Amazon Renewed Garmin Vivoactive 3 GPS Smartwatch – Many issues

I’ve only had the watch a day or two but so far i’m impressed. My past watches were a more ‘smartwatch that does sport’ focused background and switching to a ‘sports watch that does smart’ i’ve made the right choice. First up, when you set this up it just makes so much sense. Having already got the connect app from my smartband, it just ported all settings over to this. Really easy, it also asks some unexpected but sensible questions during set up. Do you want the button facing away from your hand (really useful if your cycling gloves activate the button)?. Little things that just make sense. There’s also a little stud in the strap that stops the strap retainer from ‘wandering’. The watch itself is not as user friendly as android wear, but after a day or two, i got used to the subtle differences.

All good, just one niggle with the phone connection. When i call somebody on my phone, it vibrates on my wrist, telling me i’m making a call. What idiot decided that was necessary?of course i turned that function off, but had to turn off other functions to do that.

Funciones similares a otros relojes, pero con la ventaja de tener gps. Lo encontré reacondicionado y bien de precio, funciona bien. La pantalla táctil cambia con dificultad cuando, por ejemplo, caben uso un entrenamiento y quieres pasar a reloj.

La unica pega es que el táctil se vuelve loco cuando se moja, lo suyo, es bloquear el dispositivo antes de nadar o ducharse, se aprieta el botón lateral 2 seg.

I wanted a golf watch but i wanted it to be a general purpose smartwatch too and on paper this seemed to do everything i wanted. It looks nice and feels light to wear with a nice strap and its waterproof. The battery life is pretty good, maybe 5 or 6 days, unless you use the gps recording an activity, in which case it will be down to 1 day. Consgarmin golf distances to the flag at my local course did not agree with my playing partner’s devices or the app on my phone; it was usually 10 to 15 yards out. This was a deal breaker for me. Notifications – texts, whatsapp messages etc work but the incoming call notification is exactly the same – 2 short vibrations and a message, so unless you look at every notification as it arrives you miss phone calls. It should keep vibrating until you answer. Although the watch displayed my heart rate the garmin connect app always said ‘no data available’. The same with sleep, stress, vo2max – ‘no data available’. Garmin pay did not work; whenever i tried to add a payment card it gave an error ‘cannot contact server’. So it failed as a golf watch and failed as a smart watch, which didn’t really leave much to love.

I’m not really massive but on my hand look like toys.

Bello esteticamente, ha molte funzioni. Io lo uso per le mie uscite in mountain bike e per monitorare la frequenza cardiaca è affidabile. La batteria non dura quanto promesso in compenso si ricarica velocemente. Un po’ complessa ma una volta capita va benissimo.

Para una persona que realiza deporte de forma esporádica es un reloj 100% recomendable, pero para deportistas se queda bastante corto. Al tener solamente 1 botón dejamos de tener el botón de lap por lo que si estás haciendo series no podrás controlar el tiempo y distancia que has hecho. Otro aspecto que no me ha gustado es que a diferencia de la gama forerunner en este reloj el plan de entrenamiento lo debes diseñar en la aplicación de garmin y después hacerla, por lo que si un día vas a hacer series y no te has acordado de planificar el entrenamiento te quedarás con un mal sabor de boca. La pantalla muy bien, el táctil muy bien, recepción de satélite muy bien, pero en mi caso se queda corto a la hora de entrenar.

La unica pega que le saco es el poco alcance del bluetooth lo demás todo perfecto.

Es un reloj muy cómodo y con precisiónen las mediciones. Tiene un montón de cosas que puedes activar. Lo único que destacaría como ‘negativo’es que el bluetooth es muy sensible y enseguida que el teléfono esta lejos se desconecta rápido.

Decided to upgrade from a foreunner and i’m very pleased with the smart watch. This was a ‘return’ and i can see no fault, i’ve managed to get different straps so i can funk it up a little.

