    This watch is so much better than my original Garmin Vivoactive. Nice clear display and easy to use. I only wish that the heart rate function was not disabled while swimming.

    I would give it 5 stars. The only issue is that the screen is not as bright as other smart watches.

    I had to buy one when my Fitbit failed. I love it! It still has all the same functions but has more durability and sustainability especially for obstacle course racing.

    Vivoactive 3 is a great tracker. Low res screen for upto 7 days of battery life. You can save workouts. With GPS battery lasts for 7 hours, which could be improved.

    Wife had garmin fenix 2 but said it was too large and hurt her wrist. She picked out this one and absolutely loves it. All the features she realistically uses, without the bulk.

    Garmin watches aren't functional or easy to use in ways of the smartwatch capabilities. Great for activity, but not great for texts, calls, etc.. Not an Apple fanboy, but I wouldn't recommend this over an Apple Watch. That changes, if the buyer has an android though. Garmin's the way to go for Android users.
