Should I buy the Garmin Venu 3 or Fitbit Sense 2?

Choosing between the Garmin Venu 3 and the Fitbit Sense 2 mostly comes down to whether you want a more fitness-focused watch or one that leans toward wellness and stress tracking.

Go with the Garmin Venu 3 if you want a stronger all-around fitness watch with broad workout support, solid battery life, and more advanced training-oriented features. Garmin’s core app and health tracking are usable without a required subscription for basic use.

Go with the Fitbit Sense 2 if you care most about sleep, stress, and everyday wellness tracking. It includes Fitbit’s stress-focused sensors and has a slimmer design that some people find more comfortable for all-day and overnight wear.

A few cautions: exact battery life, feature details, and app/subscription rules can vary by region and software updates, so it’s worth checking the official product pages before buying. Also, Fitbit Premium can unlock extra insights, but basic tracking is still available without it.
