A really well rounded smart watch. I worried the face would be to big & chunky but it fits well. For this reason I purposely chose the 3s.
My previous watch was a Fitbit and connectivity was always erratic but this one is so much more superior. All texts, calls & notifications come in quickly with no loss of connectivity. The one minor issue is when your phone is on silent (with no vibration), your notifications still buzz through, so make sure you put it on 'do not disturb' if you don't want to be disturbed. But that's easy to do, it's just remembering to do it sometimes.
It's great to track walking routes, monitor gym sessions and the smart features make life so much easier. It's smart features are fairly easy to navigate too. You need at least a week's worth of wear before it gets used to you & your activities, to get the full use of all the statistics.
I've had it for a couple of months now and it still looks brand new. The screen is very clear with so far, excellent durability.
Yes, the price makes you pause, but to be fair, it's probably more value for money than Fitbit. Fitbit ALWAYS stopped working after 2 years. I can see this one lasting a lot longer than that but only time will tell, I guess!
The battery lasts well over a week. It's a push for it to last 10 days, I'd say, but it charges fast so it's not really any kind of inconvenience. The app is easy to navigate and pretty self explanatory. I find the stress feature & body battery particularly interesting. The statistics matched to how I felt when very unwell one week, so that was fascinating to see!
I've just purchased my dad (a big technophobe), the Venu SQ as that one seems a bit more suited to him & his lifestyle. It seems a better match if price is problem or if you won't utilise all the features of the venu 3.
Once you try Garmin it's unlikely you'll change to anything else after.
