Q: Is this the 41mm watch band?
submitted by Emily - 2 months ago
A: Hi Emily, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S. The Garmin Venu 3S has a 41mm case size, but the watch band width is 18mm. This can sometimes be a point of confusion. The "41mm" refers to the diameter of the watch itself (the case size), while the band size refers to the width of the strap where it connects to the watch lugs. So, if you're looking for replacement bands for your Garmin Venu 3S, you need to look for 18mm quick-release watch bands. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

I have had my Garmin Venu 3s for a couple weeks and I absolutely love it. The battery life, sleep tracking, and my favorite feature is being able to program my own workouts in the app and be able to record my sets, reps, weight, and rest time all from my watch during my workout!
really nice for me

this is everything (so far) that ive expected in a health watch, there are a few things which I would have liked to be better for my taste. the 3S band for me is a bit on the short size ( its on the last eye but again to my taste i really dont care for the bigger watch face hense the 3S instead of the 3 but i cannot score down due to my taste. the other item (which is on me as well) I use an Elliptical everyday & a few times I have forgotten to turn off the timmer so in my report it appears like im on it for multi hours. wish there was a alert for inactivity. the features from walking (no running for me due to health issues) show the route that was taken i like a lot. this is my first Garmin watch (ive used garmin for several GPS units for the road & biking) & to this point am happy with my decision for this unit. just wish there band was a bit longer

After getting my new watch connected, updated, setup, account registered, etc., I take the next step of installing Connect IQ so I can add apps and watch faces. On every app I see a note that I need the latest firmware to download the app. Which I have. After googling the issue I've discovered that this has been a known, ongoing issue for at least 9 years as of 2025. Known by Garmin development. I know it is hard to believe but it is true. Garmin cannot possibly be serious about selling this device with thos known issue unresolved for about a decade. Going back for refund. It's a shame because for about 10 minutes I thought I had found a meaningful upgrade over my Galaxy Watch. I'm actually still in disbelief that this can actually be an open issue. It's a fundamental usability issue.

A Fitbit user for five years, I decided to "upgrade" to the Venu3S. I have found that it is taking a long time to learn about the features. Reading on my phone or watching YouTube videos is not my best way of learning. This I have found frustrating. I know that I am not using the device to its full capabilities.

The transition from fitbit to venu3s was not as bad as I thought. The running and GPS data is amazing. Finally it matches to the course distance and phone GPS. I do recommend maybe adding a screen protector it feels very delicate.

I made the switch from an apple watch and haven’t regretted it! While an apple watch is a a little more user friendly and to learn, the venu 3s made up for it with all of its features. The battery life is amazing and I love being able to download my music so I can workout without my phone. Plus I can still get all the same notifications I had with my apple watch, so I haven’t looked back

Had thus watch 3 weeks now and I am liking many of the features and monitoring my health and fitness. There is still much to learn about and features I am unsure how to use.
No step count, instructions or cust. service.

The only reason I thought this watch was that I wanted accurate accounts. When I received the watch, there were no instructions. After lunch research, I figured out about half of the functions on the watch, but the others were elusive. The watch would not count my steps on the treadmill. They sell it as stamps, but it doesn’t count steps. I returned it.

I’m eating a jar of pickles with my 32 ounces of water to see if I can avoid a headache today from running outside Every Saturday since I got this stupid watch (June, Houston) I have a headache all day bc I have to run outside for VO2Max reading. Without this watch I would never go outside between March-November. Sure, I look cool with the stylish face options and sleep band and I wake up already feeling accomplished by my sleep score. And I am really enjoying the nap feature, morning wake up alarm and tracking all my cardio and strength training in one spot. I should be hiding inside at a safe 72F but the VO2Max reading is such a temptress. Maybe pickles will help.
Great watch

I have always been an Apple girl. I ordered the Garmin Venu3, it has so many always features but not for me. It wasn’t compatible well with the health and wellness app I use. It was delayed and didn’t add steps correctly to the app. I did decide to send it back.

There are some very nice features, including a crisper screen that I can read better without bifocals. But, the golf app, my primary use, is much worse than my Vivo Active 4S. The distances often don't update as you move away from the tee box. It may even show the entire length of the hole as you are near the green. Shot tracking is terrible. Drives appear to go all the way to the green, despite second and third shots being recorded from the correct place. When distances do show correctly, they are usually 5 yds long. Also disappointing that it's not compatible with the CT1 sensors. Swimming seems OK, but doesn't recognize breast stroke. I'm hoping software updates will improve the apps, but at this point I miss my old Vivo Active 4S.
