The Garmin Venu® 3S in the Soft Gold Stainless Steel Bezel with Ivory Case and Silicone Band configuration is a GPS smartwatch built for everyday wear, fitness tracking, and connected convenience. Its bright 1.2” AMOLED touchscreen display pairs with a lightweight 41 mm case and stainless steel bezel for a streamlined look and feel.
Designed for people who want deeper wellness insights alongside training tools, Venu 3S delivers health and wellness metrics such as sleep-related insights, HRV status, stress tracking, and Pulse Ox blood oxygen (spot-check, and optional all-day and in sleep). With up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, it supports longer stretches between charges, while built-in GPS and 30+ sports apps help track workouts across indoor and outdoor activities.
Connectivity
A built-in speaker and microphone enable phone calling directly on the watch when paired with a compatible smartphone. Venu 3S can also use a smartphone’s voice assistant to help respond to text messages and handle everyday tasks, keeping key communication within easy reach during busy days or workouts.
Training
With more than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps, Venu 3S supports a wide range of ways to move, including walking, running, cycling and pool swimming. It also provides workout benefit and recovery time insights to help interpret how sessions impact the body and plan what comes next.
Display
This configuration combines a Soft Gold Stainless Steel bezel with an Ivory case and Silicone band. The watch uses Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 over the display and includes Quick Release bands for easy swaps using 18 mm, Industry standard sizing. Swim, 5 ATM water rating supports wear in the pool.
Health
Venu 3S brings daily wellness together with Body Battery™ energy monitoring and a Sleep Coach experience. It shows energy levels throughout the day and connects those trends with sleep, naps, daily activity, and high stress. Sleep tracking adds deeper context with a sleep score, sleep stage tracking, nap detection, and key overnight metrics such as HRV status and skin temperature, helping build a clearer picture of recovery patterns over time.
Training
From structured training to simple daily movement, Venu 3S supports planning and feedback across activities. Animated on-screen workouts for strength, HIIT, yoga and more are available in the Garmin Connect app, and workouts can be built from more than 1,600 exercises in Garmin Connect and sent to the watch. Runners can also use wrist-based running power and wrist-based running dynamics to see metrics such as cadence, stride length, and ground contact time.
Audio
When paired with iPhone® or Android™ smartphones, Venu 3S supports smart notifications for emails, texts, and alerts. With an Android phone, it can respond to texts using an on-watch keyboard and view photos from notifications. For everyday convenience, Garmin Pay™ contactless payments are supported with participating providers, and music can be downloaded from Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music or YouTube® Music accounts for phone-free listening (subscription may be required).
