Pros and cons

According to our smartwatch expert

  • You get explanations and advice about the effect your workouts, stress level, and sleep have on your health.
  • The battery of the Garmin Venu 3 lasts up to 14 days.
  • Thanks to the special wheelchair mode, you can get wheelchair-friendly advice for your activities and workouts.
  • This watch looks best on a wrist circumference of at least 17cm, so the smaller Venu 3S is best if you have a smaller wrist circumference.

Nice replacement for my Apple Watch

  • Long battery life
  • Provides accurate heart rate
  • GPS works well
This is my first Garmin and I must say that this is a big difference with my previous smartwatch (Apple series 5). I now only have to charge it after more than a week. That's quite a relief. Since I got this (just over a week now) I don't miss my Apple Watch at all. He records everything neatly. (heart rate, activities, etc)

Great smartwatch

  • Battery life
  • Many sports and health functions
  • Nice clear screen
  • Some functions do not work in combination with iPhone
After long hesitations between an Apple Watch and the Garmin Venu 3, I opted for the Garmin. The use for sports, more extensive insight into health and the much longer battery life were ultimately decisive. So far very satisfied with this watch. The only downside is that a few small functions do not work in combination with an iPhone. (Reply to messages or view images of messages.) The first mentioned can sometimes be useful :) These functions do work with Android. Nevertheless, I recommend the Venu 3!