Dispositivo de la marca garmin que te asegura una buena calidad de acabados y un correcto funcionamiento. Buena precisión de gps, que te sitúa con rapidez y graba según lo esperadoel barómetro si dejas 30s que calcule la altitud como dice el manual da resultados coherentes. Tanto la app móvil como el programa para pc funciona bien. La batería tiene una duración de aprox 8h de gps y sobre 4-5 días en modo reloj. Por contra, como la gran mayoría de sensores de fc en muñeca no funciona del todo bien. Si necesitas un dispositivo para grabar tus rutas, running etc, sin pretensiones de ultra maratón etc este es tu reloj.

La bateria no dura los 7 dias anunciados, sino 3. El gps no es muy preciso, pantalla con iluminacion regulera. El pulsometro directamente inusable.

Buena compra, rápido y perfecto.

I had to replace my old one as it had broken. Came quickly and just synced it to my app. I wear this 24/7 except when i shower. I use it at the gym for classes but the main reason for buying it is for stand up paddle boarding. This is better than the last one as when you are training for races you can set a ‘turn around’ distance. When i am exercising i also wear the garmin heart monitor as this tracks your heart rate a lot closer.

L’ho preso convinta da tutte le recensioni buone, e in effetti ha tante qualità:- il display,che per me, che sia allways on ,che si veda bene sempre ,era ed e ancora un must,senza dove ridure la batteria a 1 gg come in pratica a tutti i altri(fitbit,samsung)- il fato che sul display vedi sempre tutte le informazioni non solo , l’ora e basta-la batteria che con il massimo del stress sono arrivata a 3 giorni,e con un uso più moderato a 4|5 gg , e difficile trovare- secondo me il migliore come gps, con calcolo dei passi, scale (quasi tutte)-buono anche in palestra e per attività de tipo corsa e caminatae poi pensavo che per il resto scaricherò le app:- dalle app scaricare due terzi non funzionano fanno vedere il schermo allegato nelle foto-come watch faces non ho trovato chi sa che ( ci sono di più anche per il amazfit bip ️)e più belle- rispondere ai messaggi puoi solo con messaggi preimpostati (non ci sono né emoticons, ne tastiera)-una cosa che mi ha dato davvero fastidio e quanto facilmente si scolegava dal tel, spesso nella stessa stanza in linea d’aria a 2 o 3 m si scolegava gia- poi ci vuole tantissimi tempo per caricare qualsiasi cosa,- per non dire della memoria che con 10 cose hai già riempito-personalmente non l’ho consiglio neanche a chi ha il polso molto piccolo come me,pur essendo molto leggero,e grande e alto,e per niente stondato, cioè se devi usare spesso camice , be ti darà di sicuro fastidiola app e bella e ti da tanti dettagli, anche se avrei inegrato l’assumo delle calorie (senza dove ricorrere ad app diverse)in conclusione se l’ho devi usare solo per l’ho sport , l’ho consiglio davvero, mi sono trovate bene sia con la app, con il battito cardiaco, conteggio dei passi,distanza (anche se non ci tengo alla precisione assoluta,se in 5km sono 10m in più o meno per me va bene l’ho stesso)calcolo delle calorie (a differenza di amazfit e samsung che non vanno tanto bene)però se l’ho dovete prendere per un uso cotidiano, guardate se va bene la grandezza,forma , le limitazioni smartspero di esservi stata di aiuto.

This watch excels at fitness. As a smart watch it’s quite basic. You get notifications which is useful and stops you needing to get your phone out your pocket to read a text or whatsapp message. You get a few widgets which allow you to see the weather and control your music player. It’s no substitute for android wear, galaxy or apple watch which lets you use the watch like a phone. Does enough for me and instead of 1 day battery life you get 7 days. And it works reliably unlike android wear that i’ve always found buggy. As a fitness watch it’s simply brilliant. Can monitor my heart rate during runs, set up interval runs, there’s different modes for different sports and when you sync to your phone you get lots of detail about your workout. It has it’s own gps which usually locks on in about 30 seconds. There’s a few watch faces (not nearly enough) that can be customised a bit or you can download more from connect iq store. These offer more features including a notification count, continuous heart rate monitoring and more. I’m impressed that constant heart rate monitoring seems to have hardly any effect on the battery unlike my android wear device for which i would flatten it in 60 minutes. This lost 0 percent after an hour of constant monitoring.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • Excellent fitness smart watch

  • Loving It!!!

