📜 Description 📜
--------------------------------------------
The much anticipated Garmin Venu 3 smartwatch has been on my wrist for about a couple weeks now and I have good things to say about it, but there are a couple things about it that I’m not very happy with that you MUST know before you buy this watch. 
Наука
More videos coming soon. Stay tuned...
Nice review straight to the point and in half the time good job 👏
I've had a ton of Garmin watches over the years - many of them had mushy buttons. I've always gone to Garmin support (using their chat on the website) and gotten it replaced. Mushy or inconsistent buttons are not what they intend - but they do need to fix their quality controls in the manufacture process.
Some reviewers rush to upload vids just to get there first and make impressions, without really getting acquainted with their object. . This is how reviews should be executed. It's reviews like yours which really give a clear insight to all of us prospective buyers. I'm currently torn between this one and the Huawei GT4. Thanks for all the insights provided. Looking forward to some more on this watch.
Thanks for the kind words!
I don't disagree, but Desfit and DC Rainmaker seem to get their review units well in advance.
@@Jornevald ... which they review a couple of days later.
Where you can get GT4 in USA?
I have this watch for two weeks as well, had to switch from GalaxyActive2 that conviniently died a few days after the release of Venu3. I have 40mm grey version Venu3s, back side plastic panel does look a bit cheap, I regred now not going for darker version. Buttons on my version all feel the same. Still getting used to switch form Samsung watch and I find Garmin connect app a bit cumbersome and not very user friendly. Afer wearing watch for two weeks straight, swimming with it and sleeping, my left wrist developed a rash from the silicon bracelet, that never happened to me before with GalaxyActive2, simply because I had to put it on charger every single night :D Now trying textlie and metalic bracelets from Amazon. Other than that it's a great watch, worth buying even if only because of its battery. Nap tracking works great, only it doesn't disable notification, or maybe I didn't find such function yet.
First thing I did was check the buttons. Got mine a couple of days ago... no variation that I can detect on the tactile "push" feeling. The watch is more or less exactly what I want... a nice upgrade from the original Venu. Great video!
Thank you for this info! I was waiting for someone to confirm. It will be perfect upgrade after Vivoactive 4!
You're right about the clickiness of the buttons, they don't feel good or durable at all.
Great review, Ryan! I wish this one were 43mm with the strap and had the case back of the Garmin Venu 2 Plus. The display, although bigger, seems to have a larger font size, making it look a bit cramped.
Thanks so much @nicozica! Good catch on the font thing, it does make things a bit cramped than they need to be.
@@RyansTechMedia I'm looking forward for the comparison with the Venu 2 Plus! 😃
Which Garmin watch you recommend in terms of listening to music and fitness tracking
Great bite size information, thank you!
How much do you use the speaker?
I’m torn between the Instinct 2X and this one.
I really like the training readiness of the 2X but cognisant that I may not use half its features, and love the idea of a more practical watch! Your thoughts please?
I used the mic and speaker 99% for phone calls and 1% for using the assistant. I used the Venu 2 Plus the same way and very regularly. There is something convenient about making phone calls on your watch. The Instinct 2X is a rugged and bad-ass looking watch. So it all depends on your lifestyle. For example you can wear the Venu 3 with a suit, but the Instinct 2X would look a little funny and probably a bit uncomfortable under the sleeve of a button down shirt. It's also a good idea to try them on at a local store, when in doubt.
Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate the response, you’re doing some great work!
This or the Venu 2 Plus ? Which do you recommend? TY
The little circle thing that sort of pops out at the bottom of the watch left a circle on my skin always, it sort of sticks in to your skin a little bit too much.
I have a Vivoactive 4.... battery is not like it used it be. Looking around, it seems the Venu 3 is a solid replacement, no deductions in features (the Vivoactive 5 loses stair climbing features, that I use on my 4), and I used to have a Pebble Steel watch, that I loved in the day, and that had voice texting, this seems like a step up from that.
$449 seems steep on the price point but, I'll get over it at some point....
Re: mushy buttons. I tried both a Venu 3 and 3s. In the 3s, all three buttons felt nice and clicky. But in the Venu 3, all three buttons felt mushy -- I could press them most of the way down without actually registering a click. It did feel like a quality control issue to me.
It does indeed seem like a qc issue.
