I'm waiting for the Venu 4 to get this cheap. It has the newer unified OS/GUI. The 3 will probably have much more limited support because it's one of the older unique OS/GUI's. Way more work for them to keep updated.

Venu3 is interesting in that it was one of the first Garmin watches with built-in ECG

but yeah wait for new models in a few months to push all the prices down

you don't want an end-of-life Garmin watch, they stop fixing even bugs in the firmware, forget new features

I recently upgraded to the 4 after the battery on my Venu 2 was finally shot after five years of literal everyday use. Love some of the updates it has received since the 2, but I suggest looking into issues some report about the auto-brightness of the screen – my vision is kinda shitty and one of the main reasons I'm such a big advocate of OLED screens is how damn bright they can be... but Garmin's own firmware kinda kneecaps its visibility (for me) in dim surroundings and thus far they've done nothing to address it.

Bit lazy of a comment, but this is correct

Sam's has it for $289 on sale arguably with a better return policy

Great watch, I had the Venu 2 plus as well and now the 3. This is the middle button so you can reply to texts vis Siri or Assistant; you can also answer calls on this watch within reach of your phone.

Check out DCrainmaker's YT videos about it.. https://youtu.be/ouYZpncC7Lw?si=zC4TTUepyrH0AEsX

or DeFit, they both really like this watch. Yes this watch came out a couple years ago but still a fantastic watch and battery lift, especially for this price.

Venu 3 = 22mm band
Venu 3s = 18mm band size & tons of bands on Amazon that work~

This also has E-Bike, so if you MTN bike.. you can record vis E, if you have one. Has the regular non-E as well.

Usually a few years but they support stuff for awhile even when it's not "current gen"

My Venu 2 went screwy a few months ago after a trip tot he waterpark. The heart rate sensor, sleep tracking and other functions stopped working. It still receives notifications and texts, counts steps and works with y heart rate strap. I was shocked to see the price of the Venu 4. I still think I'm holding out for that price to drop rather than grab this one.

Feels like this should be lower priced. It was on sale regularly for $350 around the holidays in 2024, and that was before the Venu 4 was out. Desperately seeking a deal to upgrade my OG Venu with bad screen burn in..
