The Venu 3 leans toward the lifestyle and wellness end of Garmin’s lineup — AMOLED display, FDA-cleared ECG, on-watch calls via Bluetooth, and the same core sleep / HRV tracking as the Fenix line. Body Battery and the Morning Report are both here; what it lacks against the Forerunner and Fenix tiers is a Training Readiness score. The Venu 4 has since added Training Readiness and multi-band GNSS; Garmin still sells the 3.
