So yes, there are other more chic watches that will do some of the same things. For a few quid either side of ￡200 though, depending where you shop, the understated Vivoactive HR is packed to the gills with long-lasting easy-to-use and rewarding fitness cleverness.

It does what it is meant to do; Its comfortable to wear and the data received seems to be consistent with other devices I have but in a more convenient

A number of the app's needed to be installed afterwards; which seemed a little wrong to me

Product is fab, however it made my arms tingle ( something to do with a small number of people being sensitive to the magnets apparently) so I had to return it. Otherwise I would have definately kept it.

I've had a busy month. I've been running, cycling, swimming, rowing and hiking. And I've done all of this while wearing a single watch, Garmin's Vivoactive HR. Unlike many of Garmin's other products, the watch won't appeal to just athletes. It's an everyday fitness band, but with smartwatch elements. It gives Fitbit a run for its everyday-fitness money and is a compelling solution for anyone with an active lifestyle.

The Vivoactive HR's versatile, multipurpose function and design make it one of the better smart GPS fitness watches on the market.

There's a wealth of features here, including all-day activity tracking, phone notifications, built-in optical heart-rate sensor, GPS, multiple sport profiles and an always-on display; It can be worn in the shower and while swimming.

It's bulky; there are occasional connection and syncing problems; and the mobile app is confusing.

I definitely recommend this to anyone that bikes and runs and wants to record their progress. As you run you can monitor your pace and heart rate and provides very accurately how far you have run. Notifies you when you have been stagnant for too long.

I like the watch and it works well for me. It is comfortable to wear all day and night!! I am still learning how to use the phone app/watch together and I like the way it maps my mountain bike rides. I also have the my fitness pal app which links to Garmin Connect and that is great!

comfortable & light

If all you are after is an activity tracker to tell you whether you've walked more than yesterday, or remind you to get of the sofa, the Vivoactive HR is, quite frankly, overkill. Go look at the Fitbit Alta , Withings Go , or Misfit Shine 2 , instead.

Reloj fantástico, ligero, facil manejo, pantalla táctil con muy buena respuesta al usarla.

Works great, very accurate. I bought this to replace a fitbit and I'm glad I did. Way more functionality.
