Great health tracking
I got this watch about a month ago and I am loving all the features! I got this watch primarily for tracking my sleep score, steps and daily activity but it has much more capability. If you take the time to setup, you can customize features that provide useful health information. The watch faces are excellent. By linking to my phone, I can get notifications when I am aw...

Workout tracking
I bought this a month ago and I’m extremely disappointed.. I got it to measure sleep and heart rate and the sensor on this one may be faulty.. constantly saying my heart rate is 100+ and only getting 3 hours of sleep (so I recorded myself for a whole week and got 7 hours of sleep.. while the garmin said 3.5 hours… or wouldn’t even measure sleep) I should’ve gotten the v...

Excellent fitness watch
I've had this almost a month now (replacing my Venu 2). I absolutely love it. Bright display, multiple features and increased number of workout trackers, and great battery life. Well worth what I spent. (And my wife has been thrilled with hers too.)

Great features
I purchased my Venu 3 shortly after it became available. It replaced my Vivoactive 4. I was most interested in the ECG App.
My biggest disappointment is the "raised" face that scratches very easily. Within a few months of purchase the face looked very bad.

Exchange/upgrade?
Poorest model, being my fourth Garmin watch; it doesn’t allow me to answer phone calls and isn’t monitoring my sleep correctly (having been very pleased with my prior Instinct Solar). I’ve had the Venu 3 for just less than three months; can it be exchanged/pay for upgrade to the Venu 4, please?

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.
On the con side, The treadmill function could be more accurate, but is correctable. It does question all the other distances you may walk inside. I wish the flash light feature was better. The integration with an iPhone for...

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.
