I bought this watch in May 2016. It has many impressive features and apps but it is unreliable and flakey. For example, it constantly resets the units from my selected metric and 24 hour time format to miles and yards and 12 hour time.

I bought this watch to replace a forerunner 110. It is almost everything I wanted. I would have liked to have seen more smartwatch functionality. This would have probably put it out of my price range and caused it to be thicker though.

Accurate GPS built in; Some smartwatch functions; Nice looking.great battery life

Could be brighter; Could use more smartwatch functionality

The Garmin vivoactive HR is the flagship mid-range sport watch from Garmin. Think of it as the fenix 3 HR Lite. It supports running (indoor/out), cycling (indoor/out), swimming (open water only), golf, snowboarding, skiing, and you can create your own sport profiles for activities like yoga,...

Affordable price; Full-color; sunlight-readable display; Optical HR sensor with ability to pair to external HR monitor; GPS-built in with nearly all sport profiles as well as custom profiles; Supports stored and streamed music

Durability concerns due to plastic casing; HR sensor is not great for dynamic movements; Does not pair with HRM Tri or HRM Swim; Lacks some of the training features of other GPS watches (VO2 max; etc.

Great range of apps and easy to use straight out of the box

Bit bulky (presumably to accommodate the HR monitor) so not really an all day; everyday watch for smaller wrists

The Garmin Vivoactive HR is potentially the only fitness tracker you'll ever need to buy…

Useful Display; Tons of Features; Accurate Tracking; Water Resistant; Pairing With Phone; GPS-Support, So No Need For Phone; Collects MASSES of Data

Design's Rather Chunky; App Has A Learning Curve

Considering it is essentially what they do, Garmin were pretty late to the party when it comes to the fitness tracker market. They have done GPS running, cycling and swimming watches for years but for some reason they have only recently started offering an integrated step counter and heart rate...

Tracks swimming ; no waiting for satellites

Not elegant; no swimming GPS

When researching smart watches, this received good reviews (always a good starting point!) I didnu2019t know 100% what I was looking for in a smart watch but 2 features that really appealed were it had built in GPS and its waterproof which many rivals around this price level donu2019t offer.Iu2019ve...

Have had watch since it first came out and it is super. Have biked, swam, run, hiked, slept, you get the idea all the time all summer and still looks like new. It has preformed like a champ.

I bought this bundle to track runs and swims, sticking with Garmin as I've a Garmin bike computer. Comfortable on my small wrists, though sometimes press buttons accidentally on wrist/cuffs. Good functionality for tracking steps, run, walk, pool swim, bike, sleep, and golf (not for me).
