Garmin Vivomove 3 Hybrid Smartwatch – Worth a purchase

Nice classic watch designe with a smart app twist, although it tells me to get up and move some times just after i have walked the dogs for an hour.

Beautiful watch , light as a feather not to big or small. The only thing that’s a problem it would be perfect if the hands and time spots were illuminated for dark.

Love this watch it looks great and works well easy to use.

Arrived quickly i was expecting a slightly larger wrist band. Its easy to set up if you are app savvy. Difficult to get it swop between time and activities. Double tap doesnt work on mine. Not happy there no night light to view time in dark.

This is a beautiful looking smart watch and is great for day to day wear. It keeps track of steps and heart rate and can record activities such as yoga. This watch doesn’t work off it’s own gps tracking for running or walking and requires a phone gps signal. It still works fine by connecting to the phone but i would say the garmin vivoactive 3is better for recording runs and walks. I have both of these watches now and i have found the vivomove a great smart watch for day time at work etc and the vivoactive better for recording sport activities.

Really nice looking watch, does exactly what i want it to do. I have really slim wrists so was pleased to find something with a smaller watch face to fit my wrist. Better life better than expected, usually last 4-5 days for me. Great features and the app is easy to use.

This watch was disappointing. It looked fabulous but it kept loosing connectivity to my phone, so i had to return it. I also found the display hard to turn on and the garmin ap was not as useful as the fitbit one.

Cheap looking returned awaiting refund.

This was a present for my wife. All her text messages can be seen by a quick glance at her watch.

I had fitbit before and this is so much more professional looking. Goes well with dresses and does a phenomenal job of activity tracking. Great for swimming as well as simple walking ;).

I’m very happy with the watch. I can read my messages even messenger messages. Bought for my exercise, just don’t have used sleep tracking but overall i am very happy with that watch.

Can’t comment on any of the elements as it was a present for my mum, but she loved the look of it and does use ot to receive her notifications.

I like the fact that the watch has a nice sleek look. Aside to have the fitbit watch but it use to look quite big on my hand and couldn’t wear it to special occasions. Love the fact it has a touch screen feature. I charge mostly 3 to 4 days. Overall i’m quite pleased with the watch and it looks much better as an everyday wear as well as if i go out. Here are the specifications for the Garmin Vivomove 3 Hybrid Smartwatch:

  • Make sure this fits

  • Connects with your compatible smartphone’s GPS for good accuracy during outdoor walk or run activities includes additional activity profiles such as yoga strength cardio and more

Just didnt suit my lifestyle so ordered a different garmin, the 4s and i love it.

Love this watch looks classy and does what it says in the tin.

Bought this for my partner for christmas. Fantastic value and very pretty and delicate.

I have a rather small wrist, but no problem. It tracks movement, it has a lot of preloaded activities. On the other side if you are very interested in sports you may be disappointed by the hr monitoring (aprox 10 bpm of) and the fact that you can’t load training plans from the app to the watch. It says that is not available for hybrid. All in all it’s a very beautiful, fancy smart watch in disguise.

I have been using fitbits for a few years now, so when i saw the garmin vivomove 3s hybrid smartwatch available i couldn’t resist giving it a go to compare the two. To make it easier to read, i will list what i think the positives and negatives are of this watch. -positives-* it looks like a traditional watch but has the features of a smartwatch that we now find it hard to live without* the watch hands tell the time even when the battery is low* it has a digital display that appears when the screen is tapped* the watch tracks a number of things such as sleep, steps, flights of stairs, energy levels, stress levels, oxygen level, hydration levels and heart rate (there’s also the ability to track a menstrual cycle)* when setting a step goal, the watch analyses the number of steps you normally do, and changes your goal accordingly* you can have notifications sent to your phone through bluetooth* pink, rose gold and white are a great colour combination, and i had a compliments immediately on the watch* even though only one strap is provided, the watch strap can fit a number of different wrist sizes* when the watch realises you’re feeling stressed, it offers timed breathing exercises* the watch measures spo2%, which is a premium paid service on fitbit-negatives-* i found the battery life to be a disappointment. I am used to having 5-7 days of battery life, so having to charge the watch every 2-3 days was a bit annoying, especially when i barely used the bluetooth* you’re unable to toggle the type of notifications sent to the watch, its either all or nothing, and to be honest i didn’t really want my junk mail pushed to my phone as a notification* the watch is heavier than other fitness trackers* the stress level measuring was a bit hit and miss, there are more times than most when the watch couldn’t measure my levels as i was too “active” and i ended up taking no notice of it* the garmin connect app isn’t as fun to use as the fitbit app* i found the raise to wake action wasn’t as responsive as i would have liked and i often had to physically tap on the screen for the digital screen to workoverall, i’ve enjoyed using the garmin vivomove smartwatch and it will be hard to go back to a fitbit, especially when i get so many compliments about it. It would make a great present for christmas this year, although its worth keeping an eye out for a deal as it can be out of budget at full price. I have tried to include pictures in my review as i know they’re helpful, although it seems my camera didn’t like the digital display. I hope you found my thoughts helpful :o).

Lovely looking watch, really does combine everything i need in terms of performance tracking and reading messages. The smart screen is very small, so you don’t see much at once, but i don’t find this a problem. Keeps charge well, charging around every 3 to 4 days.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • Looks like a watch

  • Waw

  • A beautiful looking watch for general use

Vodafone V-Kids Watch – Good idea, poor execution

Son loves his new smart watch. Well made, location accuracy not always the best but my iphone xs max is sometimes off too. The general location coupled with voice notification should be enough if we needed to local our son. Worthy purchase if you can buy it on offer like i did. Not to sure it’s worth the full rrp. Setup isn’t straightforward so be prepared to spend sometime setting it up. Once the product is all set up it really is a good piece of kit, it takes little time to go through the process with the vodafone sim but it is worth doing. It is easy to voice message and gives me peace of mind with the sos function built in, the games are a good feature to keep the little one entertained. The gps tracking works well with the vodafone signal and no problems so far. Love this, it’s a brilliant well designed product but the battery life is very disappointing. Esta muy bien, yo se lo he comprado a mis hijos y es casi exactoen la posición aunque podrian mejorar la interface e incluso ...

INIUPO Kids Smartwatch : A++++++

My 6 year old son loves this watch. Charging and adding music is so simple. The battery holds its charge brilliantly for days. The option to add 10 contacts is great as well. The strap is very soft and comfortable to wear. I bought the gifgaf 2g sim card and it works perfectly. Nought for my son and he absolutely like it. The strap is soft and the screen is very clear. Battery life is good but he keeps fiddling with watch so it drains the battery a bit early. Apart from that, happy with the purchase. I bought this watch fory kid for her birthday , she loves this watch it has many attractive features with games in it with music and camera and many more , she’s is much in love this watch predent, it’s colour is very vibrant i highly recomnf it to buy. This is really good watch i brought it for my nephew. He was over the moon and really happy. Many functions on it and can also be used as phone, text message, camera. Shows time in both format digital and analog. Looks really good too a...
