I love everything about it. I love that I can track my workout and listen to my favorite playlist without having to carry my phone into the gym. It is a very smart watch that is intuitive to use.

Perfect for me
Bought this watch and have had it about a month. Switched from an Apple Watch and never looking back. Love the battery life as well as the smartwatch capabilities.

Love My Garmin Venu@3
This watch is bright and easy to see in various lighting conditions. It is intuitively designed. I can quickly access most of its features automatically. I also love how it feels on my wrist. Most times I forget that it's there.

Great watch! But…
Love the Watch, battery time is great and a lot of great features. I just wish it had more sports in the list of activities, I play handball and would love to just press ”handball” in activities when I have training, rather then having to manually add it after every workout

Switched from Apple Watch
I absolutely love the health and performance data that is available on Garmin. I will keep it due to the data and options but it has some room for improvement. I’m a pretty tech savvy person but the set up and ongoing update process requires a lot more than an Apple Watch. I had to download two apps and software to add Spotify to my watch or upload watch faces. I was successful but the process is far from smooth and can use refinement. Another con is the transfer of data to other apps such as Apple Health and Pacer. I have pretty much lost my data because it doesn’t sync consistently even when I try to help with the sync process. Beyond that the battery life and access to performance data will keep me using my Garmin.

Meets My Needs Well
I bought this to replace my Fitbit Sense which died. I loved that Sense, but this Garmin is proving to be a good alternative. It gives me lots of information, and I do not have to buy a subscription--I refuse to buy a watch that won't give me info without a subscription. I am still learning all its features. I've discovered all the watch faces I can download. I love design and color--- I wouldn't buy a watch without it.

Voice Assistant
Love the watch except for the fact that I cannot use voice assistant with my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Brand new phone and brand new watch and it's hard to believe the phone is not compatible to use voice assistant with Venu 3. Disappointing.

Does everything I need it to.
So I had a FitBit Sense 2 for about two years. As you know, they FitBits are being discontinued and now everything is with the Google Pixel watch. This watch has a horrible battery life (28 hours) so that was a major deal breaker. Also the watch would not accurately count all of my steps. did not accurately measure my distance in a walking workout, and would report wild fluctuations in pulse. My Venu accurately counts my steps. It accurately records distance, whether running or walking. My pulse rises gradually during a run. I do not have to continually watch it during a run, but can rather focus on my pace per lap, etc. The metrics displayed during a run or a walk are numerous and totally customizable. The pace per lap has helped me to get consistent km times and lets me know if I have to push the final minute to get under my goal per km. There is an audible notification at each km so I don't have to be looking down for the last .05 km. It tells me "lap X" so I know how many km I have done and it tells me the km split time plus the cumulative time for a km I have run thus far. The choices for watch faces is practically unlimited. You can search for a theme and chances are you will find one that you like. Many are free and many are customizable. I found a nice Star Trek face. Setup was easy. The watch syncs with my phone nicely. I get all kinds of notifications, texts, email, phone calls, etc. The Garmin Connect app has way too much stuff for me to list here. I think unless you are a serious runner training for a specific race, the Venu 3 should be sufficient for your workout needs.
