Smartwatch Garmin Vivoactive 3 1,2" GPS Waterproof 5 ATM Glonass Black Stainless Steel

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.

Bottom Line Up Front: I love this watch. Pros: - color LCD screen - lots of ability to personalize - app gives you lots of data - extended warranty - Apps are variable and easily changed - you can edit your watch faces - lots of GPS options - lots of sports options - the price is right Cons - no ECG (this is on the new version) - no on board music capability (also on the new version) I'm not a super gym rat. My job requires that I maintain reasonable physical fitness, but nothing extreme. So I don't care if the watch can count pullups or situps. I do care that it can track bike, run and swim activities accurately (pool, not open ocean) and work as a reasonable activity and sleep tracker. This watch meets my needs and more. There are far more activities than I need, but that's kinda cool. I will give a better review once I have used it for a while.

This watch works very well for its intended purpose. Its nota multi thousand dollar piece of medical monitoring equipment. The heart rate function is not 100 percent accurate, I believe it depends on many variables, how tight or loose the strap is, the angle of your wrist etc. but it gives you a ball park idea and that's as good as it gets. There is an optional chest strap with more accuracy available. the Gps is very accurate and locks in quickly to the satellites. The user interface works good after you learn how to use it, there are lots of menus and it takes a bit to figure out how its all laid out. There is a lock feature that you must use when swimming or showering or the water messes with all your settings, the lock feature could be easier to activate....possibly by providing one more physical button just for locking and unlocking. there are plenty of activity apps provided and you can make a custom one in Garmin Connect if you desire. there are a lot of features that may be useful to some but not others, these can be disabled if not wanted. the watch connects easily with my Android phone and the music controls are very handy. The find your phone feature works great when the grand kids toss the phone under the couch or it slides between the cushions on the couch...love it! Garmin Connect is great lots of graphs and useful information is logged on your activities, and the GPS provides an actual Google map of your run, walk, cycle route or Kayak path. The sleep function has its limitations but provides a general idea of what goes on at night. All in all a very high tech watch that works pretty darn good and provides a good deal of information and fitness motivation.....good job Garmin!

Battery life really depends on the face you want on your watch. If you go with a standard, it’ll last 24/7 for about 5 days for me based on moderately active: swim, walks, and mountain biking. If you elect the face that has widgets such as BPM, a second hand, date, battery, etc. (there’s apps for that on connect IQ) it will reduce your battery life to about 2-3 days 24/7. I wear this while I sleep so keep in mind this is for 72 hours. The GPS is spot on in my opinion and research. I google map, Strava, and my partner has a fit bit, and across the board her fitbit is off. Strava is also a bit off but very close (0.05-0.01 miles) and google and garmin are practically exact. I can’t say the BPM is accurate. It feels off to me, as sometimes i’m 120BPM resting and 2 minutes later i’m at 40BPM. This could be multiple things: watch being loose, widget app being off, etc. I truly think it’s user error for me as I don’t wear the watch tight as I break out in eczema with the silicone wrist band. My Blood pressure is 115/73, im 195lbs, 28 years old, male, and in relatively good shape (10 minute mile jogs). I have no underlying issues and the doc says i’m physically fit. So take my review with this information in mind. This information is extremely relevant to this product. You don’t blame a doctors heart monitor when you visit and this is the same tech, so keep that in mind. i’ve wore this in the ocean while snorkeling with no issues. It works fine in the shower but tends to randomly go through setting depending on how the water hits the face. It works great for weight lifting HOWEVER, I have to consistently manually enter weight and reps as the tech just isn’t there yet. Id say it’s right about 50% of the time. I edit all the info on my phone app. I also use those with an app called Lose It! which is designed to help one lose weight, get the right amount of macronutrients, etc. I’ve lost 25lbs in 2 months through the combination of these two products. The phone I use is an Iphone X (smaller one) so this review might not help the Android user. The product for 150$ is fantastic. Id highly recommend this to anyone willing to be more health conscientious.

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.

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.

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

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.
