Venu 3, 45mm GPS smartwatch, AMOLED touchscreen, all-day advanced health & fitness features, voice functionality, music storage, up to 14 days battery life, Black

I'm Very Happy with this watch! its brand new and it work perfectly The shipping was super fast and it arrived right on time, which was great. The screen is really bright and easy to read, and it makes tracking my steps, heart rate, and sleep totally effortless. I was worried I’d have to charge it every night, but the battery lasts for days, which is a huge relief. It's comfortable to wear, looks great, and all my phone notifications pop up right away without any issues. If you want a solid, reliable watch that works perfectly straight out of the box, you will love this one. Highly recommend!

10/10 best purchase I've made in years. Only take it off to recharge every 7 days. I have reasonably skinny wrists at 7" around. The watch is the perfect size, however I will probably choose the 43mm if I ever upgrade for the bigger screen. I work a physical job on sites and have hit it on vans, walls and rocks whilst digging. So far I have 1 tiny scratch (barely noticeable in certain lights), and some paint stuck in the rim where I hit it on the door frame. I've ran 200km and had perfect interactions with it even whilst sweaty. Worn swimming twice and all good. I wear the rubber strap and clean it daily in the shower. The recovery time feature is pretty inaccurate as that should be tracked around your upcoming work/exercise. However, the HRV, body battery and sleep score is fantastic! As somebody who has struggled with staying up late for 16 years (at the cost of my health) and was averaging 4.5 hours sleep a night. These stats make it much easier to put personal limits into perspective. Hoping the Venu 3s lasts me for years but I'd 100% buy another the same day if I ever lost/broke this one.

I’ve been using the Garmin Venu 3S for a while now and it’s honestly such a great smartwatch. The design is sleek and comfortable, perfect for everyday wear, and the battery life is impressive. I love how accurate the fitness tracking is, especially for steps, heart rate, and sleep. The display is bright and easy to read, and the health insights are really helpful for staying on track. Overall, it’s a reliable and stylish companion for both workouts and daily life!

Coming from Apple Watch 9 (owned every series since 3 and upwards) this watch was a game changer. Installation was, dare I say even easier than setting up an Apple Watch. The battery is fantastic without the Always-on-Display and SOp2 enabled. Lasts up to 12 days without activities, about 6-7 days with activities every other day. A hell of an upgrade from Apple Watch single day battery life. The screen is beautiful, it's fluid, smooth and crisp, the size is absolutely perfect for me - it almost ticks every box. What chips away a star from the rating. Missing features. Venu 3 is supposed to be Garmin's kind of smart watch, less of a training partner. It explains why it doesn't have training readiness and training status, features that are a must have for "hard core" users. Something I really wish I could have. No problem, but then why did Garmin decide that the "smart watch" doesn't get "smart" features like Smart Alarm? That doesn't sound smart. For golfers it might work if you know the course layout as it shows you the distance to green, but no maps available. It has happened frequently that the watch closes and saves an activity I paused, no way to stop it from auto saving. Stupid. Summary: Venu 3 is kind of a smart watch, but also kind of a decent training partner. It’s not great at anything but not bad at anything either. For me, it gets the job done, but I’d be happy to pay £30 extra to unlock the features I’m missing; however, I don’t want that suddenly turning into Garmin getting some ideas, like subscription locking features. It's a £300-325 watch, no more. So MSRP of £400 is insane. Had I paid £400 it would have been a 3-star review. At £250 it would be 5-stars. I paid £302 so I think 4-stars is fair.

I bought this to replace my mark 1 Venu. So far, I'm very impressed. It's comfortable to wear, holds its charge for days, and has loads more functions than the original. Activities are easy to set up and operate, and it downloads to the Garmin App on my phone easily. I like the way the brightness drops at nighttime, but I do find the daily sleep assessment very irritating. I got it at a decent price, and the pain was lessened further by using some vouchers! All in all, so far, I'm quite pleased with my upgrade.

