Garmin Venu® 3 Smartwatch

I had a Venu 2 Plus and I liked it but I did not think the heart rate was super accurate. The Venu 3 is better in every way including heart rate tracking. Super comfortable.

This is my second Garmin watch. The first was an Instinct and this watch is so much better. For fitness I primarily hike and walk. The heart rate monitor on this watch is accurate and very responsive. As soon as I start hiking uphill, for example, I can see the bright display indicating an increase. The old watch, frankly, annoyed me because the HR monitor was inconsistent or non responsive. The GPS seems to be very sensitive. I can walk around a tree making a 10ft circle and it will show on the app. It also tracks speed very closely. And distances are consistent. If I hike/walk a route and then duplicate it exactly the next day, the mileage may only be off 1/100th mile over a several mile walk and that could easily be me. So I’m very happy with the watch for tracking fitness. And I like the Garmin Connect App. While I’m working I use timers and the stop watch. All those features are easy to use. The watch is very intuitive, easy to figure out. I charge it for about an hour Saturday nights and after a week it’s still got 50% battery. For me it’s the perfect watch. Everything I want, nothing I don’t. Just the right size. Easy to use. I love it.

I replaced my Venu 2 with the Venu 3 this year and am very happy with the performance and improvements in the series. It was very easy to set up and transition to. All the features I have come to love in the Venu series are even better with the 3.

Great watch. Definitely an upgrade ro the Vwnu 2 I had. It does everything I need it to do and then some. Great price point as well.

I bought this nearly a month ago and it continues to offer even better qualities than my Venu 2 that I sold for about half of what it cost me to upgrade to the new Venu 3. This is only of my favorite possessions because I use several apps nearly every day.

I absolutely love my Garmin Venu 4. I transitioned from the more stats-driven Instinct 2 Solar, and while that watch was powerful, the Venu 4’s touchscreen and intuitive interface make a huge difference in everyday use. Starting activities is fast and seamless without needing to press multiple buttons, which is perfect for gym classes and quick transitions. On top of that, the Venu 4 is sleek, modern, and stylish, making it easy to wear all day, at the gym, at work, or out and about. Most importantly, I still get the key training and health statistics I’ve come to rely on, all wrapped in a clean, polished design that doesn’t feel bulky or overly technical.

I got this as a Christmas present and while I love the update, I found that I cannot find all the activities that my Garmin 255 had. I could create one, but I’m concerned that the datapoints will not be the same. For example. Run is just run. Ther is no trail run. So either I’m Hiking in the woods or running in the woods.

My old Samsung 3 stopped working. Hated the 2-4 day battery life. The Venu 3 is fantastic with a + 12day battery life. It is lighter and smaller than my old watch.
