Vivoactive 3

I got my watch a month ago. I got the watch to help me train for a half and full marathon. I love the features of the watch

Hate that heart destruction right

I wear a chest heart rate monitor when I do treadmill. Chest monitor says 137 but watch says 88. Can't track my fitness correctly

Great features

This is my second Garmin. They have both worked great. I use it for running, walking, golf and swimming. The sleep and health features are great.

Love it

It's simple and easy. I walk around my work a lot, so I wanted something to track my steps with. This is accurate.

Accuracy

I've had my Garmin for a month and I love the accuracy and detail it gives. This is a step up from the Fitbit.

Good features compared to a golf watch

I am on my third watch after the other two were unable to turn on. Might not purchase a garmin again.

This is a far cheaper smart watch than an Apple Watch. I love this Garmin. Would highly recommend to those looking to track their biometrics.

First garmin- returned for venu3

I can’t give a glowing review but it’s partially my own issue. This was my first garmin (switching from other smart watch platform). After having this a day or 2 I was trying to use the “hike” mode as that is one of the primary reasons I bought the watch. I thought all garmins had hike functionality. I had to return this and buy a venu 3 in its place.

Not sure

It doesn’t seem as though my watch is calculating correctly. In one instance my watch said my “body battery” was 90%, just two hours later on my day off, it says -1%. Also even though I turned off multiple notifications from my phone, I am still getting notifications on my watch. Great features just not sure they are working correctly.

Great features

I have had vivoactive 2-5. I love the 5. The features are great! I really like the sleeping coach. The only thing I’d like to see on this is I would live to be able to answer texts from the watch. I have an Apple phone so it is not compatible with text answering as I believe the android is. I do wish the phone and Bluetooth of the watch would reach a bit further. All in all I love this watch!
