Garmin Venu 3

Pros

• The Venu3 did completely fine against dedicated running watches with Multi-Band support from the DC Rainmaker tests and I've never had an issue with my GPS.
• I can eg. dismiss or snooze events from calendar, mark mails and messages as read, delete mails, I can even answer to them (either by predefined messages or with a keyboard - Venu 3 had a T9...)
• I would say Venu3 is the best all rounder. It's the most "smart watch" like offering from Garmin. Steps obviously included, it's got a great GPS for running without a phone if you want. ... sleep sensor is accurate.
• The 965 is solid but honestly the Venu 3 might be better for 24/7 wear since it's way more comfortable for sleeping and has that AMOLED screen which looks amazing.
• One thing I like better on the 3 is the customizable button.

Cons

• Currently debating between an ultra and a garmin venu 3 myself
• wouldn't go Venu 3 over the 4. No multi-band GPS. No LED flashlight.
• My ex-wife had a Venu 3 what a piece of shit. It had crap battery life that got worse after a couple updates.
• “The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is probably best looked at through the lens of a slightly cut-down Garmin Venu 3.”
• FWIW my wife loves the Venu 3 battery life but does not like the UI. She came from a Fitbit and then Pixel 3 but seems to get lost in the Garmin UI very quickly.
