Garmin Venu 3 Smartwatch vs CMF Watch 3 Pro

The Venu 3 is the better watch for serious training, health tracking and daily wear. It adds stainless steel bezel, Gorilla Glass 3, a speaker and microphone for calls, music storage, Garmin Pay, multi-band GPS and up to 14 days of battery. The CMF Watch 3 Pro is a lighter, simpler alternative with a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen, IP68 water resistance and basic GPS, heart rate and blood oxygen tracking. Owners of the Venu 3 praise its accuracy and battery; CMF owners like the screen and design but note fewer smart features and rougher app support.

• Choose the Garmin Venu 3 if you train regularly, want accurate GPS and health metrics, on-wrist calls and music, and a watch that lasts well over a week per charge.
• Choose the CMF Watch 3 Pro if you want a large AMOLED display, basic fitness and sleep tracking, and a stainless steel case without paying for advanced training features.
