Garmin Vivoactive 3 GPS Smartwatch with Built-In Sports Apps and Wrist Heart Rate - Black : desertcart.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Review: brilliant - had the Vivioactive 3 for nearly a month now and have to say this Garmin is truly brilliant and I've not been as active as I'd liked to have been or as I have been in the past, I wear it all the time and often forget I'm wearing it and comparing it to others in same Category its the lightest so no surprise there, I'm looking forward to doing gym work outs as the downloaded workouts look great and gives instructions on how to do them if needed I really cant fault it and although I don't need to wear a chest HR strap I have the option for more detailed workouts particularly indoors but more so when running using it pay is spot on ideal works really well having alarms for different things works great timers and stop watch perfect not used the golf but plan to as its a great idea especially when doing a round on own, love this idea when it needs charging its really quick too or jst an hour and its pretty much charged from near empty, also great for doing ultras (over 24hrs) although you cant wear it whilst charging, a remote quick charge will give you another days worth of run no problem and the connection for charging is strong and firm (not flimsy/loose) love the average resting heart rate display (after wearing for a few days ie 3 ) the display is brilliant in sunlight and I got this after my Fitbit charge3 hr display died, so I no longer wear 2 types of timers as I only wore my garmin 630 when running, now I only use my Garmin vivoactive 3 as it gives me steps as well and constant HR and I pretty much only used Fitbit for steps/time/HR hence I no longer need it changeable wristbands a bonus too nice and simple to do no drama receiving texts.calls,instant messages, diary notifications and any others I choose to allow such as security cameras notifications this is brilliant the satnav navigation is useful when you leave your car in a car park in another town/city changing the watch faces is awesome too altho I like the digi white numbers that turn blue as to reach steps activity target and also has hr and day date on i could go on and on about how good this Garmin is but my final bit is I opted not for the music version as I can use mobile if needed and control it whilst running exercising as I always have mobile with me any way as an emergency if ever needed i'm thankful I got this in an desertcart sale and brand new as I was looking for a Fitbit HR4 due to my Fitbit HR3 stopping working and spotted the Vivoactive3 which after reading the write ups I'm really pleased and it comes with a 2 year guarantee :-) so I'm well pleased I wouldn't bother with a screen protector I did at 1st and it came off after a short while and the type of glass this Garmin is fitted with (Gorrilla3 I think) its pretty sturdy protection if you haven't gathered already I REALLY love this Garmin my favorite in the past was the Garmin 310XT due to battery life but although the Vivoactive is less using GPS its easy to recharge and the stats its produces are really spot on amazing for me anyway hope this review helps someone
Review: A 4 month runners review - brilliant watch and supporting app - Updated July 2019 after 4 months of use - typically training 8+ times a week across multiple sports, including approx. 50km to 60km of running per week: I have long been a loyal user of running watches produced by Garmin and my most recent (and much loved) watch is this Garmin Vivo Active 3. I have also road tested the Polar Vantage M, also being a Multisport watch, is a good side by side competitor for the Vivo Active so in this review I also compare the Vivo Active 3 to this watch. Set Up: - You can set up the watch with or without the Garmin App. It is recommended to use the app and therefore I did (I also love analyising my fitness data so a watch which isn’t syncing with an app is no fun for me). - The watch was easy to set up and both the watch and App were intuitive to use. Charging - The watch was ready to charge on arrival. It comes with a USB charger (note: no mains plug, you will either need to charge via a laptop or a mains to USB charger). The watch attaches to the charger via an each magnetic connection. - The watch went from out of box to being 100% charged in less than 1 hour (via mains). - The charger is a small clip in which attaches to the back of the watch. Aesthetics, general wearability and day to day use - The Garmin looks very good on my wrist, it is a nice small size for day to day wear (it is slightly smaller than the Polar Vantage M) - It is light and as a result it was easy to forget I was wearing it. - The strap is soft and pliable (other running watches such as the Polar watches have quite stiff straps). Ease of Operation: - The watch is operated largely by touch screen (there is only one button on the side of the watch). I really like the intuitive and easy to use touch screen ability – it feels modern and up to date but more importantly it is very quick to navigate. - To start training you select the button on the device and then scroll to find the activity you want to start. You can set the watch up so your most frequently