However, I recently started using it to record when I swim laps in the pool, and it works really well. It&#8217;s a great motivator, because I can compare how fast I completed my laps on previous days. Note that it does not record your heart rate while swimming, only your distance, time, pace, and strokes. Which is definitely enough for me!<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">You might also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-1030-vs-820-vs-520-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garmin Edge 1030 vs. 820 vs. 520 Plus<\/a><\/h4>\n<h3>Step 2: Select Bike on your Garmin Vivoactive 3<\/h3>\n<p>Next, simply choose Bike by touching the word on the watch with your finger tip.

It will of course be in your Garmin Connect account, where it will automatically sync within a short period of time. In my case, I have set up my Garmin Connect to automatically upload my activities to Strava, because I prefer the Strava interface. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/why-cyclists-should-use-strava\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">read more about how to use Strava here<\/a>. Note that your Garmin Vivoactive 3 will automatically record your heart rate all the time (plus your sleep patterns). So you can review how your heart performed on your bike ride, as well as keep a check on that all-important stat &#8211; your resting pulse rate. With Strava, you will only be able to review your pulse rate during your bike ride, and that only if you have two elements in place:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You are wearing a heart rate monitor.<\/li>\n<li>You have paid for Strava Summit (which used to be called Strava Premium).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Of course, with the Garmin Vivoactive 3, the heart rate monitor is an optical monitor built into the watch.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the Process on a Video!<\/h3>\n<p>You can also see the whole process of recording an activity in this handy intro video. Recording an activity starts at minute 1:15.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"v\u00edvoactive 3: Getting the Most Out of Your Device\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sCLFl2SQoCY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>How Easy is it to Record Activities with Your Garmin Vivoactive 3?<\/h3>\n<p>I am a big fan of Strava, so I usually use the Strava app on my phone to record activities. However, I was pleased and surprised to find that it is even easier and quicker to use my Garmin Vivoactive 3 to record activities, than it is to use Strava. The best part is that I can record activities even if I forget my phone at home, and I don&#8217;t have to use up my phone battery. My iPhone is two years old, and I often find that recording activities on Strava really burns through my phone battery.
