A lot of features
There are many features to recommend this product, and it's fairly intuitive, especially if, like me, you've had a lot of Garmin watches. I like the night snooze option, and morning wake up feature. I selected this watch because I do a wide variety of sports and activities which this watch covers, and particularly wanted a watch that tracked floors, which not all my Garmin watches do. However, I find that the floor tracking is hit or miss, despite the fact we have extra tall ceilings, so the stair case is long. This disappoints me because I do the stair challenges on Garmin Connect. I've also been frustrated with the swim lap tracker, as it misses at least one lap out of every 20, often more. Sometimes it doesn't record them at all. That's disappointing after paying a fair amount for the product. Despite those particular aggravations, overall I'm pleased with the watch.

Very Comprehensive
There's a lot to learn on this watch and I still am. I like the easy to see color detail, the range of health checks, and the choice of work out routines.

Connectivity Issues
My watch continues to buzz walking into another room “phone disconnected “. When I walk into the room where my phone is, it buzzes again “phone connected “

Easy to navigate and track all things YOU!
I bought this only because I was tired of having to charge my iWatch so often. The Venu 3s allowed me to quickly see my sleep score, steps in the day and reminds me to be kind to myself. It’s the most encouraging “tracker” I’ve ever used and I’ve been loyal to an iWatch for 20+ years.

Love this watch!
I switched from Apple Watch and could not be happier with it! The battery life is amazing, there are so many features and I just can’t believe how much this watch does!

More bang for your buck!
I've been looking at this product for about 9 months. I researched it then thought about it, table the idea then do it all over again. I finally took the plunge a couple weeks ago. What a great product! It does way more than I need but what I do use is great. What really sold me is that I'm not required to "subscribe" after some trial period to keep getting data. It is fairly easy to navigate. The app could be a little more user friendly for the data pertaining to health and performance. But once I went through the maze of options, I found my own niche. And it would be nice if it had its own stand-alone food and calorie log rather than having to use an outside app. (I always hate feeling pressured to go "premium" for every little thing.) I love how well it helps you to understand the data collected and it helps you to improve in whatever it is you are needing. The sleep information is very informative. Styling- It looks great, it's not heavy nor bulky. The silicone band is a good size for smaller wrists. It's large enough to see without readers. The screen lighting isn't too bright so it isn't disruptive when you look at it during those restless nights. But it's easily seen during the day, even outdoors. Overall, I'm completely sold on the Garmin Venu 3S and have zero regrets on this purchase.

Wish I switched sooner!
I had been an Apple Watch user for around 10 years so I was hesitant to switch to anything else. After having my Garmin for over a month now I’m so glad I made the transition. I originally got it for training for a half marathon, but now I’ve come to love ALL of its features such as my sleep score, body battery, recovery time, long battery life, accurate heart rate tracker, etc. This watch has helped me pay attention to my health and feel stronger & properly recovered for a workout instead of “closing rings” like I did with my Apple Watch. I fully recommend to this everyone!

Only one drawback......
I would totally give this watch a 5, except for one thing. When answering calls, I can barely hear the call. I've checked the settings several times and literally have it up as far as it will go. I just shout that I'll call them back later on my phone. Other than that,. I love all the features. The watch is stylish and keeps an accurate record of my hikes on the trails. The battery life is better than expected. I'm very pleased with the watch overall.
