    Great cheap buy. Works great for what my mom needs. Only issue is my mom had to update her phone to enjoy the features on the phone. Luckily it was time to upgrade her phone. But will definitely buy again for sure.

    Love this watch. It works great. Is very accurate when running and cycling so far!!! Battery is a little less than predicted but I have every message relayed to the watch, I workout with it, I sleep with it. I rarely take it off.

    When i saw the price at just a $100 i just had to have it, the watch is just simply amazing for its price. It takes a while to get used to the UI and i wish the strap was a bit more premium. But its really good otherwise

    The first one lasted for 3 years, it still works but it doesn't last long, the battery dies quickly, the problem is that the battery cannot be changed. In keeping with Garmin's sports tech legacy, the Garmin Vivoactive 3 has a heart rate sensor, GPS tracking and a selection of built-in apps dedicated to keeping tabs on a range of sports activities, from running and indoor cycling to skiing and snowboarding. Although the Vivoactive 3's focus may be on fitness, this versatile wearable also has plenty of other features to shout about, including smart notifications, an on-board payment system called Garmin Pay as well as both sleep and real-time stress tracking. And its design reflects its sporty yet smart credentials, as it looks more like a watch than a bulky fitness tracker.

    Bought this on a whim to replace my aging Fitbit Charge. I bought this due to the various activities that the tracker can track. It's a great multi-feature tracker. There is always room for improvement, but at this pricepoint, it's great without getting a smart watch.

    My trainer suggested this watch as I was looking for a basic fitness tracker that looked good and was easy to manage. I’m fully satisfied, many more complicated watch’s but this one has fully satisfied my needs.

    I love this watch so much better than a fit bit.. The battery lasts for days every thing is accurate on it.. The only thing I am having trouble with is syncing the correct time. My watch is off by 10 min. can you help me sync my watch? Thanks Jane Potter

    Great all around watch for multi-fitness (not multi-sport). Much like a daily driver, this watch is the Swiss Army knife of fitness trackers/watches. It has a great 90% of the features of a pro-level multi-sport watch. It has great battery life and smart watch features.

    Aside from the great reputation Garmin has, I purchased this due to the long battery life. Most smartwatches have terrible battery life, but this is easily a week long, depending on use. Simple to use and very functional.

    I recommend this smart watch to everyone. It is lightweight and tracks sleep, steps, stress, heartbeats, and reps for a myriad of exercise activities! It also can provide basic yardages on almost any golf course for free!

    I bought a Garmin, due to a friends recommendation and I can say I'm glad I went garmin over Samsung. The battery is much better than my last Samsung watch and the fitness app selection is on another level. I highly recommend a Garmin smart watch.

    I purchased this after using a Fitbit versa for a year..The Vivoactive 3 was aquired as a replacement after the Versa failed. I have to date, been very impressed by the Vivoactive 3. It does everything better than the Versa.

    I compared the Garmins and Apple Watch extensively before deciding to purchase the Vivoactive 3. Battery life is better than expected and I use it 3-4 times per week for running and cycling. Great watch and I’m now hooked on Garmin.

    I selected the Garmin VivoActive 3 because I wanted a fitness tracker with GPS capabilities that would connect to my phone. Love the tracking, but it seems to drop connection with my phone often, even when both are on my person.

    This was a replacement for my Vivoactive HR when the screen cracked. It's a great upgrade, brighter screen, easier to read, faster response, and more functions. I have used various Garmin devices since the original Forerunner and this is my favorite so far.

    Decided on this one due to the water proof rating and the fact I wanted to use it for swimming also. Very pleased with my purchase. I decided on this over the Garmin forerunner 235 and happy I did.
