Garmin is rolling out support for ECG for a number of its smartwatch models. The company announced the Marq Carbon Collection of premium smartwatches a couple of days ago and has now released Garmin’s electrocardiogram (ECG) app for its existing wearable models.

Garmin ECG app launched for Fenix 7 Pro, Epix 2 Pro, and more

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the brand’s electrocardiogram application, which brings support for the feature on Garmin smartwatches that were recently announced. The FDA approval now expands the app’s usage to the Fenix 7 Pro, Epix 2 Pro, Venu 3, and even the Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition. So now, it is possible to record heart rhythms with these smartwatches to check for signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib).

This feature doesn’t require any add on. In an official announcement, Garmin added that the software records 30 second ECGs. Notably, the ECG app will be offered to Epix 2 Pro, Fenix 7 Pro, Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition, and Venu 3 series of watches that are paired to smartphones that have Garmin’s latest software. Users can view this on any of the smartwatches listed above or from the Garmin Connect smartphone app.

However, it is worth noting that the feature is only being rolled out in certain regions at the moment. As of right now, the smart wearable maker has released this support in Hong Kong, Vietnam, and the US. Furthermore, Garmin has made the ECG app for users who are at least 22 years old. In other words, the ECG feature support isn’t rolling out globally.

Garmin has today launched the new Venu 3 and Venu 3S smartwatches with several improvements. Although the smartwatches look similar to Venu 2 and 2S, they bring new health-tracking modes, including one that lets you track your naps. The wearables bring up to a 14-day battery life and AMOLED touchscreens.

The Venu 3S measures 41 mm and the Venu is 45 mm. Garmin is introducing new health and fitness features for the Venu 3 series, including nap detection, sleep coaching, and meditation. These features are designed to help users track their sleep, improve their mental wellness, and recover from workouts.

Garmin is also making the Venu 3 more inclusive by introducing a dedicated wheelchair mode and incorporating new workouts tailored for wheelchair users. The Venu 3 boasts a 1.4-inch AMOLED display with a crisp 454 x 454-pixel resolution, while its counterpart, the Venu 3S, features a slightly smaller 1.2-inch AMOLED display with a native resolution of 390 x 390 pixels.

Notably, Garmin positions its extended battery life as a distinguishing feature. The company claims up to 10 days of battery life for the more compact Venu 3S and an impressive 14 days for the Venu 3. It’s worth noting that these battery life estimates do decrease significantly when GNSS location services are activated. For instance, with all-systems GNSS mode engaged, the Venu 3 is rated for up to 20 hours of use. The Venu 3 series also comes with 8 GB of built-in storage and an NFC chip for making contactless payments.

The Garmin Venu 3 series is available for purchase at a price tag of US$449.99. This is for all finishes and sizes.

Garmin is reportedly working on the Venu 3 series smartwatches. They are rumoured to debut next month probably at the upcoming IFA in Berlin. A recent leak revealed key detail about the upcoming smartwatches from the popular wearables maker. Now, ahead of the official launch, the Venu 3 and Venu 3S have surfaced in leaked renders revealing their design. The devices will arrive as the successor to the Venu 2 and Venu 2S that were launched way back in 2021. 

Garmin Venu 3 and Venu 3S leaked renders

The leaked renders reveal the Garmin Venu 3 and Venu 3S with a circular dial and three physical buttons on the right side. The left side seems to have a speaker grille and there is a pogo pin for charging on the bottom surface. Both smartwatches will be water-resistant up to 5 meters.

The Venu 3 will be offered in a 45mm dial size paired with 21mm watch bands whereas the Venu 3S will come in a 41mm option with 18mm bands. We could also notice a bezel surrounding the display. The Venu 3 will come in a Slate color with a Black strap and a Passivated option with a White band. On the other hand, the Venu 3S will be offered in Soft Gold (Ivory and French Grey Straps), French Gold (Pink Dawn strap), Slate (Pebble Grey), and Passivated (Sage Grey) colors 

As per the renders, the Garmin Venu 3 series will be equipped with a heart-rate sensor and body battery monitor. It will also feature a sleep coach that will factor in naps where a 20-minute nap decreases the overall sleep need for that day. The upcoming smartwatches are also rumored to pack a skin temperature sensor for detecting early signs of fever. However, it is only said to work when the user is asleep. 

We can expect the Garmin Venu 3 and Venu 3S smartwatches to launch in the coming days.

The post Garmin Venu 3, Venu 3S Surface In Official-Looking Renders Revealing Design And Color Options appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post Garmin Venu 3 rumored to have sleep coach and skin temperature sensor appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new leak indicates that Garmin is preparing to launch the Garmin Venu 3 and Garmin Venu 3S next month. The two new Garmin smartwatches are replacements for the Venu 2 series from 2021. It is rumored that the Garmin Venu 3 and Venu 3S will be unveiled during IFA 2023 in Berlin.

The details about the Garmin Venu 3 and Venu 3S were released by tipster @fttest_en. The leaker says that Garmin is seemingly putting the finishing touches to the Venu 3 series with at least two variants. The Venu 2 series debuted two years ago and, last year, the Venu 2 Plus was added. The model numbers of the two upcoming models were given as A04542 (Venu 3S) and A04543 (Venu 3).

The Garmin Venu 3S will feature GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity, thus putting it in a high pedestal. The inclusion of Wi-Fi on the model means that Garmin will not release a dedicated Music variant. The Venu 3S will reportedly be available in Dust Rose and Soft Gold color variants. This is likely in terms of its strap and case color.

The Garmin Venu 3 and Garmin Venu 3S are speculated to be released during IFA 2023 in Berlin between September 1 and 5. There is no official confirmation yet from Garmin on the release date of the upcoming models. Additionally, pricing and availability information for the two new Garmin smartwatches are lacking at this time.
