I've been debating changing from my fitbit alta due to strap and charger issues with it. I've noticed garmin have an offer on both the vivoactive 3 and the vivomove HR. Anyone got any if these? What's the difference between them?

It looks like the Vivoactive 3 has GPS, but the Vivomove HR doesn't.

I have a different Garmin which doesn't have GPS. If it doesn't have GPS it estimates distances via steps, which for me as I do walking or running it means the distances can be very inaccurate. It of course also estimates pace via distance, laps via the distance etc.

I'm not sure how accurate the GPS on a watch is anyway, but I would imagine distances and of course therefore all the measurements would definately be more accurate on the watches with GPS.

this is a comparison of the 2 watches
