According to our smartwatch expert
The Garmin Vivoactive 3 allows you to work on your fitness effectively and enjoy your favorite music at the same time. You can put songs on the sports watch and control them from your wrist. The Vivoactive 3 has a heart rate monitor and GPS sensor so you have a lot of insight into your workouts. You'll know in exactly which heart rate zone you're training and how long you take to travel a certain distance. The Vivoactive 3 Music keeps track of your steps and calories burned. You also receive and view notifications from your smartphone. You can set personal movement goals and view your progress on your Vivoactive and in the accompanying app.
Note: an adapter isn't included. Want to charge the watch via a socket? Order an adapter separately.

After hesitating between this watch and an Apple Watch, went for this one and absolutely no regrets. Now about a month and a half later and will share my experiences. I'm not a pro with reviews or a sports fan, just an interested user/average athlete who has also benefited a lot from the other reviews. Why this watch and not an Apple Watch? I mainly wanted a sports watch, not an extension for my phone. For me, the options of using spotify without having a phone nearby and the option to train in a zone were the main deal breakers. This watch is really meant for sports. The possibilities are endless. Just like the data that you can view via the app. I am not a diehard athlete. I exercise 3 times a week (running, gym) and walk regularly. Have now also swam with the watch. I don't need the watch but like it. It supports me in my training sessions and by delving into how I should understand all the information from the app, I can train more specifically. Especially after several running workouts, you can compare data and the app provides more and more input about your progress. It is stimulating! This info is also much more extensive than with the Apple Watch. Climbing stairs is a minus. The escalator is also seen as climbing stairs. Also walking up a hill will count the watch as a floor. The battery life is excellent! Of course, if you go for a run with music on, the battery runs out quickly, but I can go without charging for a few days, but I do use the GPS and sports modes. My friend's Apple Watch needs a daily charger! The smartwatch aspect is fine. Notifications and calls come through fine and you can check the weather. But don't expect too much from it. If that's what you want, go for the Apple Watch. Be sure to check out the videos of Gauging Gatgets on YT about this Vivoactive 3 music. These are super handy if you want to see the device in action before purchasing and if you are installing everything. That is still a bit of work. But further updates are done automatically by the watch. Works great with an iPhone, had no problems pairing at all. Spotify also works great! Loading the playlists takes a while, but then you can leave your phone at home when you go for a run. You do need a Spotify premium subscription. The look of the watch also appealed to me. It's not like a clock on your arm. Light and refined enough for the smaller ladies wrist. All in all I am very happy with my choice for this watch!

A really nice watch, reacts quickly, sensors are super accurate, it feels every step of the stairs, automatically jumping to activities is also very nice. And the design is feminine and it also looks great with your normal outfits

I walk a lot with a stroller, or with something in my hands, hence when I walk I don't move my hands much, that's why I adjusted the stride length, and I always walk with GPS, only now I only have about 1200 steps per km, so 0.8 meters per step, even if I move my arms excessively. I always take small steps so I should actually be just over 2000. My friend takes bigger steps, and with him he takes a real stride length. So it's a good product, but it doesn't work well for people who take small steps, even with an adjusted step length.
