First day
Just got the venu 3 and I'm trying to figure it out. Can't seem to find a way to use a 4 digit passcode for the lock screen. If it's stolen or lost can anyone get access to my information?? My wife Apple watch has a passcode for access!! Please help.

Good product but...
1. The bottoms to cancel or confirm an activity are very sensitive. I must to be super careful to avoid tou h them.even with my shirt sleeves or just passing hands over the watch unintentionally. 2. Sometimes the watch send messages with no sense: i.e., I walked for couple ours and I'm eating or just quiet and the watch tell me "time to move" Still to new for me but I'm sure Garmin can improve this and more issues

Venu 3 Whitestone with Silver Bezel
I have been wearing this Venu 3 watch for over a month. (Female wrist approx 6.6"). It came with a beautiful bright white and silver silicone watch band. It is comfortable without being too bulky. I'm a 1st time Garmin customer. The watch was easy to figure out straight from the box. I enjoy all of the fitness metrics both on the watch and in the app. It offers lots of motivation tools such as reminders to move and badges to earn. I wish there was a white nylon band that I could purchase to switch out sometimes. Can't find one anywhere.

Awesome features
I am absolutely loving this watch! The screen is just amazing! The apps are awesome! My Venu sq was starting to lose battery very quickly so I decided to get this Venu 3 because my husband loves his. I was afraid the watch was going to be too big for my wrist but it is just right. I love the bright screen and it's so easy to read. We snowboard so the altimeter is going to be great and the battery life is so good. I am so impressed with this watch.

Great watch
The watch works awesome, love the features. If your looking for a watch to monitor your workouts, use on the golf course then this is it. The only downfall is that you can not text from the watch using iMessage, you have to use garmin messenger which isn’t ideal. Phone numbers have to be downloaded the the watch, it doesn’t use your iPhone phone book.

Music won’t work when exercising
The watch does everything well. However, when trying to listen to Amazon Music while running, the music slows down to half speed and breaks up. Unacceptable. I would not recommend this watch to anyone who wants to listen to music while using the running app on the watch.

Problems galore
I am on my second venue 3. The first one continually froze up. The second one is also having issues. I have owned 3 Forerunners and we’ll go back to a forerunner as soon as this one either becomes so nonfunctioning that it warrants a new purchase.
