Honestly great watch
You're probably wondering why I put up a picture of my wrist. Let me explain.Picked this up earlier in the month since my company is doing a mental health awareness event. Part of which is also physical health. So needed a tracker.I've tried a health tracker in the past, with the Samsung Fit line. I've also tried to wear watches in the past and with both I've been hit with contact dermatitis (Samsung) due to the plastic used in the body of the watch, and nickle allergy responses for watches.I was aware this might be an issue going into the Garmin, but wanted to try it anyways.Lo and behold, I did react to the band which you can see in the images above. But if you notice, there's a giant gap between the ends of the band.I didn't react to the watch itself! I finally have a watch I can wear without reacting, and just need a replacement strap.Garmin, I don't know what you did different from so many other groups, but thank you!Now for the watch itself, it's decent. It has a little trouble on stairs, but so do I, so I can't judge that too harshly. Tracking on my walks is fantastic, and I've already seen weight loss from the increase in walking and reduced calorie and carb intake from the dietary tracking it helps with.Watch life is a little shorter than I'd like but that kind of helped stave off the dermatitis for a longer than usual period, so happy little accident.Overall I'm stoked I decided to try this and if it ever dies I'll consider a Garmin for my next tracker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent watch for those looking for a smartwatch that doesn't waste unnecessary features
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021
Obligatory disclosure: I had to order a replacement unit. The first one did not connect well to any phone, and was losing the bluetooth pairing every minute.

About the watch, it's amazing. Fast, simple, and useful.

The battery on these renewed units will last between 3 and 4 days with light use, far from the week advertised by Garmin but more than enough.

The screen isn't very pretty, but that's the cost of having an "always on display" that doesn't force you to charge the device every night. If a gorgeous, bright screen like a Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch is your thing, then you're currently looking at the wrong watch. At least for me, I prefer it like this one.

The GPS accuracy isn't perfect, but it's accurate to the street level you're walking down. Maybe you get the wrong sidewalk, but at least for me it's not a problem.

Contactless payment is amazing (as long as your bank supports it).

9/10 watch. If I needed another one I would buy another one, but I liked this one so much that my next one will probably be something from the Fenix line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still figuring it out, original watch band is totally meh
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021
I looked at 30+ watches looking for something perfect for the next 5 years, coming from a Vivoactive HR that has been stellar. They have nice tracking stats in the Garmin IQ app. And a whole bunch of of watch faces and apps in the Connect IQ app.

After looking at smart watches in the $250-$350 price range, I kept coming back to this one, because charging my watch every day = not appealing at all. Took the leap, glad I did. Still figuring out the various apps, settings, etc. Navigation is much easier on the Vivoactive 3 compared to the HR. I did slightly increase the backlight percent, and the watch gets me about 4 days. I'm losing about 20-22% per day battery charge. Similar usage, my HR lost 15% per day and I would recharge every 5th day.

One thing I was not at all crazy about, the watch band. Ordered a Notocity brand replacement, makes a big difference. Feels more premium compared. And with this new-to-me clip system for the watch band install, it was quite easy to swap out for an aftermarket watch band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great basic smartwatch / Activity tracker
Reviewed in Canada on December 31, 2020
I've been really happy with this watch overall. The main use for me is activity tracking, call / text notification when I can't get to my phone, and distances for golfing. Yardage numbers seem pretty accurate and no 3rd party app to install. Garmin has thousands of courses mapped. Battery life is about 4 days when not golfing, maybe 1.5 days with a round of golf. That is not bad compared to some watches, but much worse than the VivoActive HR that I had before that got 7 or more days to a charge. The VivoActive 3 does charge very fast (under an hour) and has customizable faces and lots of pre-loaded activity apps.
Watch seems to be well built, light (likely all plastic), and a comfortable band.
The display is not the best, and color quality is a little disappointing, but for my use its not an issue. For the refurb price on Amazon I just could not beat it and I'm very happy with the value for this watch.
