It’s just okay, honestly like Apple Watch better. The gps takes forever to load and for cycling, it’s never accurate. Not worth the money in my opinion

doesn't work for golf
The golf app has not worked correctly since I bought it I can't get connected to the phone. The only way I was able to download one course was to reset to factory defaults. It worked ok for a year now it is not working again. The bluetooth conflicts with my car's bluetooth I can't have them both paired at tje same time it is a complete pain to use.

Great watch
I'm loving it. Use every day to monitor my progress and used for the first time on a trail run last week. It was a much needed upgrade

So far, I’m loving it… it has been a great help. I love how bright and clear the screen is.

I Left Fitbit for Garmin — and I’m Not Going Back
I recently switched from Fitbit to the Garmin Venu 3S, and I am extremely happy with the change. What has surprised me most is how useful the watch is in everyday life. I can glance at my wrist and see the weather and my next calendar event—two things I used to ask my Amazon Echo about constantly. Text notifications are also genuinely useful. When a website sends me a verification code, it appears right on my wrist instead of requiring me to go find my phone. I’m also enjoying the health and activity information much more than I expected. The Body Battery sounded gimmicky to me at first, but it has actually corresponded remarkably well with how energetic or depleted I feel. Intensity Minutes have been fascinating because they’ve shown me how much moderate activity I get simply from everyday life—yard work, stairs, and even my habit of attacking household chores in 15-minute bursts. I like being able to see my heart rate in real time and learn more about what my body is doing without having to treat every bit of movement as a formal “workout.” The watch itself is attractive, comfortable, and easy to customize. I’ve changed what appears on the watch face, adjusted how long the display stays on, customized buttons and shortcuts, and turned off features I don’t find useful. Battery life has also been good enough that charging it briefly while I shower works well for me. Not every Garmin metric is valuable to me. Sleep Coach hasn't told me anything particularly interesting, and I'm still deciding whether Recovery will be useful. But that's actually something I like about the Garmin: there is a lot available, and I can choose the information that matters to me rather than having to use everything. I bought the Venu 3S primarily as a replacement for my Fitbit. I didn't expect to enjoy it nearly this much. It has become one of those rare pieces of technology that makes several small parts of my day noticeably easier.

Not completely satisfied...
I won't say I hate the watch, but I'm not thrilled with it either. The biggest positive takeaway is the battery life. I can't see how anyone would complain about that. Beats my Apple Watch hands down. Now for the negatives... According to my Garmin Watch, I'm half dead. My body battery NEVER climbs above 50, even after sleeping. Which brings me to my next point. My sleep score is never above a 50. Whether I get 6 hours or 9 hours, my sleep is sometimes poor, most times fair, and only once or twice was it good. I rarely toss and turn, I never recall waking up, yet I can't seem to sleep well. When I wore an Apple Watch for the same thing, I seemed to have considerably higher scores. My stress levels run rather high as well, even though I am retired and have no stress that I am aware of. I average between 50 and 60 on a normal day, 100 while driving. (That one I can see). Truth is, I went with a Garmin for two reasons. One, the extraordinary battery life. The Apple Watch is harder to work with because I wear it all day, but then still want to wear it to bed to track my sleep. Charging can sometimes be an issue. There is no issue with the Garmin. The other reason I went with it is because after almost 20 years, I switched from iPhone to a Samsung/Android device that wouldn't have played well with my Apple Watch. I love the Android device, but wish the Garmin did more than it does. I also wish I had a way of knowing if the sleep, stress, and body battery results were anywhere near accurate.

I like it way better than my Fitbit, however I wish Garmin would include use instructions instead of the important customer having to search for directions.

Great features and size
Love this watch. Such a huge improvement from my Garmin 935 Forerunner. The Venu 3S is a perfect size for women.

Good, Some Hiccups
Good overall. Similar features to the Fenix 3. It’s had 3 sleep data errors, claiming I slept for 26 minutes one night. Also, I biked and it shows a move event, but not an official event. I cannot get this to switch to an official event.

Venu 3S First Impression has been positive
I bought the Venu 3S a few weeks back to replace a fitness tracker from another manufacturer. I was looking for a product that was more robust without sacrificing the health data provided. So far the Venu 3S seems to be a quality product with a wealth of health information stored/provided in a logical manner. Time will tell, but first impression has been positive.

Even Grandmas Love Garmins!
I love my Venu 3S! I purchased it about a month ago as a replacement for my very tired Venu 2S. I really like the Venu watches, and the S versions are great for my little wrist. I'm a long-time Garmin watch owner and my first was the FR70 in 2011. Every watch release just gets better! The screen is super bright, which is very nice on my old eyes. I love the constant upgrades to the health metrics and the new features that connect with my phone. I have not used them all yet. One thing I love is that when I get text messages on my phone that have pictures of my grandbaby, I can see them on my watch! I even made a cute Connect IQ Face It watch face with the cutest picture of my grandbaby. I'm hoping to have many more Garmin watches in the future that will help me stay healthy for my growing family!

Poor user interface
Poor user interface. The first email you get from Garmin is good. Don't download the user manual as jumps into details about activities before they tell you some of the basic menu moves. They kind have got things backwards. It is very hard to learn how to use this watch by trial a error like you can a Fitbit.

Fabulous Watch- But Not for Golfers
My husband LOVED his new Garmin watch. The features are wonderful. He had a FitBit for over 10 years, and was looking for something with extended battery life and great metrics- this watch is all that AND it is very attractive. However, the first time that he wore the watch was on a golf day. Half way through the round, he noticed that the face was cracked (there had been no impact incidents). Garmin does not replace watch faces- so we returned the watch, thinking it was a fluke. When He got his replacement Garmin watch, we put a face protector on the watch, before he put it on. Then the exact same thing happened. The face cracked on the first hole. Seems to be a design issue.

Gold peeling around watch face
Initially really liked this watch, but the gold around the watch face is already starting to peel, and I have had it just over a month. Poor quality.
