Add The New York Post on Google From smart rings to armbands and even screenless monitors, the wearable market is flooded with all sorts of devices that track your health and wellness.
One popular wearable is Garmin, which just dropped its Garmin Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro. However, there’s another model from the brand that has racked up rave reviews for one of its “highly accurate features.”
According to fans of the Garmin Venu 3S, this fitness tracker is particularly accurate when it comes to calorie monitoring and metabolic data — which can make a huge difference for anyone actively on a fitness or health journey. The popular Garmin smartwatch typically retails for $450, but ahead of Labor Day the Venu 3S is on sale for just $299 on Amazon.
“The best smartwatch for fitness and diet enthusiasts, period,” one reviewer, who has also tried Apple Watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Fitbit, claimed. “It is extremely useful when counting calories where a slim margin is needed, such as aiming to lose 750 calories a day to lose 1.5 lbs/week. If it’s off by just 100 or 200, that’s already a half pound off, or 26 pounds a year.”
The impressed user noted that the Garmin’s step data matched their iPhone within 5%, its heart-rate monitor matched a blood-pressure cuff and its calorie counter tracked their weight loss “exactly.”
Numbers add up fast — and according to reviewers, the Venu 3S provides highly realistic data. Many others agreed that it’s “much more accurate than other fitness watches.” The watch relies on Garmin’s Elevate V5 sensor, which is in line with some higher-end Garmin models.
Beyond that, the Venu 3S offers up to 10 days of battery life for continuous tracking, so you can get a clearer picture of your health trends over time. And, it measures everything from sleep and stress to recovery, plus syncs with over 30 sports apps, offering workouts as well as Garmin Coach guidance.
Reviewers point out that the bright 1.4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display makes it easy to check your data. And, it connects to both iPhone and Android devices, so you can also stay on top of your schedule and keep in touch with friends and family.
For those who prioritize accurate health and fitness data, the 3S could be a smart investment with a range of useful features — and especially worth-it at this rare price point ahead of Labor Day.