Hey Ryan,
Thanks for your review. I’m an active guy, but prioritise the sleep and have only ever slept with an Oura ring (it’s now broken), what is the watch like to sleep with?
Hey Paul! If you mean in terms of comfort, it's one of the most comfortable Garmin watches, or any watches, I've worn during sleep. But in terms of accuracy, it's not as good as Oura. If you are looking for a good alternative to Oura ring, I've been using another smart ring that you can check out. The video is on the channel and I have a limited time discount code with a link in its description.
Is it better to get fenix 7 base or a venu 3??
What you recommend---265 or venu 3 thnks from India🇮🇳
Great review! How long does the battery lasted?
Not a problem! On paper it can last up to 14 days, but in real life it really depends on your usage patterns. Think of 7 to 10 days on average, some days even lower than that, but probably rarely higher.
Stainless steel is a very poor choice of watch back case - due to nickle allergies. Would be better in aluminim or titanium which are much more hypoallergenic (especially the titanium) - but again very expensive. Probably reason why not stainless but rather plastic to resolve allergy issues.
HRV along with SpO2 sensor sounds like big battery drainers.
hey, thanks for the video, may I ask for your wrist size? thanks!
Sure, it's around 6.7". Thanks for watching!
I have no variation in button feel on my Venu3.
Great review. I’ve had the Venu 3 41mm for about a week. I like it very much as I’m focused on rest and recovery at the moment, making my Forerunner too trainings-focused for now. The buttons on mine are…weird. The top and bottom ones click well, but the middle one barely gives any feedback at all. What is up with that, Garmin?
The most annoying feature I’ve noticed, which would’ve been so easy to do right, is there’s no way I can see to establish multiple timers. I use a variety of timers for both cooking and for gym work and I’m sad I can only set one at a time. I think you can set 10 on the Forerunner. The other annoyance is that my bank, Wells Fargo, stopped allowing new Garmins to use their cards. I bought the Forerunner several months ago, and the card is on there and works fine. What’s with that, WF? Ugh. This makes the “smart” Watch capabilities much reduced.
Great comment, thanks for sharing. So it seems there really is a QC issue going on with their first batch.
BTW was there an official announcement that they stopped supporting them?
WF claims they announced it (I spoke to their phone rep), but I never saw the announcement. They also said they may reinstate the ability to add cards to the new Garmins but, could give me no timeline for that. Very frustrating.
My Venu 3 also has mushy middle button, other buttons are clicky. Without this video I wouldnt even noticed it. Pretty lame but doesnt bother me.
I've been able to use my WF Carson my Venu 3, just used it again today to be certain after seeing this comment earlier. Maybe give it a try again.
@@Runstrong_ChrisWhat is a Carson? I can use my WF Visa on a Forerunner. But I cannot load the same card on the new Venu 3.
Hi what do you recommend for me the forerunner 265 or venu 3??!!?
Thanks…
What did you buy?
Can we here go to contact list and type sms?
I've had a Forerunner 255 and the buttons felt the same. I think it's a design choice from Garmin but a really bad one. Feels cheap and unreliable. Thanks for your review
Thanks for sharing!
Mine Venu 3S the shiny membrane around the watch face scratches so easy. It’s bugging me each time I see it. Im new to garmin after 10 years with Apple Watch. What annoys me it’s I can’t see what time is it during the activity!!!! I tried pressing buttons it doesn’t work!!!!!
Same by me with the Mushy buttons. Should i complain the watch by Garmin because that?
I know I’d do it if I were you.
Great review :) I must admit I am sending mine back. It bugs me that I can get 1000+ steps in a 2 hour car drive when I'm a passenger whilst my Apple Watch added zero for the same journey. I also bought the Forerunner 265 but had the same issue. Although the UX is poor, Garmin Connect is so insightful.
Sounds like a potentially faulty model? (I hope so, because that would be a major issue!). I have the original Venu and it doesn't add steps for car journeys. The Venu 3 is far too pricey to have that kind of flaw 😔.
Thats what some people suggested on Reddit but I spoke to the UK support team and they said it was working "as expected". It equtes to about 200 steps in a 25 minute journey, which doesn't sound a lot but I work at a desk so hitting my 10k steps per day, regardless of any runs, is important to me. Such a shame as I loved the Forerunner 265. I agree about the price of the Venu 3. There's no way they can justify the cost compared to an Apple Watch@@youtubeuser1105
I had a similar issue when using a Whoop strap; every time I rode the Harley, it thought I was cycling & gave me lots of credit for exercise that never happened!
