Just one button is tricky, No onboard music, Notifications a bit meh
The Garmin Vivoactive 3 is a big improvement on the HR in design that also beefs up its sports tracking. Not only that, but it's better as an all-day health tracking device, and paired with the new Connect app, Garming is giving Fitbit, Apple et al more t...

Great exercise tracking, Very good battery life, Contender for smartest Garmin watch yet
Software not as slick as Wear or Watch OS, Garmin Pay not ready yet, No standalone music playback
The Garmin Vivoactive 3 is one of the tastiest fitness watches we've seen so far. It looks good, isn't a wrist-dominator, outlasts just about all normal smartwatches and gets you tracking similar to a Fenix 5 at almost half the price. What's not to like...

Affordable, Long-lasting battery life, Lightweight design, Versatile and capable of tracking multiple activities, Degree of data detail
Garmin Pay isn't supported in the UK yet, Some connectivity issues, Screen less attractive than Apple/Fitbit competition
The Garmin Vivoactive 3 is quite a change from the Vivoactive HR when it comes to design. It's much more conventional as a watch and we suspect that it will find many fans as a result. In terms of unique offering, this is the only device that offers Garmi...

Premium design, New payment tech
Slightly dull display, No music support

Abstract: Another day, another vivo-something from Garmin.The new Vivoactive 3 smartwatch though, looks radically different from its predecessors, which have either square or rectangular designs, and resemble running watches.With its circular stainless steel bezel...
Long battery life, Easy to use touch interface, Good daily and aerobic heart rate tracking, Comprehensive stats in Garmin app, Smart notifications with calendar
Heart rate tracking confused by intervals, Inaccurate sleep tracking, Garmin app UI is a maze
Élégante, Bonne autonomie, Personnalisable, Très complète
Navigation et paramétrage des menus pas toujours évident, Prix justifié mais néanmoins élevé
La Vívoactive 3 de Garmin se révèle une montre élégante et très fonctionnelle. De bonne facture, et produit déjà premium, avec ses 299,99 € affichés, elle se montre tout aussi complète sur le plan des fonctionnalités que la Fitbit Ionic, se positionnant s...

Facilité d'emploi, même pour les débutants, Fonctions capteur d'activité bien remplies, Notifications au poignet, Nombreuses personnalisations des données à afficher et des alarmes (cardio, distance, fractionnés. ), Alertes sonores et par vibration, Pers
Capteur cardio intégré au poignet pas toujours efficace, Peu d'assistance pour les débutants qui veulent être accompagnés, Bracelet trop juste pour les gros poignets (pour porter la montre par-dessus un vêtement l'hiver), Pas d'agrandissement de la cartog
Connectée et tactile, la Vivoactive 3 n'est cependant pas une montre comparable à celles qui fonctionnent sous Android Wear ou aux Apple Watch Series 3 et Series 2 tant ses fonctions en la matière et son écran sont limités. C'est en revanche une bonne mon...
