Best active gear!

My Garmin was given to me as a gift. I had a fitbit and I liked it, but Garmin is so much better. I don't think I'll ever go back to my fitbit. The features are great!

Limited feature use, but impressed so far!

I bought this 3 nights ago. Was able to get it started up and connected to my phone in less than 10 minutes. Have begun to use more widgets and features of the watch. Sleep information is interesting and have only been able to use it for swimming once, but was impressed with the distance tracking, interval timing and the fact that I didn’t have to worry about wearing it right from day use to swim training. So far so good!

Very bad user interface
on September 19, 2018
Posted by: mmtaimoor
I bought it and returned on the same day, the user interface is very bad and doesn’t have any sharpness in the interface, the color combination is also very weak. The accuracy is less than that of an Apple Watch

Small wrist band
on September 19, 2018
Posted by: Robbie
The watch has a smaller than expected wrist band that barely works on my wrist. I previously had a Vivioactive and assumed they would be the same. I'm not a huge guy so some will not be able to wear this watch.

Almost fantastic
on September 20, 2018

I love this watch for what it does. No doubt. I'm so happy with the activity and workout tracking, I'm beside myself. I'm looking forward to hitting the pool with it as well.
Now, as far as it being titled "Music"...
Why? It's a pain in the butt to pull music over to it. It doesn't have apps for Spotify and the like. Why not? I know it's Spotify's deal, but you should have had this setup before releasing a device entitled "Music" guys. It's like, a big big bad deal.

From Apple Watch to Vivoactive 3 Music
on September 23, 2018
Posted by: Feral Zen
After years of Apple allegiance culminated in the entire watch face just falling off my Apple Watch and a lot of research, I made the jump to Garmin for the internal GPS. I am loving my the sleep tracker and the step challenges (not built in to the Apple Watch). The Watch itself is much lighter and comfortable enough to wear all the time. (Even though I could because it’s waterproof, I don’t wear it while showering.) I’ve had this device for a week and have charged it once-a HUGE change from having to put my Apple Watch on the charger every night!

Not Easy
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: DisappointedKW
I bought the Garmin and my partner bought the Iwatch at the exact same time. She had hers set up in an hour. Two days later I am still trying to figure out how to set up the Vivioactive 3. I bought this specifically for the music and it is very complicated... Should have got the Iwatch.
