Is there a reason Garmin watches are never mentioned on LTT when they are talking about smart watches?
I've been rocking Garmin for years and recently moved up to a Venu 3s. Yes they are more expensive but for me I want something that does the health stuff well can give me some phone notifications and otherwise just stays out of the way with strong multi day battery life. Almost every conversation I

End of an era - Moving on
I also switched from Fitbit to the Venu 3s about a year ago. It actually feels a lot more similar to the Fitbit ecosystem than I expected, but with more customization. The battery life is even longer which is a huge plus. Overall I like it better after a year of use!

Bye Fitbit Sense 2, hello Garmin Venu 3s
Unfortunately my decade or so of Fitbit watches is coming to an end. I have nothing really negative to say about Fitbit itself. I don't. Just... Google.
My wife and I both used to own the Sense 2, and hers lasted for just about 2 years and mine died a few weeks ago. Her battery died. Didn't last mo

A recent post got me thinking how important data is in making decisions about fitness and drinking
I treated myself to a Garmin Venu 3s last year and one surprising thing has been extremely eye opening. It ALWAYS knows when I drink. Even though I don't track my drinking in the app. Something about having more than two drinks in a night causes my body to have strong responses that it interprets as

Help! Can't decide on a fitness watch to track workouts
I want to start this by saying I have loved my Apple watch up until now and have worn it every days since I got it about 5 years ago. Unfortunately, the battery no longer holds a charge dying halfway through the day (sometimes even if I've had a super lazy day and not really used it). I have tried

Yeah, I have the venu 3s and the battery life is great and the gps tracking is accurate enough.

The Love Affair is Ending
Garmin's sleep tracking is not nearly as good as Fitbit or Apple. Some garmins (with older sensors) have third tier accuracy on HR. The Garmin venu 3s has a newer sensor ,( the elevate 4 sensor iirc?)and it's HR accuracy is on par with Fitbit. Others complain that Garmin build quality on some models

Best smart watch for measuring heart rate?
I am a diehard fan of the Venu 3s. It does me WONDERS. I track my hr, hrv, sleep, body battery and stress levels (basically whenever I have a flare up it basically shows me how many "spoons" I have left for the day). Technically u can track hydration there too I just dont. It needs to be charged abo

is upgrading from samsung w7 to garmin worth it?
For what it’s worth I am an extremely casual runner, hardly ran at all last year but training for a half this year. I switched from an Apple Watch SE to a Garmin Venu 3S two years ago because I was sick and tired of my Apple Watch pausing when it lost my heart rate on runs. I love my garmin, even du
