Venu 3 Slate Stainless Steel Smart Watch Bezel with Black Case

It is very good in terms of tracking quality - a week since purchasing - I have had 4-5 days battery life with no AOD - but all tracking enabled all the time - and I have added a watch face where most of the data points are visible on the entry - could be the reason for fast drain. But that aside - the accuracy I think is solid - I used to have fitbit versa 3, apple watch se, moved on to Galaxy watch 7. This by far has been the most accurate in terms of tracking. Also the 4-5 days battery life could be attributed to this - I mainly track racquet sports - badminton, tennis and squash - where I have had sessions of around 1 hour everyday and the walk up to the court which would be another km or so. I find body battery to be useful - I find the watch tuning itself better for myself every day. I might edit this review in future post 2 months or 3 months when the watch has attuned to my lifestyle. After versa 3 - I had a step down in battery where I had to charge every morning - so even this 4-5 days of battery life is live 400% improvement for me.

Very good smartwatch

An awesome watch. I have and am owning other Garmin watches too. It’s a good deal. For my serious running I have Forerunner 255. If you are a casual health conscious then go for it. It’s more than enough. You have all the health indicators and workouts you need. PS: Even though it’s ECG capable, for some reasons related to authorisation, it’s NOT available on India. So, don’t buy it because of its ECG feature. 👍

Battery backup is not as much as advertised. Lasts 5 days max. HR accuracy is also not any better than lower budget watches. Body battery feature also seems gimmicky as it doesn't really correlate with how I am feeling during the day. Like all other smart watches, it heavily over estimates calories burnt during a workout.

Bought for ECG, which is not working in India, Call quality & reception experience is worst..

I got Venu 3 from US and was happy to use it for 18 months and after that the screen went blank. On approaching Amit GPS auth distributor for India they gave a estimate of Rs 28k for changing screen. I had a very average usage of cycling, strength training and swimming. Now I am not so confident of Garmin product durability.

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.

Garmin Venu 3 45mm – Fitness-Smartwatch, 1,4" AMOLED-Touchdisplay: Ich habe mich in diese Fitness-Smartwatch verliebt: Sie ist elegant, praktisch und der Akku hält bei zehn Tagen aktiver Nutzung der Uhr durch. Ich bin mit der Funktionalität der Uhr rundum zufrieden, insbesondere mit der Klarheit der Herzfrequenzmessung, der Body Battery-Option und der Schlafqualitätsbestimmung. Ich habe mich für schwarze Farbe entschieden und finde diese Uhr modisch. Sie sieht schön und modern aus. Vorteile: 🌿 Die Schrift ist groß genug und die Nachrichten sind gut lesbar. 🌿 Format und Hintergrundbild des Displays lassen sich auswählen. 🌿 Nachdem ich die Uhr mit dem Handy verbunden hatte, wählte ich die gewünschten Sportarten aus und installierte die benötigten Apps. 🌿 Alles funktioniert einwandfrei und die Nachrichten kommen pünktlich an. Die Sportart lässt sich einfach auswählen und das Training kann gestartet werden. 🌿 Während des Trainings werden der Kalorienverbrauch und der Puls gemessen. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Jag är jätte nöjd med min Garmin Venu 3... Supper bra.

Superb watch — the AMOLED screen is bright and crisp, and the health tracking features are really impressive. Comfortable to wear all day and battery life is solid. Syncs quickly with the phone and works seamlessly. A great upgrade for fitness and everyday use.

Me decidí por el Garmin Venu 3 porque Garmin es, en mi opinión, una de las mejores marcas en relojes enfocados al deporte, destacando especialmente por la cantidad y calidad de métricas que ofrece. A nivel deportivo, el reloj es muy completo. Permite obtener datos como pulsaciones medias, velocidad, calorías, cadencia en carrera y, algo que considero especialmente importante, el tiempo de recuperación tras la actividad, una métrica clave para evitar el sobreentrenamiento. En el apartado de salud, ofrece información muy útil como la calidad del sueño (diferenciando sueño ligero, profundo y REM), el nivel de estrés, el Body Battery (una estimación del nivel de energía del cuerpo a lo largo del día en función del descanso y la actividad) y la VFC (Variabilidad de la Frecuencia Cardíaca), que aporta datos sobre el estado de recuperación y el equilibrio del sistema nervioso. Además, el reloj es capaz de realizar pequeños electrocardiogramas, algo muy destacable en este segmento. Aunque hoy en día muchos relojes pueden montar buenos sensores, en mi experiencia eso no es suficiente. Lo realmente importante es que esos datos estén bien interpretados. Sin una marca con años de desarrollo, investigación y mejora continua del firmware y de la aplicación, los datos que proporcionan los sensores pueden ser confusos o poco fiables. En este aspecto, Garmin marca una clara diferencia, ya que su aplicación móvil transforma toda esa información en datos claros, coherentes y realmente útiles, algo que no todas las marcas consiguen. En cuanto a funciones “smart”, el Venu 3 cuenta con micrófono y altavoz, lo que permite contestar llamadas si el teléfono está dentro del alcance del Bluetooth, además de recibir mensajes y notificaciones. Otro punto clave es la autonomía. La batería dura en torno a dos semanas, algo fundamental para mí, ya que llevo el reloj puesto las 24 horas del día. Tener que cargarlo a diario un dispositivo de este tipo, para mi sería sencillamente, inaceptable. Conclusión: Es un smartwatch muy completo, con excelentes sensores, una aplicación sobresaliente y una autonomía que marca la diferencia. No le encuentro puntos negativos y es una compra de la que estoy muy satisfecho, por lo que lo recomiendo sin dudar.
