Frequently asked questions
Does Garmin Venu 3 nap detection data appear in Health Connect?+
Nap sessions detected by Venu 3 are written to Health Connect as sleep sessions. FitMesh shows them in the sleep timeline. The nap-specific classification (versus overnight sleep) follows the Health Connect sleep session standard.
Is Garmin Venu 3 suitable for Health Connect sleep tracking compared to a smart ring?+
Venu 3 writes full sleep stages (light, deep, REM) and nightly HRV to Health Connect, which is comparable to what Oura Ring and Samsung Galaxy Ring write. The main difference is sensor placement: wrist-based optical sensors are less accurate for HRV than finger-based sensors in rings.
Does Venu 3 wheelchair mode affect Health Connect data?+
In wheelchair mode, Venu 3 counts pushes instead of steps. These are still written to the Steps data type in Health Connect. FitMesh reads the value as reported, so the figure represents push counts rather than footsteps in wheelchair mode.