used (or favorite) activities are listed up front for a quick start. There are many pre-programmed activities but I have mainly used the running (outdoors), treadmill running, indoor cycling and strength training activities. - The activity is paused by pressing the same button and then the touch screen gives end and save options. GPS log on - There is nothing more frustrating then your watch taking a long time to log onto the GPS signal when you just want to start running, I was concerned about this having read other reviews of this watch. - I had no siginifcant issues with the GPS link up. I have used the watch in a small town, a city, at the start of many races and in the countryside when trail running and the GPS log on was adequate in all locations (usually almost immediate but on rare and more frustrating occasions up to 1 minute). - It is worth noting that the Polar watch I have road tested often found GPS signal before the Garmin. Activities/Running/Distance Accuracy/GPS - As a runner this is what is most important to me. - The outdoor running accuracy appears to be incredibly good. It has matched (with very small tolerances) with official race measured distances in anything from 5km to 30km races. - On set up I selected automatic pause so when I stop running, for example at traffic lights, the device automatically pauses and then restarts tracking once I am running again. This feature worked well. - I like the strength training rep counter although I don’t always use it (unless I am wanting to deliberately slow down my work rate) Data screens - Along side the accuracy of data the availability of data whilst running is important to me. - Each data screen can hold 4 pieces of data (e.g. pace, distance, time etc.). - You can customise what data you have via the app. - The data was easy to see whilst running and gave me the information I needed to monitor and improve my performance. Display - The display is graphics are not amazing but they didn’t interfere with my enjoyment of the watch. - I really enjoy the fact that you can customise what data you have on your standard watch screen. I have mine set up to show digital time, date and step count. Interaction with other devices and apps - In common with all runners I know I like to be able to analyse my running data and look at details such as my heart rate, pace and so on over the course of a run. - The Garmin uses the Garmin Connect app to do this. The watch is quick to syncronise and does this itself after activities. It can also be forced via the app. - The have my Garmin App (and therefore the watch data) also syncronised to MyFitnessPal so that my calories burnt are sent over to MFP and calories consumed are sent from MFP to the Garmin (watch and app). As a training aide - Being able to pre-program workouts before setting off makes for much easier interval training. - I use the Garmin to write a training plan with specific work-outs (e.g. interval training) and these then become available in the watch on syncing the two together. - The data you get on the watch at the end of the run is not that extensive (the Polar watch may be better for you if you want this on the watch) but the data in the app is extensive and useful for a post race or run postmortem. Battery life - The battery life on the Garmin is very good, but outperformed by the Polar when both had the same features engaged (e.g. continuous heart rate monitoring). Garmin App - The Garmin Connect App is what takes this watch from a very good 4* product to a 5* watch for me. - It is a real life tracker. I track my weight (and my BMI which is automatically tracks), my steps, my menstrual cycle, my calories in (and out, via a link up with MFP), I analyse my run and race results, set and monitor step (and other activity) goals – I must look at the App on average 10 times per day. - The App is easy to use, intuitive and I honestly believe it has contributed to me developing an even healthier lifestyle. - The app is the reason why I can’t see myself moving away from Garmin when I need my next running watch/activity tracker. Other features - The ‘sleep’ feature isn’t very accurate as it seems to think I’m asleep from the minute I get into bed and start reading until I get up in the morning. All sleep trackers I have tried do however tend to have the same issue. - I had the watch paired with my phone all day via the Garmin Connect app so I could receive message etc. notifications – a useful function but it does drain the battery more quickly In summary the Garmin Vivo Active 3 is an amazing watch supported by a brilliant app and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Update May 2020: This watch is over a year old now. It is still being worn daily 24/7 (except when being recharged) and the battery life is still as good as it was when new and functioning fine with no damage and even the strap shows only very minor physical wear and tear. Update 21 July 2020: still being used daily. The battery will last 4-5 days without charge at a push if not using the sports activities. If so count on recharge every 1-2 days. Under light usage, expect to charge daily for about 10-20mins. Getting up and having a shower is ideal time if you wear it overnight for sleep tracking.
