Great Watch!
One of the best watches I've owned. Had fitbits previously, wife had an apple watch...none of them compare to Garmin, it flat-out works. Great features, and it does exactly what I want it too!

Good watch
I have very much enjoyed the Venu 3. It appears reasonably accurate calculating steps outside. It has all of the Smart functions I would want.

Excellent watch for all my activities, including gym workouts, hiking, swimming, backpacking, etc. Very easy to set up and I like all the dat options I have. Excellent screen design and options. My only concern here is that this watch requires more frequent charging than my Instinct Solar, even though it’s not in GPS mode.

Wise purchase
I upgraded from the Venue 2, primarily for the afib function. Haven't really worked out with it yet but looking forward to the experience. So far very pleased with the watch's performance.

Venu 3 replacement
I bought the Venu 3 (renewed) a month ago to replace my 265 which was sporadically failing to track my sleep. The Venu 3 did everything I needed including tracking my workouts, sleep, ekg, and heart rate. The feature of creating a custom watchface has not materialized. I have tried several times, watched you tube descriptions. I was unable to make it work. The notificat...

Great Watch, Great Value
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.

Great everyday watch
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 inconsis...

Jam-packed with all the features I need
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.

I loved the Venu 2 and the Venu 3 is even better
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.

Great battery life and features
Received for Christmas gift and appreciate the great battery life. I had a Fitbit which was much smaller and also very good battery life, but this watch is bigger and has a lot more features but wish it paired with an Apple iphone better.

Sleek, modern and stylish!
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.

Missing activites
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

Excellent upgrade
Bought this as a step up from my 2+ year old Forerunner 45, and only regret that I waited so long to do it. Easy to use, tons of useful features with plenty of customization options. 100% would recommend

Watch sensor
My review is based off of the sensor not being accurate with the heart rate goes on and off throughout the day it doesn’t catch you’re sleeping at night although the watches put on tight but not too tight. It just sucks. I threw away the box. And now I can’t get a refund sucks.

Good watch but some things I’m frustrated with
I got this a couple weeks ago and it’s pretty solid with battery life and some features like the ekg app. The sleep tracking is terrible with it barely recording any rem for me. It usually says I get less than an hour of rem each night which I know is wrong

Good afternoon! I attached some helpful articles about how our watches track sleep data:

Great life style companion
I been using this device for some time, day and night. It’s an awesome watch, it can measure how good is your sleeping, it can recommend when you need to sleep more time, do some exercise or breath and relaxation exercises to improve sleep. Also, it is capable to tell how much stress is present through all day. All this measures leads to one great data: body battery. Th...
