Review on Garmin 010-01769-09 Vívoactive 3 by Xavier Xavier ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I chose watches with smart functions and good batteries and a more or less classic look. Analogues from Suunto and Polar cost 40+ thousand, I bought these for 20400 in Hong Kong in October 2022. I bought two at once for myself and my wife. I will be replaced by Samsung, it will be replaced by Apple Watch 3. The only analogue for this money is the Samsung c3, ​​but I already ate these semi-finished products. I would never recommend their watches or phones to anyone. Applications for Samsung watches are confused and eat up the phone’s battery, and the watch itself does not hold a charge for two days, but with a tracker a day. Yes, there is a slight loss in smart features, but great for running, cycling, swimming and strength training. In general, if you need not just smart, but also do sports, then this is the best choice.

Pros
  • Light, after the Samsung Gear S2, they hold the battery well. Running about 1 hour a day, the battery lasts for 4 days. Functions after Samsung are familiar, but when running you don’t have to carry your phone with you, and the native tracker is very functional and accurate. Garmin Pay is just a lifesaver if you don’t have a phone with you, but suddenly you want to drink while jogging. Everyday parameters - steps, calorie consumption are measured perfectly. There is integration with Strava, and through it with Endomondo, to which I am accustomed, and have been keeping records in it for many years. The Garmin Connect application does not waste the phone's battery, unlike Sunsung Health, which eats 20-25% and just the whole phone goes to it.
Cons
  • They do not measure Vo2max, but this is a little needed function. There is little memory for applications, but this is secondary for a sports tracker. There are no more shortcomings.
