Final yr, Garmin introduced the Venu Sq 2 on Thursday, 1st of September, the day earlier than the occasion began. Subsequently, I’d anticipate a repeat of final yr with an announcement date of the 31st of August, 2023.
The unique Garmin Venu was additionally launched at IFA.

Much like the earlier launch, the brand new Venu 3 will are available two sizes, with the 3S being a smaller mannequin.

Leaked Photographs
Mysmartprice has managed to pay money for the official renders of the brand new watch. This occurs so much with client electronics, nevertheless it seems to all the time occur with Garmin launches proper earlier than the official announcement.
Anticipated Options
Garmin will virtually actually combine a lot of the brand new expertise we’ve got seen of their current launches, together with the flagship Garmin Epix 2, Fenix 7 Professional and Forerunner 965.
Bigger Show
It’s possible that the show measurement might be fractionally bigger in relation to the chassis measurement.
ECG
ECG was launched with the Venu 2 Plus, so it appears very possible that this characteristic might be stored for the Venu 3.
Multiband GNSS & SatIQ
It is best to have a extra correct GPS because of the multiband GNSS that has been used on all of the current watches.
With this, you may run your watch in GPS-only mode for improved battery or all methods mode, which provides you with entry to GPS+GLONASS+Galileo+Beidou.
Multiband then permits the watch to obtain two bands from the identical satellite tv for pc. This permits the watch to enhance positioning when utilizing the system in difficult environments. It’s because built-up areas could cause interference, and receiving two bands permits it to filter out inaccurate alerts reflecting off of buildings, bushes, or mountains.
SatIQ is a expertise that enables Garmin watches to dynamically regulate the GPS settings primarily based on the setting. For instance, in case you are working in the midst of a built-up metropolis and a forest, it should allow Multiband GNSS, however in open areas, it should swap to the decrease powered single band GPS-only mode.
Garmin Gen 5 Elevate Optical Coronary heart Fee Sensor
It’s inevitable that the brand new Venu 3 will use the newest Gen 5 Elevate sensor, which makes use of extra LEDs and has a bigger sensor space.
This new sensor ought to permit some superior options that will or might not characteristic on this watch. This consists of ECG, sleep teaching and wrist temperature.
Garmin Sleep Teaching
Photographs of the watch UI point out that sleep teaching might be current, which is a brand new large characteristic that may launch with the Venu 3 however ought to roll out to different Gen 5 Elevate-equipped watches, such because the Epix 2 and Fenix 7.
This requires knowledge out of your wrist temperature and can take a look at HRV’s influence in your sleep high quality.
Recommendation for optimising your sleep patterns could be generated from an array of metrics, reminiscent of Coronary heart Fee Variability (HRV) and your general exercise ranges. This steerage goals to help you in sustaining a constant sleep routine.
Muscle Heatmap
The leaked UI pictures additionally verify a brand new complete physique muscle heatmap, which can give superior suggestions on your power coaching workout routines.
Rotating Bezel
Some websites, together with Mysmartprice, have reported it should have a rotating bezel, however in addition they said that this was on the Venu 2, which might be incorrect. I feel this characteristic is predicated on a guess as a result of textured bezel, which the Venu 2 additionally had.
Anticipated Value
The Garmin Venu had an RRP of £299.99 when it was launched again in 2019. The Venu 2 then launched for £349.99, and the two Plus was once more £50 extra at £399.99.
A better value appears inevitable, however Garmin is already skirting very near the Apple Watch Collection 8 £419 value. I recognize that they’re two fairly totally different merchandise, however pricing the Venu 3 larger than the Apple Watch looks like it could be a nasty concept.
