Garmin's Vivoactive 3 is an extremely fitness-focused smartwatch, much more so than the Fitbit Ionic or Apple Watch Series 3. That makes this device perfect for extremely fitness-focused people. The watch also looks better on the wrist than the Fitbit Ion...
Great display, good fitness tracking capabilities,
Expensive, harder to use
The Vivoactive 3 is a great product that just seems a little lost, toeing the line between a fitness tracker and a smartwatch. It's one of the smartest — and priciest fitness trackers that we have tested, but it still has some work to do to claim an award...

Lightweight, Great battery life, 24/7 heart rate monitoring
A little ugly, On the pricey side
