Garmin vivoactive 3

This is a great fitness watch with basic smartphone notifications. I've tried android wear but the battery life is two days at best right now and the amount of notifications is annoying. I found myself turning off most of them and just had text, what's app, reminders and alarms. And vivoactive offers these and any other app you want on your wrist. Unlike android wear you can't reply with a keyboard or voice dictation but again I found myself reaching for my phone more often than not to action things on android wear so this again isn't any different. I find (after over 4 weeks of use) that I average 4-5 days of battery life between charges. It take approx 1hr to fully charge too. The screen is great, especially in bright light or sunlight. The transflective display actually becomes clearer the brighter the light in the room or outside is. This is great as my previous wearable devices were lcd screens and out in bright sunlight there were hard to view. The watching is super comfortable to wear. It's so light you barely feel it on. I've not change he'd the staple even though it's easy to find any replacement you want due to the generic quick release system and size. The stock strap is again super comfortable and the silicon is nice for sports wear as it won't absorb the sweat like a leather alternative would. Sports tracking is great, I do a mix of strength and cardio exercises. No it's not as precise as a chest strap but it's surprisingly not that far off. Strength training work is where I find the gap between chest strap and wrist appears more. When out for a jog/run I find it much more accurate. I don't do HIIT training and it's sudden spikes where wrist tracking is often less precise. That's a problem with wrist based tracking in general due to the location being further to the extremities from my understanding. And the flexing with strength training work and different bloody circulation within the muscles all has an affect on it. But overall the results seemed to even out about the same as the polar strap I have by then end of the workouts. So 👍🏻 The Garmin companion app and website are great. There is an absolute shed load of data to digest after training but it's all great for understanding how your performance is changing. Some reviewers have complained saying there is too much data but more data allows for more insight. It's one of the reasons I swapped to Garmin. My old ms bans 2 used to give more data than the polar M600 but the band wasn't as accurate at tracking workouts or very comfortable. Garmins app also links brilliantly with MFP unlike anything else I've used before. It's so good I find I use it's calorie tracking interface more and just log my food in MFP. Previously I used to get all my exercise data into MFP to the work out the calories. Garmin connect makes its clearer and easier. I could bang on more but ultimately I'm super happy with my device and can't recommend it enough

had the Vivioactive 3 for nearly a month now and have to say this Garmin is truly brilliant and I've not been as active as I'd liked to have been or as I have been in the past, I wear it all the time and often forget I'm wearing it and comparing it to others in same Category its the lightest so no surprise there, I'm looking forward to doing gym work outs as the downloaded workouts look great and gives instructions on how to do them if needed I really cant fault it and although I don't need to wear a chest HR strap I have the option for more detailed workouts particularly indoors but more so when running using it pay is spot on ideal works really well having alarms for different things works great timers and stop watch perfect not used the golf but plan to as its a great idea especially when doing a round on own, love this idea when it needs charging its really quick too or jst an hour and its pretty much charged from near empty, also great for doing ultras (over 24hrs) although you cant wear it whilst charging, a remote quick charge will give you another days worth of run no problem and the connection for charging is strong and firm (not flimsy/loose) love the average resting heart rate display (after wearing for a few days ie 3 ) the display is brilliant in sunlight and I got this after my Fitbit charge3 hr display died, so I no longer wear 2 types of timers as I only wore my garmin 630 when running, now I only use my Garmin vivoactive 3 as it gives me steps as well and constant HR and I pretty much only used Fitbit for steps/time/HR hence I no longer need it changeable wristbands a bonus too nice and simple to do no drama receiving texts.calls,instant messages, diary notifications and any others I choose to allow such as security cameras notifications this is brilliant the satnav navigation is useful when you leave your car in a car park in another town/city changing the watch faces is awesome too altho I like the digi white numbers that turn blue as to reach steps activity target and also has hr and day date on i could go on and on about how good this Garmin is but my final bit is I opted not for the music version as I can use mobile if needed and control it whilst running exercising as I always have mobile with me any way as an emergency if ever needed i'm thankful I got this in an Amazon sale and brand new as I was looking for a Fitbit HR4 due to my Fitbit HR3 stopping working and spotted the Vivoactive3 which after reading the write ups I'm really pleased and it comes with a 2 year guarantee :-) so I'm well pleased I wouldn't bother with a screen protector I did at 1st and it came off after a short while and the type of glass this Garmin is fitted with (Gorrilla3 I think) its pretty sturdy protection if you haven't gathered already I REALLY love this Garmin my favorite in the past was the Garmin 310XT due to battery life but although the Vivoactive is less using GPS its easy to recharge and the stats its produces are really spot on amazing for me anyway hope this review helps someone

Es un excelente producto, muy bueno, de alta calidad, funcional, lo uso para natación principalmente y ha mejorado mucho la precisión en relación al Vivoactive; sin embargo, de acuerdo a los ejercicios que realices puede llegar a tener mediciones erróneas siempre y cuando no realices el mismo ejercicio al nadar, si es el mismo estilo la precisión es excelente y magnífica, puedes instalar diversos deportes y para el uso en exteriores es genial, la detección de ejercicio también es aceptable y puedes realizar varias cosas desde su interfaz.

