Review on Garmin Vivosmart Purple Certified Refurbished by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

As a result of the declared monitoring functions for sports fans, Vivosmart3 has much more than in "regular" smartwatches (and there was a choice between these categories). However, the voiced disadvantages in the operation of the main functions do not allow recommending Vivosmart 3. In contrast to the Samsung Gear S3, in conjunction with Samsung Health, they surprised and pleased

Pros
  • In general, the device pleases, if not for the cons
Cons
  • I did not expect such a low accuracy of the pedometer - in a car for 30 minutes of driving along our ordinary city roads, I added about 100 steps (moreover, I specially measured and entered the length of my step - I thought it would suddenly help). At the same time, I was wearing Samsung Gear S3 for the experiment - not a single extra step. Okay steps, because of this, Garmin counts me climbing extra floors during the trip. In general, if we compare the step count with these two gadgets, Garmin always shows 15-20% more, but I don’t really believe this. I checked it on a treadmill, took 422 steps - Garmin added 19, Samsung 3. With floors, again, the accounting is not entirely clear and stable. On the treadmill while running, Garmin showed the pulse correctly, but when the next run activated the exercise (running mode or something), the device stubbornly showed the pulse 100-110 (Gear S3 at that time showed 160). A year later, the strap broke near the screen without any external influences. Replacing the strap, apparently, is impossible - it remains only to throw it away.
