Excellent watch for health and fitness tracking
I've had it for over a month, and it is by far the best fitness watch I've owned. I'm very happy with the range of data it provides, including the ECG feature, sleep data, and stress monitoring. It provides the perfect balance between cost and features.

Amazing!
My Venu 3 was a replacement for an Apple Watch, and I couldn’t be happier. The Apple Watch did a lot, but not much well. My Venu 3 does so much right! I’m really loving the level of detail with fitness metrics. I now have access to more data than I know what to do with. The battery life is stellar, at least 10 days with my configuration, which is a huge improvement. I used to charge my Apple Watch overnight, so I never could see my sleep patterns. Not with my Venu 3! I should also note that the Venu 3 charges so quickly. An hour or two and it jumps from 10 to 100%. Overall a great purchase. I’m glad I switched to Garmin!

I like everything but the golf distance inaccuracy
My Garmin Vivoqctive HR finally died and Garmin was nice to provide a discount on my next watch but only certain models. I did the research and found the venu 3 to be the best choice for the price. I did see that only the high end Garmin Golf watches used all satellites available where the Venu3 doesn't which was disappointing. Once on the golf course I found it to be a 10-12 yard difference between the Venu3 yardage and the laser range finder and I compared it to other devices some of my playing parters had so it confirmed to be inaccurate. I now regret my purchase since while I wouldn't have purchased the top end Garmin golf watch which is out of my price range but I prob would have chosen a competitor device since accuracy in golf should be garmins top priority.

Smart watch
I bought this watch primarily for the health stats it can track, like hear rate, pulse oxy and sleep score. But I can monitor txt, answer calls, so many other thing.

Solid watch
This watch does everything one needs to manage one's fitness program. Plus it has a battery life that is measured in days not hours. Great piece of technology!

Very good.
Pros: --Excellent Battery Life. --Fitness Apps and Amt of Data are accurate and amazing!! Way better than Samsung Watch 6 Classic. --Great integration with Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence 2. Accurate. --Heartbeat is accurate. --Body Battery is great. Coach is good. --Sleep app is acurrate, but I'm always getting Poor Sleep (that's on me, not Garmin). --HRV and Recovery is great. --Way more accurate that Galaxy Watch 6. --OK integration with smartphone. --IConnect is faster and more stable than better than Samsung/Wear OS. ---Has OK smartphone abilities. --Does Emails (via MS Office, and texts notifications). CONS: --Venu phone OS is not as polished as Samsung. It's built for button pushing, not for swiping. The OS really needs to be updated to modern times. --No Whatsapp integration. --Phone Volume is low. --Watch faces are OK, but could be better. Overall: --If you want a polished smartwatch, go for Samsung. But dont expect accuracy in their fitness areas. --If you want a semi hardcore fitness watch that does more than average, (not triathlonr/Pro Level, but more than average), and you are willing to trade some of the polish for fitness functionality, have basic smartphone connections, with MP3 player, and Amazing battery life (14 days max no bluetooth or constant on screen, but abt a week with constant bluetooth connections)--this is the watch to get.

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.

Abandon Your Apple
I bought the Venu 3 when I was training for my half marathon and didn’t love the stats on my Apple Watch. I was worried the Venu 3 would be too big on my wrist going from a 41mm Apple Watch but this watch is 10/10. It is more comfortable than any Apple Watch I’ve ever worn. The stats and information from workouts is phenomenal as well as the recovery information and sleep coach. There’s also not even a close comparison when it comes to the battery life. I used to have to charge my Apple Watch every single night and I can wear my Venu for multiple days and not even be close to needing to charge it. So glad I made the switch.

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.
