Description

Garmin Vivoactive 3 Full Specifications, Features, and Price – Garmin’s Vivoactive 3 is a fine-looking fitness-focused smartwatch with lots of features and a long battery life that keeps you going for days. The Vivoactive 3 is a sturdy device and going by the Garmin’s standard, it’s rugged and quite stylish which leaves it with a decent appearance.

The Vivoactive 3 is available in three editions, the Vivoactive 3, Vivoactive 3 Music, and Vivoactive 3 LTE. The last two have onboard music storage which isn’t present on the standard Vivoactive 3 edition. The LTE edition has support for cellular connectivity up to 4G powered by Verizon. Of course, the more features mean that the Vivoactive 3 music and LTE edition are a bit more expensive than the Vivoactive 3 with the LTE edition being the most expensive.

Each edition of the Vivoactive 3 is well equipped to track your active life and also can improve your productive life with the innovative technologies built-in.
