All the features I need
I was looking for a watch that has 10+ days battery life and integrates with my other Garmin products, Edge520 and InReach Messenger+. It provides all the health data I would want and is a decent looking watch at a good price. I do hiking, biking and kayaking. At my age 66, I can choose watch faces that are easy to read while on the go, without needing to put on reading glasses. I like to monitor heart rate, Sp02, and ECG.

Great for exercise activities
The Venu 3 is the ideal watch for me. I’ve been searching for a watch that helped me keep up with my all my exercise activities, and had a long battery life before needing to recharge. This watch is exactly what I was searching for and needed. I’m extremely happy with my Venu 3 and often recommend it to others.

Great Update
Stepped up from Venu 2 so while a lot of familiar features are still available, there are more details and coaching available to enhance the information you can use.

Love this watch!
I've had an Apple watch for several years. Got tired of the same style and features for increasing amounts of money and decided to look around. The Garmin is stylish, light and easy to wear, packed with features I use and pretty easy to navigate once I spent a little time with it. I have an iPhone and was worried about connectivity but it has been great. I can see texts, calls, calendars, etc. Very happy with this purchase.

Great tracking
I bought this with the impression I could make and take phone calls and text messages with having Apple and that is not the case. I love the tracking features on this phone and will keep it for those reasons. Just wish I would have done a little more research when purchasing it.

Very good watch
This Venu 3 was my birthday present this year from my wife as I wanted a Garmin with more health related features than my old Garmin. I’m happy with it so far. Only thing missing is solar charging ability.
