TL;DR: the hybrid-style Garmin Venu 3S just scored a 36% discount, dropping it to its lowest price ever at Amazon.

About a year ago, I decided to try jogging again. I had hated it since childhood, but hitting the trail with earbuds, good shoes, and a fitness watch appealed to me. I didn't have a watch, and the best Garmin watches seemed too bulky. Then I found the Garmin Venu 3S.

This wearable packs the hardware of the excellent Venu 3 into a sleek, discreet design that could pass as a traditional Android smartwatch. I paid around $350 last year, but now Amazon is slashing a record-smashing 36% off, knocking the price to just $288.

The Venu 3S comes with heart rate monitoring, ECG, Pulse Ox, Body Battery, Sleep Score, GPS, 8GB of storage, and over 30 activity modes. Battery life lasts a solid week with GPS activated. Is it the best Garmin ever? No, that's probably the pricey Fenix 9. But for a casual athlete, it's perfect, and this discount should encourage you to take the leap.
