Review on Garmin 010-01769-09 Vívoactive 3 by Marcos Fiallo

The only thing I don't like is that I bought it at full price and it's been on sale ever since :( Otherwise looks fantastic, works as expected. Handles some commands a bit slow but 99% I previously had a Garmin Forerunner 735 watch but gave it to my husband (who loves it) I like this watch better although it doesn't have an open swim or triathlon mode I've completed 2 triathlons with this watch and I Don't miss the 735 at all except for open water swimming but that wasn't as important as the other features.The contactless payment feature I haven't used yet.For sports/activities also I wear it non-stop and the white color is always still white - Quality features and functionality from Garmin - The application is seamless, detailed, comfortable and insightful - Fast tro is charging n - The notification feature is very useful, especially for phone calls or text messages during meetings or exercises (not something I think I care about, but I understand that it's nice not to take your phone to work meetings, but I can see if I need to answer an emergency call/text) - Lock screen feature is shower friendly and babies/toddlers will play with the watch when held - Find My Phone feature has been used more times than I'd like, so helpful - Numerous pre - Loaded exercises and I love that I can do "cardio" for exercises like plyometrics (not labeled as exercise in the Garmin software) and still track heart rate, calories and time and also show detailed stats about it. The battery lasts for several days (even if it is empty). a little faster if you work a ton every day. still lasts over 3-4 days for me even so far) - Backlight so you can see the sun while running, biking, hiking, swimming etc. - Sleep and stress tracking is actually pretty accurate and accurate - Time and stopwatch came in handy multiple times - V02 max and more! - Widgets are clean and easy to read - It's nice to be able to control my music from the watch, especially during activities where I don't have my phone handy (no, it's NOT the music version of the watch, but you CAN control but not save the music) - the touchscreen is responsive and glides well. You're in the water a lot, that can come in handy - Can't swim in open water, only swims on my knees (but that's 99% of my swimming, so it doesn't matter to me) - Maybe because of the screen or because of him is highlighted for it, but if the screen is "active" when you just touched it, it has a strange bluish cast in relation to the background color. Not a deal breaker for me. I still love watches. But I want the black color of the inactive background to remain black. - It wasn't on sale!
