It uses the kind of standard coin cell battery you put inside an analogue watch, so it's a cheap exercise to get it powered up again. Like it's predecessor, it has a year long battery life, so there's no need to carry around a proprietary charging cable. It'll now also track intensity minutes to help more accurately capture data during the day and feed back into the Garmin Connect companion app. That means the Vivofit 3 can automatically recognise and track a range of activities including running, cycling and swimming. There's no built-in vibration motor either, so you can't use it for silent alarms to wake you up in the morning.Īside from the new look, the big new features include the addition of Garmin's Move IQ software. You don't get a heart rate monitor like you do on the Vivosmart HR or the new Vivoactive HR, and it also lacks any smartphone notification support. It also includes the great Move Bar, which keeps an eye on your inactivity and will help keep you motivated to hit those daily goals. So it will monitor steps, distance, calories burned, automatic sleep tracking and let you see the time.
This is going to offer you baseline tracking. The essence of the device is the same as before. Wareable verdict: Garmin Vivofit 3 review We'll reserve judgement on how nice they look when we see them up close though. In a bid to make its sporty band more fashionable, you now have the option to swap out the bands for a host of different funky styles. Now into its third generation, the Vivofit 3 has been in need of a makeover so it's slimmed down and now includes a smaller screen. Garmin is expanding its fitness tracker family with the introduction of the Vivofit 3, a sub-£100 band that will automatically recognise activities and comes with a more eye-catching look.
