Review on 💪 Revolutionize Your Fitness Tracking with Garmin Vívoactive GPS Smartwatch Gunmetal by Cee Pouncy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome watch with slow touchscreen/interface

Great watch! WATERPROOF, not waterproof. Battery life seems a bit excessive, I get 3 days with the backlight on and 10% brightness. The pixel memory LCD is clear and sharp, it can be read in all lighting conditions, especially sunlight! At 10% backlighting, text is easy to read without burning your retinas like tuna steaks. The Connect app is ok/good but it's full of junk. Stick with what you really want and need because you only get 13 app slots (I think) and the extra watch faces take up space. Fitness tracking works GREAT. Expected from a company known for their GPS and metrics. Heart rate is exactly what the hospital's blood pressure cuffs read (don't ask me how I know, embarrassingly). The main downside is that the UI/touchscreen can be VERY slow to respond at times, resulting in double input or no input at all. I have the most trouble with apps that aren't gesture-based but use XY input - meaning swiping the screen works infinitely better than tapping the on-screen button. I give it an overall rating of 3.5/5, maybe an update will fix my responsiveness issue and bring it up to a solid 4/5. If you get the advertised 7 days of battery life, you get a 4.5/5. Built-in music storage and Bluetooth playback are the last straw to make this watch perfect. Vivofit3 Music exists, but I couldn't find one for a reasonable price (not even close to MSRP). Great watch but with some quirks.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
