Pluses and minuses
I moved to the Venu 3 from a Venu 2 and found that the core features showed modest improvements: very helpful fitness information augmented by music, phone notifications, wallet, etc. Battery life appears to be better and untested thus far are answering the phone and using the phone's Google Assistant. The downsides are a bit more cumbersome navigation, including the third button, and an unresolved challenge where the watch loses its bluetooth connection with its Pixel phone each night and has to be reinstalled. Every morning. At some point I will muster the time to track down a solution.

Great upgrade from Venu 2
Happy to have upgraded from Venu 2 last month. Venu 3 is better technically, with all the old features enhanced and a more intuitive UI. Heart rate monitor-based functions all work better, plus new diagnostics offer better sleep insight. If you want more running- or golf-focused tools pick a different purpose-built Garmin. For multipurpose health monitoring and everyday functionality though, pick Venu 3. It’s a good tool. Integrates well with Apple iPhone too.

great battery life
I have had my Venu 3 for just less than a month now. I have been impressed with its features and especially its battery life. I haven't quite figured out eveything yet for example when I go waling in the morning it seems to be fairly accurate especially compared to what my previous fitbit sense said, However, when I mow the lawn or basically just go places by walking it doesn't seem to track as well. I still haven't figured out the sleep monitoring yet, there are times when i know I have been awake for periods of time at night and in the morning it says I wasn't awake at all. Overall I am still pleased with the watch and have no regrets that I got it to replace my fitbit.

Response from Garmin
Your Garmin watch uses an internal accelerometer that tracks repetitive walking motions as steps, and there are certain activities that prevent your watch from accurately counting steps. In particular, if you're using a push mower to mow the lawn, your watch is unlikely to track many steps because your arm is not swinging. More on that here: http://ms.spr.ly/6425slfIW As for the sleep monitoring, you may need to adjust some settings in your account. In particular, your sleep window can have a big impact on sleep data.

Good watch
I got the watch 2 weeks ago, and have worn it around the clock to check it out. its a good watch, but there are some features that could be improved. it seem the face could have been though through to make it more useable. I bought the watch for the monitor capabilities, but many of the features are so small, like the heart rate, and is covered up by the watch hands at time. I cannot get the heart rate to be a bigger display, and when I use the "heart rate" function, the display is larger, but still small, and will go dark so it cannot be a continuous monitor. the watch has lots of features, but not all are easy to use, and the funtionality is interrupted by the watch itself. seems the software can be more intuitive and user friendly. the numbers on the face are weird, some turned upside down, which is hampered by all of the numbers being 2 digits, instead of just the 2 digit numbers [10, 11, 12]. it seems be an engineers notion of functionality, but is not really functional at all time. and when I am riding my bike and the face goes dark, and I have to use my other hand to bring the face light on when riding. many of the features could have been more thoroughly thought through.
