    Vivoactive 3 is a great looking watch and easy to use. The size makes it easy to read; great clarity. The only drawback is it requires a charge more often than I thought.

    Ended up returning it. Bought a galaxy watch 3 instead. Nice watch but seems the display isn't good

    My husband has had his vivoactive and been very content with it. We both moved over from FitBits that were failing to perform simple functions. Happy to have made the change.

    My husband bought this because he wanted a smartwatch, but he works in a professional position and needed something more dressy. This watch works perfectly. This is the second one he has bought.

    I like this watch. It has all basic features that you need. Lots of different face dials. Only problem is battery life.

    This was a gift to my father and he loves it. Replaces an older version that broke after 5 years. Would recommend to anyone who uses or likes Apple Watch or Fitbit products.

    Loved this watch... returned it only because the music version was released. Great capabilities, but wish there was a little more capacity to change the look and feel without having to plug it into a computer.

    I bought this when I starting having issue with my Fitbit. I couldn't be happier. It's well made and versatile. I plan to stick with this series the foreseeable future.

    I'm really enjoying this watch. It's very handy to be able to see your texts and emails on the watch. I really like being able to see my steps. Being able to change the watch faces is nice too.

    The watch has many good features, but the heart rate monitor is erratic. I would be riding the peloton and it would suddenly jump from 120 to 180. Other times, my heart would be pounding and the watch said that I had a 100 heart rate. I moved it around, switched arms, but same result. Because of this, I would say that it is a reliable tracker.

    Watch has good features, keeps track of reps and sets pretty accurately. Wish it had better texting options . Wish I waited a little longer and got the music version

    This watch works great and is easy to use.. The only downside I have noticed is that in the shower, the water drops change the screen because the touch screen is too sensitive.
