Know before you buy
Yes, the Venu 3S features a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing you to make and receive phone calls directly from your wrist when connected to your compatible smartphone via Bluetooth.
The 41mm case diameter is specifically designed for a more compact, comfortable fit. Combined with its lightweight 39.7g build and 18mm strap width, it is well-suited for smaller wrists and remains unobtrusive during sleep or daily wear.
Yes, the Venu 3S is fully compatible with both iOS and Android operating systems. You will need to download the Garmin Connect app on your phone to sync your data and manage your device settings.
Garmin claims up to 14 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. However, real-world usage—such as frequent GPS tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, or using the always-on display—will reduce this, so expect to charge it roughly once a week with moderate activity.
It features built-in GPS, meaning you can track your outdoor runs, walks, and rides accurately without needing to carry your phone with you.
The Venu 3S provides comprehensive sleep tracking, including a sleep score and personalized coaching. It monitors your sleep stages, heart rate variability, and stress levels throughout the night to give you a clearer picture of your recovery.
