Garmin watches are top quality, and well worth the buy. I myself own a Garmin Fénix 5x, and love it. I’ve never owned a more technologically advanced, durable, long lasting watch. This Vivoactive 3 is a bit different from mine, but it still has a multitude of amazing features, that might even beat mine!
The watch is beautifully crafted, and can be worn on all occasions. Whether it be at the gym, at the beach, or even at an extravagant event. It’s design is meant to be casual, but with that little extra flare that makes people say “wow, nice watch!”.
Like I said before it has a multitude of features, that are extremely convenient, and you will end up appreciating more than you know later on. If you’re an active person, being able to track your runs, trace routes, see how many strokes it takes on a paddle board to get you 100 meters, and more, makes working out even better than before. It helps you retain your progress, and strive to to better. It promotes over all better body health. It tracks your steps, heartbeat, and more, which helps you keep note on your activity, and helps remind you to go and get out there if you’re not meeting your goals.
Also, besides all of the neat sports features, it’s extremely tech! I used to laugh at people with Apple watches because they constantly checked their wrists for texts, but now that I own a smart watch, I completely understand! (Btw I’m not comparing these to apple watches, because Garmin blows them out of the water, but well get to that in the next paragraph.) it’s extremely continent to be able to have your phone somewhere else, and be able to quickly check texts or answer calls. Not only that, but have you ever been in the middle of a good workout, and a song you don’t like comes on, and you have to get up to change the song on your phone? Well you can do that from your watch without moving. Like I said, you’ll appreciate this watch way more than you know.
Now, when it comes to competing brands, garmin in for the Win. If you have an IPhone, no need to fear, Garmin is 100% compatible. Not to hate on Apple watches, but don’t buy an apple watch just because you have an iPhone, and for a few reasons. First being that Apple doesn’t have the extensive list of features garmin does. Secondly, apple watches die after 3 days, and take almost a whole night to charge. I can wear my garmin for a week and some change, then charge it in an hour and a half. It’s insane. And finally, apple watches just don’t have that extra pop that Garmins do. The square body shape doesn’t compare to the look a garmin gives off. Garmin watches are almost like ford raptors. Yeah it’s a truck and you can work in it and get it dirty, but at the end of the day it’s a $100k truck that’s built for racing.
All in all, I think Garmin Watches are top notch, and there’s nothing else like them. It’s well worth the buy, and you won’t regret it.
4/6/18: I did not talk about battery life in my original review as I wanted to be sure before I comment. I get around 3-4 days of battery life depending upon my usage. Without GPS, it comfortably lasts at least 4 days, which in my opinion is great. After recent update, floors count accuracy seems to be better. It's not perfect by any means, but lot more acceptable now. It could be because of update or it probably gets better by learning behavior and location overtime. Nothing negative to report yet. It's all positive.
Garmin Vivoactive 3 is exactly what I am looking for in a smart watch/fitness watch, and more importantly it looks and feels stylish in its classic circular form and light weight design.
Before I talk about its smart and fitness features, I will briefly talk about its display. Display has good enough clarify for a watch. Its always on display is a huge positive compared to Fitbit and apple watch. Outdoor visibility of its display is great and definitely better than other OLED displays due to its specific display technology. On paper its display is inferior to Apple watch, Fitbit Ionic and other wear os watches (formerly Android Wear) in Pixel density and colors, but don't let it stop you from buying Vivoactive 3 as its diplay is perfectly fine and always on display more than makes up for its other shortcomings. I like it even better than other high resolution displays for its positive impact on battery life.
Let's get less important things out of the way first, and that is its smart features. It does what it supposed to do as a smart watch. It notifies me for the applications I have selected in Garmin connect app on my phone. I only keep text and phone call notifications on, and may be couple other important apps to avoid constant vibrations on my wrist. It does notifications very well. Just to clarify I have connected it to my Pixel 2 XL, and I have no connection issues. The only issue I have found is with phone call notifications, where notification persists even after I pickup or decline a call directly on my phone, but other than that it works perfectly fine.
Now I will get to more important part of the watch, and that is fitness. When it comes to fitness, I like everything about Vivoactive 3. The amount of detailed data you get on your workouts is well worth it. My most favorite part of all is being able to see what heart rate zone I am training in during my exercise. It does everything fitbit and other smart watches do and lot more. You get usual matrices like daily steps count, active and inactive calories, floors count, heart rate data and then some extras like weekly intensity minutes, VO2 Max, Fitness age, Stress level etc. You also get move reminders. I like the way I can look at it and tell how long I have been inactive. It reminds you when the red bar of inactivity reaches halfway and then again when it reaches all the way. If you want to varify its accuracy, there are plenty of you tube videos, and based on all reputable sources data you get is fairly accurate.
