Garmin’s Fenix watches are without a doubt the Cadillac of adventure watches, but not everyone is a fan of their huge, rugged profile. If you are looking for something more subtle but still big on features, check out the Garmin Vivoactive 3. It’s a smaller, more refined GPS multisport smartwatch that’s available in a variety of color options. Amazon has the standard models on sale right now for a cool 28% off.
Both the black with stainless and white with stainless variants are enjoying discounts at the moment. They normally sell for $250, but the giant retailer has cut their prices down to just $179. On top of this discount is the chance to slash an extra $50 off when your application for an Amazon Rewards Visa gets approved.
The Vivoactive 3 boasts a design that strikes the balance between sporty and casual. Its easy to read LCD touchscreen is housed in a polymer case with a stainless-steel bezel and is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Weighing only 43 grams, it’s comfortable enough to wear for any outdoor activity. And with a water-resistance rating of up to 5 ATMs, it’s safe for swimming, showering, and all kinds of weather.
Staying active with this watch is easy. It comes with over 15 preloaded sports apps, including golf, biking, yoga, snowboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding. A full set of sensors — such as GPS, compass, accelerometer, and barometric altimeter — ensures accurate tracking of your chosen activity with no phone connection required.
Aside from sports-specific functions, the Garmin Vivoactive 3 is capable of all-day tracking as well. This encompasses fitness metrics like stairs climbed, calories burned, distance traveled, sleep quality, steps, heart rate, and more. It also has a stress meter that can provide users with a paced relaxation breathing session to help lessen stress levels.
Once connected to your compatible smartphone, you’ll be able to receive and respond to text messages, view social media updates, and more straight from your watch. What’s more, it offers Garmin Pay which equals having a wallet on your wrist.
As a full-featured GPS multisport smartwatch, the Garmin Vivoactive 3 simply does not disappoint. Our review team even named it the Fenix 5 junior due to similarities in design and onboard tech. Take advantage of Walmart’s offer and get the white or black variant today for only $179.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.
Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.
That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.
There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.
Both the App Store and the Play Store are packed with apps that promise to revolutionize the way we communicate. Most of them didn't make it. The truth is, a messaging app is only as good as the number of people using it, and most apps never cross that threshold.
