Malaysia, 6 September 2023 – Garmin Malaysia has unveiled its latest innovation in wearable technology, the Venu 3 and Venu 3S GPS smartwatches. These cutting-edge timepieces are meticulously designed to empower individuals on their health and fitness journeys. Boasting an array of features including comprehensive fitness insights, stunning AMOLED touchscreen displays, and remarkable battery life, the Venu 3 series aims to provide users with a holistic understanding of their well-being. Additionally, these smartwatches introduce groundbreaking functionalities for wheelchair users, enabling them to monitor pushes, engage in wheelchair-specific workouts, and more.
Enhancing Sleep and Health Monitoring
Garmin’s commitment to health is exemplified by the Venu 3 series. According to data gathered from January 2020 to March 2023, Malaysian Venu users recorded one of the lowest sleep scores in Asia, averaging 62.3 out of 100. Meanwhile, Venu users in Indonesia reported an even lower score of 62.2. To address these concerns, the Venu 3 introduces the Sleep Coach feature, an on-wrist personalized coach that automatically tracks sleep and nap times. It recommends optimal sleep and nap durations, enhancing sleep quality for users.
Seamless Connectivity and Communication
Staying connected has never been easier, whether at home or on the go. The Venu 3 series features a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing users to make phone calls or respond to text messages directly from their wrist when paired with a compatible Apple® or Android™ smartphone.
Extended Battery Life
Available in two sizes and designed for comfort during extended wear, the Venu 3 series offers an impressive battery life of up to 14 days in smartwatch mode. This extended battery life ensures users can monitor their health metrics around the clock, gaining insights into their stress levels, Body Battery, and sleep quality through personalized sleep coaching and nap detection.
Mr. Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager of Garmin Asia, commented, “No matter what your health and fitness journey looks like, Venu 3 is ready to support you every step of the way. Whether your focus is on meaningful rest and relaxation, getting a good workout in, chasing your next PR at an upcoming race, or anything in between, the exciting new features on the Venu 3 series provide even more personalized data, making it easier to understand your sleep and body like never before.”
Health and Wellness Tracking
The Venu 3 series is equipped with a wealth of health and wellness statistics, ensuring users stay informed about their well-being. With prolonged battery life, users have 24/7 access to features such as heart rate tracking, respiration monitoring, Pulse Ox measurements, stress tracking, and Body Battery energy level assessments. During sleep, the Venu 3 series monitors heart rate variability, providing deeper insights into overall health and offering personalized tips to mitigate the effects of jet lag during travel.
For Fitness Enthusiasts
Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the Venu 3 series’ versatility, featuring more than 30 built-in sports apps to track various physical activities, including walking, running, cycling, pool swimming, and workouts tailored for wheelchair users. The smartwatches also offer preloaded animated workouts for strength training, HIIT, Pilates, and yoga. Users can create custom step-by-step workouts from a selection of over 1,600 exercises using the Garmin Connect™ app and send them directly to the watch.
Garmin Coach adaptive training plans are available for those looking to prepare for a 5K or more extended races. Additionally, the Venu 3 series tracks daily steps, calories burned, floors climbed, moderate and vigorous intensity minutes, VO2 max during runs or bike rides, and cycling power in watts (when paired with a compatible power meter or indoor bike).
On-the-Go Connectivity
The Venu 3 series ensures connectivity even while on the move. Users can make and receive calls directly from the watch and receive emails, texts, and alerts when paired with their compatible smartphones. Safety features provide peace of mind by sending the user’s live location to chosen emergency contacts in case they feel unsafe or an incident is detected.
Music lovers can download songs and playlists from Spotify®, Amazon Music, and Deezer (subscription required) for phone-free listening. Users can also download apps, watch faces, and more from the Connect IQ™ Store directly on the watch or explore additional options in the smartphone app.
