Purchased almost 4 years ago, and recently, the glue holding the watch back to the watch body failed. I noticed gummy, sticky stuff in the groove where the back met the body and assumed this was just sweaty body gunk, but as it turned out, this was the glue liquifying and seeping out. I always rinse and wipe down the watch after every workout (bike ride), and don't wear it at night. Sadly, this is almost exactly what happened to my previous Vivoactive (a Vivoactive HR), except in that case, it was the glue holding the screen onto the watch body that failed, after 2 years 6 months. In both cases, the watch failed outside of the warranty period. Of course.

I love my new watch, it does EVERYTHING I want it to. The face is large enough, I don't need my glasses on. #SWEEPSTAKES

Works as a watch. I guess the fitness functions are ok. Screen is pretty lo-rez and does not look like the pictures. if you make your own watch-face from a picture or something, which is very simple with the app, they look pixilated and the colors are very dim. The control on the side, opposite the stem, seems useless when you want to use them but seem to constantly change thing and the screen when you don't what it to.

Great quality Garmin watch at a reasonable price.

Works great and awesome battery life.

I am still working on how to work all the features. I like the features

So i have been a garmin user since the vivoactive HR came out. Upgraded to a vivoactive 3 muwic last year. Last December 24, I encountered a problem with my watch and the touchscreen, so I promptly reported it to Garmin's customer care team. They just asked details,videos and photos of the concern and processed an exchange within the same day with no questions asked!! After a few weeks of waiting, given it was a holiday, I receive a replacement free of charge!! Amazing customer service! It goes to show how they value you as a customer who believes in their product. I will be a garmin user for life and will continue to recommend this brand to all my friends.. Keep up the good work! Kudos to Mitch and the rest of the team for facilitating this..

Have had this watch for nearly 2 years. Unfortunately the piece that holds the strap in place broke. Where do I get a new one?

Since it will not charge anymore it is useless. Have tried everything found on internet and nothing helps.

Comments about vivoactive 3 GPS Fitness Smartwatch - (Black & Stainless)

Absolutely love my new Garmin watch! Does everything I wanted it to do and more. Only drawback is that it takes a while for all the notifications to come thru so I can block the ones I don't want.
