Priced at $449.99 / £449.99 / AU$749.99, the Garmin Venu 3 and its smaller counterpart, the Venu 3S (41mm), offer remarkable value for the same price.

However, where the Venu 3 truly shines is in its enhanced features. The sleep experience, for instance, receives a significant upgrade. The all-new Sleep Coach provides personalized sleep advice, integrating your exercise and recovery data into an insightful graph. Notably, the watch now automatically tracks naps, seamlessly incorporating them into your recovery algorithm. With Garmin’s established sleep monitoring capabilities, including skin temperature and heart rate variability tracking, this watch promises a comprehensive sleep analysis.
Wheelchair users have not been left behind either, as the Venu 3 introduces tailored workout profiles. These profiles offer a range of customized workouts and unique insights, from monitoring the number of pushes per day to weight-shifting alerts for lateral movement. What’s groundbreaking is the addition of animated on-wrist workouts, a first for Garmin, providing users with interactive guidance and motivation.
But the innovations don’t stop there. The Venu 3 introduces a built-in speaker and microphone, enabling you to effortlessly make and receive calls directly from your wrist. It’s a feature that brings to mind some of the best Apple Watch models, adding a touch of convenience and connectivity to your daily routine.
In the realm of smartwatches, the Garmin Venu 3 emerges as a compelling choice, offering an impressive blend of style, functionality, and cutting-edge features. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a sleep aficionado, or simply seeking the perfect lifestyle companion, the Venu 3 has you covered. With Garmin’s dedication to innovation and user-centric design, this smartwatch is poised to be the go-to device for those seeking a well-rounded wearable experience.
