Purchased this as an upgrade from Huawei GT 2 which I have enjoyed for the past 4 years. Upon receiving, disappointed by inferior case materials (plastic polymer Vs stainless steel), cheaper look despite being much more expensive (even considering point promotion discount), poorer quality base watchstrap, etc. I returned it the same day I received it. (Kudos to Shoppers for seamless return process!)

I love the versatility of the Venue 3. I can use it as a smart watch and also for training. My first Garmin and I love it.

The watch is great! Accurate tracking. Very good battery life. The app support on Connect IQ could have been better.

I've owned the Venu 3 for about a month and I am so pleased with it! As someone who has owned a smartwatch since the beginning of the technology came out, this is by far my favorite one! My biggest complaint with smartwatches is that most companies try to make it something that could one day replace your phone. I believe most owners are like myself and just want something that is a great companion piece to technology we already own. The Venu 3 does just that. The health metrics are fantastic and have helped me make more informed decisions regarding my overall health. The notifications for things like messages and other apps on my phone are subtle and helpful. This is my first foray into the Garmin smartwatch world and I am now a customer for life!

I've had it for a few weeks and I really enjoy it.

On my Venu 2 after two and half a year was battery KO, so I must upgrade to Venu 3 and - its OK, hope battery will last more, .. Venu 3 gives exactly what you need. Phone calls are useless, music player too, but standard functions are good.

I was somewhat skeptical purchasing this item but am very happy I did. I am not often pleasantly surprised but must admit the Garmin Venu 3 has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Best decision! I recently switched from an Apple Watch Series 7 because I wanted a watch that had a longer battery, sleep tracking, and more accurate fitness reporting. After about a month of use, I am in LOVE. The sleep tracking is incredible, so is the battery life. This watch is perfect. I also wanted to step away from smart watch capabilities, as constant notifications to my Apple Watch was beginning to be too much. The Venu 3 only gets text and calling notifications and it's perfect for me! You can also still use the "Phone My Phone" feature as one can on the Apple Watch! Would recommend to anyone!!

Upgraded from a Fitbit Sense. This watch has most features that the Sense had. There is a bit of a learning curve but once figured out, no issues. The only suggestion I have is to allow Blood Glucose monitoring (for those with diabetes).

I made the switch from Apple watch to Garmin Venu 3 and am happy that I did.
