Not everything is so bad, but there are disadvantages.

After buying garmin vivofit 3 and to start its full use, I had to: put Windows 10 on my smartphone (8 was and worked fine, but there is no program version for it :-) ). With a smartphone Lenonvo K900 (Android) - does not want to work (old version of Android). I spent about two hours of time on pairing and initial settings of the device (I was not sure that I could repeat it a second time (it turned out with difficulty !)). Cooking tambourines ;-)! I can only recommend with the above reservations!

Pros

Accurate and automatic display of physical activity data. The battery lasts one year (don't think about "charging" another device; standard battery is available in many stores). Protection against water (depth up to 50 meters) - we will not remove it in the shower and pool. Replacement strap - when it breaks - just buy a new one (without changing the device). Reasonable price (BUT ONLY with a 60% discount (5420), competitors - from $ 30).

Cons

Limited functionality without primary synchronization with a smartphone (no clock, calendar or alarm clock). It is impossible (without buying additional devices) to synchronize with the PC (although there is a built-in BlueTooth). It was NEVER possible to synchronize with a smartphone under Windows 10 via Garmin Connect™ Mobile. Two attempts and both failed :-(. You can’t set, turn on or turn off the alarm without a smartphone. The initial synchronization with the Garmin Connect™ Mobile program took me about two hours (the second time I connected another vivofit 3 - also about 2 hours). The program is absolutely not friendly, i. E. does not tell "what am I doing wrong". A few minutes of synchronization and ending with an error (and so many, many times). Pictures in the 2022-language manual (printed version) SUPER low resolution (available on the site Garmin in PDF, try to understand how to change the battery in the picture ;-)).
