With its new Venu 3, Garmin proves that a highly equipped smartwatch can also be stylish. Light and comfortable, it accompanies you without incident throughout the day, and offers numerous recommendations for taking care of your body and your health.
Leader in the market for connected watches intended for athletes, Garmin has made a name for itself thanks to the remarkable precision of its products. Generally imposing watches, with unique looks, particularly because they accommodate numerous sensors.
Drawing on its experience in the field, the American brand has however managed to make its connected accessories more discreet, but still as complete. Proof of this is with the new Garmin Venu 3, unveiled last August at a price of 499.99 euros. A device that serves as both a sports coach and a health advisor.
A chic watch overflowing with resources
Specializing in high-precision sports connected watches, Garmin returns with a model that is as stylish as it is efficient: the Venu 3. A worthy successor to the Venu 2, already praised for its sober and discreet design, this new version has the most beautiful effect and can be worn on any occasion.
Garmin has taken care of every detail and allows you to easily personalize it according to your desires and needs. Available in leather or silicone, the straps of the Venu 3 can be changed in a jiffy, just like the dials on its bright 1.4-inch AMOLED touch screen.
In addition, once on the wrist, the Venu 3 knows how to be forgotten as it is light. Despite all the onboard technologies and its large battery offering up to 14 days of autonomy, this connected watch only weighs 46 grams. A weight that drops to 40 grams on its 41 mm Venu 3S variant, more suitable for small wrists.
Sport yes, but health above all
If the Venu 3 has strong arguments for athletes, this connected watch is above all very useful for taking care of your health. Garmin has equipped it with a series of sensors, allowing you to monitor daily changes in your heart rate, blood oxygenation rate (SpO2), the quality of your sleep, and even your stress level.
While most connected watches deliver this data in a raw way, the Venu 3 goes much further and provides practical advice to move towards better well-being. Sleep also plays a central role in this model, as it influences health, physical fitness and even the quality of sports training.
The Venu 3 classically measures the duration of sleep cycles and indicates whether it is of quality, that is to say whether it is sufficiently restorative. Depending on the scores obtained and the various constants measured, the connected watch delivers a series of recommendations for better sleep and specifies what sleep duration is optimal. As a bonus, the Venu 3 includes a rare feature on the market: analysis of the quality of naps.
In addition to advanced sleep monitoring, this connected watch provides some tools to combat stress whenever it arises. Breathing and meditation exercises are integrated and available in one click.
Good recovery is essential for training well
Sports tracking is one of the main strengths of Garmin smartwatches and the Venu 3 is no exception. This model meets the needs of most athletes and supports 30 different physical activities, ranging from running to golf, including fitness, weight training and even swimming, with the Venu 3 being 5 ATM waterproof.
Whether you are a beginner or experienced, this connected watch accompanies you at every stage of your training. It all starts before your sports session. The Venu 3 analyzes your constants, the quality of sleep last night and determines whether it is appropriate to train or whether it is better to postpone the session until the next day. The device seeks to optimize your sporting performance, without harming your body.
Fit and ready to move? The Venu 3 offers lively and varied coaching in bodybuilding and fitness. Running enthusiasts are not left out and take advantage of informed training programs to prepare for a 10 km race or even a half-marathon.
You can also create your own programs, including split programs, to significantly improve your performance. The Venu 3 also adapts to people with reduced mobility and measures their physical activities more accurately.
Once the sports session is over, it’s time to recover. Here again, the Venu 3 follows this step closely as it is crucial. To measure its effectiveness, the device tells you the heart rate variability, that is to say the regularity of your heart rate. Important data which says a lot about your current state of form, and which can influence your next training sessions.
The Venu 3 is therefore an asset for adopting good practices and taking care of your body and your health on a daily basis. This is available from 499.99 euros on the Garmin online store.
