Garmin vivoactive GPS Watch

Do you like to be active away from the course as well? The vivoactive watch will help you there, too. This product includes tracking for running, biking, walking, swimming, and more. Also, it can pair up with your smart phone to give you alerts when you have a call, text, email, etc.

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.

Garmin Vivoactive HR hands-on review

We are really, really impressed by this smartwatch. It offers a huge array of features in a compact, comfortable and practical package that will meet the needs of most athletes, whether amateur or professional. And for just over £200, we think it's a bit of a bargain, particularly when you consider that it offers GPS, notifications and an app store for adding yet more tools and features when you need them.
