    The Vivoactive 3 has many useful functions. Expect to take some time to learn all of the processes. Some people like the learning process and some like "easier is better". If you are in the second group you may think twice about this watch.

    Robert Blum: I have been very unhappy with this item. My needs were rather simple. A watch that counted my steps and gave me notifications of texts from my phone. Everything else was unnecessary. So far, I have had to reset this watch more times than I can count and for whatever reason... It loses the watch face. It loses connections. It randomly will stop sending notifications. I'm frankly very unhappy with spending so much on a watch that doesn't do one simple task.