I’ve used smartwatches from Fossil and a few other brands with the Google WOS - decent, but never impressive. They always felt a bit sluggish, and the battery life rarely stretched past 24 hours. It got to the point where I was questioning the point of owning a smartwatch I had to babysit. So I started exploring other options - almost like a far cry from what I was used to. Honestly, Garmin was never on my radar. The models I’d seen didn’t grab my attention... until the Venu 3. This is my first Garmin, and wow - it’s everything I wanted and more. - Battery life: 10 days or more on a single charge. That alone is a game-changer. - Features: Sleep tracking, stress monitoring, body battery - tools I didn’t know I needed but now rely on. - Workouts: A massive library of routines, plus the ability to customise sets, reps, and intervals. - Watchfaces: Tons of options, and I love being able to match my mood or outfit. - Durability: I swim in the sea regularly, even in low temperatures, and it’s never skipped a beat. Garmin keeps rolling out software updates, refining existing features and adding new ones. The only downside? The interface isn’t fully consistent across all apps. But that’s a minor gripe in an otherwise stellar experience. If this is what Garmin brings to the table, I’m already excited for what Venu 4 might offer.

I have been using fitness bands for the last few years to track my daily routine and my occasional outdoor exercises (cycling and hiking mostly). I wanted to have a watch instead of a band and tried some Fitbit devices but they were too buggy. I mulled over this watch for a long time due to the price, but to be honest, once I got it, I can honestly say it's the perfect one for me. I use it all day and night to track my daily routine and sleep. Body battery is accurate since when it shows being close to 0, I really do feel like my energy is gone completely. Morning reports on the watch are a nice touch to get a quick feel of what your sleep quality was and also what's in store for the day ahead. Never had any issues with the watch during exercises, the data it captures is accurate and very detailed. The mobile app is really good and the connection to the watch is seamless, never have I struggled to sync anything (hear this Fitbit?). Battery life is about 1 week when doing 4-5 exercises that use GPS too, so pretty good. You have access to some default watch faces, get some from the store or even design your one. To be honest, I've recommended this watch to friends that wanted a smart watch, since although it's from Garmin, you don't have to be an athlete to use one.

The watch itself is fantadtic,nice and light, easy to see and use, love the buttons which are eady accessible. (All my hardware is update and working, signal strength excellent). Issues Connectivity, no matter what it was plugged into it would lose connection within seconds. Wifi, phone, laptop. Stopped syncing with everything., this was just the setup, no customising. 1.Watch updates must be done from the watch, not the app. 2. Software updated, kept locking up and stopping, watch freezing, had to hard rest 4 times. It tuck over 8 hours to update the watch due to disconnections, excluding customisation. After installed the update watch went slow, it had lag. 3. The passcode was a nightmare, setting it up was seconds, however if you wanted to change anything you would be asked for the passcode then make the changes. This watch kept asking for the passcode no matter what.at first I thought Im putting it in incorrectly so I did it wrong and I was told it was wrong atleast that worked. So lucky we could turn it off in the app. 4. Space limitations, ran out of space after 3 new watch faces added, even after removing the ones which were preinstalled. Why not do what others do allow u to put what you want on instead of limitting space. 5.disconnection alerts when you move away from your phone did not work, funny thing was it worked when you were next to your phone. 6. Battery, seems to go really fast, 19% in 5mins was bad. 7. No security tag on box, the watch face cover was in the box not on the watch itself. Labels on box say new, ive never had any labels state this on any brand new product. Ive had it on renrwed, refurbished products. I can only assume I had a faulty product. My friend as the same watch its works fantastic, looks amazing does the job.

