Venu 3

I don't take it off the other 6 days. Part of having a nice fitness watch is that it is shower-proof. My Venu3 when I wear it comes off my wrist once a week. My instinct when I wear it comes off my wrist once a month

My fully charged Instinct, after a 5 hour hike, would go from 28 days to 24 days of battery left. My Venu3 would go from 100% to 75%, so no, I would be fine without a charger over the weekend. Your AWU wouldn't be.

Vivoactive three for just in case my other watches die. They are a venu 2sq and a venu 3. Some days I like having the smaller venu 2sq.

I have it and a couple others. I liked the venu 2 sq but my venu 3 seems to have battery battery life. I use both but usually the venu 3.

I have the 970. I first switched from an Apple Watch series 10 to a venu 3 before switching again to a 970. I like even the small things like step cadence and estimated sweat loss. If I do a workout it estimates how much sweat I lost and changes my hydration goal

Both me and my wife switched from Apple Watch Series 10 to a venue three and we couldn’t be happier. I thought I would miss my Apple Watch so much more but the more I thought about it the more I realized all I use my Apple Watch for was phone calls, and texting notifications and timers. All stuff that I can do on my Garmin watch but better. And the fitness tracking actually seems way better. The Apple Watch would always have my calories way too high, and I would always question it and not believe it whereas the Garmin is a lot more conservative and I actually believe the numbers

I just switched from Apple Watch to a Garmin venue three a couple weeks ago and it’s been pretty amazing. I was a diehard Apple Watch fanboy. I’ve had them ever since the very first one in 2015. I never really tried anything else. Being in the Apple ecosystem, I was really worried that I was gonna be missing something, but I really don’t. The only apps that I ever used on my Apple Watch were reminders, alarms, timers, and workout stuff and maybe the weather app. Which is all stuff my Garmin watch can do. I’ve only charged my watch once in two weeks lol suck on that apple

On my Garmin, you can trigger Siri and let her take care of everything

Gonna be the negative Nancy here and have to say my vivoactive 3 music died in three years, then the refurb I got to replace it (paid refurb, 90 bucks, not warrantied) broke in another 3. It came apart due to some medium force so I can’t 100% say it was its fault but I have reason to suspect that it was beginning to come apart about 3 weeks prior to the incident (screen was glitching for a few hours, was randomly acting up) and that might just have been the final straw. I did still get a new venu 3 tho. It works well and I don’t have to charge every day, that means a lot to me lol.

Garmin was mid. Accuracy I just compared all the devices against each other and my own logs.

I bought the venu3 and it was great. So great i really got back into running and health and starting obsessing over garmin metrics. There were a FEW things i was missing out on on the venu, so i switched to fenix/forerunner. From what i remember it was things like race predictor and taking load/effect.

I have watched his videos to, all of them. i also now own a garmin venu 3. That being said, apple isnt accurate in everything. For example how many kcal you have burned is always off on apple. Than have you seen the video's of his girlfriend that tested it? these measurements are all WAY more accurate with the Garmin than from himself. That being said, does it matter if it sometimes is a bit off for example the hearthrate? If you care about HR that much, a cheststrap is always more accurate.

I don’t think I’ll be buying another Garmin, after my Venu 3. It’s my first Garmin product, and while I really like the watch itself, the software leaves a lot to be desired. There are still plenty of bugs for example, the text in the weather app doesn’t display correctly, I can’t reply or see if I receive more than two messages, and Snapchat is riddled with issues. Sometimes it shows a picture on the watch, but most of the time it’s just a red square. And if you want to disable a single sensor, like for steps? You can’t you have to turn everything off instead. Want to call with your watch? make sure you get some hearing aids because you cant hear shit... For 500 euro's i exepected WAY more.... A Samsung watch of 150 euro's can do this stuff really good, but the battery life is bad.
