Best praise vs top criticism for Garmin Venu 3S
“Depending on the functionality, the 'S' watches from Garmin could be perfect for you. The Venu 3S or the Forerunner 265S are both excellent watches for a smaller wrist.”
“I just bought a Venu 3s coming from an Apple Watch 6 that stopped working. Reasons for buying the venu 3s was mainly for the o2 sensor and the longer battery life. But after a day of use, i decided to return it and buy the series 10 Apple Watch. I have an iPhone and i didn’t like having to go through 3 different Garmin apps to do the same things that the Apple Watch would do. I also realized that i like the display on the Apple Watch better than the Garmin venu. Both are around the same price of $400. I think the Venu is 450 but on Black Friday it was 350. At the end of the day, if you have the time to learn how the Garmin watch works and are okay losing the seamless connect between Apple Watch and iPhone I’d say go for it. It just wasn’t for me.”
