i tried to download the app from my play store but i cant find it :/
They did partner with Spotify
Sorry I had to dislike the video as the heading is misleading
Battery life?
Garmin’s music system is a pain though
Is it normal for the Garmin vivoactive 3 music to have a line go across the screen or a random burst of pixels right before the triangle pops up when restarting the watch? It seems to operate completely fine, just want to know if this is normal or a potential issue down the road?
topical iphone lover
Super helpful! I had my mind made up to go away from Garmin but I’m sticking with what I know and love. Thanks! Also downloading your app now!
ALDI HAS SMARTWATCHs FOR $39
I went from a fitbit to the vivoactive 3 music. Seems like my Fitbit had a better color screen. This vivoactive doesnt have the brightness has the fitbit.
Thanks for the review. My vivoactive 3 music just arrived and I got screen protectors as a result of your review. It is very light weight, made of plastic and just seems cheaply built, maybe it will last, but I am worried about the durability compared to apple…we’ll see. Lastly, so far the wrist HR monitor has not impressed. I’ve tried wearing it on several different aspects of my wrist and it has been off by as much as 40bpm’s when I am vigorously exercising. Can sweat affect the HR monitor that much? I hope not…
I was pleased to see how easy it was to transfer music on to the vivoactive. Most my music was on iTunes and I was surprised how seamless it was to load music from iTunes on to the watch. Apple usually does not play nice with other tech. To early to tell, but i’m Hoping I don’t regret getting the vivoactive 3 music over the apple series 3.
Are you going to do a Vivoactive 3 vs the Apple Watch Series 4?
What headphones is everyone using to pair with the vivoactive? I'm having the hardest time with the jlab epic elites. Track keeps skipping.
hi there, does Vivoactive 3 music have voice prompts during workout? like can it update my via my headphone for every 1km i finish with time, and pacing information etc?
I got the normal Garmin Vivoactive 3.
I prefer Garmin.
I am a downhill racer (moutain biking), I cannot wear earpods/earphones while wearing my full face helmet, so I don't care about music.
I prefer Garmin because the GPS is way better then Apple Watch. Also it is more accurate in timing, cadence etc.
Apple is for casual people…
Yo rizknows!
You must do a compertion between the fr 645 music wich he more durable and was the first device with the music feature, and between the vivoactive 3 music, wich he's newer has a tuchscreen less expensive with the new charge cable but less durable as we saw in the last previous chapters.
thanks Y'all
peace!
Anyone else having trouble with the barometric and getting steps
Which would you all recommend for a lady?
How were you using the watch to get up to 2 days battery life, what features did you have enabled/disabled? Apple advertises as 18 hours, so to see 2 days makes me curious (not at all being skeptics, just trying to better understand the product before I buy it.)
I got my Apple watch for $230 new so for the price Apple watch all they way
This is such a great truthfully review. I had aimed for the vivo music. How Nicely you had pointed out the crack screen~! Now I would not consider this model anymore. I had quite a lot of knocks and bumps with my Fenix 3. The screen so robust and doesn't leave any obvious lines after years of usage. Thanks Riz!
vivoactive is a sportwatch with smart functions
apple watch is a smartwatch with a sport functions
You can never go wrong with Garmin. Thanks for the comparison though.
Can u make acomparison about sleeptracking on garmin and apple and also fitbit .nobody has made these sleep tracking comparisons i believe its the most searched title
Yucky guy at the start of video
Garmin because Apple is a scam and will never get a dime from me!
Just bought an Apple watch will get here Friday. hope I have done the right thing. so much money but my 3rd Fitbit failed syncing.
Just picked up the Vivoactive 3 music for $229 on eBay, brand new box with scuffs. Couldn’t believe it, as the regular sale is still $299. The non music version is on sale on amazon for $229 right now, but I’ll take a scuffed up box for the music version all day!!
Garmin should partner with Spotify, when that happens they're going to own the world of smart watches, GPS devices and so.
With the Apple watch 4 probably coming this fall (september) is it a good time to buy the garmin or maybe wait a few months and see what the Apple Watch 4 is all about?
I'm fully entrenched in the Apple ecosystem but just can't get over the Apple Watch looks. I want my GPS HR fitness watch to look sporty and I feel the Apple falls down face first here. All personal preference. I'll take the Garmin.
Hi Rizknows. If reliability is my concern should i get the vivoactive 3 music or the vivoactive 3? Or should i opt for forerunner 235 instead if im a runner? I love the touch display honestly. Please advise.
Like that Garmin is trying new designs but why couldn't they have squeezed the Vivoactive 3 Music into the 935 case. That watch is one of their better designs! 2nd, if they could get their screen to look as bright and sharp as the Fitbit Versa, Apple Watch or Samsung S3 they might get a lot more buyers to consider them for an everyday wear instead of as an exercise watch.
Any idea when they will be adding music to the fenix 3 series?
Riz, you said the Vivoactive 3M was fragile, was it only the first one you had or in general fragile, if General, is there any screen protector or 3D tempered glass for the 3M?
Apple Watch 3 all the way!! Awesome fitness tracker and compatibility with other devices
Garmin all the way. Not of fan of the square faces.
The Apple Watch because it just works better with an iPhone
How's the heart rate monitor on the Apple? I always wear Garmin for workouts. Been a Garmin fan for years but I like my iPhone too.
