Smartwatch GARMIN Vivoactive 3 1,2in GPS Waterproof 5 ATM Glonass Black Stainless Steel (Renewed)

Way better than my Fitbit Blaze
This watch competes against the smarter of the Fitbit watches, and since I came from using a Fitbit Blaze, that’s what I’m largely going to compare it against.The one place where fitbit devices win out is in the resident application, and auto activity detection.While I generally prefer the Garmin app, It is infuriating that food tracking is outsourced to Under Armour’s application. They do sync together, but the Under Armor app is about 90% advertisements, is bloated, and a pain to use.Also, this device has trouble accurately detecting when I climb stairs, and it 100% fails to autodetect activities, like walking, jogging or bike riding.Those are the negatives. Onto the positives.1. Heart rate: The heart rate detection is nearly flawless, especially compared to my old fitbit. The Garmin almost never loses my heart rate, whereas the fitbit would constantly drop out.2. Onboard GPS: I can go running, biking, etc with just the watch, and it has ONBOARD gps. A number of Fitbit products claim to do GPS tracking of activities, but in the fine print, they let you know it uses your phone GPS to track, so you’re really no better off than just using an app on your phone at that point.3. Battery life: Battery life on the Garmin watch is epic. I can easily go over a week without charging it. In fact, I get MORE life than Garmin claims. The only caveat to that is when you are doing GPS tracking, you can burn through a charge in a long day or so. For passive wear, though, it is epic.4. Screen: At first I was underwhelmed by the screen, it’s a reflective color LCD, so it is much less vibrant than some other smart watches. However, that reflective screen has some benefits I didn’t consider at first… Since it is LCD, it can be on ALL THE TIME. That means there are no button presses or strange arm twitches needed to check the time. If it’s dark out, a quick tap of the screen will turn on the backlight. Also, the screen is touch-sensitive, which makes navigation very intuitive.5. Device navigation: Dovetailing to the above point, you can move around on the watch using multiple techniques: Swiping and tapping on the screen, sliding your finger along the side opposite the crown button, and tapping the crown button. This flexibility allows use of the watch with gloves on.6. Customization: There are many, many great watchfaces and applications available for the Vivoactive watches.7. Watchbands: Unlike Fitbit, Garmin opted for a traditional watch band system. This means you can go out and buy whatever style band you like, and use it with the Vivoactive. I’m personally a fan of metal bands, so it was easy to get something that fit nicely.Overall, much superior to other offerings I’ve tried out.

Una compra adecuada
Funciona muy bien tras un mes de uso, no veo ningún inconveniente, se ve y funciona como nuevo y el envío llegó antes de la fecha límite para Colombia. Sí es resistente al agua.

Watch with problems!!!
In the first month of use the watch failed.

Good price for a refurbished fitness watch
I’ll start by saying the backlight on the watch is much dimmer than the Fitbit Charge 5 that it replaced, and that the pictures of the watch face on Amazon and even on the Garmin website are ALL doctored. Even on Ebay they are often doctored by shining a light at the watch when a picture is taken. The only picture that is accurate is on the DC Rainmaker website. So that is a negative. But, I also know this is done in order to reduce battery consumption so that’s a positive. But, otherwise, the watch battery is still good enough to last the day, even when using the GPS which was a big concern with a refurbished watch. These watches are all over Ebay for 50% of the price – but usually lacking the charging cable – and it’s a crapshoot with whether the battery is still good in them and if it isn’t, you are up a creek with returning them. I really got burned with the unreliable GPS in the Fitbit Charge 5 but with this watch, the GPS and heartrate monitoring work GREAT and the extra cost of buying it from an Amazon seller was worth it. Once the battery wears out I’ll replace it – there’s videos on doing it and it’s not hard to do.
