GarminVenu 3S GPS 41mm Smartwatch, AMOLED Touchscreen, All-day Advanced Health & Fitness Features, Voice Functionality, Music Storage, Wellness Smartwatch with up to 10 days battery life, French Grey

This is a great watch! It is much improved on my previous garmin. It's smoother, easier to navigate and the battery life is amazing.I bought this one for my wife, this is the smaller version and she loves it.Back in 2018 she got an iwatch and I got the Garmin Vivoactive 3. They were life changing at the time, as we were very active in the gym and outside. It was clear that my wife preferred many of the functions on my watch that the iwatch didn't have, although hers did look much better.My Garmin had battery issues back in 2021 and the iwatch screen got a crack in it last year (2024).So, a few years on, we are less active and want to get back to it. But I lacked the motivation. Then I remembered how I used to monitor my sleep, heart rate and training sessions on the watch and thought...maybe a new smart watch will give me the get up off the sofa I need.So I researched the best smart watches of 2024 & 2025...and this one kept coming up.So I bought two (2) this one for my wife and the larger one for me.They are brilliant, the Garmin App is much improved too, much easier to record my gym sessions.This watch can monitor your HRV, it can provide a sleep coach, it's is sleek and stylish, and is better at dealing with messages and calls.I highly recomment this watch!

Great smart watch with so many features to give you more data than you’ll know what to do with … track sports from swim run bike golf and so many more with a more day to day look than dedicated sports watch.

I've had many Garmin watches and this is the best yet and it has awesome battery life. Very clear screen, quick to get GPS and great stats. Very happy with this watch.

I have been using Apple Watch for years. But since I’m more healthy and fitness oriented I bought Garmin watch. It has so much better and accurate readings. The body battery,hrv status, recovery and many, many more are much more important than the smartwatch features in Apple Watches. I can recommend this watch to everyone who is focused on health and overall wellbeing. The performance is super, display is super crisp and bright. I charge the watch once a week. You might think is pricey but it’s worth every penny

Love the watch and all its features. Had Venu 2s before this and this is a big improvement. The only issue I have is with poor battery life. My old watch I only had to charge every 7-8 days but with this one its every 4-5 days.

I wanted a sports watch to replace my old garmin but I also wanted a watch that looks nice so i didn't have to change watches for going out etc. This absolutely fits that criteria. It's easy to use and I like all of the different watch face options. The battery life is good and it charges really quickly too.

The watch keeps unparing from the phone and it is, a, hard work to pair it again. Apparently it does not go into pair mode.Had it replaced once, but have same problem again. Plus it sometimes shows up as Venue 3s, and some times as "watch".

I've had so many Fitbits over the years, back to the Fitbit Flex back in the day. I unfortunately ended up with more than I bargained for, however, because they kept breaking or failing so needed to be replaced all the time. Customer support was getting slower, and I became disillusioned but liked the tracking. I then tried a Pixel watch that came free with my phone. It was decent but the battery drove me insane. I thought it was time to revisit Garmin, even though I'd had this perception that the sleep tracking, app etc wouldn't be as good.I tried both the Venu 3 and 3S on and ended up with the 3S. They don't actually seem hugely different in size, even on a small wrist, but there are more "dressy" options for 3S and I think the French grey I ended up with doesn't look overly sporty. It's very light and comfortable, with a bright and responsive screen. It's appealing to look at and easy to use. Actions are mainly touchscreen, but with 3 buttons that can be customised.Tracking has been great and I've found it very accurate so far. Sleep tracking has improved a lot since I had a Vivoactive years ago, as has the app. I really like the Body Battery for giving me an excuse to relax after some busy days, and the sleep coach is a good prompt to go to bed early.Smart watch features are all I need from my watch - I have an Android phone so get all my notifications through, Garmin now support pictures in messages, and I can send responses if I want (I usually just wait to pick up the phone though). Garmin Pay is for select banks only, so recommend double checking if it's a dealbreaker. For me, it was the same banks as Fitbit Pay anyway, so not an issue and easy to set up and use.Battery life has been a huge relief after the PIxel watch. It's stated to be 10 days for the 3S and that seems accurate - drains about 10% a day. I'm fine with a watch that I throw on charge for an hour every week or so. It's also pretty easy (and cheap) to find spare charging cables because they're common to other Garmin watches too. Wired charging instead of wireless feels like a non-issue when it's infrequent.No ECG function yet, but it has the sensor so hoping that gets activated!Overall absolutely love it and can't see myself going back to Fitbit/Pixel watch ever. It's been a joy and a relief to switch!
