I've had my Vivoactive 3 for just over a year.. I rarely use the GPS function, but when I do, it drains the battery maybe 10-15% minimum. Otherwise, my watch lasts a good 6-7 days without another charge. I use it for my everyday wear and to track my sleep for the most part. I'd prefer something with a longer battery life, but I don't really know of any watch out there that is a smart watch that doesn't require a charge at least once a week.
I went with this watch because there were too many functions with other smart watches or fitness trackers and I'm totally fine with minimal tech (i.e. you can't type text responses on this watch, but you can use their pre-programmed responses).
According to Garmin’s website, Model 010-01769-09 is white and rose gold? This appears to be 010-01769-01. Perhaps someone from Massdrop can confirm which one they are selling.
It appears these are being drop-shipped from BuyDig.com at a 10% discount over their store price. I can't find it cheaper than $200 anywhere else, so this seems like a decent deal.
I've owned this watch for over a year. It's a lightweight watch with solid GPS and lock-on time. I used to wear as an everyday watch as well and it looks fine from a distance but close up you'll notice that it's a smartwatch which is why I've switched to the Vivomove HR for everyday use and only break out the VivoActive for runs. The bands are interchangable and use standard 20mm lugs so you can stick any strap you want on it.
Downsides include a very short battery life. My watch experiences ~20% battery drain per hour when the GPS is running. Otherwise, expect maybe three four days between charges. This is the non-music version so you won't be able to load songs or use Spotify on it.
As always with sports tech, DC Rainmaker has written a massively in depth review on it here.
I bought the Vivomove because it's one of the few smartwatches that works in an office setting. Just know that it doesn't have GPS so it doesn't work well for tracking runs and similar activities.
RashkhThank you for the information about the battery life. That's my primary concern with these wearables. Until they can get to a real-world use life of 7 days, I just don't have the time to keep up with all of these blasted rechargeable devices! All of my bike lights (4-5 in rotation), the bike computer, and my (now retired) Vivofit HR... It's almost like a part-time job to keep up with charging.
I just picked one of these up on Amazon Black Friday last month. I've really enjoyed it, although I would prefer a Fenix 5x plus because of the sapphire glass and less dainty appearance, but I didn't want to shell out over $600 even on sale.
