Questions & Answers

Are you able to measure your blood pressure with it?

The answer is no.

Does the watch have an HR sensor at the bottom?

I have to say that it's quite accurate as well, because when I ride my bike with my HR strap there is a small variance between the watch and the strap, but the overall result is pretty accurate there's nothing to worry about.

Is it possible to enter coordinates on this watch to use it as a GPS?

To do that, it will require downloading an app. I have yet to find a really good one.

An unfortunate entry in the Vivoactive line
3/5

I had been using my Vivoactive HR for nearly two and a half years and it was supposed to replace it. It was an ideal gps wearable for me as a runner, it did not have too many features just what I needed. It was my hope that the vivoactive 3 would live up to my hopes. In comparison with the HR, it feels a lot more light than it should. A cheap plastic material is used in it The feel of it is good. There is also a much thinner band. It feels much more intuitive than the HR in terms of how the vivoactive 3 operates. My quest to find the function I wanted/needed required me to scroll through more screens than I expected. My sleeve was sufficiently sensitive to scroll through the menus by brushing it against the touch screen. For this reason, I had to lock the screen to prevent this, so that quick access to watch functions was not possible, since I had to unlock the watch before I could use it (including seeing Additionally, I was very disappointed in the battery life as I expected my HR to last a week or more on one charge, even with GPS enabled. The Vivoactive 3 once a week involves runs. A 12 mile run consumes about 25% of the battery. As a result, I was concerned that a full marathon (especially if I turned on Garmin Live Track) might be made. One night before I went to bed, the watch was charged to 93%, but when I awoke the next morning, it was down to 40% Sleeping will do it for you. My final decision was to return it since something inside seemed loose to me Every time the watch vibrated I also heard a loud and random rattling inside it that didn't belong. With this particular Garmin, I don't feel the price at all (not even the starting price). If it's discounted, the price should be higher than After much consideration, I decided to pay a bit more and get the Fenix 5. I am very pleased.

This thing is brand new after being refurbished! It is without a doubt my experience with Tech-Friendly would receive a five-star rating It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Boutique
5/5

A technology-centric business A Garmin authorized dealer, Boutique is an expert in the field. All the components of the watch were securely wrapped and the manual and quick start guide were included in a Garmin "refurbished unit" package. Additionally, tech-related issues must be addressed I like the way boutique sent me their own troubleshooting card! The watch is beautiful, there's not a scratch, dent, or imperfection to be seen Although I am not entirely convinced this is a new unit, I am continuing to doubt it. lasts for over 3 days without a charge (I go 3+ days without a charge and use the phone a lot), and it charges the Connect app have an intuitive interface, the style is minimal but not boring, and the accuracy is top notch This is top-notch. It is highly recommended that you shop Vivoactive 3 is a great product at a great store! I highly recommend it!.

The watch is great, but the touchscreen and UI are slow
5/5

The watch is great! Unlike water resistance, waterPROOF means that it is not affected by water. Despite its claims, the battery life was not as long as advertised, I got three days with lift-off With the backlight set to ten percent, the brightness is at a short level. Memory pixel LCD is a crisp and bright display, which can be read in all types of lighting conditions, including sunlight. With a 10 percent backlight, it is as easy to read as tuna steaks, without searing your retinas. There is a lot of garbage on Connect App, but overall it is a fairly good app. It is best to stick to what you really want and need, as you only get (I think) 13 app slots, and out of curiosity, there are no watch faces included. It's spot on as far as fitness tracking is concerned. From a company known for GPS and metrics, this was to be expected. The HR for hospital BP cuffs matches exactly what cuffs measure for that hospital (please don't ask me how I know this, it's In my experience, the biggest con is that sometimes the UI/Touchscreen is extremely slow to respond, resulting in the user having to enter input twice, or none When it comes to apps that do not use gestures but have XY input, I have the most trouble The fact is that swiping the screen is faster and more efficient than tapping an on-screen I give it an overall rating of I would give it five stars, but perhaps an update could resolve the responsiveness issue, making it a solid four stars. The battery life is rated as 3 days, but it could be upgraded to 7 days. A perfect five. The final straw to making it the perfect watch would be onboard music storage and Bluetooth playback. I found the Vivofit3 Music in the online marketplace, but it didn't appear to be readily available for a reasonable price (even close to The watch is great, but it has a few.

The new generation is not an improvement over the previous generation
4/5

There was no need for this at all. Based on my experience with the last generation, there are only two There are two pros and two cons
1) the watch face is round as it should have been initially, and 2) there are five additional emojis used on the face.

Cons include It's a much more clumsy interface now, and there are no themes or apps to choose from

They took away the marketplace, so there's no real additional functionality other than the watching.

This is an extremely poor quality video
3/5

After the first day, the program stopped working properly. It is 5 months old. This is an extremely poor quality video. When I realized that this watch was not "renewed" as I thought it to be an original, but just a new design, I was surprised. My first realization when I received the box was that it was in fact a refurbished unit. There is no mention of refurbished in the add, but instead of refurbished, it says re-built, which is not true Taking the lead. Nevertheless, I still wanted to give it a try and trusted it would be good. I am however concerned with the following In the next five months, the unit stopped working, disconnected, and got crazy vibrating This is it. And now, it has stopped working after 3 months. I was very disappointed as it will turn on randomly and doesn't connect to mobile devices. It is a scam and I'm very disappointed. THIS IS A POOR PRODUCT! DO NOT BUY IT! If paying a bit more is the only option, it is much better to get an original one.

This is a great buy for the money
5/5

is a refurbished model but I did not hesitate to purchase it because of the price. It has been a great addition to my watch collection, as I like to track my heart rate while wearing a watch that looks great, and it's not disappointing. I love how easy it was to set up and how well it works I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a beautiful watch with active
On a side It takes about 3 days to charge on average I am very satisfied with the comfort. It has been tough on my watches since I am rough on them, and there have been no blemishes as yet.

The watch is great for keeping fit
5/5

The battery life on this watch is great. I were charging my Samsung Galaxy watch every night, and I charge this one every four days The deadline is fast approaching! It's the right size for me and I am a female. The RoadID fits properly, doesn't slip, and doesn't damage my clothes. I've been using it for a month and have been very happy with it!.
