But that's something we're seeing with most wearables these days. So, how does Garmin distinguish itself from the pack? It delivers devices that provide fantastic battery life. The Venu 3 is a perfect example: a simple design that packs everything you need, with up to 14 days of battery life on a single charge. And right now, you can't argue with the price either. Amazon is knocking 38% off the usual retail price of $450, dropping it down to its lowest yet at $280. 8.5/10 Case size 45mm Case Material Polymer with stainless steel bezel Display AMOLED Display resolution 454x454 Garmin's high-end fitness watches are known for accuracy and long battery life. The Venu 3 delivers on both fronts, focusing on top-notch sleep tracking and 14 days of battery life. Packing a large 1.4" AMOLED display, the fitness watch offers animated workouts, a built-in fitness coach, and all the health metrics you could need.

You get a nice and bright OLED screen, a durable build, and protection from the elements, which means you can use in nearly any condition. The watch also features a wealth of sensors that can track your health and wellness metrics, even factoring in sleep quality and stress levels in order to provide you with the bigger picture. If you're having trouble with workout goals, it can help you achieve them. It can even help you train for marathons. It even supplies a morning report to help you understand how your body is working. Since this is a smartwatch, you can make and take calls, get notifications on your wrist, and also make payments using the smartwatch. Again, it's a fairly complete piece of hardware and software. We spent some time with it and found that it was delightful. The only thing we didn't really like is that it comes with a proprietary charger. It's not what you want to see, but with a device this small, sometimes it just happens.
