- Heart rate measurement accurate
- Special sports modes
- Few apps
- Complicated menu
- Housing susceptible to scratches
The Venu 3S impresses with its many sports functions. During testing, the heart rate measurement was highly accurate and there are also many analyses of physical performance. This allows you to customise your own training. However, as is typical for Garmin, the controls take some getting used to.
