    Unfortunately the step tracker stopped counting after three days of use. Returned this and purchased the Apple Watch 3 series which I like much better and is easier to use and navigate.

    After having several Fitbits, the most recent one developed a cracked face and I started looking for a replacement. I decided on the Garmin vivoactive 3 smartwatch because in addition to everything the newest Fitbit it had a golf function. After a month I am still learning about all of the possible apps and watch faces available, but so far it is great. when using the various sports apps you use more battery, but you get so much more information, it's great.

    By far the best sports watch Garmin hass made. Light, fast and very responsive. A must buy for a watch in the $300 range.

    I love how lightweight it is. It does not feel cheap and its easy to look at when you are running. I would highly recommend.

    I love the Garmin Vivoactive 3..the only knock on it is that is not as clear as the Apple Watch but the accuracy makes up for it. So glad I switched.

    Accurate measurements. Doesn’t have more features than necessary. Do wish that it measured steps as well as distances.

      The watch does count steps if you have the activity tracker turned on. Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many FAQ's and video's on the features of the device. You may also reach out to our product support team from this page if you still need assistance.

    It’s ultra convenient, looks sleek and professional for work. Seems to give accurate readings on blood pressure, distance run, etc. Being able to get phone notifications on my wrist is so hand! I have noticed that if I don’t remove the watch while I sleep, I have a tendency to develop a mild rash... I do tend to wear my watches pretty tight, so this may be the cause. Touch screen responsiveness can be a little finicky sometimes (especially in the water)— other than that, it’s been great! Highly recommended!

    This is a replacement for an older Garmin watch. The display and added features are well worth the upgrade.
