I bought this watch about 3 months ago and it has definitely served me well. While it is waterproof for a good while and has a years battery life the lock seems to be a bit faulty. Sometimes it just falls off you suddenly.

very easy to set up and keep track of my step

the clip on wrist band can be better designed

The original Garmin Vivofit was the company's first attempt at creating a fitness tracker and although it wasn't a bad device it didn't stand out in any way. The Garmin Vivofit 2 was more of an update than a new product – a Vivofit 1.5 if you will – and addressed some of the core issues with the...

A great product. I wear mine 24/7. Then once a week I review my stats. Does everything I bought it for.

Low on style and a little low on substance, but year-long battery life and a highly customizable interface make the Garmin Vivofit 3 a good low-maintenance tracker.

Super-long battery life; Always-on display; Functions as a watch

Software not as fun as Fitbit/Jawbone; No phone notifications; Not as pretty as alternatives

The most attractive features of the vivofit 3 are its extremely long battery life and reasonable price tag. Check out our full review above for more information.

Reasonable price; Tracks all day activity and sleep; Audible move alerts; Customizable bands; Water resistant down to 50 meters

Move IQ limited to certain sports; Spotty data on certain activities; No alarms; No smart features

Every since I've had this tracker I still have not been able to get it to sync. I'm tired to trying so I will return. If it will not sync there is no use to have it.

Works okay and sits comfortably on the wrist, but lack the heart rate monitor.

The Garmin Vivofit 3 is a sub-$100 fitness tracker that's hoping to lure in the same prospective owners that'll also be casting an eye over the Fitbit Alta , the Misfit Ray and the Jawbone UP2 .

Year of battery life; Motivating auto goal mode; Accurate data

Lacklustre design; Small screen; Cluttered Garmin Connect app

Garmin has given the original Vivofit a makeover. The screen on the Vivofit 3 has been shrunken down to a tiny square you can pop into other bands for a brand new look. It also adds a new Intensity Minutes metric and includes automatic activity detection for bicycling, running, swimming, and walking. Despite these changes, the Vivofit 3 is still a rather basic fitness tracker that records activity, calories, distance, sleep, and not much else. It's a decent tracker, but for just a bit more, we prefer the Fitbit Alta and the Fitbit Charge HR. Design and DisplayGarmin is going for a more fashionable aesthetic here, one that you can match with most of your wardrobe. But unlike the Fitbit Alta or the Misfit Ray, the Vivofit 3 just looks a bit cheap. The band is made of rubber with a tire tread-like pattern that isn't terribly fashionable. Available in black, camo, or white, the tracker comes in two sizes: Regular (for wrists 5.4 to 7.7 inches in circumference) and X-large (6.5 to 8.9...

Garmin's Vivofit 3 does a fine job monitoring basic activities, but there are better fitness trackers out there for the price.

Comfortable; Tracks calories, distance, intensity, sleep, and steps; Waterproof; Long battery life

Cheap-looking design; Small, dim screen; Slow to automatically register activity; Doesn't count stairs climbed; Drab and cluttered app
