Hey. I have tested the auto detect walk and it is not going including the first 10 minutes. You said it does in the video. Is there another setting besides auto detect? Thanks.
strange. on mine it does 🤔 It starts after 10 minutes of walking but also shows the walk in the first 10 minutes in the activity (just doesnt display the walking screen on the watch for the first 10 minutes)
Here are some Venu 3 exclusives: - More battery life (14 days instead of 9) - Better HR sensor - Better GPS (with the multi-GNSS chip) - It can track more activities - Nap tracking and sleep coach
I love the Garmin. I'm having the most trouble figuring what to use for my beach body workouts. Most of my workouts have cardio, lifting, and some type of aerobics. The Venu 3 won't let me create a custom workout and send it.
Hello, I'm new to the Garmin world and enjoying the Venu thus far! I've noticed that with the default 'wear on left' the buttons are oriented towards your hand/wrist bone, which can result in accidental presses when weight training with gloves on, etc. I think I might have seen somewhere that other watches in the Garmin line allow for an orientation adjustment- essentially flipping the watchface 180 degrees and placing the buttons on the elbow side (like the default for a right wrist wearer). Is this possible on the Venu, and if so, how?? Thanks!
If im mtn biking , i know i can track everything and it will show where you rode but if my phone is dead can i use watch to get back home ? Will it show myself my highlighted route on the watch without my phone ?
You can put komoot on the watch and download routes to the watch. And it will show you the route similar like on your phone and also record the activity meanwhile.
Hello there. One question. If I have my Garmin Edge 530 and I want to upload the data from the sensors of my bike to my smartwatch can I do it with Garmin Venu 3? Garmin Edge 530 works with Garmin Connect app in my phone, so I guess that a Garmin smartwatch has to have this functionality as well? I mean I want to upload this data to Strava and also my smartwatch as well. Thank you so much
Does it auto detect cycling? I cycle every day and my old Venu 2 didn't track or record unless I did it manually. It did it for walking and when going into the app was aware of when I had cycled but didn't track or log it as an exercise?
@@JonnekeRoepers from what I saw no, I got a Fitbit instead which does auto track cycling but tbh is no where near as good of a fitness tracker as my Garmin was. I'm definitely going back to Garmin
Hi I was wondering if with the Venu 3 you can add custom activities to the watch face using the connect app and how you would do this? Can’t seem to find a video on it anywhere
They are all very different watches. Forerunner 965 puts exercise first (especially running), the Venu 3 puts more health and smartwatch features first (but still with lots of exercise capability) and as for the aw 9, I don't know much about it.
Regarding garmin pay. I don't see the venu 3 (I have the 3s) having garmin pay at all. The wallet icon doesn't exist on the venu 3 apparently. Pretty dumb considering the price.
Ive never used the golf activity but when I try to use it, my watch says I have to download the Garmin Golf app to download courses. So, I can't answer your question but maybe doing more research about the Garmin Golf app could answer your question.
I super hate that you cant use voice commands to do something as simple as set a timer using voice commands and then the timer coming up on the watches screen. Even the Fitbit Sense 1 is capable of this very basic feature. Also cant add Amex to Garmin pay. Prettier than a Fitbit for sure though for what thats worth
I just saw deezer, amazon music, spotify, youtube music, locally stored musik and it also can just be a remote to whatever is playing on your phone (displaying the song, pausing/playing, volume, ...)
Never tried it, it shows the call on the watch, you can accept it from there but I always accept it from my phone because I dont want to talk in my watch as I think its just strange xD I mean it has speakers (you can play music on the watch) and a Microphone (you can use google assistant over the watch on your phone and it will answer on the watch) so it probably will just let you have the call via the watch kinda like a bluetooth headset. But idk, never tried it I just use my phone to accept it after I see it on the watch xD
From what Ive seen, a lot of them do. This watch for example (The Venu 3) has it. I also know the Vevoactive 5 along with the Forerunner watches have it.
Well for one thing you aren't forced to watch sponsor spots you can just skip through them for another thing RUclipsrs in niche categories that don't attract massive viewership numbers that's how they make their money so you want to cut off their revenue because it's so inconvenient for you to tap or click a couple times to skip the sponsor?
I'm just diving into the Garmin smartwatch universe for the first time. Can anyone tell me why this watch allows Android users to reply to texts with quick replies, but not iphone users? Is it something that a future software update might solve, or is it Apple being annoying and saying they will only allow iphone users to do that with an Apple watch?
The latter. There will never be any firmware update on a Garmin or any other watches allowing iPhone users to use anything other than an Apple watch for that functionality. Just the way their closed ecosystem works.
Hi! Can you change the notification & alert sounds of Venu 3? I am thinking of uploading my own sounds just like the custom ringtones and alarm sounds in a mobile phone.
Can someone explain why Venu 3 is so expensive? Compared to Samsung Galaxy 6 classic 47mm? The Venu 3 feels and looks very cheap (I had the white version in my hands), no premium look you could expect for this price. Also, the buttons are much worse than in Samsung - small, shaky, not properly responsive. The screen is protruding above the surface which means it will have scratches very quickly. Venu 3 does not feature body composition, snore detection, ECG, text-to-speech reminders. Battery life is great, right, but the price cannot be that high only because of this. If it cost 100EUR less, probably it could be an option and alternative for the GW6.
Hey mate, like your info but don't like the Best Buy push. Info loses credibility as I question if I am being told the truth or if I am just being sold something. Soz
The SQ was a "Lite" version of the Venu watch line up so that's why the price is much lower. The Venu 3 has almost all of Garmin's newest health, sleep, and smart watch features. For example the Venu 3 has a mic for a voice assistant and taking calls, sleep coach and nap tracking, and more sensors like an altimeter.
My comment was accurate. Listening to the imperative 'like' over and over again is a pain in the ass and ruins a video clip. My comment is constructive. You are not helping @@lynda7312

