– Connects to Bluetooth Smart Sensors: It can connect to Bluetooth Smart HR Straps, Speed/Cadence Sensors (both individual and combo), and Footpods. – New 2017 Garmin Elevate Optical HR sensor: The same more advanced HR sensor we’ve seen on the Fenix 5 and FR935 is here as well, bringing virtually constant 24×7 HR recording (no major gaps anymore) – New user interface in many areas: While not 100% new, there’s a ton of differences within how the user interface works (see my video below on it)

– Stress Monitoring Added: This monitors stress throughout the day, also a Vivosmart 3 feature this spring. – Fitness Age Estimates added: This was also introduced in the Vivosmart 3 this spring – VO2Max Estimation Added: We’ve historically seen this on higher end watches, so this is new at this price point. – Automatic Rep Counting added: For strength workouts, this was seen previously on the Vivosmart 3 this spring. – Pre-loaded workouts added: These are for run, cardio, strength, and bike workouts – Structured workout support added: This allows you to download custom workouts and training plans/calendars to execute – Garmin Pay added: Contactless payments that utilizes NFC so you can buy your coffee with just your wrist

– Addition of two swipe interface points on side of watch: These allow up/down movement through menus – Ability to flip watch 180°: You can make the button be on the left or right, your choice. – From two buttons to one button: Removal of the two front-facing buttons, and now just a single side-facing button – Round Watch Design: No longer a square, the Vivoactive 3 is all rounded So since everyone likes bulleted lists, let’s just run through all the new/different things on the Vivoactive 3 compared to the Vivoactive HR of the past: Some of it is fairly obvious – the totally new design of the external interface, but a lot of it is under the covers in the functionality of the watch, or even internal to the hardware (like NFC). The Fall 2017 battle of fitness watches has begun! What’s new: The company expects to start shipping mid-late September, so on very similar timelines as the Fitbit Ionic that also just was announced a few days ago.

The watch software isn’t final yet (the hardware is), but it’s pretty darn close. I’ve been using the watch for about a week now and have a reasonably good grasp of how well it works, both in day to day use as well as a handful of workouts.

Plus a new and improved optical heart rate sensor. So areas like Vo2Max estimation and structured workouts are now present (with pre-loaded workouts). Further, Garmin continued the trend of taking more expensive watch features and placing them into less expensive watches. This is Garmin’s first wearable to add contactless payment capabilities (aka NFC), called Garmin Pay. Those two are updates of the existing Vivomove and Vivosmart 3 (yes, the one that just came out 5 months ago).īut as I was saying – this is all about the Vivoactive 3, and the changes here are pretty sweeping. You’ve got the Vivoactive 3, which I’m covering here – but also the Vivomove HR and Vivosport, which you’ll see in another post. Today Garmin announced a swath of new Vivo-branded wearable devices.
