    I had a fitbit versa 4 before this watch and Garmin outshines it in every way especially since Google took fitbit over and ruined them. The tracking apps a major improvement and highly accurate compared to fitbit. The strength training is really good overall nothing is 100% so when you do like a bench press it might come up in the app that you did a lateral raise or some other workout. Again I dont expect it to be 100% accurate on those. It is nice to be able to log those on the app and edit them for a digital journal instead of a paper one. Battery does pretty good but just remember the more you track activities it does drain the battery quicker even with always on off and battery saver on. The display is is nice and clear bout like looking at my phone clear. Still better than fitbit

    I abosolutely love this watch. I had a heart attack 6 months ago so I thought it was important to be able to keep an eye on my health and healing progress without needing all of the workout information and bulk of the Forerunners. This watch is the perfect size, has great battery life (I can go 2 weeks before charging, unlike an Apple you have to charge daily), and it can track all of my health measures including ECG, SPO2, heartrate, sleep effectiveness, and more. It also tracks my workouts whether running outside, on a treadmill, or just using a stationary bike. Also, my cardiologist and I are amazed at how accurate it is compared to their monitors! Oh, and don’t forget the OLED screen. It’s bright and brilliant, especially indoors. But I also have no issues seeing it in full sun. For me, it’s the perfect watch. It won’t track a triathlon for 17 hours, but it does everything I want and more. I also love being able to create custom faces for it. 🙂

    My wife likes it. Mission accomplished. For detailed reviews and its capabilities compared to instinct, fenix, etc, I encourage looking up reddit or youtube rather than the amazon review section.

    I have been using Garmin watches for several years. So far, their privacy policies allow reasonable privacy (as compared with some of their competition from Google). I use it for walking and cycling, but it supports many types of activities. I like having a pulse oximeter and ecg available on my wrist, as I have had aFib in the past. The watch also an OK job at sleep data, but there are definitely some weaknesses here. However, I have yet to find a watch that is likely to do a substantially better job at sleep, since the gold standard of an EEG requires a trained professional to read it.

    I bought this to replace my aging Fitbit Sense, which wasn’t charging well anymore. It had the promise of using the phone’s voice assistant, which was better than the Sense 2 which only has access to Alexa now. It’s Bixby given I’m on a Samsung phone, but it’s better than Alexa and it can control stuff on the phone remotely from the watch which is a cool bonus.

    I did not have any appreciation for the massive difference in health tracking between a Fitbit and a Garmin when I pressed Buy Now. Every feature of the Fitbit is here in some form, both subscription features like readiness score (recovery) and enhanced sleep metrics to all of the basic stuff. Lots of things that are restricted to while you’re asleep on the Fitbit work at all times on the Garmin, like respiration and blood oxygen. The sensor and LEDs on this are much bigger than on a fitbit and are much more sensitive to highs and lows in heart rate that fitbit can’t pick up. The stress detection and body battery features are really cool and seem accurate. Fitness age presents an unflattering but likely pretty accurate picture of my health after wearing the watch for a few days.

    Everything is customizable on the watch and in the Garmin app; there is even a feature to design your own watch face with a photo background of your choice and the placement of the watch elements and complications where you choose them. You can put what is important to you front and center and you can ignore anything you don’t care about. Both the watch and the app require a bit of messing around to get things looking the way you would like, but it’s easy and I had fun poking at the watch for hours making everything perfect. There are a LOT of pre made watch faces included with assorted complications, some of them configurable and some not. The one pictured is not configurable but it displays exactly the stats I want and looks good. There are several included faces that look great so you aren’t forced into their store right away.

    It is ironic that there is a working YouTube Music app for Garmin watches but not for the top of the line fitbits. I have loaded my likes playlist to the watch, which loaded almost 300 songs in the same order they are in on the YM app. This took a while and I left the watch plugged in while it downloaded over wifi. Connecting headphones was really easy and I set the “shortcut” swipe from left side to open the music player. I have used the watch to listen to music instead of my phone on some walks and it’s a great experience.

    I am very fond of this. It’s an upgrade in every way from a Fitbit Sense. It’s the Samsung phone of fitness trackers with all of the bells, whistles and options you could ask for and some you didn’t know you wanted before you got the watch. Worth the 600 bucks.

    I absolutely love my Garmin Venu 3S. It’s sleek, lightweight, and fits perfectly on smaller wrists, making it super comfortable to wear all day—and night. And you’ll want to wear it 24/7 because this watch is packed with features that actually make a difference in your daily life.