parfais , j'en suis contente

I bought this to replace my aging Fitbit Sense, which wasn't charging well anymore. It had the promise of using the phone's voice assistant, which was better than the Sense 2 which only has access to Alexa now. It's Bixby given I'm on a Samsung phone, but it's better than Alexa and it can control stuff on the phone remotely from the watch which is a cool bonus. I did not have any appreciation for the massive difference in health tracking between a Fitbit and a Garmin when I pressed Buy Now. Every feature of the Fitbit is here in some form, both subscription features like readiness score (recovery) and enhanced sleep metrics to all of the basic stuff. Lots of things that are restricted to while you're asleep on the Fitbit work at all times on the Garmin, like respiration and blood oxygen. The sensor and LEDs on this are much bigger than on a fitbit and are much more sensitive to highs and lows in heart rate that fitbit can't pick up. The stress detection and body battery features are really cool and seem accurate. Fitness age presents an unflattering but likely pretty accurate picture of my health after wearing the watch for a few days. Everything is customizable on the watch and in the Garmin app; there is even a feature to design your own watch face with a photo background of your choice and the placement of the watch elements and complications where you choose them. You can put what is important to you front and center and you can ignore anything you don't care about. Both the watch and the app require a bit of messing around to get things looking the way you would like, but it's easy and I had fun poking at the watch for hours making everything perfect. There are a LOT of pre made watch faces included with assorted complications, some of them configurable and some not. The one pictured is not configurable but it displays exactly the stats I want and looks good. There are several included faces that look great so you aren't forced into their store right away. It is ironic that there is a working YouTube Music app for Garmin watches but not for the top of the line fitbits. I have loaded my likes playlist to the watch, which loaded almost 300 songs in the same order they are in on the YM app. This took a while and I left the watch plugged in while it downloaded over wifi. Connecting headphones was really easy and I set the "shortcut" swipe from left side to open the music player. I have used the watch to listen to music instead of my phone on some walks and it's a great experience. I am very fond of this. It's an upgrade in every way from a Fitbit Sense. It's the Samsung phone of fitness trackers with all of the bells, whistles and options you could ask for and some you didn't know you wanted before you got the watch. Worth the 600 bucks.

Amazing battery life. 7 day with one charge. Looks better than apple

Me decidí por el Garmin Venu 3 porque Garmin es, en mi opinión, una de las mejores marcas en relojes enfocados al deporte, destacando especialmente por la cantidad y calidad de métricas que ofrece. A nivel deportivo, el reloj es muy completo. Permite obtener datos como pulsaciones medias, velocidad, calorías, cadencia en carrera y, algo que considero especialmente importante, el tiempo de recuperación tras la actividad, una métrica clave para evitar el sobreentrenamiento. En el apartado de salud, ofrece información muy útil como la calidad del sueño (diferenciando sueño ligero, profundo y REM), el nivel de estrés, el Body Battery (una estimación del nivel de energía del cuerpo a lo largo del día en función del descanso y la actividad) y la VFC (Variabilidad de la Frecuencia Cardíaca), que aporta datos sobre el estado de recuperación y el equilibrio del sistema nervioso. Además, el reloj es capaz de realizar pequeños electrocardiogramas, algo muy destacable en este segmento. Aunque hoy en día muchos relojes pueden montar buenos sensores, en mi experiencia eso no es suficiente. Lo realmente importante es que esos datos estén bien interpretados. Sin una marca con años de desarrollo, investigación y mejora continua del firmware y de la aplicación, los datos que proporcionan los sensores pueden ser confusos o poco fiables. En este aspecto, Garmin marca una clara diferencia, ya que su aplicación móvil transforma toda esa información en datos claros, coherentes y realmente útiles, algo que no todas las marcas consiguen. En cuanto a funciones “smart”, el Venu 3 cuenta con micrófono y altavoz, lo que permite contestar llamadas si el teléfono está dentro del alcance del Bluetooth, además de recibir mensajes y notificaciones. Otro punto clave es la autonomía. La batería dura en torno a dos semanas, algo fundamental para mí, ya que llevo el reloj puesto las 24 horas del día. Tener que cargarlo a diario un dispositivo de este tipo, para mi sería sencillamente, inaceptable. Conclusión: Es un smartwatch muy completo, con excelentes sensores, una aplicación sobresaliente y una autonomía que marca la diferencia. No le encuentro puntos negativos y es una compra de la que estoy muy satisfecho, por lo que lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Been using the watch for 8 months and I absolutely love it. I wear it 24/7 and it does feel comfty enough not to disturb my sleep. Appreciate the insights into my life and sleep patterns. Apart from tracking my runs I use the app to plan my weight lifting session. I then just let the watch keep track on reps/sets and rest. Battery is exceptional, I charge it for perhaps 15 minutes every day when I shower which is enough to charged it to +85%. Once a week I charge it to full.
