There are smartwatches, and then there are smartwatches made by Garmin. The brand has built a reputation with its watches that deliver accurate health and fitness tracking while also offering great battery life. The Garmin Venu 3 delivers with form and function.

It's the one to get if you're thinking about buying your first smartwatch or switching from a Wear OS wearable. Amazon currently has the Venu 3 priced at $299, which is 32% below its usual retail price of $450. This is one of the lower prices that we've seen for this product over the past year.

This smartwatch does it all

We had the pleasure of reviewing the Venu 3 smartwatch and really loved what it had to offer. Simple and sleek design, long battery life, great connectivity, and a fantastic set of features. It really is the smartwatch that can do it all.

You get a bright and vibrant AMOLED screen, 14-day battery life, and plenty of sensors to track all the vital health and fitness metrics. The watch even tracks sleep and stress levels, and compiles it all into an easy-to-read morning report that keeps you on track.

Garmin Coach can help with your runs, and there's even built-in workouts that can assist you with your fitness journey. You can get on calls and receive notifications to the wrist, and pay at checkout terminals using Garmin Pay.

There's plenty of storage space on the watch if you want to download your music. For the most part, this watch has everything you need. If you want, you can also download new apps and watch faces from the Connect IQ Store.

However, we think that the watch is fairly robust when it comes to functionality and features straight out of the box. Just be sure to get it while it's still on sale.