Love the garmin interface and battery life especially at 63 years of age so good on an Amoled screen 👍
Just bought mine. Thanks for the tips
Hey Mike, nobody has made videos about the Withings scanwatch 2. It could be up there for best hybrid or even best looking smartwatch
Hey. I have tested the auto detect walk and it is not going including the first 10 minutes. You said it does in the video. Is there another setting besides auto detect? Thanks.
Top button will bring you to activities then you can start the walk manually
strange. on mine it does 🤔
It starts after 10 minutes of walking but also shows the walk in the first 10 minutes in the activity (just doesnt display the walking screen on the watch for the first 10 minutes)
Thanks I have the Google Pixel 2 might switch does it have smart pay?
It has Garmin Pay.
Also switching from Pixel watch 2, tired of 1-day battery life. How's it going for you?
THANK YOU for this. In 2024 lol... I am so lost with my garmin but this helps tremendously. Especially cause of the starbucks info. Thank again!
Is there any major difference between the 2 plus and the new venu 3?

- More battery life (14 days instead of 9)
- Better HR sensor

I hope one day Garmin will hire a designer.
Technically this watch is great, but both hardware and interface look boring, cheap, and far from elegant.
I know the venu 3 tracks HRV during sleep but can you check that through the day, also?
Hi I was wondering if with the Venu 3 you can add custom activities to the watch face using the connect app and how you would do this? Can’t seem to find a video on it anywhere
From what I have seen, you can't make custom workouts and send them. I even checked Garmin Forum where people were having the same issue
Can I use it to manage interval training?
For gym use is this better or aw 9 or forerunner 965? Pls advice thanks!
They are all very different watches. Forerunner 965 puts exercise first (especially running), the Venu 3 puts more health and smartwatch features first (but still with lots of exercise capability) and as for the aw 9, I don't know much about it.

Yes it does. I have the 3S and it is up and running. Paid in the supermarket today with Garmin Pay. Works great.
It's a shame that Garmin hasn't made speech to text available on text message reply's.
That’s only because Apple limits it only to the Apple Watch
you could use the voice assistant that connects to your phone and send a text to someone via voice
how is the golfing on it for yardages ? does it even do that ?...thx from Canada
Ive never used the golf activity but when I try to use it, my watch says I have to download the Garmin Golf app to download courses. So, I can't answer your question but maybe doing more research about the Garmin Golf app could answer your question.
Does venu 3 shows total body muscle and if yes how to retrieve it? TQ
I don't believe so but it might tell you somewhere in the Garmin Connect app
Yes
It can show skeletal muscle mass rather than total muscle mass but you’ll need a compatible smart scale, like the Garmin S2.
And does the vivoactive 5 show the trained muscles ?
@@peanutclip2990I know it does on the app. My Venu 3 also shows it on the watch and so I believe it’s the same for the Vivoactive 5
Im debating between this watch and Instinct 2X.
hi how to download screen shot from device
Connect the watch to your computer and browse the files in the folder: GARMIN\screenshots
Hello! Is there a possibility to listen to audio alerts about the pace during training without headphones?
For the Venu 3, do you recommend applying a screen protector? If so, which do you recommend? Thanks.
RUclips is really wierd Mike has 400 k plus subs so far 2k plus views on this video with only 10 comments after 16 hr

What garmin watch has fall and crash detection
From what Ive seen, a lot of them do. This watch for example (The Venu 3) has it. I also know the Vevoactive 5 along with the Forerunner watches have it.
is there an option to protect the watch with a password if you take it ok or put it on ?
Why, when people have subscribed to YT Premium, are channels still able to show 'sponsored" stuff..after all, it's an advert

I like the Venu 3, but at the moment it is £100.00 too expensive. I am seriously thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy watch 6 Classic instead.
The Vevoacitve 5 is a great alternative. It has almost the same features as the Venu 3 minus a built-in mic, altimeter, and a few other things.
I just thought the same thing.
Can I control my Smartphone camera with this Garmin?
No but there might be a 3rd party app on Garmin IQ that lets you

I agree. It should be $100 less. $349 or $375, $450 is way too high for not even being cellular.
Very simple, garmin is focus on sports while Samsung is not... Garmin is far ahead if you are an athlete.
Battery life 7 days with approx 4-5 1hr + activities recorded
@@pabloflores7554you mean that its garmin only becz price is high i think huawei is better..
You get what you pay for with Samsung - specifically a cheap battery that dies daily.

What watch face is this???
Hey Mike, When are you making a video about the Apple Watch Series 9?
Can't beat Huawei gt series
The cutaways of the watch don't illustrate the feature being talked about. I'm confused.
Which feature? Maybe I can clarify what your confused about
Is there any decent garmins watches that aren't fucking huge 😅😅

Hey mate, like your info but don't like the Best Buy push. Info loses credibility as I question if I am being told the truth or if I am just being sold something. Soz
Told the truth about what, it's a video about watch features.
Holy crap, the Venu 3 is $449??? 🤯🤯🤯 My Venu Sq was _half_ that cost! What justifies the doubling of the price? 🤔
The Sq doesn't have all the same features or the new elevate 5 sensor.
Screen on yours is inferior, lcd vs amoled, and it doesn’t get nearly as bright outside.
Lots of features, look into it.
