Customer Ratings & Reviews

This watch has motivated me to be more conscious of my daily activities and to get into better shape. With the various programs and tracking abilities the watch is great in letting you know your activity progress each day. At a fraction of the cost of the Apple Watch and every bit as functional it is a great investment in your personal health.

Great product for training for a marathon with all of the custom activity data features, but not as bulky or out-of-date as the 235. Battery life is incredible. The only problem is the slow response time for the backlight when looking at the watch and the spotty connectivity with my phone to display notifications.

The watch was easy to set up and has all the features I wanted

I enjoyed the Vivoactive HR for about 3 years until it died. The Vivoactive 3 is a good follow up with some additional features. My only complaint is that the battery on the 3 dies faster than the HR when I am cycling or playing golf. That said, it is excellent

The Vivoactive 3 is a versatile tool with the GPS that allows for me to track my running, biking and indoor workouts without having to bring my phone. The sleep tracker also tells me how well I'm sleeping and the integration with MyFitnessPal for my diet gives me the info I need to meet my fitness goals.

Great product! Love Garmin! Great, accurate monitoring, great app! Wish they would fix their constant band loop issues. They keep breaking with previous different models, also with this one. Luckily with this one you can get cheap replacement loops at Amazon. Great price, excellent product!!

I purchased this for my walking/running and bike riding. The GPS of this watch is better than the apple series 3 watch. The watch works very well with my iPhone, communicating with notifications, messages and calls. Also available from the Garmin website are additional watch faces and a large selection of apps. This fits my life style perfectly.

I got this watch as a gift for my significant other to track his steps and also his workouts when he goes mountain biking and this checks all the boxes. It has a great battery life and is very durable for someone who works with big heavy equipment all day.

love my watch. great for when you are working and you can see who is calling without stopping to pick up your phone. sending preprogramed texts is quick and easy. great to keep yourself moving when you look down and see that you haven't gone the amount of steps you want to go.

i had the vivoactive 2 watch and loved all of the features but the look was not all that stylish. The Vivoactive 3 takes all of those features and adds a stylish look. The GPS feature seems to work better on the Vivoactive 3, the watchband is much better and navigation is very easy. My one complaint with the watch is the life of the battery.

My best Garmin ever! Great look, lite and lots of features!

I wrote a longer review on the site I blog for http://runningwithmiles.boardingarea.com/review-garmin-vivoactive-3/ Overall, a great watch

This watch is a little slow and you can't change the text responses. However, considering the low price and the waterproofing, I would recommend it. The battery life is also pretty good when used as a smartwatch with GPS off, about a week or so.

With this watch I don't miss a notification nor calls. It took me a while to understand how it works but when you get it, it's super easy. The app will lead you thru your daily stats. I love how sturdy and well made this feels. The GPS is incredibly precise and the BPM's too! Also it looks sophisticated, I can use it casual and formal.

Sturdy product, but the interface between the watch and the app leaves something to be desired. Uploading watch faces can be a pain in the butt, but the watch functions properly and tracks my stats very well.

Replaced my series 1 Apple Watch with this. I like it much better. Screen could be a bit brighter but I like the fact you can see the screen in direct sunlight. Garmin make a great product and Best Buy had it on sale at a great price. The Garmin Connect app is fantastic.

I love this watch. It tracks steps, sleep, bike riding, heart rate... syncs with almost every app out there (FitBit being an exception... go figure) and also has customization features that have far exceeded the capabilities of either my Samsung Gear or my previous FitBits. If you're looking for an activity monitor, this is the one to get.

Awesome smartwatch/fitness tracker. It's more a fitness tracker but does the job extremely well. Battery lasts a long time and the most important is that you can keep wearing it for days which will let you track your sleep as well. Very comfortable and well made.

Love the watch and all the features. Battery life is very good if you don't use the GPS. I can get about 6 1/2 to 7 days out of the battery if I go all the way to zero. With the GPS on you can get about half a day. I added a tempered glass screen protector and the watch has been very durable through CrossFit, Powerlifting, and Running.

Had my Garmin watch for almost a year now. Love the way it works with my everyday and fitness activities! Easy to use and has everything you need for tracking your workouts and movement, and works seamlessly with my smartphone and the Garmin Connect app. Can't go wrong!