    One of my favorite things is the sleep tracking. It doesn’t just tell you how long you slept—it breaks down your sleep stages and gives you personalized tips to improve your rest. Add in the Body Battery feature, and you’ve got a pretty awesome way to keep tabs on how much energy you really have throughout the day.

    The Venu 3S also comes with a built-in speaker and mic, so you can take calls or use your voice assistant right from your wrist. The AMOLED screen is super crisp and colorful, and the touchscreen is easy to navigate whether you’re checking notifications, starting a workout, or queuing up a guided meditation.

    Speaking of workouts, there are tons of options—yoga, strength training (it counts your reps!), running, biking, you name it. It also has great wellness features like stress tracking, nap detection, women’s health tracking, and even an ECG app.

    Battery life is amazing too—I only need to charge it about once a week.

    If you’re looking for a smartwatch that keeps up with your life and helps you stay on top of your health, the Garmin Venu 3S is seriously hard to beat!

    Important Health Update Published 12/27/24 in Environmental Science & Technology Letters: “New research reveals that many smartwatch and fitness tracker wristbands, particularly premium models, contain alarming concentrations of PFAS chemicals that could potentially seep into wearers’ skin. The study highlights specific concerns about a compound called perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), found at unprecedented levels in some devices worn continuously against the skin.” !!! Based on that research, I removed the silicone wristband that came with this watch and ordered a nylon wristband instead! If you plan to do that, consider the color of the edges of the watch you choose, which coordinate with the colors of Garmin’s silicone wristband and may not be easily matched with the colors of alternative wristbands. I chose the sage green and now wish I had purchased the black!

    As for the watch itself, having not yet owned a smartwatch, after much research, I carefully chose this Garmin Venu 3s watch just for its health indicators: Heart rate and variability, respiration, pulse oxygen level, stress, sleep tracker and overall “Body Battery” (Body Battery is the perceived energy level based on other readings). I walk, don’t run, jog, lift weights, play golf or the myriad of other options this watch can track. I particularly appreciate the HRV (Heart Rate Variability) indicator, as well as the “Sleep Coach” data and reminders. Various settings are adjusted using the Garmin Connect app (Tip: After checking it out, I found the additional Garmin Connect “IQ” app worthless for myself – they are 3rd party apps that gather too much personal data; the IQ app offers some additional watch faces to choose from but there are about 10 of those that come loaded onto the watch and there is the ability to create your own watch face – see several related YouTube videos for help, if needed). The Sleep Coach points out whether I am hitting my sleep/rest goal for the day and offers a few “tips” along the way. I’ve used this lightweight Garmin Venu 3s for several months and really appreciate it, especially for its battery life which I extend by setting the watch face to “go dark” until I tap the watch face, not set to always be lit and not to light up when I raise my wrist to check the time. Instead, I just need to tap the watch face to have it light up. I turned off all exercise items I do not use. I also chose not to activate the phone or messages features on the watch, since my smartphone has to be within sight to be connected to the watch to receive those anyway, and responding with anything other than quick/preset messages would be “clunky” – not with a standard type of keyboard (See YouTube videos about the Garmin Venu 3/3s for those in-depth details!). I chose the model that must connect to a smartphone – instead of the “Cellular Venu 3/3s” model that would need its own cellular account! This smaller 3s is comfortable to wear 24 hours and, after 5 days, usually has about 45% battery remaining (Most Apple Watches must be charged daily, and there is also a question about the accuracy of the method Apple uses to determine Heart Rate Variability – since Apple uses a continuous monitoring method, rather than when the person is at rest as is customary). Once the Garmin Connect software was downloaded, the watch easily connected to my Apple 14 (Pro) phone to set up the watch and update the software. I have settings adjusted so health readings are saved only when I access the Garmin app from my smartphone – rather than having the Garmin app constantly connected to the watch to provide routine background updates that would drain battery life.

    I spent hours researching other models and chose the Venu 3s – the smaller version. The Garmin Venu 3 is a bit larger/heavier but otherwise has the exact same features as the 3s (Though I’m not sure the larger model has a touch screen! Something to definitely determine before considering that “3” model.) I’m very happy with this watch. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I removed one star for the unhealthy silicone band that came with the watch that I had to remove and order a replacement for, due to the health issues of wearing silicone next to skin. After seeing how beneficial the watch has been for me, my husband had me order one for him a month ago and is pleased with it, especially when, after a month of wearing it, the HRV readings alerted him of a potential issue which his cardiologist is now checking further. My husband opted for the smaller 3s version, as I did, and though he’s a big guy, it looks fine – not too small. I hope all of this helps with your own purchase decision and would appreciate an indication of that if so.
