Just come across you, thanks for the review. I’m looking for a smart phone that does well with a few things including sleep tracking. Given your commentary on this feature, would you recommend this watch or could you suggest something better? Thanks.

@AbbyBReviewing 4 месяца назад

@kemianthony3841 Hi, if you're looking for great sleep tracking, I would go with a Fitbit. If your looking for Great everything else (activity tracking, battery life GPS performance, good but not great sleep tracking etc.) I would go with Garmin

I ghink they steuggled to sell the rose gold option on theor Venu 2. I just spent the past few weeks researching watches and finally settled on a venu 2 (your review also helped me with my decision, so thank you 😊). When i finally went to go buy the watch, the gold was no where to be found, but the rose gold was in stock everywhere and on sale. The venu 3 is very pretty, but the upgrades are nothing I need personally. Im looking forward to receiving my Venu 2 x

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

I'm glad my videos helped with your decision 😊 And that's interesting, the rose gold Venu 2S is always sold out near me lol, I guess trends are a bit different depending where you are. And the rose gold is my personal fav colour of the Venu, so I'd def say you made a nice choice 😉. And I hope you enjoy your new Venu 2S!

@ivysantafe 9 месяцев назад

Fabulous reviews, Abby, thank you. So glad someone is paying attention to how many women buy these watches and making reviews concentrating on our interests. I am moving from Fitbit after many years in Charge and Versa to Garmin, and will proably try out the Venu 3S now that the holiday sale and return policies are available. One basic question for the light color Garmin watches in general: do you find that the cases (especially underside where the watch contacts the wrist) gets very dirty? And if so, are they easy to clean?

@AbbyBReviewing 9 месяцев назад

Thank you! And when it comes to my Garmin watches whether a dark or light coloured band they will get dirty if you plan to sweat/workout with them a lot. In my experience they clean very easily, I typically wear it in the shower which keeps them clean or rinse it with water and use rubbing alcohol if they are quite dirty on the band to keep mine clean.

@nicozica 10 месяцев назад

Amazing and honest review as always Abbey! The watch looks very nice, I wish Garmin could make better looking stock watch faces like the ones found in the Apple Watch and Samsung. Even Amazfit has better looking watch faces (if the battery is a reason to blame). Anyways, a Garmin is always a Garmin, they beat everyone with good sensors and an incredible platform like Garmin Connect (no competitor has this one). Cheers my dear!!

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! And I definitely agree, the Garmin sensors, apps, battery life etc. are the best right now but, Garmin should make better watch faces, as many are quite basic looking especially when compared to other brands. And nice to hear from you again, I appreciate you sharing :)

Hi Abby, thank you so much for this review! I have the Venu 2s and I am looking forward to see your video comparing the two. One thing it seems different between the two is the pregnancy tracking and it says that Venu 3s gives nutrition information, would you be able to touch on that too. I haven’t found a video that goes into depth on women’s health and features just for women. Thank you so much again. Awesome video.

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Hello, I do have a women's health section at 07:26 in the video! This covers the Garmin women's health & menstrual cycle app. I did not include the pregnancy tracking as that's a separate app and I am not pregnant, so I cannot comment on the accuracy of it at all. I did just downloaded the Garmin pregnancy app on both the Venu 3s and 2s for you, and see no differences, the exact same format and info appear on both watches. And I'll consider doing a brief overview on the pregnancy tracking in the future, thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for the honest review @AbbyBReviewing ... Ive had a samsung watch for 5 years and its charged but not turning on anymore sadly so I started shopping for options last week and found your page. I was sold on the venu 2s until a few days ago. There are a few things i didnt like about my old Samsung (couldnt pick a HIIT workout for one) The garmin was suggested and that how I found you lol. Im just wondering if you were planning to do a camparison review for the 2s vs 3s. Its currently pricing out at 599.99 in canada so as much as i am impatient lol I think I will wait for a sale, but would really like to see what your opinion on the 2 models is and which you would recommend more for a first time Garmin buyer :)

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Hello, yes I will, I'm currently working on it, and will be dropping my Venu 3s vs Venu 2s comparison on a #ABRTechTuesday soon, so stay tuned! And I hope my videos will help with your decision as well :)

@user-rs4jm2lz1b 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review! Which do you prefer, the Venu 3s or the Epix pro 42 mm? I love my Epix, but I find it a bit chunky and I never use maps and many of the extra stuff it has.. So I am considering the Venu 3s! 😅

