vivosmart 3

Subtle, Stylish and Smart

Your sense of style is uniquely you. Let vívosmart 3 complement that style without trying to overshadow it. Featuring a slim, inconspicuous band, vívosmart 3 is as hip as anything in your closet. Even better, it’s a master of subtlety. The tracker’s hidden display is only visible when you want it to be. When you’re not using it, it disappears into the device. It’s the perfect companion for the office, the gym, the pool and everywhere in between.

Daily Fitness Monitoring

Thanks to Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology¹, vívosmart 3 activity tracker is full of great features that let you get a better idea of your current fitness level. For example, it’s our first dedicated activity tracker to offer VO2 max estimate. It can even estimate your fitness age, which you may be able to decrease over time with hard work and regular exercise.

Wellness Monitoring

vívosmart 3 tracks heart rate variability (HRV), which is used to calculate and display your stress level. You can look at this graph right on your device anytime you’re sitting or at rest. When the level starts to move up, it indicates that your stress is getting higher. What causes this? Any number of physical or emotional external sources. vívosmart 3 helps you recognize when this is happening so you can find a way to relieve the stress.

Your Personal Rep Counter

Gym rats, rejoice. We’re adding a companion to your workout — or more specifically, a companion that’s great at keeping count. When you start a strength training activity on vívosmart 3, the device will capture your exercises, reps and sets along with your work and rest times so you can leave the notebook at home. That data gets pushed to Garmin Connect during your next sync so you can review your workout in even greater detail.

Smart Notifications and Smarter Features

To help keep up with your busy lifestyle, you can view emails, text messages and social network notifications right on your wrist. Other features that help you stay linked with life include automatic uploads to Garmin Connect and compatibility with TrueUp, which lets you synchronize multiple activity trackers. The ability to find your phone and music controls are also available right at the wrist.

User questions & answers

Question:	how does the alarm clock work, sound or vibration
Answer:	Just a quiet, short sequence of beeps. No vib alarm.
Question:	Is the vivofit 4 that bad? i have a vivofit 3 and its great, but i think i'll skip this version
Answer:	I moved up from a vivofit 2 to the 4. The display is much smaller than I am used to, but it does show more information with the different screens. I was disappointed that you can no longer sync directly with the computer, only with the phone. I do like that it still has the one year battery.
Question:	Does the watch show the date of month
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	What happens when the battery finally dies? Recharge, replace or the device is done? Thx
Answer:	My first one was an earlier model and each battery lasts about 14 months. Take it to a watch shop to ensure the battery is replaced and it is still water resistant. After almost 2-3/4 years the display finally died. I kept wearing it with no display (it still syncs data to the app). Now that it is time for a new battery I am getting the newer model.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it monitor sleep? Can you see a report on an android phone
Answer:	You have to tell the watch your normal sleep hours. The watch will assume you are asleep during these hours, and that steps taken are something like a bathroom break. The answers that say the Garmin detects them asleep even though they are shaving have obviously lied about their sleeping hours. Just set your sleep hours to a minimum. Say you go to bed between 10 pm and 12 pm, and rise between 5 am and 10 am. Set your sleep hours from 12 pm to 5 am. If you get out of bed during these hours, Garmin will count it as sleepwalking. If you are motionless before or after these hours, Garmin will count the inactivity as part of your sleep.
Question:	is hr displayed continiously
Answer:	The HR is being monitored continuously. It an be accessed in 1 of 2 ways. You can swipe the bar until you get to the HR display or set it as the default screen; otherwise, the default screen is the Time display. You can change the settings online through the Garmin Connect (online or the app).
Question:	Is this waterproof? Able to be worn in the shower
Answer:	From the Garmin manual, it is water-resistant to 50 meters, about 150 feet deep. So yes, you can wear it in the shower.
Question:	does the gps work continuously or only when in an exercise mode
Answer:	ONLY when you choose activity | (choose one) | answer "outside" gps.

vívosmart HR+

Turn your steps into strides with vívosmart HR+, the GPS activity tracker with Elevate wrist heart rate technology. Not only does it count steps, calories, floors climbed and intensity minutes, it uses GPS satellites to track how far and how fast you go during almost any activity — from running to rollerblading. Also includes a move bar that gives you a vibrating reminder to get up and move when you've been inactive for too long. Stay connected with smart notifications that include email, text, call, social media, calendar alerts and more, right on your wrist.

Activity Tracking with GPS

vívosmart HR+ is different from our other activity trackers — not because it lacks any of their features, but because of what it includes that they don't. Having a device that uses built-in GPS to monitor your activity makes for more accurate data. vívosmart HR+ quickly acquires satellite signals to track you during your favorite activity or workout, giving you precise data about how far you traveled, how fast and where — even under tree cover.

Garmin Connect

vívosmart HR+ automatically syncs with your smartphone throughout the day to save your stats to our free online community. Simply download Garmin Connect Mobile to your phone or log on to Garmin Connect via your desktop, where you can save, plan and share your activity and beat yesterday in your daily step count. Connect with other users to challenge and compete. For detailed calorie tracking, you can create an account at MyFitnessPal and link it to your Garmin Connect account. This allows you to compare calories consumed to total calories burned, which vívosmart HR+ records throughout the day.
