Garmin - Vivosmart 3 Activity Tracker + Heart Rate (Small/Medium) - Purple

I have tired many trackers from Fitbit and Garmin and this one is easily the most comfortable. I've actually had to check my wrist to make sure it was still there. It is lower profile and smaller than previous vivosmarts. The added stress tracker has actually been useful. The HR monitor tracks more frequently than previous models. I'm getting about 3-4 days out of the battery depending on how active i am. The only con I would give is the display is not as easy to see outside in sunlight as the previous models due to the rubber coating over the display but it helps prevent scratches so thats a big plus!

I use it daily Motivating & easy with the phone app Activity, calories, steps, stress, sleep & more tracked. Only flaw, the buckle can snag, there is a style without a buckle I wish I’d gotten not waterproof must remove when swimming I’d buy it again

The Garmin Vivosmart 3 tracker worked as advertised and enjoyed seeing the tracking information which appeared to be pretty accurate, but after wearing it for a while, it started to cause major arm pain and it made a discolored square shape on arm where the tracker is charged at. Literally had a problem lifting arm and holding onto things. Took it off and arm started to get better. I never dreamed it would do something like that, but searched online and several people talked about the same issue with their trackers not limited to Garmin. Cannot use and too late to return. I cannot recommend over concern to health. Picture below was taken a few days after stopped wearing the tracker it was even more visible when first took it off, but didn't think about taking a picture then.

I do not suffer with any skin allergies, but since i bought this watch i keep breaking out in the watch area and it looks almost likr a burn. I clean it every day and remove it when i shower. Also if i sweat a lot i remove it to clean my wrist and the watch. I've never had to do this with any other item ive ever bought. Also my Bluetooth will disconnect when i charge it and then it takes forever to repair. I did call customer service and they told me to clean the area of the watch etc but its still doing the same thing. Garmin was going to switch it out because of the allergic reaction but i don't think i want another one of these products.

This is the most comfortable tracker I have ever worn!!! Coming from a Fitbit Alta HR. The vivosmart has a smaller profile, it sits lower on the wrist. I wear an Apple Watch on my left wrist and the Garmin vivosmart 3 on my right wrist. Pros: *smaller profile, sits perfectly on wrist. *screen is hidden when not in use, taps and swipes are easy to do. *Garmin app more focused on activity *truely water resistant *sleep and wake times spot on Cons: *cannot connect to an external heart rate monitor. *sleep insights not as good as Fitbit. I will update this review after my first workout, which I will compare the heart rate of the Garmin vivosmart 3 with my external heart monitor.

I purchased my Vivosmart 3 to replace my Fitbit Charge HR because the Fitbit wasn't waterproof, and it was a real inconvenience. Based on reviews and functions, I decided to get the Vivosmart 3. The first one I got would not "find" my iPhone, even though they were sitting next to each other, and I knew my WiFi was on and working. I took it back to Best Buy a couple of days after I purchased it, and they replaced it for me without any problem. The new one works great! I'm still learning to use all the features, but I really like the Garmin Vivosmart 3. I'm glad I read all the reviews, because others mentioned their device couldn't "find" their phone or tablet. I find that the tracker doesn't record stairs if I walk up too slowly, which happens often when I'm carrying my grandbaby up the steps. I, of course, want to be safe when carrying precious cargo upstairs. My Fitbit also failed to count flights of stairs when I took them too cautiously, but hey, safety first, then statistics. I am happy with my Garmin Vivosmart 3!

I love this watch. It is simple and easy to use. The battery life on this watch was amazing lasting for 5 days. It allowed for txt messaging reading with a simple glance which was convenient. For the price it is it is a great starter watch. I moved on from this watch bc this watch allowed me to become more active. I wanted a watch that could track my tennis playing abilities, I only wish I could find a watch with a battery life as great as this one

Reliable watch throughout the years. Easy to maneuver although the app has room for improvement. I recommended the brand to others and they found to be satisfied also.
