They are a long-time contender in the general GPS market. Garmin has come a long way in terms of the ease of use of their products. This contender is an excellent choice for both daily use and specific event tracking. It is not comprehensive, but it omits very little from the full-service products. The VivoActive is not a top of the line product, nor is it a bargain. It is a basic smartwatch, with simple GPS recording attributes, and it also works like an activity monitor to track daily steps and sleep patterns. The Garmin VivoActive melds the basic versions of three different devices into a package that should have wide appeal but doesn't score highly in any one category. For an extra $30, you can get a version of the watch that holds and plays up to 500 songs. New Features - The Vivoactive 3 comes with a whole host of new features not included on the original watch, such as a compass, barometric altimeter, gyroscope, and thermometer, to name a few. Garmin Pay - You can now load payment options such as debit and credit card numbers onto the watch so that you can make purchases without carrying your wallet along.
