Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Refurbished Garmin Vivoactive Black: Enhanced Performance and Value by Mahmut Ojeda

Great product! in Running GPS Units

As a Moto 360 Smartwatch, I am very impressed. I still think standard smartwatches leave a lot to be desired and aren't particularly useful, but that's another story. I got it in the mail two days ago and its battery was at seventy five percent. Yesterday I rode my road bike twenty miles and ran four miles for a total of about two hours of use. This morning I drove to work as usual, another twenty miles in an hour or so. I also tracked two nights of sleep with it and used it from time to time to check notifications and the like. I just plugged it in to charge my remaining battery up to twenty percent. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the battery. Maps and stats are great post-workout metrics to check on, and Garmin never disappoints in the accuracy and wealth of information it provides through its connectivity app, which I think is very well designed. The watch is easy enough to use, if perhaps a bit harder than Android Wear. But I can't blame it because it's simply much more useful than any modern smartwatch. My refurbished model came in a hard case and looked almost new, there were no scratches on the screen, I'm pretty sure the strap was new and overall very clean. I will continue to use Garmin products as my fitness trackers because they are so much more useful than I've seen Fitbit and they match my training methods better than anything else.

Pros
  • Best in its Niche
Cons
  • Outdated
