Vivomove 3S issue with activity options.

Former Member over 5 years ago

My watch only displays running as an activity option - I have selected Walk, Cardio & Strength training in the app, but these options don't display in the settings on my Vivomove 3S

Are you telling that on your watch you do not have the symbols shown in the manual? In that case verify your activity and acticity tracking settings, or just make a factory reset - I do not know your watch…

Did you follow the steps in the manual for starting those activities on your Vivomove 3S?

For running and waking it would be on this page:

For a Strength activity, you can find instructions here:

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. The issue is that multiple activities do not show as an option for me to record- only running comes up when I go into the Settings menu.

Are you telling that on your watch you do not have the symbols shown in the manual? In that case verify your activity and acticity tracking settings, or just make a factory reset - I do not know your watch, but would guess that the activities are enabled by default, if the manual shows them. Also try asking on the Vivomove 3S forum, instead of here. Other users of Vivomove 3S will be able to help you better.

Yes, that's right. I've only owned it for 5 days & followed all the appropriate steps in the manual. I'll try a reset. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I had the same problem when I bought my device, but I think I managed to fix it by removing it from the Connect app and adding it again combined with a "factory reset" from the watch menu ( not the mobile app).....I remember looking for a way to manually reboot the device, but I don't think I found that....

I am having the same issue, watch only shows running. Did the reset work?

Hi I am having same issue also. Only brought watch yesterday. Did this reset work?

I did several things and for me one of them worked:

- unistall Conenct app and install again

- add/remove activities from Connect App

- "factory reset" from the watch menu

I don't know if it would have worked with just the reset, because I tried them together

I had the same issue when I first got my watch. Reset worked, I have all the icons now.
