Garmin has announced a new generation of smartwatches with the Venu 3. The Venu 3 is available as a standard version with a 1.4-inch display and as the Venu 3S with a smaller 1.2-inch screen.

Compared to the Venu 2, which was introduced in 2021, there is a new mode for wheelchair users. It offers six dedicated sports apps, metrics and a dedicated community for people who use wheelchairs. In total, there are more than 1,600 training exercises available in the Garmin Connect app that can be sent to the Venu 3.

Nap detection

Also new is sleep detection outside of the classic nighttime bedtime. This “nap detection” is intended for athletes who include a short daytime nap as part of their routine. According to Garmin, the watch helps assess whether the nap was efficient and when and for how long it is best to lie down to get maximum benefit from the break.

The Venu 3 also supports longer trips by giving tips on how to deal with jet lag. A new meditation profile is intended to guide you through exercises and relaxation sessions with audio – “mindfulness mantras” are also part of it, writes Garmin in a statement.

The internal memory is 8 GB. When it comes to battery life, Garmin promises up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, and up to 26 days in energy saving mode.
