Upgrade to Garmin's Impressive Venu 3 While It's $100 Off

Smartwatches are a great asset for fitness buffs and those looking to stay motivated on their personal wellness journey. There are plenty of excellent options out there, but top models can be expensive so it’s worth seeking out deals when you’re ready to upgrade. Garmin’s Venu 3 is our top choice for those looking for a fitness smartwatch. It’s compatible with both Android and iOS and it’s down to just $350 thanks to a $100 price cut at Amazon ahead of Black Friday. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen for this model. We’re not sure how long this deal will stick around, so act soon to avoid disappointment.

The Venu 3 offers comprehensive health and sleep metrics and unlike some competitors in the marketplace, you won’t need an added subscription to access the reports. There are some downsides to this model, such as the small app ecosystem, lack of a home button and slow app downloads. But the large screen is a nice feature and it has an impressive battery life, too, lasting about a week on a single charge according to CNET expert Lisa Eadicicco in her hands-on review. And you’ll also get all the fitness features you expect from a top tier smartwatch.
