Questions about Garmin Venu 3S

The Garmin Venu 3S (41 mm, WLAN only) supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.

The time is not always displayed in full brightness, but there are several options to illuminate the display and see the time in the dark. - Always On: You can activate the "Always On" option to keep the watch face data visible, aunque the brightness and background are dimmed down.

Yes, the Garmin Venu 3S can be connected to the Garmin HRM Pro. Garmin smartwatches support connection to external heart rate sensors via ANT+ or Bluetooth technology, which makes it possible to record heart rate data during activities.