@Lynn-zw7dr 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this, appreciated! My 3S is arriving tomorrow, I'm changing from the galaxy watch 6. I had the 2 Pro, I found it a bit thick so I'm hoping the 3S is a tiny bit slimmer. I'm getting the dust pink like yours it seems a nice colour and at least it has no Nickel which makes my arm come up as I'm allergic, I've had to put tape on the edges of my watch 6 same with apple watch! Looking forward to mine, but like you, I found the tracking for health a bit off on my 2 pro but you'd think 3s would've solved it, I'm 72 so not in to running etc but walk when I'm able & can, as have fybromyalgea, good to keep a track on things. Keep up good work! Just hope they don't bring new model out in 2/3 months time! 🫣❤🌹xx

@AbbyBReviewing 2 месяца назад

Hello! I hope you enjoy your new Venu 3S when you get it. I'm not sure when the next release is dropping, but that won't change the fact that the Venu 3S is a great watch. And thanks for sharing 😊

Hi Abby. I hope you are having a wonderful day. What protective screen cover would you recommend for this particular watch?

@joyceb7047 10 месяцев назад

Great review. How is the heart rate accuracy with new Elevate 5 sensor, please? In theory HR accuracy of Venu 3S should be better than Fenix 7 Pro/Epix 2 Pro, given lower weight.

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, and the heart rate has been accurate in my experience, no issues with casual resting heart rate or active heart rate values during a workout. I haven't noticed much of a difference between the Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm and Venu 3S here may differ between 5% or less during a workout. Venu 3S picks up heart rate changes faster during some activities like run/walk intervals and HIIT but, no difference in data when wearing normally or resting in my experience. I don't have the Fenix 7 Pro so can't speak on that.

@alexandrahill9280 8 месяцев назад

Hi Abby, I am new to your channel and Garmin. I box as well, and am torn between this watch the Venu 3s and the Epix Pro Gen 2. Which one would you recommend for serious training? Also does the Epix Pro Gen 2 look massive on your wrist? I have small wrists and some of these Garmin watches are looking LARGE lol!

@AbbyBReviewing 8 месяцев назад

Hello, it depends on the activities you're doing as both can track a variety of activities (ex. Epix does track boxing, specifically the Venu, does not, but does track cardio, which gives a similar result). Also with the Epix has more options and better gps performance for outdoor gps activities. If you have a small wrist and are worried about size, being too big you may want to go with Venu 3S as it is a bit more small/compact than the the Epix which is one of the largest Garmin watches I've owned and reviewed on the channel. You can see my full review on the Epix if your interested in how it looks on my wrist. I do find it a bit big, but it doesn't look huge, in my opinion.

@pitaal2540 3 месяца назад

Hi Abby. I am new to garmin watches. Love your informative videos and they have definitely helped me narrow down the options garmin offers. I’m currently debating between venu 3s & vivoactive 5. What would you recommend, is there a better option? I lift weights 2 days & run 5 days out of the week. Occasionally love to hike.

@AbbyBReviewing 3 месяца назад

Hello! Im happy to hear your loving my reviews 😊. And I would choose the Venu 3S. It's more expensive, but definitely the better watch, imo it's, more durable, newer heart rate sensor. And as someone who likes to go on walks, occasional runs, and hikes myself, i appreciate the barometric altimeter that allows me to track my elevation data and floors climbed, which is not present on the Vivoactive 5. Also, I've already done a comparison video between the Venu 3S and Vivoactive 5 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mdhCstMmWNE.html

@jeffrey8859 9 месяцев назад

Great video, could you also compare this to the Epix Pro 42? Is the Epix much larger/thicker compared to the Venu 3s?

@AbbyBReviewing 9 месяцев назад

Hi, thank you! And the Epix is noticeably larger/ thicker than the Venu 3S here. Venu 3S: 40g, 41 x 41x 12mm Epix 42mm: 63g, 42 x 42 x 14.2mm

@jrbommelen2505 9 месяцев назад

Just returned the Venu3S and will buy another Venu2S. It seems the designers tried to make it cooler but instead it know is more complicated. Also you need now to add your watch by bluetooth by hand and confirm, previously this was automatic. Also the alarm/fall detection keeps popping up when I touch or move the Venu3S in a unexpected way. The extra button isn;t worth it. The morning report is annoying. All so called improvements that are only adding stuff that I do not need. I would advice to Garmin: Keep it clean and simple and stick to the previous functions.

