A Pricey but Nice Alternative to a Smart Watch or FItbit
I started looking for a new smart watch / exercise tracker after Fitbit dumbed down their app by eliminating a good deal of precision in times and miles run and also redoing their formerly excellent data display and organization a few months ago.I do not like charging a watch every night, which is necessary for the dominant smart watches, and do not like their tight linkages to particular phone-based eco systems.So I tried purchased a Garmin Venu 3 from Amazon a little over a month ago. For my purposes, it is not a massive improvement over a good Fitbit (prior to the dumbing down), but like the Fitbits that I’ve owned, it has excellent battery life (4-5 days or so is common), and is smart enough for my purposes.It was, of course, more expensive than the Fitbits that I’ve owned, but you do get somewhat more for one’s money.The screen is larger, brighter, and depending on the screen face that one adopts, more informative and easier to read–both during a daytime run and at night. The touch screen is more touch friendly–it seems more sensitive and being a bit larger is easier to touch in the “right” spot to activate an app etc.It also provides more data, much of it useful, than Fitbits do.Although the manner in which Garman displays the data in the app is not as good as the older fitbit data display, its generally better than their new app (as of Dec 2023). Also, many of the calculations are undertaken on the watch itself rather than transmitted to mother google, so one can, for example, look at sleep scores, run times, distances, and so forth even if one is off line.Overall, I am very pleased with the Venu 3. Its good looking, easy to read, has lots of flexibility (e.g. its pretty “smart”) and quite easy to set up and get going–as is the app.

Fantastic watch, had to unfortunately get a replacement as my original one had some power issues with not turning back on but got a quick replacement. Battery for my usage is well over 7 days, auto tracks activities better than any other smart watches I’ve had such as Fitbit and Samsung. Sleep tracker can be a little bit off, not tracking once you wake up and fall asleep during the night but rare it happens. Companion app for it has a wealth of information that’s valuable.

Had the vivoactive 4s and this is a quite big step up. The screen is obvs better but there are also more options – like choosing what data fields you want to display during your workout. I also paired it with my Stages power meter so I get a bit more (but not all!) data. The battery life is at least double the vivoactive but uses the same charger shape. Also uses 18mm straps.I don’t use sleep or female tracking options so I can’t comment on those. I’m pleased with it. Shame garmin pay isn’t supported by many banks.
