The Garmin Venu 3S impresses as a compact sports smartwatch when tested. As a smaller version of the Venu 3, it has a slightly smaller display and a weaker battery. However, this has no noticeable effect on performance. The operation is equally good and the battery life in particular is also excellent: in everyday mode without GPS, the battery life is a strong 3.5 days...

  • PositiveHeart rate measurement accurate
  • PositiveSpecial sports modes
  • NegativeFew apps
  • NegativeComplicated menu
  • NegativeHousing susceptible to scratches

The Venu 3S impresses with its many sports functions. During testing, the heart rate measurement was highly accurate and there are also many analyses of physical performance. This allows you to customise your own training. However, as is typical for Garmin, the controls take some getting used to.
