A:AnswerThat could depend on how the device is being used. The band can be cleaned with a mild soap and water or an alcohol swab. Please be sure all soap is rinsed off and the band and wrist are clean and dry before putting back on. We do not recommend Lysol or Chlorox wipes on the device.

A:AnswerThe vivoactive 3 is able to pair and display incoming text messages from iOS phones such as the iPhone 7. There is not an option to respond to messages directly from the watch when paired with the iPhone. A charging cable is included in the box.

A:AnswerAlways on. No aspect or detail of the face ever disappears. The face doesn’t “light up” like an Apple or other similar smart watches. The screen is brilliant and best in the brightest light (direct sunlight). In a dark room or at night push the side button, touch the screen or shake the watch and a back light will temporarily illuminate the screen. The only way the screen can ever go blank is by turning the watch completely off. Eventually this technology should replace the lift or shake to illuminate tech. That’s why the battery lasts several days instead of several hours between charges.
A:AnswerThe face is extremely easy to see in the bright sunlight on the golf course and while you're running or just walking. In the darkness the face illuminates brightly for easy reading. This watch is really good I would highly recommend it you won't be disappointed.
