Victor, a seasoned mobile technology expert, has spent over a decade at PhoneArena, exploring the depths of mobile photography and reviewing hundreds of smartphones across Android and iOS ecosystems.
For years, Garmin has been making good sports watches, but it used older memory-in-pixel displays that lacked color, and most of its watches did not support voice calls, a voice assistant or other smart features. They were sports watches, not smartwatches.aims to change that.
And then comes the build quality: both are well put together and have the same 5ATM water resistance, and they are swim proof. However, the Apple Watch comes in either aluminum for the base model or stainless steel . The, on the other hand, is made of plastic, which was a surprise considering it actually costs slightly more than the base Apple Watch model. You do, however, get a stainless steel bezel on the Venu 3, which gives it more refined styling.
It's easier to swap bands on the Apple Watch, but because of that systems straps typically are a bit wider, while the Garmin fits tighter, more snug to your wrist which I do appreciate. The Apple Watch has the higher quality watch faces and is perfectly smooth, while on the Garmin you do notice a bit of a stutter here and there .
What matters is that both do a really good job with most common activities like running and cycling, as well as for sleep tracking.Speaking of sleep tracking, both watches will tell you when you fell asleep, when you woke up, and how much time you spent in each of the sleep stages: deep sleep, light / core sleep, and REM sleep.
Well, we found that with one workout a day and the always-on function enabled, we got around 5 days between charges on the smaller Venu 3S, and we had to recharge every single day with the Apple Watch!This alone is a big reason why Garmin is still so popular, many people just don't want to deal with yet another device to worry about and charge every single day.