I bought the Vivoactive 3 around three days ago. This is a great watch. I paid a little over 160 dollars / w tax included. Let me just say it is a tremendous buy & well worth the money. The battery life is great. I'm at 47% as of right now. And that's with the GPS running, plus Bluetooth on. This watch is a very accurate piece. Keeps time we'll. You can set this watch up for swimming, walking, running,golf,and areobics. It's excellent on keeping messages & viewing notifications. It uses the Garmin,and Garmin Connect apps. This watch pairs with your phone like a charm. The Vivoactive 3also has Garmin Pay. Which is handy for those times that you may have left your smartphone at the house or somewhere in your car. This has sleep tracking, calories in take. Measures your heartbeat & blood pressure. In the Garmin app you may set it up for physical fit challenges and programs. Right now it's giving me two messages. More tips on how to use the watch. And it just told me to get up & move. And this time piece is very trendy, good looking. Plus it's sturdy but real comfy to wear. This is a good buy.

It is a relatively old product but I have started using it only recently. So far, I'm happy with the watch. I was looking for something that can be used to track my activities (running, biking, etc). It works very well for this. Hiking, kayaking, etc -- tracks well too. (I've read some people were complaining about pulse monitor's reliability when biking, I did not have any issues so far.) I can't comment on vivoactive 3's performance in winter sports (ski, snowboard) as I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Hopefully, there won't be disappointments either. I like the fact that you can change the face of the sports monitoring apps so that it displays the information you are interested in in the way you like it. Various watch faces, etc -- also very nice. I like simple, clean interfaces but sometimes a busy one with lots of data is a good thing too. GPS works very well in my experience: starts quickly and tracks accurately. The altitude measurements are not as good but I do care too much about these. I was concerned about the wrist heartbeat monitor (the other watch I had was totally unreliable). I'm happy to report that this one is working fine. I've compared its measurements with my other monitors (chest strap, arm strap) -- there are occasionally differences in readings but very moderate, I definitely can live with that. The functions of a smartwatch are there too but I do not really use them so I won't comment. The app (smartphone or web browser) that support the watch is great! There are some things that I'd change (make the menus configurable so that I would not see the stuff I do not care about) but otherwise -- very informative. It would be nice to see more statistical analysis/trends but even without them -- lots of good stuff. The part that I do not find quite relaiable is sleep tracking. I do not think it is as accurate as the other features. Can't prove it but just does not seem to be quite right. Battery performance is good. Not as high as advertised but... we all know that marketing statements are likely to be exaggerating. To recap: very good wearable device for your workouts. Not the most recent one but if you buy it now, you'd get a lot of functionality at noticeably lowered price.

La montre : +Mesure cardio très précise (j'obtiens le même résultat à 2 pulsations près qu'avec un tensiomètre médical); +Lisibilité excellente en plein soleil; +GPS au top en précision = nb de pas, vitesse, distance et tracés au top; +Écran large sans être extravagant, juste la bonne taille; +Très légère, on oublie complètement qu'on est en train de la porter; +Protection d'écran Corning Gorilla Glass 3, solide et résistant aux rayures; +Super sur le tactile et le bluetooth; +Design sympa. - L'espèce de molette tactile sur le côté opposé au bouton pression est pour moi inutile et peu pratique; - Faible contraste lumineux, certes on voit extrêmement bien en plein soleil mais c'est un peu terne dans le noir; - Pas de nage en eau libre mais seulement en piscine; - On ne peut pas l'utiliser comme la Vivoactive 3 music (lecteur mp3) pour courir ou autre sans son portable (Rmq: pas mal de gens se plaignent de l'écran de la Vivoactive 3 music qui serait bien plus fragile que celui de la Vivoactive 3 .. donc mon choix s'est porté d'avantage sur ce modèle); +- Montre d'avantage destiné à être un tracker sportif connecté qu'une montre connectée comme l'Apple Watch &cie, oui on reçoit les notifications, appels et sms, mais rien à voir .. tout dépend de l'utilisation que l'on souhaite .. la montre est suffisamment connectée pour moi. L'appli : Que du positif pour l'application Garmin connect. L'interface est splendide, on peut planifier ses workouts de A à Z, parfait pour prévoir des petites sessions de fractionné par exemple, les rentrer directement dans la montre pour y avoir accès quand on le désir. On trouvera également un coach sportif pour atteindre un objectif que l'on souhaite se fixer (ex: courir le 10km à 5min/km) .. et évidemment un accès à toutes les données que la montre a synchronisé avec notre appareil .. le résultat visuel est réussi. La communauté sur le Connect IQ store fait de l'excellent boulot, tout le monde trouvera la watchface qui lui correspond, l'application ou le widget dont il a besoin. Au final vraiment satisfait de mon achat et je la recommande sans hésiter.
