When using this feature the watch normally crashes. Has anyone experienced similar issues or have a solution? I just bought and got Garmin Vivoactive 3, I own Garmin fenix 3 for quite a long time, my biggest objection is the inconsistency of the battery life, and what on the official page it says that the battery can withstand xy hours and in the box with instructions it says differently.
All praise for the review. I am a competitive tennis player and perform cross training times a week. I am looking at this watch and the Apple Watch 3 specifically. To track my fitness on the court and doing CrossFit style workouts in the gym, which would you choose? If you want a fitness watch with some smart capabilities, choose Garmin. If you want a smart watch with some fitness capabilities, choose the Apple Watch. But do you know if you plug the charger in and use a battery stick will the watch still track your gps and steps?
Coming from the Polar M, is there any way to set up the data screens in the Connect app or on the website? Also, is there any way to show configured workouts all the time and not just when scheduled? Thanks for the review. I like the long battery life of this one as I plan to run a few ultras this year. How does the Vivoactive 3 compare to the suunto spartan trainer?
Have you done a comparison between them? I have the Vivoactive 3 now for almost 2 weeks, and it seems to me that it counts way too many steps. Has anyone noticed this too? Like in the morning I get up, walk into the bathroom max 10 steps and do my hair, but the watch says i did 76 steps, which I sure did not. So this adds up during the day. I tried a Huawei watch 2, on the same arm, and at the end of the day there is a difference of to steps that the VA3 has counted more then the Huawei.
Steps are always going to be relative. If your normal step count is 10, steps, and then on a day you see 12, you know that you did more on that day. Your reviews are comprehensive and clear way beyond what Garmin offers and after searching online unsuccessfully I am hoping you might help me. I currently have the model. Running workout: 2 miles warmup; then 2 x 2 mi at specified pace with 2 min recovery; 2 mi cooldown.
I want to consider the 2 mi at pace as a lap and not have the total run distance and time as one entity. Which means I can not accurately separate out my miles at pace. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
Do I need to run with my cell phone while running with Garmin Vivoactive 3? Or just run without a cellphone and later synchronize? I basically use endomondo but using the connect and share option I gave access to Garmin to transfer workouts to Endomondo. Hey Anik, you should not need your phone.
Is there still no update in the works for this? And is there perhaps a clear cause that we could try to avoid? Any idea what this is? Picture attached! Hi, thank you for the quick response! I can not pair the TP with the vivoactive. Is there any other way to export training to TP?
