Differences between the Vivomove 3 and Vivomove sport?

What are the differences  between the Vivomove 3 and Vivomove sport? As far I can see the size, and that the Vivomove 3 has still a barometer. Considering both are in the same price range, why should one buy the Vivomove sport? Maybe newer sensors?

    Owning both of them, 3s (same features as 3) and Sport, my observations so far:

    • Only 3s has altimeter (counts floors up/down)
    • 3s charges a lot faster, with both having similar battery life
    • Only Sport has a watch face / widget that shows exact SoC, while 3s shows just rough scale bar
    • Sport has better display resolution (circles are really round, text clearer to read) and is slightly brighter (you'll notice outdoors) 
    • 3s looks way more classy from metal housing and fingers, while Sport looks a lot cheaper
    • Only Sport logs GPS when auto-starting activity (annoying on the 3s to not get this) 
    • Sport has super buggy software at time of writing with ghost taps, freezing at activity start, resets at activity save, etc. (the reason I bought the 3s and stopped wearing the Sport)

    Also, both families come in distinct sizes, with 3s having 39mm diameter (18mm strap), 3 is 44mm, Style + Luxe are 42mm (all 20mm straps). The Sport is 40mm with 20mm strap. So, depending on your wrist size, some models may not fit well.

    In terms of sensor accuracy, I could not notice any differences.

    Hope it helps.
