everyone Jimmy would Jim's review verb the last two generations the view fit series had a great price point it was simple to use but it just offered the right amount of features to make it one of the best lower $100 activity trackers to own now with the view fit three there's been several changes but we'll see if those changes are worth it I personally paid $99 retail at the time this video but I'll include my Amazon links in the video description below click on those and you get updated prices you never know when these things might go on sale so without further ado my channels here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review go over the physical features first I usually have everything blacken my channel but I switched it up to white this time though the bands are interchangeable with squeezing and pushing out the tracker itself here and Garmin does continue of making the view of it waterproof up to 5 atm meaning that you can swim with us on now the only thing though water does get into the band itself at time so just make sure you leave it out to air dry before putting the tracker back in so overall the van is super soft it's lightweight and it does hold on very secure it's using the snapping button method but with this unique turn of a dial here the slack the connection into place it's pretty original and it seriously works unless thing and what makes this very ideal like the misfit shine and a few other trackers out there this uses a cell battery that lasts up to a year Pro Garmin you don't have to recharge this thing every five days or so now moving on to the display this is the biggest change instead of that horizontal screen that we've seen on the past two generations which I do admit offered a bigger and easier to read display the new vertical display is more ideal for most people the orientation of your wrist is just more natural the screen is very much visible outdoors and in bright sunlight in dim lighting it's still readable it's a little bit harder and if you need that backlight to turn on just hold down the button on the tracker now one of the newest features that we haven't seen on the previous models there's five different watch faces from the factory that can be easily changed or selected from within the app you can decide which one looks best to you but going over the display here you do have your time tapping on the very tactile button ear reveals your date steps taken steps remaining to hit your daily goal estimated distance estimated calories burn for that day there and less are your intensity minutes or basically the moments that you've been very active if you press and hold the view fit button down and option to start a stopwatch is offered but this will manually start a recorded activity for you as well while steps are recorded estimated distance remaining steps to go for that day and if you do have an A and t plus or an aunt plus heart rate chest strap you can pair it with your vivofit three now to stop the activity just simply hold down the button once again and once you sync this to your phone that activity show up in the Garmin Connect now the view of it 3 does offer automatic detection on some workouts here through what they call move IQ even if you don't start that stopwatch option I just showed you if you just start walking running biking swimming or elliptical training the V 153 will sense this and start recording and segmenting this activity now it works for the most part but there are a few occasions where it may be off by several minutes usually at the start of a run but overall if you forget to set if you forget to use that stopwatch it's nice that Garmin does offer a back up other things the view of it 3 does automatically attract sleep which has worked accurate from my test it also provides auto goal which based on your previous day's steps the Garmin will adjust or go up or down so every day you can strive to do more it's seriously an underrated feature and more bands are now offering this too now this like the other Garmin products here has the move bar it's somewhat small on this particular band here on the V will fit three but if you have been inactive for a while this red bar will extend across the screen and basically tell you to get up and move so with everything being discussed the only one little downside here that I've seen so far there's an alarm that you can set up through the Garmin Connect app and the band will emit this little beep here but what we don't have is a vibrating alarm which is very common of an other activity band now although the screen is smaller the screen still works with providing the necessary information but I do admit the new orientation makes the view fit three more user-friendly so with the options of replaceable bands intensity minutes now being offered new watch faces and move I cube making its way here there is a good number of upgrades or new features being offered now I'd say if you have the view fit 2 already it's not a big jump over to the v1 v 3 the view fit 2 is already great but if you're looking for a well run activity tracker that does provide a very good amount of features with a very attractive price and you don't have anything just yet you're just looking for a new tracker in general the new boot fit might be perfect for you so guys remember to add me on
