• Automatic detection of naps lasting between 10 minutes and 3 hours
• Integration of nap data into Body Battery and Sleep Coach metrics
• Personalized sleep recommendations based on age, activity levels, and physiological data
• Ability to manually input nap times for greater accuracy
• Sleep score and coaching to help you optimize rest and recovery

Ensure Inclusivity with Wheelchair Mode and Accessibility

The Garmin Venu 3 series introduces groundbreaking accessibility features, particularly its Wheelchair Mode, designed to provide comprehensive health and fitness tracking for wheelchair users. When activated, this mode adapts the watch's functionality, tracking daily pushes instead of steps and offering wheelchair-specific sports apps and workouts. The watch’s algorithms are tailored to enhance the accuracy of key insights, including improved energy expenditure estimates and intensity tracking, specifically accounting for the physiological demands of wheelchair users.

• Customizable glances and apps for wheelchair-focused activities like indoor and outdoor pushing and handcycling
• Weight shift alerts to encourage proper posture and help prevent pressure sores
• Compatibility with cadence and speed sensors for more accurate distance and speed tracking
• Adjustments to VO2 max estimates and disabling of incident detection when in wheelchair mode
• Two font size options for improved readability of notifications and workout data

These accessibility features make the Garmin Venu 3 a strong option for wheelchair users seeking a comprehensive fitness tracking solution.

Monitor Vitals with Pulse Ox and Skin Temperature Tracking

The Garmin Venu 3 includes advanced health monitoring capabilities, featuring a wrist-based pulse oximeter and skin temperature tracking. The pulse oximeter measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) by shining light through the skin and analyzing absorption, offering insights into your overall health and how you adapt to altitude. Skin temperature tracking, introduced via a software update, monitors changes during sleep that can be related to activity levels, sleep environment, or potential illness.

• Pulse oximeter readings displayed as SpO2 percentage on the watch
• Detailed pulse oximeter data trends available in Garmin Connect
• Skin temperature variations visible in sleep score data
• Temperature data graphed for long-term trend analysis
• Both metrics combine with heart rate, stress, and respiratory rate tracking for deeper health insights

Optimize Rest with Advanced Sleep Cycle Analysis

The Garmin Venu 3 enhances sleep tracking through its Advanced Sleep Monitoring feature, offering detailed insights into sleep cycles and overall sleep quality. It tracks multiple metrics throughout the night, including sleep stages (awake, REM, light, and deep sleep), heart rate variability, and overnight movements. This data is then synthesized into a comprehensive Sleep Score on a scale from 1 to 100, giving you a clear snapshot of your nightly rest.

• Automatic tracking of sleep duration and stages
• Heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring during sleep
• Blood oxygen level and respiration rate tracking
• Personalized sleep recommendations through the Sleep Coach
• Morning Report feature summarizing sleep data and daily readiness

Elevate Sleep Quality with Personalized Improvement Tips

The Garmin Venu 3’s Sleep Coach goes beyond basic sleep tracking by providing personalized recommendations to improve sleep quality. These tailored tips are based on your sleep patterns, activity levels, and physiological data. For example, if the watch detects consistently low deep sleep, it may suggest adjusting your bedtime routine or reducing screen time before bed.

• Customized bedtime and wake-up schedules based on sleep history and daily activity
• Recommendations for optimal nap duration and timing to complement nighttime sleep
• Suggestions for pre-sleep activities like light stretching or reading to enhance relaxation
• Alerts to limit caffeine intake or avoid heavy meals close to bedtime
• Reminders to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends

These personalized tips help you make informed decisions about your sleep habits, potentially leading to better rest and improved daytime performance.

Customize Metrics for Diverse Mobility Needs

The Garmin Venu 3 offers customizable mobility metrics for users of all abilities, whether you’re running, cycling, or using a wheelchair. In wheelchair mode, the device tracks daily pushes instead of steps and provides wheelchair-specific sports apps and workouts. You can also customize data screens for different activities, displaying metrics like push count, speed, and distance.

• Ability to create custom workouts directly on the watch
• Over 30 built-in sports apps for various activity tracking
• Customizable alerts for heart rate, pace, time, distance, and calories
• Integration with cadence and speed sensors for more accurate wheelchair metrics
• Personalized data fields for running, cycling, or wheelchair pushing

Safeguard Wellness with Continuous Blood Oxygen Monitoring

The Garmin Venu 3 offers continuous blood oxygen monitoring through its advanced pulse oximeter feature. This wrist-based sensor measures your SpO2 levels around the clock, giving you valuable insights into your overall health and fitness. You can choose to enable all-day tracking for a complete view of oxygen saturation trends.

• Option to take on-demand SpO2 readings or enable continuous tracking
• SpO2 percentage displayed directly on the watch face
• Integration with sleep tracking to monitor oxygen levels during rest
• Trend analysis in Garmin Connect for long-term health insights
• Potential to detect unusual breathing patterns, indicating issues like sleep disorders or altitude adaptation

While blood oxygen monitoring can be a useful wellness indicator, it is not intended for medical diagnosis and should be considered alongside other health metrics.

Analyze Nightly Patterns with Skin Temperature Trends

The Garmin Venu 3’s skin temperature tracking feature, introduced in a software update, provides insights into nightly temperature variations. After wearing the watch for several nights, it establishes a personal baseline, then measures changes against that baseline. You can review average skin temperature changes in your Sleep summary within Garmin Connect, displayed as deviations rather than absolute values.

• Data collection over multiple nights to establish a personal temperature baseline
• Graphs showing temperature variations for trend analysis
• Potential insights into factors influencing body temperature, such as activity, sleep environment, or illness
• Integration with other health metrics for a more complete view of overall wellness
• Possible future applications for fertility tracking or early illness detection

Gain Comprehensive Health Insights from Biometrics

The Garmin Venu 3 uses biometric data to offer a comprehensive look at your health, going beyond basic fitness tracking. By analyzing factors like heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen levels, and skin temperature, the watch presents a holistic view of your wellness status. The Body Battery feature then combines these biometrics with activity and stress data to estimate your energy levels throughout the day, guiding you on when to exercise or rest.

• Workout Benefits analysis, showing how each activity affects overall health and suggesting recovery time
• HRV Status, revealing insights into stress levels and wellness after consistent data collection
• Sleep Score, merging different sleep metrics to evaluate sleep quality and offer personalized coaching
• Stress tracking based on HRV fluctuations during the day
• Potential for early detection of health issues through long-term trend analysis

These insights empower you to make data-driven decisions about your lifestyle, helping you address potential concerns early and maintain better overall health.
