Vivoactive Smartwatch Bundle (Black) w/ Replacement White Strap - 010-01297-13
(GRVIVOACTIVEATK)
Pros: Great customer service, received it within a week of ordering and I even received a phone call asking if there were any problems or concerns with my order about 2 weeks later. I bought this for my husband for the golf feature but it turned out to be too 'smart' for him so I decided to try it. I enjoy the large face to see the time readily as well as the running feature. Rivals other running watches out there with this at a fraction of the cost.

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: This watch is exactly what I was looking for as i upgraded from my very old forerunner. It works well to track runs outside and indoors. I wasn't that interested in the other features (smartphone connectivity, step counting) but I find I use them a lot. It was a refurbished model, but it looks great, has full functionality, and has great battery life. Also, it literally arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered it with standard shipping. I was very pleased with this whole transaction!!

Would have been the perfect smart watch but..

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: Long battery life, text/email/app/weather/call notifications, vibrate alarm, light sensitive display with glow perfect for daytime or pitch black, water resistant have been in the rain and taken many showers with it, the silicone wrist band is superb really.
Everything about the watch is great except....
Cons: The Gorilla glass is really weak and has scratches with relatively low activity and not scratch worthy activities. I hadnt even taken it outdoors yet and it developed a scratch.
Highly disappointed.
The GPS is also a bit pointless, you cant use the watch while its tracking. So I would just use my phone app for fitness tracking as it has more information then the 3 statistics on the watch at a glance. Might as well keep using the phone if its not useful on the watch.
Other Comments: Ultimately this was the perfect watch for me, even though I still had to use my phone app for tracking. I like all the smart watch features and the silicone wristband is the most comfortable watch band I have ever tried yet.
Would have given the watch 5 stars if the gorilla glass was exchanged to Mineral or Sapphire and then we would have a really great watch here. As once the scratches build up the watch becomes useless. I cannot see myself using this watch very long before its covered in scratches and im very careful not to bang it and drag it on things when im on an activity.

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished

Pros: I absolutely love this watch. The battery life is great. I am a runner so I use GPS function for running. Garmin delivers again on their products. I have several Garmin watches. The watch is also lightweight.
Cons: I didnt have any cons with the watch. The lighting is dim but that did not bother me and it can be adjusted under the settings.

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: Light
Has GPS
Multiple activities which you can track
Downloadable watch faces and other apps
Also can be used to track treadmill runs
Alerts when you have been inactive for a long time.
Cons: Software and Usability could improve a lot.
Other Comments: I had Fitbit Charge Hr. I wanted to get something with GPS for my runs. Hence I decided to get this. Overall I am happy with the purchase. My primary usage is the running aspect.
I wouldn't pay a lot for this. If there is a decent deal then buy it.

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: -Came in excellent condition and no noticeable scratches or wear.
-The watch syncs with my iPhone and runkeeper seamlessly. No need for the annoying phone armband.
-After the first charge it lasted 2 weeks. At that point it still had 20% battery when I charged it.
-GPS results were very similar to my iPhone 6s but drains way less battery than my phone.
Cons: These are a couple things I knew about when buying this but would still like to see them in an updated model.
-Heartrate monitor. I know this is in the Vivoactive HR but that watch is way more bulky.
-Local storage for music & podcasts. This would completely eliminate the need for a second device when going for a run or bikeride.

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: The GPS is very responsive. It is so nice not having to carry my phone on runs. The step tracker is an added plus to keep track of your walking activity when not using the GPS. It has a move reminder to get up which for me is great at work. The size of the watch is not too big for a woman's arm. The connect app is nice. Once I set it up, it automatically sends the GPS activity to Strava which is nice.
Cons: I tried wearing it sleeping but I'm not used to wearing a watch when I sleep so it was uncomfortable.
Other Comments: I've had it for 2 weeks and really love it. Overall I am pleased so far

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: Battery life
Notification work well
GPS
Good looking
Cons: Hard to see in certain light conditions
Apps are not as nice looking as iPhone
I have two Garmin watches and it would be nice if the fitness results could all be in one check of Connect app.
Other Comments: Not sure if I'd trust doing anything like working in the yard with this watch on. Not very rugged. The Fenix is built like a tank.

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: mainly use the watch for running, cycling, and walking. GPS is ready in ~5-10 sec outdoor. battery lasted about a week with one hour use of GPS daily. very lightweight & comfortable to wear. it also works with my iPhone for calls / text messages / events notification. Bluetooth sync with Garmin connect software. also works with my old heart rate monitor strip.
Cons: touchscreen sometimes not very responsive. limited smart phone integration features.
Other Comments: I do a lot of running and cycling & this watch is perfect. GPS is ready much faster than my old Garmin watch. battery life lasts longer than my Pebble Time even I use the GPS almost everyday. The screen is dim but I have no problem reading it outside or inside with enough light. it is a refurb but the watch looks brand new.

Screen too small and GPS is inaccurate

Vivoactive Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch - Certified Refurbished
(GRVIVOACTIVEBKRB)
Pros: Price
Comfortable to wear
Cons: GPS is inaccurate
Screen is small and hard to read
Other Comments: I wanted to like it, but after a week I decided to send it back. The screen is VERY small (about 60% of the watch face) and very difficult to read. With the backlight off it is nearly impossible to see what's on the screen, especially since most of the downloadable watch faces have teeny-tiny print. But the deal-breaker for me was that the GPS is inaccurate, even with GLONASS enabled. I compared the vivoactive's readings to my smartphone's readings (with location services turned on) during my usual 5.5 mile walk. My smartphone app correctly showed not much deviation in my walking pace all along the course. The vivoactive showed wild swings in pace and at one point briefly stopped working altogether. So unfortunately I cannot recommend this watch.

Pros: Multiple uses
Cons: None so far
Other Comments: I have had the watch for only a few weeks, but I'm really enjoying it. It tracks my activity, alerts me when I have a call or text, reminds me to get up and move, and my favorite feature is seeing my yardage on the golf course. I'm looking forward to playing with many more features in the future.