@AbbyBReviewing 9 месяцев назад

Hello, thanks for sharing! Please note you can turn off the morning report. And while I have not had those Bluetooth, or alarm fall detection issues, I also prefer the controls/operating system on the Venu 2S which I mentioned in my Venu 3S vs Venu 2S comparison video! If you are not using or wanting these new features/changes it definitely does not make sense to "upgrade" to the Venu 3S from the Venu 2S in my opinion.

@helenejacq5177 5 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for the review! Do you know if the watch face visible with polarised sunglasses?

@AbbyBReviewing 5 месяцев назад

Hi, I can read/view the display with my polarised sunglasses on. However, it looks noticeably darker than looking at it without glasses on.

Hello Abby, merci pour votre revue détaillée de cette Venue 3s 👍 Cette smartwatch me semble très équlibrée et je pense que je vais en acheter une 🙂 Vous avez configuré 3 alarmes le matin, est-ce que la fonction snooze n'existe pas ? 🤔 Meilleures salutations 🇨🇭

@AbbyBReviewing 5 месяцев назад

Bonjour, il a une fonction snooze. Je viens de définir plusieurs alarmes à titre d'exemple pour la vidéo 🙂

@khalednabeel 10 месяцев назад

would like to check exercise metrics for running, hiit, strength, cardio and thank you for your video

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Not sure if that is a question or statement with no question mark there lol. But the Venu 3S can track those exercises and can track many metrics such as reps, calories burned, pace, distance, intensity mins, laps, heart rate, heart rate zones & more.

@Jianemba 10 месяцев назад

Good review, but I might as well keep my 2s until I upgrade to maps. Thanks Abby for informing

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! And true. Maps would be a great upgrade in the Venu series. Hopefully, we get that in the future.

@faucon5962 5 месяцев назад

Hello Abby. I learned a lot from your video. Tks a lot. I was wondering what you know about the Wallet? I can't add my CIBC bank card or Visa. It is frustrating. Please let me know what you think. :)

@AbbyBReviewing 5 месяцев назад

Hello, I live in Canada, I take it you do as well as you mentioned CIBC. I don't speak much about Garmin Pay as it's basically non existant here, and I can't t use it to test the features. In Canada you can't add any major banks like CIBC, RBC, Scotiabank, etc., only a few small options that aren't well known are supported currently. Averysly, it works in the USA with pretty much every provider out. So it's definitely a shame with the lack of Canada support.

@carolinecavallari3210 10 месяцев назад

Hi Abby! Quick question: can the Venu 3 display all trail maps? Or do you have to check that on your phone?

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Hello! Maps won't be displayed on the watch as it doesn't have built-in maps. However, you can see your tracked GPS route/map on your phone in the app after a GPS workout.

@carolinecavallari3210 10 месяцев назад

Thank you !!

@user-ku1kv9kd8h 9 месяцев назад

Hi Abbey., I really love your reviews but I can't find anything on screen protectors. Would you direct me to the review that has it or share it here?

@AbbyBReviewing 9 месяцев назад

Hello, I found a screen protector on amazon that is decent. I've added a link for it in the video description! Also, I wanted to note after applying, mine had a few air bubbles but they disappeared within ~24 hours after installation!

@rayq352 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for a great review: I've watched several! My fitness tracker is on its way out and I've been looking at alternatives. The most annoying thing is that it's barely more than 2 years old! I would consider a Garmin to be an investment so was wondering if you could tell me approximately how long they last? My other issue is that I have small wrists. If the tape measure is not too snug, I measure at 16cm (just under 6 and a half inches) I love the idea of solar charging but I think that watch might be a bit too big for me!

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

Hi, In my experience a Garmin watch can last many years but, it really depends on how you take care of it. This watch does not have solar charging, and I don't find it too big on me. However, sizing is definitely a personal preference thing.

@rayq352 10 месяцев назад

@@AbbyBReviewing Hey Abby, thanks for your reply. I couldn't remember the name of the other watch. It was the Fenix S solar, I'm more familiar with the names now that I've watched more videos! I always take care of my stuff but I think this issue with the display is one that is quite common. I'm going to wait until autumn before I decide.

@rindu1724 2 месяца назад

Hai Abby. Out of this review. Do you know when will be venu 4s will be released? Cause I have a plan to buy one. Either 3S or wait until 4s launching. Usually on August they lauch a new product, but not sure too. Hopefully you can answer

@AbbyBReviewing 2 месяца назад

@janebranch5068 10 месяцев назад

So if we do want good sleep tracking what is a good choice? My charge 4 just died …. Need to read in sun, decent gps and batteryspo2

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

So, I'd say go with a Fitbit for good sleep tracking, or go with a Garmin for good (everything else you listed). Unfortunately you cant get all you want in one watch at the moment, so you need to pick and choose what's most important to you.

