well nothing is guaranteed in life except for a few things like death taxes Marvel superhero movies cliche intros and smartwatches / fitness trackers and the majority of these fitness trackers are coming from Garmin and today we've got the vivosmart 3 for review we're going to find out what's new is a good the bad and should you shell out the cash for the garmin vivosmart 3 the vivosmart 3 currently comes in two color white black or plum looking purple it's also very competitively priced at one thirty nine ninety nine which is ten dollars cheaper than the Fitbit charge - or Fitbit Alta EHR I'll have a charge two versus vivos from our three video up shortly after this video so keep an eye out for that one if you do decide to pick this Garmin up just make sure you get the right size for you if you want to pick the people´s for three up I'll have links in the description below okay so let's get this thing out of the box Garmin has never really been good and delivering of the unboxing experience like Fitbit does and Olivos smart 3 is no exception inside you'll find the fitness tracker our predator style charging cradle a user manual and a tab instructing you to download garments connect that on your phone now I'll get into the app store Lea but for now let's a look at the hardware the garmin vivosmart 3 is a well-put-together fitness tracker for its price it's not as premium looking or feeling like let's say the Fitbit Alta HR instead the people score 3 is made mostly out of silicone and has a very minimalist design when the screen is off it basically looks like you're wearing a black dress pants when you double tap the screen or raise your arm the OL LED screen turns on honestly I'm a fan of the LED screen it's bright and very easy to read in direct sunlight I'll select a resolution and give them the screen you get slightly more detailed than other screens found and other fitness trackers one problem I do have with the screen though is that it looks foggy for some reason I don't know if it's because the silicone layer over the screen or what photo really takes away from the overall experience The Spinners factor has a five-day battery life but if you're a power user or you work out a lot you should get around 3 or 4 days and this fitness tracker connects via bluetooth and has a range of 30 feet but overall the garmin vivosmart 3 is a very compact and lightweight fitness tracker it's slightly smaller than the Fitbit charge 2 but manages to squeeze in a screen that is able to show you a little bit more information just keep in mind you can't swap out dance so you stuff with whatever you get which means if you work in an office it'll stick out if you ask me garlis we're gonna show you the government people's 1/3 does all the things you'd expect the basics the instructors should do these days it tracks your steps distance walks floors climb calories burn intensity minutes and track your sleep so you can get a better understanding the sleep quality and with move like you it'll automatically detect exercises and lock them for you in the Garmin Connect that this tracker also has a heart rate monitor on the back which is also very low profile but the garmin vivosmart 3 does have a few other tricks up its sleeve first up is waterproof so you can swim with it and it'll track your laps which not all fitness trackers in this price range or what this feature set can do for example the alta HR or charge to Gorman also claims the vivosmart 3 can track your stress levels and display to you on both the tracker and in the Garmin Connect app is it something I really need to know not really and seeing my stress level climb above 80 on my VMs my 3 on a regular basis does nothing more than just stress me out even more the Revo Zoomer 3 also has guided breathing sessions like the Fitbit charge 2 but again I feel like it's another game it's not something I look for in a fitness track one really cool feature I do like on this fitness tracker is the new rep counting capability it's not 100% accurate and doesn't work if you're using like exercise machines like the leg prize leg extension like curls and so on but if you're somebody that does a lot of full-body circuit training or CrossFit then this feature can be pretty handy you might have to go into the app and make some Corrections but the concept is there just keep in mind core exercises and pull-ups don't get along too well beaver this feature is more suited towards full body or upper body boom the government vivosmart 3 also has a few features baked into it for starters you can see the weather your smartphone notifications and petroleum music playback you also get a stopwatch ever timer built-in so if you don't want to take your phone out you have options but I think my favorite feature is to find my phone feature right from your vivosmart 3 you can play a ringtone on the phone so you can find it which is great for me because I'm always losing everything although the hardware does have its pros like I said in the past when buying fitness tracker you're not just buying the hardware you're also buying into the software and here Garmin Connect is to Windows and sip its app is to happen where fitbit's app is very easy to use and has everything laid out you in a very elegant manner garments connect that can be a little harder to navigate at times but those give you a much more in-depth breakdown of your workout especially if you're a runner the garments AB will show you stats like distance wasps complete quality weight loss progress and will quantify your heart rate readings and stuffable measurements just to name a like I said if you're a runner the Apple map out your run and show you information without in timing running dynamics elevation temperature paced cadence vertical oscillation and ground contact I'm just a heads up for anyone considering giving the Bevo's my three to an older non tech savvy relatives be ready to constantly want them through this app because I'm still trying to figure it out I just personally think the user interface have some room for improvements and I would like to see a better summary page that shows you your daily stats likes if it does so what I recommend the vivosmart 3 if you need something waterproof because you swim a lot and you want something with the hardware monitor built in or if you're already used to using on the fitness trackers and you haven't upgraded in the one or if you're really into running then yeah this one's for you just keep in mind there is no built-in GPS on the vivosmart 3 there probably setting that for the first model later if you're looking into your first wearable and you're just getting into finish or you want something really simple to you to ever recommend you look into Fitbit offerings like the charge 2 or Fitbit Alta HR I'll have links to their reviews posted below hey if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed the video if you could
