I bought the vivoactive 3 music June 19th 2019, it started to lose it's battery life in less than 24hrs after charging it to 100% in May. I want to love this watch but this is a major problem. I have turned off all features amd deleted all the apps which were added via connect IQ with no difference in results. Some of the Garmin smartwatches that support custom watch faces include Fenix 6, Forerunner 235, Vivoactive 3, Forerunner 45, Forerunner 245 and Forerunner 945. If you’d like to check whether or not your device is supported you can visit Garmin’s ConnectIQ storefront. Like much of Garmin’s downloadable content, the watch faces are created. The Vivoactive 3, though, is hard to beat for exercise tracking. Battery life is another killer feature on this front. The Garmin Vivoactive 3 lasts for 13 hours of GPS tracking, a lot more than the five hours of the Apple Watch. Garmin says it’ll last up to a week without any GPS antics.
