Nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good upgrade from my Vivo HR. Just wished it had the weight-lifting widget. Still a nice upgrade.

Great watch/tracker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great watch and activity tracker. However, the battery does not last as long as advertised. I generally charge it every 2 to 3 days.

Easy
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s sensitive in water and changes settings in its own. Other wise it’s been a good watch.

Not for the serious athlete
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a die hard Garmin fan, but the Vivoactive misses the mark for athlete's on so many levels. If your like me and I run 6 days a week and am training for 4 marathons this year then this watch is not for You! First issue was in GPS mode I started off my 15 mile run at a 96% charge, during my run it kept constantly flipping between screens and at one point I thought I lost my run information. I ended my run with a 34% charge, I am not confident that this watch would last a marathon. Second issue is past Garmin's learned my stride with relative ease and even on a treadmill after running 9 miles it would only be off at most by .10 mile. The Vivoactive after running both outdoors and indoors it's off by 1.9 miles on a treadmill and that was a 4 mile run, it has no capability of learning your stride. If you want to wear this work with a suit it looks great and great for counting steps, but if your a more advance athlete spend a little more money and get the 735xt or do what I did and return this and get the Fenix 5, well worth the money for serious athlete's!

Posted .Hello MarathonFrankie, Thanks for taking time to review the vivoactive 3. We are glad to see that you got into a device that better suits your training needs, but we did want to take an opportunity to address a couple of the concerns that you had. We would recommend using Garmin Express (www.garmin.com/express) to ensure that that the software is up to date. There have been some updates that were designed to improve the battery life on the device. There was also an update that offered a new setting that would allow you to calibrate the vivoactive 3 to your treadmill. After completing a run on a treadmill that is over a mile, the vivoactive 3 has an option in the menu (after stopping the activity) that will allow you to calibrate the distance to your treadmill. This will update the distance for that run, and help to improve the accuracy on future runs. Thanks again for the review.

Great resolution short battery life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is great if you for single day use. I came from Garmin products that have 3-5 days of use. Having to charge every day can be a challenge.

Love it!

MR
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The watch is very good looking but it didn't hold up. Alot of the apps on the watch stopped working. Problems with charge when plugged in and then charge would show up later on watch....and wouldn't sync steps with watch. Apps also wouldn't add steps for week etc...

Decent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this watch for a little bit but I had seen the Apple Watch was just a bit more and it would work better with my IPhone. The watch is very visual appealing.

Not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning this watch. I was so excited to get it because I’ve had other Garmin activity trackers in the past. This didn’t live up to my expectations. Half the time I couldn’t get it to connect with my phone. Other times it didn’t track my steps. It also didn’t track stairs. I’m very disappointed.
