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

Easy to use and full of features

I bought this watch as I wanted to be able to see the face and stats during activity. It is perfect. I love the ease of finding references for use.

We appreciate the review! At this time, none of our watches can record blood pressure. If that's something you're interested in, I suggest checking out the Garmin Index BPM.

The perfect watch for me

I got this watch a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed the features on it, there are a lot that I haven't used yet that I'm looking forward to using. The only complaint I have is that the second week I had it it randomly turned off and I couldn't get it back on for awhile. I looked online and a lot of people were stating they had this same issue with this model even though it was new for them. I haven't had it happen again so far and I hoping it doesn't happen again but it's definitely a bug. I love it otherwise, it's a great size for my wrist and has all the features of a smartwatch you could want but has a nice simple look so it's not bulky and I feel like it looks good to wear any time/occasion.

So much better than the 4!

My girlfriend got me the vivo active 4 when it came out. I always loved it. The battery started not lasting as long and my girlfriend got me the vivo active 5. It is so much more intuitive and much more responsive. The sleep tracking is definitely improved. The new LED screen is much better than the LCD of the 4. The battery life is great too. It's a wonderful upgrade and I highly recommend it.

Perfect for runners

My Apple Watch broke and I was ready to try something new. I looked into Garmin and other running watches but Garmin stood out the most. At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of different watch models and all the features in them. I was able to decide on the vivoactive 5 when it came down to price, quality, and features. The watch itself is very appealing and feminine, which I love!

Almost perfect

I bought my Garmin when Fitbit discontinued their web interface. I have RA which makes it difficult for me to access features on my phone. I also have issues with my eyesight, so accessing my data on a computer is helpful. I find the features extremely helpful in monitoring my health. I find the web access easy to read and use. The watch face is a little large, but other than that, I couldn't be happier.

Happy so far!

I really like this watch. It looks good on my wrist, easy to read in the sun, and does all the basics well. Two small quibbles: I was able to download music and listen but cannot track a run and listen at the same time. I had hoped to be able to leave my phone behind but can’t yet. Second I got a small scratch on the bezel and crystal via a relatively knock. I wish the materials were a little more scratch resistant.

Apple Watch versus Garmin

I bought this watch as a replacement of my old Apple Watch and I definitely like it a lot more because it holds the charge for at least three days as opposed to running out of a charge in less than 12 hours Also, the watch does not offer a lot of features that are never used by me in the Apple Watch

Amazing Watch

I absolutely love this watch! I started looking at Garmin after my apple watch died after 4 years. I was hesitant to make the switch but I'm so glad I did! This watch is extremely lightweight, user friendly and I love the round face vs square. My absolutely FAVORITE thing about this watch is the battery life. I've had it for 1 month and have only charged it 2x. I use it to track walking workouts mostly and recently just started doing the 5K training program.
