RunningRonnie Nov 2018 10:06am, 6 Nov 2018 1,472 posts	0 RunningRonnie Trying to choose between a Vivoactive 3 or a Forerunner 645. The Forerunner slightly wins out, as it supports Spotify, but I do think that will come to the Vivoactive 3. Have you tried the music playback on either device while running and does it keep up? My Samsung Gear Fit 2 pairs with my Aftershokz fine, but music skips while running as the bluetooth doesn't really keep up.
