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

I have been really impressed with the Garmin Venu 3S. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and packed with features. The GPS is accurate, and the heart rate and sleep tracking are spot on. The display is bright and easy to read, even outdoors. Battery life is fantastic, I get almost a week on one charge. The app is detailed but easy to navigate. Overall, a great smartwatch for anyone serious about health and fitness

I'm not a runner nor a sportsman. I'm 83 years old and the watch keeps me informed of some vital signs such as heart rate, ECG, daily activity and sleep pattern. It does, though, have an annoying habit of telling me to move immediately after some gentle exercise! The bike ride app works well, and records what I have done and where I have been pretty accurately. In addition, so long as I am not using apps that link to GPS, the battery life is around 11 days.

This is a great watch! It is much improved on my previous garmin. It's smoother, easier to navigate and the battery life is amazing. I bought this one for my wife, this is the smaller version and she loves it. Back in 2018 she got an iwatch and I got the Garmin Vivoactive 3. They were life changing at the time, as we were very active in the gym and outside. It was clear that my wife preferred many of the functions on my watch that the iwatch didn't have, although hers did look much better. My Garmin had battery issues back in 2021 and the iwatch screen got a crack in it last year (2024). So, a few years on, we are less active and want to get back to it. But I lacked the motivation. Then I remembered how I used to monitor my sleep, heart rate and training sessions on the watch and thought...maybe a new smart watch will give me the get up off the sofa I need. So I researched the best smart watches of 2024 & 2025...and this one kept coming up. So I bought two (2) this one for my wife and the larger one for me. They are brilliant, the Garmin App is much improved too, much easier to record my gym sessions. This watch can monitor your HRV, it can provide a sleep coach, it's is sleek and stylish, and is better at dealing with messages and calls. I highly recomment this watch!

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.

This watch is more a smart watch than a fitness watch, which suits me fine as it does everything I need plus extras if needed. Some reviews say it's not overly. Accurate on some stats BUT, comparing the figures to a hospital oximeter mine at least is pretty much bang on. How you wear it makes no difference either on the outside or the inside of the wrist, set it for the functions you personally want to see, and forget the rest. No electronics like being overworked. I have the Venu 3s and it's size is perfect for the smaller wrist, the strap is soft and comfortable to wear, although it has a speaker and microphone it is still waterproof/showerproof. Battery? ... After 3 days it has only lost 14% of a full charge and during that 3 days had been 'played with' and explored extensively. It can change watch face to a low energy or dim red display at night time if desired, it can give a morning briefing if desired, it also integrated seamlessly with my Samsung phone, the Garmin app is flawless and keeps everything in check including updates, downloadable content and a full breakdown of all recorded data from the watch itself. Value for money? Five stars Battery life? Five stars User friendly? Five stars Looks? Personal downloadable choice Overall quality? Five stars If you want a smart watch the Venu 3s by Garmin is my number 1 choice. Recommended.

Absolutely delighted with my new Garmin Smartwatch Venu 3S !!! Easy to set up with the Garmin Connect App ✅ Very comprehensive hints & tips for optimum useage on the App & on the Garmin website ✅ I ordered the smallest and most discreet size with the 41mm watch face and the 18mm wide strap in French Grey I have subsequently ordered the Italian Cream Leather interchangeable quick fit strap to wear for ‘going out’ to be a little more elegant than daily/gym/fitness use Overall, I have made a great choice, and I am delighted !!!

Now having used this watched for over a year I am in love with it. Only complaint is it leaves a mark on your hand if you wear it to sleep. Has decent battery even after a year, lasts me 7 to 9 days before I charge it fully. I love the morning reports which has the weather, my sleep factors etc. The watch faces that are cute are really lacking in options but that is a Garmin issue nothing to do with the watch. I am happy with this watch with looks beautiful and also functional and a powerhouse.

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.

Garmin Venu 3 45mm – Fitness-Smartwatch, 1,4" AMOLED-Touchdisplay: Ich habe mich in diese Fitness-Smartwatch verliebt: Sie ist elegant, praktisch und der Akku hält bei zehn Tagen aktiver Nutzung der Uhr durch. Ich bin mit der Funktionalität der Uhr rundum zufrieden, insbesondere mit der Klarheit der Herzfrequenzmessung, der Body Battery-Option und der Schlafqualitätsbestimmung. Ich habe mich für schwarze Farbe entschieden und finde diese Uhr modisch. Sie sieht schön und modern aus. Vorteile: 🌿 Die Schrift ist groß genug und die Nachrichten sind gut lesbar. 🌿 Format und Hintergrundbild des Displays lassen sich auswählen. 🌿 Nachdem ich die Uhr mit dem Handy verbunden hatte, wählte ich die gewünschten Sportarten aus und installierte die benötigten Apps. 🌿 Alles funktioniert einwandfrei und die Nachrichten kommen pünktlich an. Die Sportart lässt sich einfach auswählen und das Training kann gestartet werden. 🌿 Während des Trainings werden der Kalorienverbrauch und der Puls gemessen. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

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

My wife likes it. Mission accomplished. For detailed reviews and its capabilities compared to instinct, fenix, etc, I encourage looking up reddit or youtube rather than the amazon review section.
