The Garmin Venu® 3S in Slate Stainless Steel Bezel with Pebble Gray Case and Silicone Band is a GPS smartwatch designed for everyday wear, training, and wellness-focused tracking. Its bright 1.2” AMOLED touchscreen makes stats easy to read at a glance, while the lightweight 41 mm case keeps it comfortable from workouts to sleep.
With detailed health and wellness insights, more than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps, and tools like workout benefit and recovery time, it suits people who want clearer guidance on effort, rest, and daily routines. When paired with a compatible smartphone, it can also make calls and support texting features, helping the wearer stay connected without reaching for a phone.
Health
Body Battery™ energy monitoring helps track energy levels throughout the day, showing when the body may be ready for activity or when it may be time to recharge. It also adds personal insights on how sleep, naps, daily activities, and high stress can influence energy, making it easier to plan training and recovery.
Training
Sleep Coach provides a sleep score plus personalized guidance for how much sleep is needed and ways to improve. The watch can track sleep stages and naps, and it also surfaces key overnight metrics such as HRV status and skin temperature to help build a more complete picture of nightly recovery.
Connectivity
A built-in speaker and microphone allow phone calls to be made and received right from the watch when paired with a compatible smartphone. It can also use a smartphone’s voice assistant to help respond to text messages and handle other actions without pulling the phone out mid-workout or on the go.
Training
Venu® 3S supports training with more than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps, including walking, running, cycling, and pool swimming, plus activities for wheelchair users. For structured sessions, it supports animated on-screen workouts for strength, HIIT, yoga and more available in the Garmin Connect app, along with Garmin Coach adaptive or prebuilt running, cycling or strength training plans. After sessions, workout benefit and recovery time help explain how each workout affects the body and how much time may be needed to recover.
Health
This smartwatch is built to deliver detailed health and wellness insights across the day. It tracks wrist-based heart rate, stress tracking, respiration, hydration logging, and HRV status while sleeping. It can also track Pulse Ox blood oxygen saturation while awake or asleep. Additional tools such as morning report, nap detection, and breathing variations help add context around sleep and recovery. Women’s health tracking supports menstrual cycle or pregnancy tracking, and it can provide improved period predictions and past ovulation estimates with skin temperature tracking while sleeping.
Connectivity
When paired with an iPhone® or Android™ smartphone, Venu® 3S can deliver smart notifications for emails, texts, and alerts. With an Android phone, it can support on-wrist texting using the on-watch keyboard and can display photos from notifications. For phone-free listening, it can download songs and playlists from Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music or YouTube® Music accounts (subscription may be required). It also supports Garmin Pay™ contactless payments with participating providers and adds customization through the Connect IQ™ Store.
