We’re just about out of the summer and heading into the cooler weather. This has been an exceptionally hot and muggy season and the people who know that best are runners. The air has been thick and gross for months, but we’re finally catching some relief which is especially great for anyone planning on running the Chicago or NYC marathon this autumn. To get your training off on the right food, upgrade to a reliable fitness GPS watch that can help take you the extra mile. The Garmin Venu 3S is a premium smartwatch for runners that normally sells for $450. However, right now, it’s part of an Amazon deal that has cut it down by a whopping 36%. For a limited time, you can end up saving $162, getting the watch for just $288.

Designed for Your Lifestyle

The Gamin Venu 3S is well-suited for runners who also dip into some other outdoorsy activities. Garmin’s interface supports a wide range of activity, including dozens of different types. You can use it to track your running as well as log any hike, kayak or paddleboard outing, game of golf, or rock climb you embark on—plus many others. The built-in Garmin Coach can also work to aid in managing your recovery between activities, such as by leading you through guided meditations.

At its heart, the Gamin Venu 3S is still a smartwatch. While wearing it, you’ll be able to receive text messages or other notification, answer incoming phone calls, and stay connected while your phone stays tucked away into your pocket. An especially useful features is Garmin Pay which allows you to pay with a credit card using tap-to-pay right on the watch.

The area that the Gamin Venu 3S knocks other smartwatches like the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch out of the park is its battery life. With these other smartwatches, you can expect it to last you a few days at best with regular use. The Garmin on the other hand can take you to up to two weeks before you need to plug it back it.

That longer battery life also makes it easier to take better advantage of the sleep features present on the Gamin Venu 3S. You can wear your watch overnight to gain insights into your sleep health via the Sleep Coach, measuring metrics like the length of the REM cycle and the value of your HRV during the night.