  • Many issues

Pensaba que la definicion era de mejor calidad, pero por lo demás, genial. Buena calidad-precio y muy elegante para ser un reloj deportivo, para llevar en cualquier ocasión.

I’ve owned garmin watches in the past and my last was the vevo active hr now although a good watch it wasn’t very accurate. I purchased the vivoactive 3 as i spent a lot of time reading reviews about the 3 3 music 4 and the 4s. So i settled on the 3 and i haven’t been disappointed it even controls your phone’s music so i’m more than happy. Heart rate is super accurate and so are the steps. The data on the app is clear and easy to understand. So whats the difference between the 3 and 3 music so far 3 music has the ability to download and store music tracks but seeing how i always have my phone with me seems pointless. The 4 and 4s are a little better but not enough to justify the price difference two sizes of watch faces and two nav buttons to save using the touch screen. Would i recommend the vivoactive 3 hell yes.

Done a lot of research on which fitness watch to get and i’ve made a great choice with this watch, good price and lots of fun. Golf tracking and fitness all rolled into one.

Amazing product for everyone who loves sports, activity life.

Bonjour, voici un retour utilisateur sur ma garmin va3. Elle succede à un bracelet xiaomi pro 2 , le look est plus sympa mais les fonctionnalités sont très proches. En matière de sommeil le bracelet à 40 euros est largement supérieur, il détecte le moindre assoupissement, celui du dimanche 14h00 sur le canapé. En terme de sport les résultats sont très similaires, les deux gps offrent les mêmes résultats. Le xiaomi en revanche est illisible sous le soleil, c’est son point faible. Les informations pendant l’activité doivent être selectionnées une par une, au travers du menu déroulant. La garmin va3 dispose d’un écran parfaitement lisible quelquesoient les conditions de luminosité. On peut choir les informations sur l’écran, jusqu’a 04 données au choix. La garmin peut se connecter avec des capteurs externes pour agrandir sont champ d’action, c’est un avantage, mais il faut 150 euros de plus.

Qualche problema di connessione, che ho riscontrato con tutti i dispositivi garmin, soprattutto col computer. Istruzioni fornite con l oggetto inesistenti, quelle su internet mi sembrano poco chiare. Viene indicato di connettersi ad un sito www. Premetto che non ho avuto altri prodotti simili prima ed e’ da pochissimo che uso prodotti garmin (in compenso nel giro di 1 mese ho comprato edge530, vivoactive3, smart index scale e chiavetta ant) ma trovo difficile se non impossibile capire che modalita’ di connessione (ant+, wireless, ble) sia utilizzata, ed evenutalmente selezionare quella desiderata. Troppi menu, troppe possibilita’ di accedere agli stessi menu da posizioni diverse, che rendono difficile capire e ricordare il percorso che si e’ fatto per arrivare ad una certa configurazione. Alcuni programmi di attivita’ sono secondo me poco usufruibili.

En la piscina sólo se ha equivocado en un largo de 350 qué he nadado en toda la semana. La pantalla no será como la de otros smartwatch, pero cómo reloj deportivo con funciones de smartwatch y look discreto, creo que es perfecto.

Brilliant watch and all round trackercant fault it.

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

Vannico Kids Smart Watch Tracker Watch : Fabulously

I bought this for christmas present and i’m so happy that is really useful for everyday and less worries when we’re going out sometimes she running around and this is very helpful and easy to find her becuase it’s watch i’m not worried she’s gonna lose it the app is easy to find and set up and accurate every time. Got this for my son as we didn’t really know what to get him for christmas. It was super easy to set up and has been keeping our son more engaged in checking the time (i think the fact that it’s more than just a watch led to that enthusiasm). I got this for my niece and nephew and i saw blue and pink ones as an christmas gift they loves it. Very easy to set up and use and comes with many features. She particularly loves the camera and her mum loves it because she fells more safety, comfortable to wear and looks so high quality. Cool watch very easy to use no complicated menu or anything like that has all functions requiered for device like that ( but not stuffed with usele
