A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S The Garmin Venu 4 (released in late 2025) is a significant upgrade over the Venu 3, moving the series closer to a high-end sports watch like the Forerunner while keeping its "lifestyle" look. Here are a few of the biggest differences/updates: Built-in LED Flashlight All-Metal Case The Venu 4 has two buttons, while the Venu 3 has three. Garmin moved more controls to the touchscreen and voice interface on the newer model for a cleaner look. The Venu 4 supports dual-frequency (multi-band) GPS for much better accuracy in cities with tall buildings or under heavy tree cover. The Venu 3 uses standard All-Systems GPS. Both use the Elevate Gen 5 heart rate sensor (capable of ECG and Skin Temperature), but the Venu 4 has updated firmware for better health trending data. Training Readiness: A score that tells you how ready you are for a hard workout based on sleep, recovery, and stress. Training Status & Load: Insights into whether your training is "productive," "peaking," or "straining." Running Dynamics: Vertical oscillation and ground contact time (previously required a chest strap or a Forerunner watch). Sleep Alignment: Tracks how your sleep patterns align with your circadian rhythm. Lifestyle Logging: Allows you to log caffeine and alcohol intake directly on the watch to see how they impact your recovery. Smart Wake Alarm: Wakes you up during a light sleep cycle within a window of your set alarm time.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S The Garmin Venu 3S might cause nickel allergy issues because its stainless steel components (clasp, back) can release nickel, but many users with nickel sensitivity find it manageable by keeping it clean, avoiding prolonged wetness, or using alternative straps, while others react significantly, so it's a risk requiring careful monitoring and proactive care, especially if the irritation occurs around the charging port. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S. The Garmin Venu 3S may not be suitable for someone with a nickel allergy as its stainless steel components (bezel, buckle, and buttons) contain trace amounts of nickel. While the watch meets international safety standards for skin contact, individuals with high sensitivity may still experience a reaction. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S. You should pick the Garmin Venu 3S over the Garmin Lily watch if you prioritize a comprehensive, advanced set of features including onboard GPS, music storage, on-screen workouts, and the ability to take calls directly from your wrist, as the Lily is a more basic, style-focused option. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S Garmin Venu 3S bands, particularly silicone ones, may contain detectable levels of fluorine, a marker for PFAS "forever chemicals". Recent studies found high concentrations of PFAS in many popular smart fitness trackers, though specific brand-by-brand results were not all detailed in the findings.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3S Yes, the Garmin Venu 3s can work with Samsung Galaxy S22 phones, but it may not work perfectly, and some users have reported issues like delayed syncing, problems with phone call functionality, and Bluetooth connectivity problems. While it's possible to get a Venu 3s and a Samsung phone to work together, it is not a seamless experience for everyone, and firmware updates may be required.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Venu 3 The Garmin Venu 3 has an ECG app that can detect signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) through a 30-second on-demand reading. To use it, you place your fingers on the bezel while the watch is on your wrist, and the app analyzes the electrical signals to check for an irregular rhythm. The results are saved and can be exported to share with a doctor, but the app is not intended to replace a professional medical diagnosis or detect heart attacks.

A: Yes, the Garmin Venu 3S is capable of providing golf information, including distances to the pin, though with a small manual step.