How to get the watch face you use? Is it inbuilt one ?
Yes, it's one of the stock watch faces. You can find it in the watch faces menu.
I have the watch as well and my bottom button is most clicky, middle and top are same bit mushy
I suspect a quality control problem in their first batch. Thanks for sharing!
Make it more teachable option1 or traditional 2 original setting.
They make.3 button but no volume up on music any of the buttons. Or copy (SS) PRESS AND HOLD AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO SKIN OR SETTING . ALSO THE WORKING OUT DONT HAVE JUST OTHER WORK OUT OPTIONS. IT HAVE MOST STRANGE WORK OPTION 🤔 I NEVER SEEN ONLY.😢
Something in their rubber stap causes a rash for me. As long as I can find a good alter ativet strap I should be good.
Same thing happened to me with Venu 2 Plus.
Yikes. Seeing your HRV in the 70's and mine is 38-42. I'm also jealous of your sleep score. I can sleep 10 hrs and this watch gives me a 49 saying "non-restorative." My respiratory rates have been wild also showing dips as low as 6 while I sleep. I'm trying to figure out if this unit is inaccurate or if I need to worry that I stop breathing at night.
Thanks for sharing this! This hasn't been easy for me either and I've been actively working on it. But just as a guess, if you're sleeping 10 hours and things are still not optimal, it's an indication that the quality of your sleep hasn't been great, otherwise you might not have even needed to sleep that long. It's possible to have great stats with just 7 hours of quality sleep. In any case I'd definitely recommend visiting your doctor for a check-up including for sleep apnea.
Don't know if you'll see this but I hope you got a sleep study done. It can be a real life changer.
Does Garmin Venu 3 support eSIM connectivity?
Sadly no
Would you recommend Venu 3 or Epix pro?
Epix is a good choice if you'd like to have more advanced fitness tracking features with a rugged body. Venu 3 is more of a lifestyle watch that you can also use to make and receive phone calls (via Bluetooth), and I've done that countless times and it has a decent number of fitness tracking features. So it’s up to you, really.
@@RyansTechMedia what would you prefere?
@JoriNieer Currently the Epix Pro because of those couple reasons.
Is it tvalid that when you pause a workout, you cannot access any of the other functions of the watch?
You can still go back to the watch face and glance view and open everything there. You just can't start another activity or run a health snapshot in the middle of the workout.
@@RyansTechMedia I appreciate your reply, as I was misinformed that you couldn't go back to the watch face, not even to execute simple tasks. Looking forward to your comparison review! Thank you Ryan !
I'm using venu2plus watch.
Can i upgrade to venu3?
No reply sir from u
Is there any big difference between the venu 2 plus and 3? Or should I get the 965? I mainly do my workout in the gym , and do road running only 1~2 times per week..
I made a comparison video that might help.
dones anyone know that watch face's name? thanks!
It's one of the new stock watch faces from Garmin. In the setting if you go to watch faces I'm sure you'll find it.
As you suggested, it was already installed in the watch. Thanks @RyansTechMedia
Same thing with buttons. I hate it.
I just want sapphire glass
I'm between this one and the galaxy watch 5 pro which has sapphire glass and the crow is made of titanium, the problem is whether you're willing to charge it more often, it's also cheaper... I'm considering this one and the Samsung, still haven't decided...
Urgh wireless charging is the worst idea ever. Not efficient and terrible to adapt in a small device. And the reliability gap is day and night... Only Americans advocate for this and I don't get why can someone enlighten me ? I'm really curious.
I agree. It makes no sense for a watch you wouldn‘t use at all while it’s on a charging pad.
I think its for ease of waterproofing-
Very bad watch, the battery does not last more than 8 hours, buttons mushy and crazy.
Quality as well not good
I think Polar V3 better
Really? The battery only lasts 8 hours?! I keep seeing 5 to 10 days of battery life lol. I really want one so can you tell me why the battery on yours drains so fast?
Update, I ended up getting the garmin 965, the battery life Is insanely good, does everything I need it to do for as a smart watch and a fitness watch.
Worst watch in garmin. Pathetic battery life. Not lasting more than 8 hours. Lot of software issues. Not worth forthe money