Three things I want to mention on accuracy though.
- Heart rate: I like the fact that it can connect to external ANT+ chest strap for accurate heart rate monitoring during exercises in which wrist heart rate monitors are not that reliable. I connect it to Garmin Heart rate monitor during my strength training, and I am very happy with the results I get, which by the way only costs $20.
- Floor Count: As many reviewers have mentioned, floor count on vivoactive 3 is very disappointing. Sometimes, it counts fairly well and sometimes it doesn't register it at all. Something to keep in mind.
- GPS: GPS signal is very quick to acquire and accurate. The route it tracks even detects the slightest variations in route (running on right side of the street vs running on left side of the street)
It tracks outdoor run/walk and indoor treadmill run well with plenty of data to review. Rep counting on strength training is surprisingly accurate. It even identifies the type of exercise based on the arm movement. It even identified me doing push ups every time I tried, which is very surprising given the fact that there is very little wrist movement in it. Starting and stopping sets and advancing in a next set is done by double tapping the screen which is very convenient.
All the activities and workouts are saved in Garmin Connect app with plenty of data. It even tells your fitness age based on your VO2 Max.
I can't believe I waited this long to buy my first Garmin Watch, and I am positive that Vivoactive 3 won't be my last Garmin Watch either. I did not come across any of the bugs other users have encountered during my first week of usage. It's been few months since its release and it seems like Garmin has fixed most of its bugs.
SUMMARY:
- Very light weight design, which looks classy in its circular form (I specifically love my slate version)
- Fairly accurate heart rate monitor, and activity and workout tracking
- Ability to connect to external heart rate sensor is a huge plus in my opinion
- Somewhat hit or miss floor count
- Smart watch/smart notifications features are minimal but very useful and reliable
- Advanced dynamics on workout data are very informative
All in all, Vivoactive 3 is a solid smart watch for fitness enthusiastics and everyone who want to live and lead healthy life. I highly recommend it..

É bom sempre mante-lo atualizado para achar o Gps com facilidade.
É muito bonito para o dia a dia, roda as listas do dezzer e funciona para corrida com facilidade, natação a marcação não é tão boa e esteira marca com exatidão.
O touch-screen fica um pouco ruim com o suor para manusear os comandos e passar música. A bateria com a função música + GPS + Bluetooth e corrida vai embora bem rápido, o que deve é normal. Entrando dura uma semana se você não fizer nada desta lista.
corrida de meia hora com música durante o dia, ele aguenta dois a três dias facilmente.
O meu cabo que veio com ele deu defeito em alguns meses, o que é uma pena.
Importante, ele aguenta bem o impacto mas já aconselho comprar capa e película dependendo da sua atividade, encontrar qualquer acessório dele em lojas comuns é dificílimo. Já compra tudo pela Internet pra mante-lo seguro.
Compraria de novo e não saio mais da garmin, adeus corrida com celular, agora é só relógio e fone.
Only function that doesn't work I'd Garmin Pay as it's not avaialbe in Canada yet. Also not as many face watch selections as I thought. However it has a cool watch face feature where you can upload a background photo for you watch face (from your camera)! So cool.
It has 30 programmable text back responses when your phone isn't accessible. There's many settings to play with on watch itself including brightness which was one review I read. It goes brighter than you need but sucks battery more.
Battery needs changing every few days I find but charges extremely fast. Within 30-60 mins.
Heart rate seems to be super accurate as is GPS!
Can't wait to swim with this on the summer! Love it! Five Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Apareció un punto blanco de la nada y a los dos días otro más...se va fundiendo y eso que el uso que le dió la persona a la que lo regalé es poca y con mucho cuidado
Lo que no he logrado es entender cómo funcionan las modalidades para hacer ejercicio en mi caso particular que hago ejercicios funcionales en casa, sin embargo lo demás está súper sencillo de utilizar. Te vienen opciones de deportes y lo seleccionas antes de hacer deporte y te mide todo. La batería me dura como 3/4 días dependiendo que tanto lo use pero lo uso casi diario. Esta súper ligero. Desde la app puedes ponerle distintas carátulas
Excelente compra.
