Our take on the Garmin Venu 3S Health Fitness GPS Smartwatch

The Venu 3S is Garmin's smaller-size health and fitness GPS smartwatch, aimed at people who want detailed body tracking without a bulky watch. It stands out with Body Battery energy monitoring, sleep coaching with nap detection, HRV status, 30-plus built-in sports apps including wheelchair modes, and on-wrist calling through a built-in speaker and microphone when paired to a phone. It also covers music storage and Garmin Pay. Against rivals like the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, it trades app breadth for multi-day battery life and deeper recovery metrics, and owners tend to praise the health insights and battery while noting the smart features are narrower.

About the Garmin Venu 3S Health Fitness GPS Smartwatch

The Garmin Venu 3S is a smaller-sized GPS smartwatch with a bright, colorful display and up to 10 days of battery life. It tracks health and fitness data, including energy, sleep, stress, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. The data presented is intended to be a close estimation of the metrics tracked.

For sleep, it gives a sleep score, personalized coaching, sleep stage tracking, nap detection and HRV status. Body Battery energy monitoring shows energy levels through the day, with insights based on sleep, naps, stress and workouts. A morning report summarizes sleep, recovery, the daily calendar and HRV status, and it can be customized.

More than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps cover walking, running, cycling, pool swimming and activities for wheelchair users. Animated workouts, workout benefit and recovery time, and adaptive Garmin Coach training plans support training. When paired with a smartphone, the built-in speaker and microphone let you make and take calls from the watch, and you can reply to texts with your phone's voice assistant.

Questions and answers

How is the Venu 3S different from the Venu 3?
The 3S is the smaller-case version with a smaller screen; the health, sports and calling features are the same. Choose the 3S for a lighter fit and the Venu 3 for a larger display.
Does it make calls without my phone?
No. Calls go through the built-in speaker and microphone, but the watch must be paired to your smartphone over Bluetooth.
Can I store music and pay from the wrist?
Yes. It has music storage for offline listening and Garmin Pay contactless payments, though payments require a supported country and payment network.
Is it good for wheelchair users?
Yes. It includes sports apps and activity profiles designed for active wheelchair users, along with push-tracking metrics.
How accurate are Body Battery and HRV?
Garmin presents these as close estimates based on sleep, stress and activity, not clinical measurements. They are best used as trends over time.
Do I need a phone nearby for GPS runs?
No. The watch has built-in GPS, so it tracks distance and pace without your phone.
