Garmin's Venu lineup is a paradox: it's a testing ground for its newest and most exciting features and upgrades, but also more generic than its siblings in an attempt to appeal to mainstream buyers. The Garmin Venu was its first AMOLED watch, the Venu Sq its first squircle design, and the Venu 2 Plus the first to add a mic & speaker. The Garmin Venu 3 follows that experimental template to a T.
The Venu 3 announcement intrigued us with new tools like Sleep Coaching tech with nap detection, guided meditation, wheelchair mode, a smarter UI, and a revamped Elevate v5 sensor capable of ECG readings and skin temperature readings (though the latter is still dormant). It also snagged the mic and speaker from the Venu 2 Plus.
