Great watch, still learning
I've always used the apple watch, but I couldn't monitor my sleep progress because I always had to take it off to charge. The Garmin Venu 3, is a great watch that helps me monitor my overall health, and workout.

Scratches too easily. Beware. Otherwise great
I've had many Garmin watches and recently tried a Samsung and their hardware/software did not compare. The Venu 3 is accurate for steps, stairs and oxygen sats (compared with hospital oximeter). Expect it will work well with my bike sensors but have not tried yet. BUT, I wear it gently, never when doing anything manual yet the face has 3 scratches already. Per the Garmin website I have not tried anything aside from a microfiber cloth but still they are there. Not sure if I received a defective device or they all have this problem. Aside from this it is a great watch but regretting my decision now.

Pretty but Not Compatible with Features
I bought this garmin a few weeks ago once my apple watch stopped working. After a month of researching both Venu3 and Forerunner965, I made my decision after watching many runners on social media claim to love this watch and explaining how much better it is than an apple watch. While this might be true, I wasn't aware that this watch would fall short on some key Garmin features that are key for runners. After spending an hour mapping out my courses for the week and deciding on a Pace Pro strategy, it turns out it's not compatible with my Gamin device. So while this is better than an Apple watch, I should have gone with the Forerunner.

Screen options
Have this watch for about 3 weeks now. If everything's pretty great, but I wish there was better options for the screen view. One?

My new favorite watch
I have had my Garmin Venu 3 for a few weeks now and have really enjoyed it. It is my first smart watch, so I can't compare it with other smart watches, only against going without a smart watch. I love getting my phone notifications on my wrist. It is also nice to be get notifications without disturbing those around me. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the sleep tracking feature. I knew I needed to get more sleep, but now I can't deny it... I know the facts. I'm not a very active person, so I can't speak to all of the activity tracking features, though there seems to be a bunch of activities it is setup to track. The battery life is also awesome. The one time I take it off is when I shower and if I plug it in for that short time every few days the watch stays fully charged. I did update the band, as the rubber version that it comes with makes my wrist sweat. But that is a common band for this type of watch and it was easy and cheap to find an alternative specific to this watch.

The ECG doesn’t work in Guatemala
I love the watch, but I’m disappointed with the ECG, doesn’t work in Guatemala, that’s sad.

Great device for most consumers and fitness folks!
I have owned almost every Garmin watch over the years (fenix' and venus and others) and much prefer them to any other fitness/smart watch brand. They are more durable and offer way way better batter life than the apple watch - I even had the ultra. (I'm a toal tech nerd) I've tried polar and suunto and others as well and always end up back at Garmin. My current go to is the Epix 2 and althoug I like the Venu, I prefer the Epix - for me it has more analysis features and maps compared to the Venu 3. But like I said, for most users the data and features of the Venu 3 are going to be plenty!! It has great battery life, amazing screen and tons of features!! Garmin wins the world of fitness/smart wearables hands down every time! Believe me, I've tried them all!!

Venu 3
The watch is very good. The tracking of sleep and sleep coach is very excellent. The display got a new feel. The voice assistant and taking calls on the watch is very good.
