I've been using Garmin for a few years, the price is very reasonable for the functions it has.
It measure heart rate, can show notifications from android or iPhone. I find it quite handy.
But some time is not too comfortable wearing.
But overall great price with good quality. Value for money if u like to track heart rate, steps.

Wanted to give the tracker 5 stars but i think its really 4 stars because of the garmin connect app. Wanted something to track my basic outputs, heart rate, steps and most of all sleep patterns which is important to me. Have family members and friends with fitbits who tell me all sorts of stories about quality or lack of it. Basic fitbits win on the looks department but not being waterproof is a deal breaker for me. The garmin is robust and well built and above all waterproof, not just splashproof, so i can wear it everywhere. It does everythin...

Not many colours to choose from I purchased the blue other choices were black or plum, though unable to swap wristbands for abit of a change.
Though screen is easy to read even in sunlight, does notifications, steps, stairs, heart rate, sleep, music great little bundle.
Downside for me is the battery life I get approx 4 days

Got this last year and to replace my vivosmart 2. As the 2 has broken a few times. Did a bit research and compared it to Fitbit, still personally like Garmin as it’s waterproof(Fitbit is probabaly waterproof as well)
I wear it day and night. It can detect the movement if I’m walking/running/cycling. Didn’t seem to be able to detect swimming. I found it useful as mobile notification as I like to keep my mobile silent all the time.
Great value however hope the battery last longer than the 2

The vivosmart 3 was one of my best purchases of 2017. I switched to this from the fitbit charge 2 solely because it is waterproof and am mostly happy. It info pretty well however it constantly records flights of stairs climbed inaccurately compared to the charge 2. My other complaint would be that the screen is poorly lit and sometimes hard to read compared to the charge 2 but i live the extra features such as reps counted and v02 max. The app is a little hard to use sometimes as had major issues with pairing it with my old phone but it works seamlessly with my new phone. the pros mostly outweigh the cons with this smart watch, it they can fix the problems with flights climbed and change the screen i'd be much happier

I've owned the Garmin Vivosmart 3 for about 8 months now, wear it everyday, and there are no signs of wear which is outstanding. I wanted to wait at least 6 months before reviewing this because of my previous experiences with Fitbit devices.

Durability and sync issues were my gripes with the multitude of Fitbits I'd owned, which is why I'd give Garmin a go and I must say, I'm rather impressed with this Vivosmart watch.

iPhone compatibility is excellent so there's minimal syncing interference.
Notifications are pushed through to the sof...

I resisted buying a fitness tracker when everyone else was buying them. But then I got to a stage where I needed to make changes in my life to get healthier. I was gaining weight and becoming physically uncomfortable and had pains in joints and bones that I never had before.

I decided I needed to move more... my iPhone had a health app that tracked my steps, but this wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to see it physically see it, easier. So I bit the bullet and went to Harvey Norman and looked at all the different fitness trackers available. F...

I have had two smart-watches, the original Garmin Vivosmart and the Apple Watch.

POSITIVE: I was disappointed with the Apple Watch in that accuracy and how the data was presented was not as good as Garmin/Fitbit. I enjoy walking, running and wanted an 'always-on' smartwatch that can track my sleeping habits and Heart Rate. The best thing about this watch is that it does all of the above activities well.

Battery lasts for about 5 days, and charging is quick. The watch band still looks brand new even after daily use for about 3 months now. ...

Vivosmart 3 feels very nice when you put it on your wrist due to its rubbery feeling and I dont even feel like wearing anything on my wrist. However, the screen is very small and sometimes it is very hard to navigate around the device as the screen is quite small and has no colour. Another drawback is that you have to use the garmin app which is not very good and very hard to interpret the data

So previously I've owned a Fitbit Charge HR - two actually - and managed to destroy both of them within about 18 months. My work isn't kind to large, glass-faced watches so a small, low profile wristband I can tuck under a shirt cuff is ideal. The form factor and functionality was there... the durability wasn't, unfortunately.

After a few months to stew over a possible replacement, I decided to go with the Vivosmart 3. Already being in the Garmin ecosystem due to owning a Fenix 3 watch for running and triathlon, it made sense to stay in Garm...
