Venu 3 Slate Stainless Steel Smart Watch Bezel with Black Case

Value for Money. Better option than apple watch if someone needs it as replacement and compatible with Iphone. You can also enable ECG sensor.

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.

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. 👍

Very good smartwatch

DO NOT BUY: Battery cannot be replaced." A ₹28,000 garmin instinct watch which i bought earlier is dead after 4 years. Garmin India refuses to offer a paid battery replacement and told me to throw it away and take a 10% discount on a new one. So think twice before buying and look for repair and battery replacement options in advance. As after 01 year warranty anytime your watch can leave you with the heavy price you paid. I have done big mistake buting this venu as well. Lets see how it goes.By the Casio can replace batteries?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Excelente smartwacht, gostei do modelo que lembra um formato mais social

I came to Garmin after a few Fitbit devices died on me. My main requirements were good fitness tracking (steps, workout sessions) and especially multi-day battery life, so I settled on the Venu 3. Starting with the battery life first: Garmin advertises up to 14 days in "smartwatch mode", meaning minimal tracking, no workouts, and a reasonable amount of notifications. In reality, I'm getting 7 days of battery life with daily (sometimes twice a day) workout sessions. I can't fathom having to recharge a smartwatch daily (Apple, Samsung, Google), and 7 days on a charge is phenomenal. Also, recharging the watch to 100% takes about an hour, which is plenty quick; and in a pinch a 10 minute charge will more than get you a full day's usage. Second, the tracking is pretty awesome as well. Every heart rate related metric you can think of (HR, resting HR, HRV, etc) is taken care of by Garmin's newest sensor. Around that, every fitness stat I could hope for is ready and available, so on that front I'm more than pleased. One quick remark: the Strength Training tracking is pretty solid, and even has a neat trick where the after-workout summary tells you which muscle groups you trained hardest in that session, without me telling the watch/app which exercises I did! I don't really know what voodoo Garmin is using, but it's really neat! Other bits and pieces: sleep tracking works OK, screen is great (clear, great outdoor legibility), notifications also work as expected. The only knock I have on Garmin is that the Android app, at least on my phone, drains a bit more battery than I would like/expected. I've seen other users online complain about this, while others seem unaffected, so YMMV. Lastly, the price. I got my Venu 3 discounted for about 360€: at this price, I do believe there is no better option, and that you're getting allot for what you pay for. Very solid value, IMHO. Highly recommended.

Ho acquistato il Watch il 28/12 ed è arrivato puntualmente il 32/12,tempi rispettati come da tradizione Amazon. L'orologio è una spanna , forse anche 2 , avanti soprattutto al vivoactive 4 che avevo prima, ma a conti fatti da un po' di biada anche al mio Apple Watch ultra, grazie a una autonomia mostruosa ( oggi che sto scrivendo siamo al 3/1 e non l'ho mai ricaricato con carica residua ancora al 47% , tutto attivo con 2 corse da 10km) e al fatto che si può rispondere e fare chiamate dal Watch e rispondere alle notifiche. ( Solo su Android) Unico appunto almeno nel mio caso, non sono riuscito a configurare le notifiche sul mio iPhone, ma solo su S23 ultra. Per il resto la niente da dire. La parte fitness è curata e ben strutturata, con mille possibilità di allenamento anche precaricati, GPS preciso e istantaneo, display bellissimo e leggibilissimo all'aperto. L'orologio è leggerissimo molto ergonomico unica cosa il cinturino che è troppo plasticoso e fa sudare. Ho risolto usando quello del vivoactive che è molto più curato. In definitiva sono molto soddisfatto, lo consiglio a tutti quelli che fanno un attività amatoriale come me, un po' meno ai professionisti, che forse abbisognano di strumenti più qualificsti come la linea epix o altro. Tuttavia la parte fitness può soddisfare la maggioranza di utenza che fa dell'attività fisica un hobby. Una menzione particolare alla scheda dedicata al sonno. Ben curata e approfondita nei dettagli, fornisce un quadro preciso e dettagliato sul nostro riposo , rilevando anche o pisolini, e in merito alla nostra forma fisica , suggerendo i tempi di recupero dopo ogni attività. Straconsigliato
