Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the positive battery life, accurate heart rate tracking, and comfortable fit of the Vivosmart 3. Many appreciate its sleep and step tracking capabilities, along with its waterproof design. However, some users found the display difficult to read in bright sunlight or experienced issues with band durability and syncing. A few also noted the lack of built-in GPS as a drawback.

    Overall a good tracker. Not great for swimming

    I wanted a tracker for all sports as I walk, swim, and walk in water. It seems to be fairly consistent day-to-day for my exercise regimen, however, I was told by the salesperson that I could track my swimming and water exercise and this is not the case. I have to look at my calories and then check them at the end of my exercise regimen in order to find out how many calories I burn. Not a way to track on the app.

    There is a way to go with wrist fitness trackers. GPS is so-so, HR monitor needs some work for accuracy and the overall feel of the product was poor. I like, and this is my opinion, a device with a good feel to it. This is my test for pens, watches and many other devices. If it doesn't feel good in the hand or on the wrist I most likely will pass on it!

    I looked at this and the Fitbit, but I was sold when I saw that the Garmin is both cheaper and water resistant! I’ve been very happy with the product. The battery life is longer than product info states! All in all, a great purchase!

    Bought this over the Fitbit because it was on sale and waterproof. She is very happy with the device but after installing the app her iPhone behaved strangely with lockups and other crashes. Uninstalled the app and it worked fine again. Haven’t tried to troubleshoot it beyond that and it still tracks info without the app.

    Love this one. Used this one to shed the last 60 lbs but mostly for the heart rate and steps used. Not sure about the rest of it so much but it wears great and is all black with a long battery life

    I returned Fitbit Charge2 as I didn't not like it. It was heavy and didn't fit as a watch or a fitness tracker. However I was surprised to see this one made of rubber all along but looked pretty neat. Loved the stress tracker, guided breathing exercise, and the sleep tracker. Easy on the hand and no worries if you scratch it a bit.

    I find my Garmin model more accurate than my Fitbit. The only suggestion that I have is to sell replacement charger cords separately. I had to purchase the entire Vivosmart3 due to the fact that my puppy got into my cords and picked that one to chew up. $130 is expensive for just a power cord.

    We as a family each have a Garmin Vivosmart. It's fun to challenge each other daily for our steps. I also like the fact it tracks sleep, heart rate, and when I'm on the elliptical at the gym.

    I bought vivosmart because it's thin and light and disguises itself as a band. Although the step counter on it never matched the reading on my cell. It being waterproof with a week worth of battery life did come in handy. The VO2 feature is also useful in monitoring my fitness level.

    Works well and nags you if you are watching sports with a “move!” Message. I cannot decide if this is good or bad. Has not broke like all my fit bits did (they were POS’s).

    We love these activity trackers. We wear them 24/7, and they track our sleep patterns, steps taken, and calories burned. They are a great motivator to get up and exercise more.

    This was a gift for my father.(81) Great look and fit. Needed something easy for him to use to keep track of steps and heart rate. The Garmin is perfect for his needs.

    The Garmin Vivosmart 3 is a relatively new product. I am not overly impressed. As a former Fitbit user, I find the Garmin not to be overly user friendly. It has a swipe screen, but if you are not extremely careful, it swipes in a direction you didn't mean to go. I bought it because I wanted a good heart rate monitor on my wrist, and it does seem to be good for that. However, you can have your heart rate, or you can have the number of steps for the day, on the main screen; but not both. Disappointed in that. I also had to order a replacement charger the day I bought it, because the one that came with it broke on use. Also, the plastic wristband tore the first week I was wearing it.

    My wife loves it. She doesn’t like the app but likes the steps and the watch and how small it is. Plus it is waterproof, while most fitbits aren’t.

    My partner wears her tracker all the time... It does not have a color screen like the Garmin Vivosport + Hr that I wear but for the price: she loves her lil tracker. It has lot of different exercise options to choose from...
