Nice smartwatch

  • Very good battery life
  • Lots of apps, lots of information
  • Simple operation, easy to connect to the Garmin Connect app
  • Charging is not possible on all plugs and USB ports, so you have to be aware of that. Or buy an -too-expensive plug.

I purchased a Garmin Vivoactive 3 over four years ago and have always enjoyed wearing it. But the battery deteriorated and charging did not always happen automatically. Because I have a walking week this summer without electricity, I wanted a new smartwatch with a long battery life, also with GPS. And that's this one. Not much changes for me because I already had the 3. I also looked at Samsung and other smartwatches. But a: they are often much more expensive and b: the battery only lasts a day, and with GPS on only a few hours. You can't do a walking tour with that.

Great upgrade after the 4s

  • Clear screen
  • Recovery time
  • Sleeps score
  • No training suggestions

Great upgrade from my 4S, more than I need. But with more expensive watches you have even more functionalities.
