Garmin is preparing to launch the Venu 3 smartwatch later this year. Gadgets & Wearables has now published photos of the unreleased watch. The Venu 3 references first appeared on the SIRIM database in May alongside the Venu 3S. Earlier this month, leaker @fttest_en discovered more details about both watches. Now, leaks from the Gadgets & Wearables give more insights about the Venu 3. 

Specifically, a new software screenshot from the Garmin Connect app suggests that the upcoming Garmin Venu 3 smartwatch will have a skin temperature sensor. 

This could be a valuable addition for a variety of health and wellness purposes, such as tracking sleep, detecting the early signs of fever, monitoring overtraining, and tracking menstrual cycles.

However, Garmin’s skin temperature sensor is said to only work while you are asleep. This is because environmental factors and physical exertion can interfere with readings during waking hours.

Besides, the Venu 3 smartwatch is rumored to have a new sleep coaching tool that will analyze your sleep stages and provide insights to improve your rest quality. 

It will also factor in naps where a 20-minute nap decreases the overall sleep need for that day. This suggests that the Venu 3 will take into account your daily exercise, training, and sleep history to give you a personalized sleep recommendation.

All in all, the combination of sleep coaching and skin temperature tracking is a promising development for upcoming Garmin smartwatches. The Venu 3 is expected to be released sometime in late September.
