(passive GPS use).

The GPS is great and it works awesome to upload rides onto Strava.

The GPS is great and it works awesome to upload rides onto Strava.

overall, good small GPS for the money.

Great interface, solid GPS connectivity and a good comfortable design.

The GPS works great and is very fast acquiring satellite coverage...just a few seconds compared to minutes with the 205.

love the GPS aspect as well... great value

Unfortunately it requires being fairly snug against your skin which leaves an impression of the optical monitor against your upper wrist.+ GPS is solid, as is the redesigned Garmin Connect for additional activities

The GPS works flawlessly

I think the GPS is great, I think the tracking ability for motion and sleep are fine, but the UI is clunky as heck, it's crazy easy to accidentally press buttons and have things

GPS is spotty, making my pace per mile on runs pretty erratic

Very durable, great GPS with no need to take your phone for GPS.

Best GPS watch I've had yet

Overall, I liked the GPS and HR monitor for exercise and other physical metrics like knowing sleep,weight, andresting heart rate

Makes beautiful GPS tracks of walks and hikes.

but I love the GPS

Likes-GPS

I wish there was a hiking option as for a workout because I do a lot of hiking and the GPS is very helpful to track the trails I take

The GPS also works without having to have a phone with you, which is a great feature!

Battery life is awesome, gps works great and notifications work really well.

Multiple workout features Excellent GPS that does not require a phone Garmin Connect App

But if you want a fitness tracker that adds rough GPS and HR data, this is a fine deal

But the GPS is even worse

Fast GPS connection

3 - The GPS is terribly inaccurate

The GPS and software is very nice.

All the functionality is wonderful, it has the best GPS that I have used in several smart watches, but

The watch has good battery life, always on display, great GPS, and all the sensors one would expect

The answer is to manufacture a GPS Smart Watch with a better pattern of reliability.

Its GPS works perfect when running or cycling in the street

Love the HR, love the GPS

The GPS has its shortcomings too.

Pros:*Very accurate GPS (can easily tell which side of the street you're on)

Switched to this from tomtom gps watch, which sometimes had syncing issues and slow gps connectivity.

Also, ironically the GPS is not very accurate, when I see the route that I did shows some trails that I did not do it at all, and I said "ironically" because I always thought in Garmin as a leader GPS brand.

The GPS works even in heavily wooded areas, too

The vivoactive HR i found had more accurate GPS tracking than the Nike

Overall, it remains a solid GPS watch, but a mediocre HR monitor.

functions great GPS works well

The gps was flawless and the notifications worked most of the time

The GPS and HR monitor are very accurate and the durability is great

The GPS will sometimes shortchange me by up to 1/2 mile on the routes that it was accurate on just a few days previously

Pros :* Good GPS performance and

The GPS still works good, which is great for going on bike rides and hiking

Love the GPS too.

Battery life is awesome, gps works great and notifications work really well.

It is a really nice Device to use in any sport, it shows a lot information, Statistics HR, distance, and a accurate GPS.

Accurate GPS.

The GPS works well and as long as you're outside it finds the signal pretty quick

Awesome gps watch

But while it worked, it really was everything I wanted in a smart GPS watch.

The GPS is amazingly accurate during all of my runs and really helps me keep a steady pace

Best GPS watch I've used so far!

Tracking is great (especially GPS), and the face customization is fun

I don't really need the GPS piece but really liked the other features the device offered so the GPS was just a bonus.

The GPS is very accurate.

1 apple watch, and liked it (no GPS though); when I switched to Android, I tried a Samsung Frontier, but it stunk for anything but looking pretty, including any kind of reliable GPS/fitness tracking, so I tried the Garmin.

The GPS is accurate enough for government work.

It's small and light enough to wear as an everyday watch, and the GPS (when it works) is good for tracking pace and distance

Great fitness watch, comfortable to wear, quick GPS lock, reasonable number of smartwatch features, and broad number of activity tracking options

but you get reasonably accurate GPS tracking and a bounty of available excercise software to help take your workouts to the next level

GPS worked well, and it was a very nice running watch

I'm on my second one, with the first one having a very incorrect GPS.

The GPS is accurate to which side of the street your on, the battery has never weakened and lasts a week easily (without gps activities tracked)

Well, a watch, and a gps

The GPS seriously drains the battery too.

Very accurate GPS, very accurate heart rate monitor (for a watch).

Great GPS sync

The screen is kinda dark and the gps stops working sometimes

The GPS works

The battery life is a huge advantage over the other watch, plus the larger screen is great, and GPS seems to work well

Awesome GPS watch

Heart rate monitor (a bit sporadic, but great for general reference)- Colored touch screen (not as sharp and pretty as the iWatch of Gear S, but does not drain the battery)- Size - A little large, but houses lots of functions

I had 2 defective Vivoactive 3’s and finally got one that
