Good but glitchy
I have been wearing this watch everyday for several weeks now. I had originally bought the instinct solar because I liked the idea of solar charging but had too many problems. Traded in and got this but seems to have the same problems although the look and functionality is way better. I bought this for two reasons, one being to track runs and the other for sleep monitoring. It works great for runs but is terrible at being consistent with sleep monitoring. More often than not it doesn’t even register it or it will only register a few hours. This has been a bit of a bummer honestly. I will say the gps works great and it is a great watch with a good app to keep track of runs. For the money, there is probably much cheaper options if this is all it is good for. Heart rate monitor is hit and miss and I often need to take it off, wipe the sensor, and put back on several times a day to keep it going. I charge once every seven days which is great but less than advertised.

Switched to Venu 3 from Apple Watch
I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now. I’m still getting used to it switching from my Apple Watch. I find it’s more accurate than my Apple Watch when running/walking. All positive things to say so far!

Great Upgrade
Great upgrade from the Venu 2. Much more information displayed on the watch without having to access Connect. More intuitive app selection (e.g., timers, stop watch). ECG & HRV additions are great. Taking phone calls on the watch is much more useful than I thought it would be.

Awesome watch!
My Apple Watch wasn’t cutting it anymore, I wanted to understand more about my health and fitness so I took the dive into a Garmin instead and I will never go back. I love the insights I receive each day. It’s an awesome piece of wearable tech that does everything I want and more. I tell anyone who asks about it that they should swap.

Perfect for running
I am Happy with my venu 3. I LOVE it for running. I dont Love that I often need to reconnect it to my phone. I use It a lot for running/working out & was extremely excited to have the battery last me 14 days. But I am Lucky if it lasts a week. which is great coming from having to charge my Apple Watch each night. I also Struggle with not being able to respond to texts on it because that was very convenient when wearing my Apple Watch

Great watch for general health and activities
I bought this watch a lo th ago to replace a Venu 2 that died after 3 years. I like the health monitoring and reporting features - steps, stairs, sleep, stress - the timer and stopwatch - and the activity tracking for running, biking, hiking. I like the new morning wakeup wakeup feature, complete with an inspirational phrase to start off the day. It has a large, easy to read face, and best of all - long battery life !!

Upgraded from Apple Watch
I was skeptically I would love the Garmin as much as my apple watch, but I was really looking for someone to elevate my training and sleep tracking. The Garmin Venu 3 is perfect for me. Though it has Smart Watch capabilities, I do not feel as hyper-connected as I did with my Apple Watch. Absolutely LOVE this watch and would recommend to anyone looking for the same features!

Better than I could have thought!
This watch's battery life is amazing! The watch is so light compared to my galaxy watch, I sometimes, don't realize that I have it on! I would 100 percent recommend this watch!
