Nothing says “great outdoors” and “fitness” like a great smartwatch. Also known as wearables, these are primarily wrist-worn devices that contain a number of health and location-tracking sensors, along with numerous features that are unlocked by pairing your new watch (or fitness ring) with a compatible phone or tablet. We see a lot of smartwatch deals in our daily discount dives, but the following offer caught us by surprise. Right now, you’ll be able to order the 45mm-band version of the Garmin Venu 3 in Slate through Amazon for $400. At full price, this model sells for $450.

Why you should buy the Garmin Venu 3

There are no shortage of smartwatches to pick from, so what makes the Venu 3 so special? For starters, it has a beautiful 1.4-inch AMOLED watch face that achieves solid brightness levels, as well as great colors and contrast. And because Garmin opted to use Corning Gorilla Glass 3, you can guarantee your Venu 3 will be able to withstand the occasional drop or ding. The 45mm band size is also very comfortable and can easily be swapped out, though the Stainless Steel one that comes in the box is quite remarkable!

When using the Venu 3 in smartwatch mode, you’ll be able to get up to 14 days of battery life from the wearable. With a big focus of this model being athletics, you’ll be pleased to learn the Venu 3 is equipped with several health and wellness features. Tracking tech includes wrist-based heart rate, oxygen levels, stress tracking, and a handful of other essential criteria. You’ll even be able to track sleep and your energy level throughout the day!

The Venu 3 also has a number of sports apps built in that support over 30 different exercise styles, a Wheelchair Mode, and on-screen fitness coaching. We see Amazon deals all the time, but this is a smartwatch offer you don’t want to miss.

Save $150 when you order the 45mm Garmin Venu 3 on Amazon, and be sure to check out some of the other great fitness deals we found this week!

Apple’s smartwatches will look the same for at least another year, or two
Apple's Series 12 and Ultra 4 are reportedly skipping a redesign this year, leaving chip upgrades and health tracking to carry the entire generation.

For the last few years, every single Apple Watch has looked identical to the last. The Apple Watch Series 11 shared its dimensions and looks with the Watch 10, and the Watch 10 with the Watch 9. Turns out that streak might not break in 2026 either.

So what's actually changing this year?

Apple’s smart glasses are running late because they don’t want to stir a privacy storm
Apple is taking extra time to make sure its smart glasses do not inherit Meta’s creepy reputation

Apple could unveil its first smart glasses at WWDC in June 2027, followed by a consumer release toward the end of the year, according to Bloomberg. The device, internally codenamed N50, had reportedly been scheduled for an introduction in late 2026 and a launch in early 2027.

Part of the delay reportedly stems from Apple’s engineering and marketing teams spending more time refining the product and deciding how to address the privacy concerns that come with putting cameras on someone’s face. Privacy is said to be the top priority for the teams working on the glasses.
