of the higher quality screen vs battery drain, but I would be fine with battery drain as I seldom ride more than 2 hours. In the bright Texas sun, wearing sunglasses, I simply cannot take in the information I want with a glance…. And I really prefer to be minimalist and have avoided a cycling computer. My best solution seems to be to switch to my Vivoactive when I ride, which is hugely disappointing.
