Meet the Garmin vivoactive 3 GPS Watch – Review Coming Soon. Big news today as Garmin announced the Garmin vivoactive 3 GPS sportwatch. This will be Garmin’s mid-range GPS watch that will compete with the Fitbit Ionic Smartwatch. It’s got an attractive design with full-color display + it’s fully waterproof. The new vivoactive 3 also has all the standard activity and sleep tracking features + sport tracking as well as smart features. There’s also the new Garmin Pay for mobile payments. The new Garmin watch also has an ambidextrous design for right or left wrist. Finally, this new GPS Multisport watch also has increased training features + VO2 max estimates. On the downside, it’s expensive, it doesn’t have native music storage and there is limited app support in Connect IQ. Overall, the vivoactive 3 is a solid GPS watch, especially for runners. There might be a chance it makes the list for Best GPS Watch 2019 or Best GPS Sportwatch 2019. Hope you enjoyed the video.

Hi, need some advice. You mention that this watch is not good for weight lifting or CrossFit. Which one would you recommend? Preferably without a multitude of buttons, would prefer touchscreen. And local storage for music. Does anything like this exist? ?
Can I set separate indoor/outdoor bike profiles?
Ok so it's not good for cross training or weight training? Even if I wear an external? Can I reply to text messages and do u get full notifications? Like calendar & email?
Are you able to set up a new profile for open water swimming even if it's not perfect? Would that do the job?
How's the backlight? Hopefully much better than its predecessor. I couldn't read the display indoors. Hoping this one fixes that.
Does it do ANT as well as Bluetooth?
I think this week they start selling it! Hopefully we see your review soon! ??
Message to Garmin: real athletes listen to music while training. Lack of on board storage is deal breaker.
Gotta wait for vivoactive 3 vs vivomove HR
We need a Fitbit Iconic vs Garmin Vivoactive 3 video!
Can you turn the GPS off?
Love the way this VA3 looks – can’t wait to get the darkened bezel version. My Garmin journey has gone like this:
(After <many> years of using Polar, gave Garmin a try about 3 years ago)
1. Started with the original VivoActive – the square one. Nice enough. Wanted something more robust for my running & biking, with more data.
2. Then went to the Forerunner 230 about 18 months ago (this was <right> before they launched the various devices with internal HR). Using it now – like it well enough.
So I’d been thinking about the Fenix line, maybe the 3, etc. And now this new VivoActive 3 really has my attention. Looks to me like the VA3 fills every need I have (I have no need for internal music storage – but hey that’s just me).
Can’t wait to get this new one.
Wow 300 dollars wow I like it you can all most do everything with it
When is it comming out?
Why only water rating for pool swiming and not open water? What is the different?
Does this site clevertraining is reliable?
Does it still have golf?
What is in your opinion the best watch for crossfit training?
always felt the fenix's are a bit heavy. though, I do wish i could get a sapphire screen for this.. wonder how it compares to a 935xt
Will the garmin pay and customisable strength training workouts be available on the fenix 5 in the near future?
I own Vivoactive hr will I buy another Garmin product ever again? HELL NO. It was the waste of $199.00.
Hate the round face. I will keep my Vivoactive HR, but I do need the stress testing. So, going on my other wrist. Smiles.
Hi, which watch are you wearing?
Usually I don't comment in none of this. However I like Jeff videos and content he provides. Now to Garmin they missed the train here with the Vivo Active 3. Apple has internal storage, Fitbit also internal storage so why does Garmin doesn't? From a consumer perspective paying a 100 dollars more for and Apple Watch is worth it. Having said I do love Garmin I have the Vivo Active 1 and Fénix 3 hr. Very good products, however as a gift I receive the Apple Watch and mostly I am more incline to use them on a daily bases more than the Garmin. I now use Garmin for long runs and that's it. If apple can get more out of the battery commercially they will suffer since people are more inclined to use what they now. If Garmin wants to really get back in the game they need to take bigger leaps and less incremental improvements. My 2 cents!!!
Great video as always. It's a shame there's no music streaming but it's nice they have given some of the Forerunner stats to the vivoactive. I think I'll make the move over to vivoactive now due to that but first I need to know if it's a glass screen? I think for this price point it's ridiculous not to have a glass screen. I have scratched the screens on my last couple of forerunners which is pretty annoying when you consider the UK price of my forerunner 235 was 350 US dollars… Rip off Britain :/
Stoked on this Vivoactive. Finally a design I can live with daily. My dad is stoked on the new Vivomove HR. Classy (for the type of product)
We'll see in a few months how it stacks against the fitbit ionic, but it seems ahead.
Why do you say it's not good for crossfitters? From what I've seen is the best watch for crossfitters on the market, appart from the fenix 5.
Thanks for your input
Fitbit ionic vs Vivoactive 3 this will be greate comparision.
Would be a no brainer if it tracked open water swimming. Price too close to Apple Watch that tracks both pool and open water workouts. The main thing it has going for it over Apple is the battery life – my opinion of course
@rizknows I am having dilemma between fenix 3 hr or vivoactive 3 . Pls help me make a decision..!!?
Another solid video!! I own an Apple Watch series 2, and have wanted a Garmin for awhile. I think at this price point it's worth a try.
Also, how can we get our hands on a @Rizknows tshirt?
You mentioned that this will work with Windows 10 Phones. But the Garmin site does not say. Can you conform this? As I have a Windows Phone this is a must know. Thank you!
will it be possible to connect a chest strap HR monitor with it?
Like my comment if you are a Fenix 5 fan!
Hey Mr. Rizzo, I was just wondering if the swimming features were worse, as good as, or better than the swimming features on the vivoactive hr. Same with running and cycling. Thanks!?
I got the 735xt for aprox $200 so I'm happy. Missing the "floor climbed" tough, but it's okey. Do you know how to customize the "my day" in the app. I want to change the floor guy with something useful if it's even possible…
For 100$ you can buy the Xiaomi Amazfit Pace, and get the music, yes there are not so may sports supported, but they are adding and updating it continuously.
Really confused is this basically Garmin 235 with a more colorful screen. I did not hear a single unique feature. I love my 235 and When the 235 added music control for Android it made it a keeper. I'll stick with it until I can sync offline playlists from spotify and leave the phone at home or in the car for a run.
