Specifications

Price (US)$449.99 US MSRP $449.99. Corroborated verbatim by the heartratemonitorsusa MSRP table listing $449.99 for every 41mm Venu 3S variant (MPN 010-02785-00 through 010-02785-04). Price is identical across both sizes; this is the Venu 3S (41mm) launch MSRP. (Note: the Garmin newsroom press release quote of "$449.99" cited originally could not be re-verified here as it is not the source or corroboration URL; the retailer table alone corroborates the figure.)

Source: www8.garmin.com (verified 2026-07-09) · corroborated by heartratemonitorsusa.com. Adversarially re-verified against two re-fetched pages: the official Garmin Venu 3 series Owner's Manual "Specifications" page (source, manufacturer) and the heartratemonitorsusa retailer product page (corroboration). CONFIRMED verbatim: battery_hr=240 (manual: "Up to 10 days in smartwatch mode for Venu 3S"; retailer: "Up to 10 days (41mm)"; 10 days x 24 = 240 per this index's days-x-24 convention, unit conversion only); water_resistance_m=50 (manual: "Water rating: Swim, 5 ATM" with footnote "The device withstands pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 m"; retailer: "5 ATM (50m)"); case_size_mm=41 (retailer: "41mm (Venu 3S)", "41 x 41 x 12.2 mm"); display_type=AMOLED (retailer: "AMOLED touchscreen"); gps=true (retailer: "All-Systems GNSS - GPS, GLONASS, Galileo"); lte_option=false (retailer connectivity list "Bluetooth, ANT+, Wi-Fi, NFC" with calls working only "when paired with a compatible smartphone" -> no cellular radio); priceUsd=449.99 (retailer MSRP table: $449.99 for every 41mm 010-02785-xx SKU). MODEL VERIFIED exactly as the 41mm Venu 3S (not the 45mm Venu 3): both pages distinguish the two sizes and all values were taken from the 3S/41mm rows (10-day battery, 1.2" display, 41mm case). NULLED on re-verification: releaseDate and specs.release (was "2023-08") -- neither re-fetched page states a release month; the manual carries only "© 2023 Garmin Ltd." (year, not month) plus a "December 2025" manual-revision date, and the retailer page gives no release date at all. The "30 August 2023 / Available now" basis existed only on the Garmin press release, which is not the source or corroboration URL and therefore cannot be re-verified, so the month is not verbatim-supported and was nulled per NULL-BEATS-A-GUESS. REMAINED NULL: os (no fetched page names an operating system for the 3S); weight_g (only fetched weight is the retailer's band-inclusive estimate "~35 g (41mm) with silicone band", not a precise device figure); ecg (retailer editorial states the Venu 3 has ECG-capable hardware but no active ECG app, and no manufacturer page confirms an ECG sensor for the 3S). 6 of 10 spec keys survive (>= half) and price is corroborated verbatim, so publish=true.
