Gotta have my JAMS!
on June 17, 2019
Posted by: Arn82
So far so good. I like not having to carry my phone on my run and this thing allowed me to do that while playing music. I know I could have picked a lot of different watches but I gotta have my jams while I run.

Clear Display

I had another smart watch before the vivoactive 3. When I would go out in the sun it was hard to see. With this watch I can go out with the sun shining and see this display clearly. This watch is also so light and you can barely feel that it’s in your arm. It makes it easy to wear. The other watch I had never lasted even a day. With this one it has lasted so much longer and I’m pleased with the battery life and am pleased that I don’t have to plug it in every night.

Amazing Features and the app is easy to navigate
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: Davin
I bought this watch about 1 month ago and have loved every second of it since then. I did have a difficult time figuring how to get to the music I downloaded but I eventually figured it out. To save others some time, you have to go to the music section, then tap and hold down on it. To set up your music, go to the first option that says Music Providers and tap on it. Then there are two options, one say My Music and the other says Control Music On Phone. My Music is music you downloaded and Control Music On Phone is if you have a premium subscription to a music app such as Spotify, iHeart Radio, ect. You can choose either one of those by tapping in one. To set up wireless headphones, you go to the music section tap and hold down on it. Then scroll down the list and tap on the second option the says Headphones. Once you do that there should be a button that says Add New. Tap on it, turn your wireless headphones on and they should show up on your watch screen in 1 to 2 minutes mabye less. Well I hope this review is helpful to some people, if not then sorry for waisting you time.

feels cheap
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: biro
too expensive for the build quality and display resolution
please show me a use case and settings profile which guarantees the 7 day battery life
the keyboardish thing for the payment security is not intuitive enough
i know its not a fenix but it could be cheaper.

Sorry to hear about your experience with the device. We do offer a wide range of products to meet our customers needs. For the battery it can depend on how the watch is set up however it can be effected by the software version running on the device as well. As for the payment process I would encourage you to reach out to our support team so that we can get details on what you are seeing.
