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.

    Got this for regular price then was on sale two days later. Best Buy was great and did a price match and returned the difference. The tracker was great. I bought it for my daughter and it has given her that extra boost of motivation to get moving. She plays soccer so it also helps her keep track of distance ran and heart rate during peak practices and games. I would recommend it. The app is also very easy on the eyes and simple to read the data.

    Reliable watch throughout the years. Easy to maneuver although the app has room for improvement. I recommended the brand to others and they found to be satisfied also.

    I bought this tracker to replace a vivosmart HR that after a few years was freezing up at times and strap holder had broke. I liked that this model had all the functionality of the HR but was smaller in size. I have small wrists and had the HR almost to the last whole in the band. The width of the tracker itself is also smaller. The extra features like weather forecast and ability to start music from it are nice bonus features. The only thing I don't really like is the screen being off until raise your arm. I often raise or turn my wrist to see the time and it doesn't come on. I have gotten better at how to turn, or just tap it twice. But that is a bit inconvenient if you look at your watch a lot.

    The band works well. tracks steps, heart rate and all that but sometimes it won’t uodate in the app on my phone so I can see my progress. Not bad for the price compared to an apple watch

    Pretty accurate when it comes to tracking steps. Heart rate monitor not that great. Don’t like having to charge it every other day. Old farming had a battery which lasted over 2 1/2 years.

    This is a very accurate tracker. I had a Fitbit and was relatively pleased with it but it fell apart quickly. I switched to Garmin and find it to be a much better tracker.

    I upgraded to the Garmin - vivosmart 3 Activity Tracker + Heart Rate from an earlier version and I am so happy I did. It does a wonderful job. I really like that I can keep track if my heart rate as well as steps, and it is about as accurate as the heart rate monitors on the machines at the gym. The step count works well and the app that it uses is fairly easy to use and works well

    I have had a couple of smart activity trackers but this one is the best one of all. Not bulky, lovely gesture controls, precise HR monitoring, thin but strong band and battery life is impressive.

    This item has good battery life. It tells me when I need to move if I’ve been sitting too long. It sinks with my phone so I see who is calling and am notified of messages.

    The band irritates my wrist and makes me red and raw. It's fairly simple to set up. The battery life is fair. Changing the settings can be a pain in the...

    I've worn the Vivosmart 3 over 2 weeks and have found it easy to use and and a good incentive to stay active. Now I can challenge myself to improve my health with real data. My wrist is very small and this band is very adjustable. Comfortable to wear and nice not having to worry about getting it wet. A great purchase and Best Buy had a super price!
