    I bought this watch/ activity tracker for my husband for Christmas. It has been the best addition to his fitness lifestyle. Very accurate and even helps with stress levels and records elevation.

    I did liked the previous version of this watch better. The battery doesn't last as long on the newer version. It still is a great watch for all the activities you can track.

    I was branching out fo Fitbit and found these to work well. So far it’s been great. It does not register steps as well as the Fit it but does a great job tracking runs and walks (the only two features I’ve used so far). Ot track heart rates, stress, and sleep. My biggest con is that it does not integrate well with Apple fitness. It sync data to Apple but does not receive data from Apple. I’m sure there is an app somewhere for that but I haven’t found it yet. I’m still using it and testing features. I’ll update in a couple of months than if there are changes

    I've been very happy with this watch. I wanted a basic watch, plus the ability to track my running. Didn't want to spend a fortune for my first smart watch. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    Admittedly, I got the Garmin Vivoactive 3 to be a smart watch first and a fitness tracker second. It looks the part really well; the round face and the screen look great in broad daylight, and the backlight comes on when I lift my arm like it’s supposed to in the evening. The “App Store” is also full of neat little widgets and apps that take advantage of the watch’s sensors. This should go without saying, but Garmin is a great company! My first experience with them was when I bought my first fitness tracker (at one point in my life I bought the fitness tracker to be a fitness tracker. Lol) and they helped me every issue I’ve had. I can’t recommend them enough.

    I like the watch. Great visibility, battery life, comfortable band and it looks great. The app for my phone isn't nearly as nice as the Samsung Health app.

    I previously had early generation Garmin and more recently a Sam-sung. Both had the kind of wrist bands that weren't comfortable. Loosening it resulted in the Samsung falling of my wrist & being lost. This one has a comfortable band. It does nearly everything the previous 2 did. Best feature when texts come in, there are short messages & can send back on it, kind of like when I get them on my car's touch screen. The only disappointment was it lack the find my phone feature. Other than that it's a very good product!

    Had a Garmin years ago and then bought Fitbit. I was well ready to go back to Garmin when the Fitbit died for like the second time. Garmin great so far.

    Pleasantly surprised with this purchase. I had the Vivofit 3, and the Vivofit before this one. Both use watch batteries, and worked very well for me. The Vivoactive 3 was a replacement as I lost the Vivofit 3 when it fell off my wrist (2nd market band didn't he well) and couldn't find it. As I've been using a step/sleep counter for 3+ years I needed something quick. This was in stock, soni thought I'd give it a try. It tracks waaaayyyy more than the Vivofits -- not to mention it can be set up to notify me when info o my phone gives reminders, etc.

    The size and overall easy setup is great. Dosen't show miles on watch, only on app. But very tough and can handle hits and bumps without damaging watch face.

    I bought this watch to help prepare for some long distance hiking and I find it to be a pretty good tool in gauging distance. It is also hand for planning out a route and distance you'd like to go.
