Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Vivosmart 3's ease of use, long battery life, and accurate heart rate tracking. Many appreciate its waterproof design and sleep tracking capabilities, although some find the screen size to be small. A few users experienced issues with Bluetooth connectivity and the accompanying app. The band's durability was also a point of concern for some customers.

    This Garmin is comfortable on my arm I wear it all the time including in the shower until it tells me that it's battery is less than 10% and it's only takes about an hour hour and a half to full charge for six or seven days and I like that aspect of it period only problem I have is my eyesight is not good enough to read text messages so I can see who a message might be from.

    Bought for mother in law. - she’s not a techy at all. She’s figured it out quickly and is enjoying it. 5 days of battery life, and I believe it’s water proof! Happy with the purchase!

    I picked this out for my wife after seeing poor reviews from the competition FitBit. This band hits all of the marks when it comes to tracking, battery life, and ease of use.

    This monitor is conformable and provides the information I was looking for. The interface is good. Provides an accurate description of steps and flights of stairs climbed. The only issue I have is it seems to be using several different languages even though I have set it to English. Overall good device!

    The tracker itself is very good. Lots of relevant information, connects to your phone and certain fitness apps. I really enjoyed it, but the band cracked and made it unwearable after just a few months. It's impossible to swap out the band yourself.

    I would have rated this 5 stars but it seems to need to be charged every two days. Not what I had in mind. My last Garmin Vivofit had a battery that I only had to change out 2 times in 4 years. I like low maintaince. Other than that, I like the activity tracker.

    The Vivosmart 3 is a good activity tracker and it gives your heart rate without the need for a chest band . It can measure your stress rate which is good for people with heart conditions . My only complaint is that it misses about 1/3 of the stairs I climb .

    I recommend this band to almost everyone I talk to. I had previously owned a Jawbone band, but after the band broke numerous times about 5 times over the course of a year in a half I decided to go in a different direction. Garmin is a great brand and I owned the the first vivosmart band and after two years with little problems I decided to upgrade to the newest version. I haven't had any issues and hope that it lasts just as long if not longer than my old vivosmart. I love the fact that it is so slim and the new features are awesome.

    Purchased as Christmas gift for my Father. It has the data he (and I want him to track) and he doesn't mind wearing it. He is having trouble with turn the display on but we're still working on the settings and I hope it will become easier for him. Battery life of watch appears great - he mentioned his cell phone battery life is being impacted negatively by the watch (this is yet to be confirmed). Price was good - on sale $99.99 cannot beat that anywhere for this device or one with similar metrics!

    I'm not s "fitness freak" Just interested in increasing my activity level. This is a nice little tracker to just encourage more walking. It does a lot more, but I'm only using it to force more steps out of myself each day!

    Bought for my wife and she loves it. The only concern she has it that the band doesn't appear replaceable. I wanted to get one for myself but need something with a larger display. Overall a great vale - we purchased on sale price.