@AndorCzafik 10 месяцев назад

Hello, Can you test it how the notifications look like on the watch, especially the images in the notifications? If the notification on your Android phone contains image, how the watch shows that.

@AbbyBReviewing 8 месяцев назад

Hello, I haven't used the Fenix 6X Pro as its too big for me and I only wear/review the smaller more compact watches. That being said I do have the Fenix 6S Pro, and I still love it in 2023! And use it regularly, it works great & still getting updates. So I think the Fenix 6X Pro would be worth the buy, especially if you can grab it at a nice sale price :)

@user-rs4jm2lz1b 9 месяцев назад

Can you scroll back on the screen and see the stress level for more than the last 4 hours on the Venu 3s, like on the Venu 2s and the FR265s? I really miss that feature on the Epix pro 42 mm. 😅

Hi, I wanted to ask how the light colored band works for you over time? Does it get dirty? I have dark grey version and it's fine, but I see sometimes 2nd hand watches with light bands that are distustingly dirty. I was considering buying mint version of venu 3s but now I am not sure if it wont get dirty quickly in a way that will be hard to clean? Do you wear 1 watch long enough to tell if they get dirty? I can't see any problem with my dark version, but I would love mint one.

@AbbyBReviewing 3 месяца назад

Hello! I've had no issues keeping any lighter coloured Garmin band clean, and if you are keeping your dark grey one clean you shouldn't have any issues. I usually switch up the watch i wear monthly, which leaves plenty of time for them to get dirty. To clean, I only rinse with water after workouts and wear in the shower few times a week mine have stayed clean as can be seen in the video. I think some used ones that are quite dirty due to never being cleaned. Whenever i see a used one that dirty i would avoid it, as it shows the watch wasn't treated very well.

@erikaczirok1232 7 месяцев назад

Hi, Can you tell me how to set up this watch face on venu 3? I was able to do the same but only showing analog watch not the digital one like on yours. Thank you :)

@AbbyBReviewing 7 месяцев назад

Hello, the watch face I'm using came pre-installed on my Venu 3S, it already had a digital watch face I only changed the colour and data fields. I don't have the Venu 3 so I am not sure if it has different watch faces pre-installed. But if you go to the edit section under that specific watch face you are seeing should be able to see if you can change the clock style or not.

@springflower2052 10 месяцев назад

I am confused between the venu 3s and venu 2 plus because here in Netherland there is a reduction in the price of the venu 2 plus up to 359€ while the price of the venu 3s reaches 499€. My question is, is the venus 3s worth the extra 140€?

@AbbyBReviewing 10 месяцев назад

So, the biggest difference for me between the Venu 3S and Venu 2 Plus is the SIZE. I prefer the Venu 3S for the smaller form factor, it's also a bit more lightweight, has nicer colour options, and looks better in my opinion. They have very similar features, and both track activities and data well. Whether it's worth it or not is definitely up to you.

@paulkline3011 10 месяцев назад

If GPS tracking accuracy is important to you the Venu 3s has GPS GNSS all systems and the Venu 2 plus has regular GPS tracking. So the 3s will be more accurate.

Hi Abby, I just bought the 3 but forgot to think about protecting! I see there are a) screeprotectors and b) cases Can you tell me what you advice about that? Thank you!

@AbbyBReviewing 4 месяца назад

Screen Protectors cover the display. Cases cover the entire watch face and buttons usually. I prefer using screen protectors, i like protecting the display and letting the bezel and watch body show and am not concerned about small scratches or signs of use on the watch body. For the cases in my experience, they dont look the best on, make the buttons harder to press, and gets water stuck underneath a lot when washing hands showering etc, requiring taking it off to dry do u can use the touch screen display which i find a hassle personally, and i dont buy them anymore.

It just occurred to me, I know some pulse oximeters are less effective on darker skin. Maybe it might be worth testing the accuracy of pulse oxes on different skin tones in future reviews?

@AbbyBReviewing 5 месяцев назад

Hello, actually, my partner has a fair skin tone. He also wears Garmin and has the same pulse ox issues, so I dont believe that affects it, from my experience. And I know many people have issues with the pulse ox regardless of skin tone from the many of the reviews I've read and the comments/messages I've gotten.

