Q Does this watch show a physical map to track where you have gone? We are looking for one that does for when we hike.
A It does show a map of the area, even on the water when I kayak. However the strange rash on my arm from the face of the watch makes this model a no-go. Get any other model, the Forerunner for example. Don't buy this one
Q Is there a way to be tracking activity but have clock screen on and locked? I teach spin and need to see clock for drill timing.
A Clock timing can be selected as one of the attributes that can be shown on the screen. Also once you start the activity, it can run in background in locked condition
Q Is it compatible with Apple iOS?
A Yes. i have an iPhone XR and it works just fine with it. The only thing that doesn't work for Apple that Garmin says is a feature is the ability to respond to text messages from the watch. This is called out in several customer reviews, but for me is not a deal breaker since I don't plan on texting from my watch.
Q Is there a way to get it to track heart rate more accurately during workouts??
A Not that I have found. I. wear a heart rate monitor.

A From Garmin: Thoroughly rinse the device with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, cosmetics, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals. Prolonged exposure to these substances can damage the case.So yes, you can wear it at sea or swimming at sea. Be sure to rinse well afterwards.

A The OS is Garmin’s own proprietary software.
Q How long is the wrist strap
A The strap fits wrists with a circumference of 127-204 mm.
Q how can I setup more languages? I need spanish
A Touch and hold the watch face. Scroll down to Settings. Select settings and scroll down to System and select system. Scroll to language and select Espanol.
Q Is the Bluetooth connection between watch and phone stable ie it doesn't get disconnected?
A It seems very stable with my Samsung S7. As soon as I get within about 10 feet, it connects automatically. I've been upstairs in my house and gotten a text that shows up on my watch, even when the phone is downstairs. That's more useful than I thought it could be, even though it doesn't have enough space to show more than the sender and the first few words, because I can know whether it's something I need to reply to quickly or later. It gives me a few stock responses that I can choose on the watch for a quick reply.
Q What is the difference between standard and music?
A You download music to your watch.
Q Are you able to set a goal pace and get alerts if you're behind or ahead?
A Yes but you have to download the Garmin app on your cell phone and it will alert you through your phone in which the smart watch will alert you if having a message as well.
Q Does this watch chart sleep stages such as rem, deep, light, etc.?
A Hi, the sleep chart is the same as all the watch sleep apps. It charts Deep sleep, light sleep and awake.
Q Does the screen have larger text than the vivoactive hr? i struggle with the vivoactive hr w/o reading glasses.
A The font size within the different apps is about the same as the Vivoactive HR. The watch faces (what you'd see regularly) can be customized to be much much larger. I have a very simple watch face on right now that has massive digits that I can literally see from across the room. If you are in the stock running, hiking, walking or any other app, they follow Garmin's set fonts. You can enlarge those by selecting fewer fields to display at the same time. You can set the screen to show 1 field at a time in larger font, and have it cycle automatically between 3 or 4 different fields. That way you get the largest font possible. This is not specific to the vivoactive 3 however. You can setup your Vivoactive HR to do the same exact thing and show you 1 data field at a time in larger font.
Q How long is the initial charge time when it arrives?
A The watches arrive in varied state of charge. Mine arrived with just over 80% and it only took a few minutes to top it off. The watch is capable of charging from completely empty to completely full in about an hour or a little longer from almost any USB power source.
Q Has anyone tried the golf feature?
A I had a Garmin Approach X40 which is a dedicated unit for golf. Vivoactive 3 is comparable to X40 or in some way better because of the larger screen. However, the battery doesn't seem to last 13 hours as claimed. At the end of 18 holes (5 hours), I was down to about 40% (started the round with 100% charged). X40 comes loaded with thousands of courses worldwide whereas, with Vivoactive, you have to download them ahead of time.
Q does it give you data on ellipticals?
A VA3 has Elliptical sport profile, so i suppose answer is "yes".
Q How reliable is the weather widget?
A Pretty good, as accurate as the weather channel or similar
Q how close does your phone need to be for the watch to work?
A 20 feet or so, but it doesn't need to be in range constantly... It only needs the phone to sync or receive notifications. It doesn't need the phone in range when doing activities, it'll sync whenever it gets back in range.
Q Does it show you a map version of where you went on your walk, hike, jog? I see that on other watches but cant see that Garmin finally has it.
A It does not show you your track on the watch itself but you can see a map of where you walked/bike/run on the companion Garmin Connect Mobile app after it synced to your phone.
Q All I want is to use is the gps, running, cycling modes and to see the time. Can these features be used without a smartphone?
A Yes, however if you want to utilize the Garmin Connect app, you will need a phone, tablet or computer to access it.
Q Can you add multiple alarms to this watch ?
A It appears that you can add multiple alarms, different times, different days.
Q Cam this watch face be digital?
A Yes there are about 50 or so faces to choose from
Q Does it show the weather?.
A On a certain screen, shows Temp, "Cloudy or Sunny" icon, hi low temp an % of rain
Q Can you manage your music on your phone from the vivoactive 3? Thanks!
A Yes...once the vivoactive 3 is connected to your smartphone..
Q Does this monitor blood pressure?
A no that would require a cuff probably not going to find that in a watch just a specific tester. The stress monitoring is looking at the variance in pulse and heart rate look at HeartMath monitors same idea.
Q how durable it is? is the body made of steel or plastic?
A I have discovered the watch isn’t very durable in the least. I love the watch when I first started using it. But, three months of use the screen started to crack and developed into a spider web crack across the whole face and the watch wouldn’t respond to any of the touch commands. When I bought the watch I also purchased screen protectors and applied one. I thought the cracks were in the screen protector until I removed it this morning. I discovered the cracks were in the face screen and more of them I couldn’t see through the protector.I don’t know when the damage occurred, I can’t remember hitting the watch hard enough to cause the damage. The repair cost is $110.00 and S&H both ways. For around $80.00 more I could buy a brand new watch. I’m wearing my old Timex that 10 year old and I’m filing the new Garmin in the trash.
Q How's the battery life on this watch?
A 4 days easy, but, First week with the watch, so, a lot of research on going.
Q Does it have an altimeter
A Yes, but as all other iltimetres it shows correct good count if you do not use elevator, in that case it can show climbed stairs, when you used elevator, which is wrong.
Q Does this come with the charging cable and in the box as new?
A Yes! It came with a charging cable!
