Too easy to delete workouts unintentionally
This is maybe my 10th Garmin product (maybe more) and it looks nice, but really isn’t good for running, as it is very easy to unintentionally delete a workout. On my prior watches you always had to confirm if you wanted to delete a workout, but this one just deletes if you brush the touchscreen. Not ideal to say the least. I’ve tried to ask Garmin support if I can turn ...

Great except for notifications!
I switched from Apple Watch to Garmin Venu3S for the battery life and it does not disappoint! It’s great except that I have to manual delete every notification!! There should be a Clear All button.

This was my first watch I purchased, sadly I only used it for about 30 minutes, It would not connect to my phone after months of research sadly I returned it and will wait for another sale to repurchase it,(Yes I asked support, restarted, everything) as I bought on special and it went up to regular price. The color was everything and it was not heavy I am 4'11'' and it ...

Love the sleep feature
Got this for Christmas and love it. Took me sometime to get use to the feeling of it on my wrist but now it’s like it’s not there anymore. Love the sleep tracker the most. Haven’t taken it out on a run yet but I’m sure it’ll work great.

Features and fit are exceptional
I have been wearing my new Garmin3s for over a month now. I use the gps function for walking 3 or more times per week and have charged the battery twice. So far battery is very good at holding a charge even with phone calls connected and messaging

Amazing and stylish!
Husband bought it for me for Christmas. I previously had a Lily 2 and Apple. This is by far the best battery life and most accurate.

My Second Garmin Watch
My original watch was wearing out. I didn't look at any other brands but researched Garmin diligently for an upgrade that was right for me. Chose the Venu 3S over the Fenix 8 by a narrow margin. Still learning the new aspects but loving my decision. Really like the new features and the old ones with new twists/graphics.
Only wish at this point is that syncing to ...

Sad!
Loved it until the battery life sucked! Had the watch just over a year, and loved it. Then all of a sudden battery just dies in less then a day when it used to last 5 days! GPS was great and loved the lifting features that counts your sets. I want to get another but worry about the battery doing the same thing. This is an expensive watch for the battery not to last.....

Great watch but screen burn only a year in
I love my Garmin venu 3s. My first Garmin watch. I bought it when I started my running journey to run my first half marathon. I love the sleeping feature as well. A year in, I have terrible screen burn and can barely see anything now. Not a cheap watch for this to happen only a year in.

Awesome watch
Excellent tracking capabilities. Easy to read texts and notifications. Great battery life (typically 11-12 days) and charges in 1-2 hours.

Fantastic watch
Have had this watch for about a year now and absolutely love it. Had the Vivoactice 3 for about 4 years and upgraded to this one. The only negative is that the screen isn’t super great in protecting from scratches. It got scratched in the first 2 months. But otherwise love the watch and highly recommend.

It saved my life
I thought I felt funny. Bought the Garmin for health stats. EKG app identified me in Afib for more than 14 hours. I was able to download the ekg charts to my cardiologist and had an ablation