Struggling to decide between venu3s and fr 165. should i try tre 265s? The 165 feels very comfortable to me and has more accurate sleep tracking than the 3 (in my case) the venu 3 i have to wear very loose because the new sensor irritates my skin and digs in. Would the 265s feel more like the 165to wear? Do you think it would be overkill for someone that is just active and rarely runs and I should stick to one of my original two choices?

@AbbyBReviewing 3 месяца назад

Hi, I personally prefer the 265S. Whether or not you should try it is up to you but I'd consider the price, features you want, the design, size etc, that may help with your choice.

@awesam303 3 месяца назад

@@AbbyBReviewing thanks. The 165 feels a little like settling to me but comfort for all day wear seems very important. The venu 3 has all the training features I personally feel I would need, it's just the comfort level isn't great for me. im constantly noticing it on. I feel a little silly going for a forerunner 265 since I really don't run but I think I'm just going to give it a go. Plus it's pink 😎. Thanks for your input!

Hi, not really, you can either choose to set it up and use voice assistant or not set it up and not use it. Alternatively once voice assistant is set up, if your wifi and bluetooth functions are turned off on your watch you cannot use the voice assistant (so that kind of turns it off).

@kristallklarblau528 7 месяцев назад

👍Thank you very much for the review from a girls perspektive.🎉 I hoped that you, as a girl, would say something to the fact that there is no dance tracking. Not a single one. And no automatically tracking of dancing (This is very impotand for me - thats the only point where Fitbit is better). I hoped that you would say whats your workaround for this missing feature. But the rest was very helpfull. Thanks.❤

@AbbyBReviewing 7 месяцев назад

Hey, I always track my dance workouts (ex, zumba, hip hop or latin) with the cardio workout option with Garmin, and it works well! Honestly, I don't find much a difference in the tracking here vs on some Fitbit's that have a dance option. The results ex. calories burned, steps, active mins etc, and very similar differing between less than 5% in my experience. And not all women dance, and I don't think many of my viewers dance often. as I get just maybe a handful of dance questions a year vs hundreds of questions others for other activities, so I didn't focus on dance in the video. And thanks for sharing 😊

@kristallklarblau528 7 месяцев назад

@@AbbyBReviewing 🙏Thanks for answering my question.👍 I have a last question: So, you use "cardio". But does it start and stop automatically? Because I joyn "DJ Evening" Events and there I dance, than take a break, dance again, take a break. I do not Start a Workout manually than stop it and Start it again... - my Fitbit starts and stop the tracking automatically (Well sometimes it tracks it as "swimming"😂 instead of "Aerobic", but never the lass it tracks it). Is this the same with the 3s Cardio ? Thanks again for your your great Review. ❤️

@AbbyBReviewing 7 месяцев назад

No problem! And it can start and stop automatically but I don't find that function on Garmin or Fitbit the most accurate. Good thing is with the Venu 3s you just press one button to pause and re-start a workout if needed. I use that function if taking breaks while working out for the most accurate results.

Hello! This watch has a set Bluetooth range that it needs to be connected to your phone, if your out of that (ex. leave your phone in one room and move somewhere else with walls/distance between) you may have connection dropping issues. That is normal, and there's nothing that can fix that other than bringing your phone with you to have a strong connection.

@AbbyBReviewing Месяц назад

Hello, I mentioned in the video my battery life results, which were longer than that, but battery loge will vary depending on your useage. I'd recommend putting the brightness on low, turning off the bluetooth and wifi off also as they drain the battery faster. Also, try changing the watch face she is using. The one you are using may be causing the higher battery drain as well. And I'd reach out to Garmin's customer service for help if nothing changes.

Hi! Is there navigation?

@AbbyBReviewing 5 месяцев назад

Hello! Yes, there is but it's kind of a "watered down" version in my opinion. As there are no built-in maps on the Venu watches, also you can only navigate to saved locations. You will see a compass pointing you in the direction to travel. It is not as detailed or strong of navigation compared to what you would find on the more expensive Fenix watch that has built-in maps, a compass, and clearer navigation instructions, and you can navigate to many places not just saved locations for example.

@jasonlevine2430 10 месяцев назад

The Venu 2 Plus has a working ECG function. It was added (at least in the US) after regulatory approval. There's no reason to expect any different with the Venu 3 and 3S - it's just a question of the timetable. Also, Garmin needs regulatory approval (I believe) before activating the body temperature sensor on the Venu 3/3S.
