The Garmin Vivosmart 3 is slim, very comfortable to wear, has a built-in heart-rate monitor and is fully waterproof. It's loaded with extra features, including stress-level measurements, VO2 Max readings, and a rep counter. It shows notifications from you
Some of the features are a little difficult to access on the watch; the display isn't as sharp as some competing models' displays
Although it's not so intuitive to navigate, the slim and comfortable Vivosmart 3 is a very good activity tracker that's waterproof and feature-packed...

Rep counting, Auto activity tracking, Smart notifications
No GPS, Hit and miss wake movement sensing, Plain design
The inclusion of that VO2 max measure in the Vivosmart 3 allows for accurate training metrics which can help you work towards a fitter future.Rep counting for weights, fitness age and heart rate monitoring complement a very capable activity tracker that o...
Discreet and comfortable design, Good battery life, Touch interface is easy to use, Water-resistant
Garmin Connect app is still messy, Can't respond to notifications, Rep counting feels tacked on
Garmin Vivosmart 3 – Activity Tracking and App When it comes to activity tracking, the Vivosmart 3 ticks all the boxes. You can expect the usual step counting, compared against a dynamically adapting step goal, alongside flights of stairs climbed and the...

Good battery life, Plain and simple design, Smartwatch-style notifications, Rich collection of metrics
HR sensor struggles with high-intensity workouts, Not an always-on screen, Fiddly, not-that-responsive interface, Garmin Connect app is dull
The Garmin Vivosmart 3 is a fitness band with several personalities. It's a step counter. It's a semi-hardcore fitness band. It's a basic smartwatch. Heck, it's even a mindfulness coach. All of this fits into an innocuous black band that lasts most of a...
Move IQ feature will automtically count the number of repss you do with weights, meaning you don't have to, Slim and stylish design that's more discreet compared to previous models, Display only lights up when you tap it or move your wrist towards you ano
Can only input the calories consumed by creating a MyFitnessPal account and linking the activity tracker to that, We like that it can be worn when swimming, but it's disappointing that it won't track the activity
If you want an activity tracker but you're keen on fitness too - this is the one for you. It can measure all the vital statstics that will help your train better and can even tell you how stressed your are...
Lots of features on offer, including VO2 Max, Supports some strength activities, Good price
No GPS, Display can be unresponsive sometimes, Heart rate not the best at high intensity
Garmin has re-angled the Vivosmart to make it better competition for Fitbit. The loss of GPS is a shame, even though distance tracking on the 3 is good. But as a daily activity tracker this still offers a lot, including the bonus of stress tracking. The $...
Bland design, online community isn't as interactive as it could be
The Vivosmart 3 fell decently short in our testing process overall, with there being many other options that are much better and less expensive for typical, day-to-day fitness tracking. This might be an alright pick if you absolutely have to have a Garmin...
Stress/heart rate variance feature is unique and useful, Accurate VO2 max estimates, Advanced features for weight lifters, Great activity tracking, Waterproof
No option to sync with GPS on a phone, Awkward UI, Uninspiring design, Not all features work perfectly (weightlifting in particular)
The vívosmart 3 is a little strange and awkward but should be commended for trying new things. For the right user, this will be a tempting option with unique benefits...
