ADDITIONAL VIDEO NOTES:
On basically every smartwatch ranking the Apple Watch or Galaxy watch will be the #1, and yet my goto watch lately has been an unlikely winner. The smartwatch I have been wearing everyday has actually been Garmin’s deviation away from sports watches. This is their everyday smartwatch, but why would I prefer it over the tried and true flagships from Samsung and Apple? There are really 5 main reasons, but one big drawback that may make this the wrong watch for some people.
This is the new Garmin Venu 3. So compared to the 2 and 2 plus, there are massive improvements here. Now I can’t get into the 5 reasons I prefer this watch without first showing you what we’re dealing with
About the watch physical design
3 buttons the interface tour will show you why I am surprised by these buttons
Speaker
Mic for taking calls from wrist
Interchangeable 22mm band
1.4” AMOLED vs old 1.3” yet longer battery life 14 days per charge
Stainless steel case but unlike the 2 plus, the back appears to be plastic
New Elevate v5 sensor on the rear is even more accurate and capable
So this new sensor actually does more than just improve accuracy. It unlocks new features for this watch. Take a look at the sleep tracking for example. A huge improvement for this watch.
Sleep: nap detection
Sleep coach
Sleep recommendations
All night HRV tracking
Perhaps my favorite new feature morning briefing
Jetlag advisor
Now before we get into the accuracy testing, let’s talk about the price. You can order this from the sponsor of today’s video, BestBuy. Both sizes have the same price
Two sizes once again, 41mm is the 3s, 45mm is the 3
$449 for either model
5 colors for the s, 2 for the 3
Discuss the difference between the 3 and 3s
