Overall, the Vivoactive 3 is a very solid and fitness-focused watch. It's likely the iteration that many folks have been waiting for in terms of a more stylish unit than the Vivoactive HR was in the last version, and more functional than the super-slim or...

This is a really solid device – Great design, well thought through, exceptionally well engineered and links into the already existing Garmin ecosystem. It's comfortable enough to wear all day (and night for the sleep tracking) without causing any discomfo...
"It looks good, isn't a wrist-dominator, outlasts just about all normal smartwatches and gets you tracking similar to a Fenix 5 at almost half the price."...

Long battery life, Easy to use touch interface, Good daily and aerobic heart rate tracking, Comprehensive stats in Garmin app, Smart notifications with calendar
Heart rate tracking confused by intervals, Inaccurate sleep tracking, Garmin app UI is a maze
Élégante, Bonne autonomie, Personnalisable, Très complète
Navigation et paramétrage des menus pas toujours évident, Prix justifié mais néanmoins élevé
La Vívoactive 3 de Garmin se révèle une montre élégante et très fonctionnelle. De bonne facture, et produit déjà premium, avec ses 299,99 € affichés, elle se montre tout aussi complète sur le plan des fonctionnalités que la Fitbit Ionic, se positionnant s...

Capteur cardio intégré au poignet pas toujours efficace, Peu d'assistance pour les débutants qui veulent être accompagnés, Bracelet trop juste pour les gros poignets (pour porter la montre par-dessus un vêtement l'hiver), Pas d'agrandissement de la cartog
Connectée et tactile, la Vivoactive 3 n'est cependant pas une montre comparable à celles qui fonctionnent sous Android Wear ou aux Apple Watch Series 3 et Series 2 tant ses fonctions en la matière et son écran sont limités. C'est en revanche une bonne mon...
