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.

    I like it because it has a hidden display, that way I can wear my other watches. I also have the Fenix 5X and the sync works every time. The only thing is that the first one I got stopped working withing a week but Best Buy exchanged it and this ones works great, no issues.

    I had the previous version of this watch but the screen cracked when it fell out of my vehicle. I like the lower profile of this watch compared to the earlier version. I do not think the display is as clear to read as the previous version and navigating the screens can be a bit frustrating. Overall I like the looks of it, I like the features it offers, and I would buy it again.

    I bought this to track my sleep. Holy wow does it do more and I love it. The app is amazing. It take sometime to get use to it but you can customize it and that is great too. I can actually wear this 24/7 and other trackers I haven't. This is a great tracker.

    I upgraded from a 2 version to a 3 and really wish I hadn't. This one has to be tapped to show the time which is frustrating. I feel like the battery doesn't last as long either. This version also has a harder time connecting with my phone. If I had never had the 2 I wouldn't know what I was missing.

    This is my 2nd garmin smartwatch. It's so easy to use, and the app is great. I spent a lot of time looking for an activity tracker that I could wear when I swim. Unfortunately my watch kept saving my workout, and pausing while I was in the pool. It was too sensitive to all the water movements. This is my only issue and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

    The stairs counter is useless. It may or may not read the flight of stairs. Even being cleaned and using canned air it is so erratic, too high on wrist, too low on wrist, too fast up the stairs?????We have tried it all (this is my husband's and I have the identical issues) if it is being planned to keep track of stairs and meeting a daily goal don't bother.

    I have been wearing this for years and i can vouch it as the best tracker. Its very light and doesnt irritate the skin. The best part is that, the bluetooth can be switched off which saves the battery.

    Screen is small but still easy to read. Easy to adjust size. My only complaint is I can't get it to connect to my phone, that may be more to do with user. This product is perfect for me or anyone else who is not good with all the technology associated with some other trackers, Garmin tracker is very easy to use and understand.

    I bought this for a family member after he suffered a health event. My hope was that it would show him that he was not “doing” as much as he thought he was (there were battles brewing in the house about getting up for a walk and doing home therapy). But I doubted that he would actually wear it (he doesn’t even wear a watch). I paired it with his phone (using easy to follow directions, although I did have to go through the proceed twice - I’m not tech savvy). Put it on his wrist. And he has continued to wear it and look up his activities. He now checks out of curiosity but it also has helped him to recognize his activity level and gives him a goal which does incentivize him to get up and go.

    Go buy a Fitbit, walk to the trash can and throw it away. Then go buy this garmin. I have owned multiple fitbits. They all break. Worn this for a year and it works perfectly. Love it! 10 stars!!!!!!

    Bought this to comply with new health insurance points program. Feel it is a much better value than the comparable FitBit(r). Issues are the instructions that come with it are awful had to download set from website. battery doesn't last 5 days most is about 3.5 days. Some issues connecting to phone.

    The Vivosmart 3 gives you a wealth of information about your health. I love the stress tracker and the reminder to move too. It's light weight, you barely know it's there. Highly recommended!
