As such, there are no disadvantages, it is convenient to use.

The bracelet was purchased as a "continuation" of xiaomi2, which did not suit moisture protection, the undesirability of the sauna and frequent charging. The general idea (shoulder-scapular arthritis leaves not very many opportunities to monitor weight) - ellipse, swimming pool, sauna. If I don’t get steps, I’ll walk for an hour in the evening. The first thing that pleased me was the bracelet. Maybe he is too reliable, but somehow it is more pleasant when it is like that) The second is an…

Pros
  • Long term work. Everyone has said this more than once, but it's really convenient, compared to the same xiaomi;) Waterproof. I swim calmly. He adds something in steps, but I have records in another exercise, so I don’t really peer. But swimming is comfortable. (Temperature.) Will have to delete ((( (Behaves great in the sauna, unlike lithium-polymer batteries, everything is in order here.) Will have to delete Bracelet. Very secure fastening. Garmin Community Extension Can connect HRM Added on 11/14/2022 The work of the service center Navicom. They changed the device twice without any problems, gave a non-violent lecture on thermal shocks and condensate in liquid crystal screens. The warranty is extended by 3 (three) months if the end of the warranty is less than a year old.
Cons
  • Probably still the lack of a heart rate monitor. BUT! such devices have a very inaccurate measurement, completely incomparable with a cardiac sensor. Maybe the price, but I compare with xiaomi2 and the difference is not in quantity, but in quality. But a little cheaper would not hurt) It could be brighter, but it's okay. Added on 11/12/2022 As a result of 10 months. There was one sync failure. In theory, it's not critical. But the fact that 32,000 steps flowed was very unpleasant . Seriously - see photo. Crystals are dying. The good news is that they replace it under warranty without any problems. Bad - service center on Kozhukhovskaya. Very bad - this is the second case (that is, one has already changed). In general, trash - a year warranty, and then what to do with these? My warranty ends on 11/17/17, when replacing the first tracker, it did not last. What will happen now? Don't know. I hope I will transfer this part to the Dignity if Navikom behaves decently) Added 11/14/2022 to Navikom +100500 to karma - see merits. Specifically, the shortcomings. Despite the absence of restrictions on visiting the sauna in the instructions, Alas. ! WITH ! DEVICE ! DO NOT ! COME IN! AT ! SAUNA! Heat stroke occurs. The first - when the temperature rises, the second - when it falls. As a result, condensation and death to crystals (((

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

After replacing the battery, the clock began to freeze, after synchronization it worked for a while and then stopped. The step counter worked. Due to the freezing of the clock, steps, sleep, and so on were not synchronized correctly. After a long correspondence with Garmin technical support, I received an answer that the bracelet is not repairable, that is, it is disposable until the battery dies. After that, you can throw it away, which is somehow strange for a bracelet for 100 bucks at a…

Pros
  • 1. Battery 2. Step counting
Cons
  • no claimed Movie IQ

Real junk, such a terrible quality still needs to be searched.

Clearly an underdeveloped model. Not worth your money at all. The software is crooked, the developers did not offer anything sane when contacting PlayMarket. Removed and put in a box. With its pros. Gave. Liked the form factor. The bracelet is good, for 10 months of use there has never been an accidental "opening" of the lock. Everything, there are no more advantages. Its cons: 1. Incorrectly counts steps. 2. Swimming is perceived as running :)))) 3. Calls for activity at night :)))) 3a. Sleep

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…

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 ;-)).

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

I do not recommend spending money on this fitness tracker. They gave it to me, at first there was a lot of joy, because before that I just had a pedometer without my own screen. In fact, it turned out that this is also nothing more than a pedometer. The IQ system, which is declared by the manufacturer, does not work. After half an hour of cycling, I was surprised to find that the bracelet did not notice any activity behind me - 0 steps, 0 minutes of activity. And I saw a similar comment on one…

Pros
  • battery
Cons
  • too much, read the comment

Good product for me, no problems at all.

We've been using it for a year and a half now. The bracelet is worn by a child from 5 years old. As they say, both in fire and in water, we were at the sea, we go to the pool, in the summer we often fell on the asphalt. After a year I changed the battery, I looked at the instructions on the Internet. The bracelet was badly worn. I downloaded the application to my phone and the child plays the game that is in the application for achievements. The child is happy, does not take off the clock, has…

Pros
  • Battery, moisture resistance, impact.
Cons
  • The screen is scratched.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Its pros: Comfortably sits on the hand. It’s cool that you don’t need constant recharging, this is just a very strong bonus. Has some cons The strap is comfortable, but not very tight on the hand. When you put your hand somewhere in a backpack or cling to something, the bracelet flies off.

Disgusting, dissatisfied with the purchase.

Complete disappointment. The device worked for a little less than a year, the battery ran out, changed - hellish glitches started, resets the number of steps, constantly hangs, does not synchronize. It turns out that it is one-time, it is not clear why such money is being pulled. I was seduced by the quality of a well-known manufacturer and in vain. The Chinese for 2-3 thousand work at the level, it makes no sense to pay for such a one-time craft. Even if it broke, I threw it away and bought a…

Pros
  • Battery, no need to charge. Enough for about 9-10 months when synchronizing 2 times a day. Good software with statistics.
Cons
  • No special advantages compared to competitors, extremely overpriced! Disposable tracker.
