Review on 🔧 Refurbished Garmin Vívoactive GPS Smartwatch by Don Pintac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing to Lose: Men

Okay, a few things. But I think it's important. Select a GPS nation provider from the list. Your customer service is excellent. I emailed them, they replied to me so quickly. Excellent customer service. You really have nothing to lose and get EVERYTHING when you buy a product through Revain Renewed. 90-day guarantee, help the planet, save money on other things, help small businesses thrive. I mean win, win, win everything. Judging by your email correspondence, they were refurbished directly by Garmin (speaking of this particular seller, I can't tell if this is the case with other sellers) and a new battery was installed. can you be wrong Sure, there can be lemons 🍋, but new electronics also fall victim to this. She looks like new! I've used a Fitbit 2 charger for years, then an Apple Watch, then tried a cheaper fitness tracker (was ok) and now a Garmin. Fitness information pushes Fitbit and Apple out of the water. I'm one of the very few people who hasn't "fallen in love" with the Apple Watch. It was very nice, but I prefer to watch fitness. Bring me to the next point. If you're primarily looking for a smarter watch, the vivoactive 3 probably isn't for you. If you are looking for more health information and more fitness information then Garmin would be a great brand to try. It's primarily a fitness watch with some smartwatch stuff. This is why I decided to get a refurbished watch because I can try out Garmin watches and see if I like them, among other good reasons. So if you want to try Garmin and love a fitness watch, give it a try. BE PATIENT. Lots of different software updates, so please wait a bit to download them. They had a link on the sheet but I just had the watch done. It took a while so don't worry about technical issues if you just got your watch and it's not syncing. Or sync and desync. Give it time. It's annoying but to be expected. The watch has software updates. Once this is done the sync is fine and I get notifications on my phone. NO sync problems. It also connected to my phone immediately. (iPhone 6s plus) If you are used to Apple Watch or Fitbit, please be patient and give yourself some time with the watch as there is a bit of a setup/learning curve working with the watch and getting all the details health and fitness information, apps; Background images, etc. in the Garmin Connect apps. (There's connectivity and IQ, it's with wallpapers and more) Just give yourself a few hours and do some workouts. It's my second day and at least I have pretty much everything that's important to me. still testing. The watch looks like new! You can buy 20mm straps to change straps. I was very skeptical about refurbished watches but their items are refurbished by Garmin, fast customer service, good delivery time. Nothing to lose. At that price I bought an extended warranty just in case. It was about 8 and some changes for extra peace of mind but I don't think I need it now. This is an ugly box. So if given as a gift, it might not be as perfect as a box that doesn't say refurbished. on topic. If this is important to you, you can safely pack it in another box. I will report any problems. I put a protective film and a bumper on mine and already changed the straps. Works perfectly, synchronized. I just need to go for a walk outside and find some stairs because I want to make sure all the sensors are working. I'll also report battery life, but I don't usually wait for my watch to die, I turn it on to charge when I shower. I think it lasts around 4-5 days, that's with workouts, notifications, normal use, etc.

Pros
  • Great Selection
Cons
  • Sun-Sun
