I used Apple’s own workout app, Strava, Nike Run Club, and MapMyRun. But, the Apple Watch Series 3 has made improvements if you want to go that route. The winner in battery life is definitely the Garmin Vivoactive 3. I used it quite a bit while comparing the two and managed to have it last through 4-5 days of use with runs each day. Garmin says it has 7 days of battery life in watch use and up to 13 hours of GPS time. That is excellent compared to the Apple Watch Series 2!īut, the Garmin watches are really much better in the battery life arena. I was able to go about 32-38 hours with 2 runs that totaled 2 to 2.5 hours quite a few times. The Apple Watch Series 3 has done a good job of improving on battery life, something that was really necessary. But, this should help you to see some key differences between them to see where the other excels. In the end, they are both very capable watches. I will have a post and video later on a more in-depth look at both of these devices but with great sales on the Garmin Vivoactive 3 and the Apple Watch Series 3 rolling out for Black Friday, I wanted to point out some key differences in case you are looking.
