Fun features but phone App control is just another app to log in to and manage. Wish instructions for watch and the control features for things like volume were more easily accessible from the get go. The face scratches easily and Bluetooth connection makes the battery go down quickly. I can maybe get 2 or 3 days with Bluetooth and updates on. Wish garmin was clearer on capabilities and what devices work with specific products and that they wouldn’t charge for apps.

Lovely design

I was an apple watch girl but media got me and I am so glad it got me. My first reason to consider switching to garmin was of how delicate and elegant the watch looked, then all the amazing data you can get from your watch. I love it!

Fantastic iteration on a solid tracker

I use this in conjunction with an Edge bike computer for when I do bike specific activity, but replaced a first-gen Venu S. This model, on a repeat of the same first backpacking trip, lasted two extra days without charging compared to the S's maiden voyage. That's in conjunction with a nicer screen, more accurate tracking, AND being paired to a phone in airplane mode for most of the trip. I recommend this watch to anyone looking for a step up in fitness tracking and basic smart watch capability, but not looking to break in to triathlon or mountaineering just yet.

Best watch I have ever had

I am in love with my new Garmin. I was a Fitbit user for years and they are pretty good watches, but I switched to the Apple Watch after Google took over Fitbit. The Apple Watch is a complete nightmare, unusable unless you enjoy being enslaved to the charger. My Garmin is easy to use, has wonderful functions, has a bright and easy to read watch face and has a battery with long life. I am so glad I came to Garmin.

Amazing watch!

I made the switch from Apple Watch to this Garmin Venu 3s. I am so thankful I did. There is so much more to the fitness app, battery life is unreal lasting over 7 days!, and the watch is stylish. I comteplated and compared. I even ordered the new Apple Watch because I was worried about how the Garmin would work with my 16 pro iPhone. The very next day a coworker told me about her same dilemma and showed me her Venu 3s. I was sold and immediately returned the Apple Watch and ordered the Garmin. Best decision ever! Absolutely no syncing issues whatsoever. I will never go back to the Apple Watch again.

Good features

I updated my older Garmin with this model and am still getting adjusted to the new model. At age 83, the functions and results are clearly based on younger users; rather than older users. The sleep mode specifically is based on younger users.

Made my wife happy! So I’m happy.

Going from a Polar Running watch to this, was way more than just a lateral move. This watch was a major upgrade. Upgrades to data was just a minor upgrade compared to the beauty and elegance of this watch. Would have been better if it had some diamonds going around the rim of the watch, but it’s fine. 😉My wife couldn’t be happier with this watch.
