Great Alternative to Apple watch
This smartwatch offers the user a dressy alternative to the Apple watch and other Garmin activity watches. With its touchscreen scrolling and easy ability to navigate texts, the watch helps bridge the gap between apple watch functionality while offering great battery life and Garmin superior activity tracking. I've used the Garmin 945 LTE and fenix 5 which both lack the touch screen scrolling and ability to respond to texts and phone calls (android only) The only thing that will make the Venu better is the ability to respond to text while connected on the Iphone.

Best watch ever
Best decision I could have made going from my apple to garmin venu s3. More accurate and just all around better. Great product.

Super basic
Every app I I try to get for the watch say I need an update, despite the watch being fully up to date. The apps I'm talking about are stuff like Spotify, maps, and honestly most of the downloadable watch faces. The watch is still usable so I'll probably keep it, but I can only imagine if thats a consistent issue across all their watches, that is definitely a form of false advertisement. Being the apps played a huge roll in why I got the watch .... if you don't care about ythe apps issue the watch is fine for like the basic stuff. I also had hoped the keyboard for text messages worked a bit better i suppose the screen is small but its inconvenient to reply on it. Maybe if they had an option for scribble to text like the Samsung watches had that'd probably make up for the apps lol. Anyway I give it 3 stars cuz other than the things I mentioned it does the other stuff as described but its not really anything special, battery life is good, otherwise I probably would've gotten a Samsung watch.

Die hard venu fan here
I had the first gen Venu, which lasted me nearly 5 years and my husband just upgraded mine for me this summer to the Venu 3. I love it. New features added with the old ones still functional and the beige/gold colorway is so chic

Glass Face Cracked after 3 Weeks
I love the watch but the glass face already cracked. I've only had it for 3 weeks weeks, and I am not rough on it. I expected better.

Ehh
There are a few things I like about the Garmin mostly the battery life, but several things I miss about my Apple watch. The one thing I hate THE MOST about this Garmin is that if your phone is not plastered to your body you lose connection. I can’t even walk from my kitchen to my garage without my watch telling me my phone disconnected. We should be able to walk around a close distance especially when we have WiFi and still have phone functions on our watch.
