Garmin Vivosmart HR Activity Tracker: Monitor your daily activity with Vivosmart, a device that helps you make and maintain your fitness goals. The heart rate monitor provides accurate calories-burned information.
A: The Vivosmart HR has the heart monitor built in to the unit.
Q: Will the extra Large vivosmart HR be available before Christmas?
A: I have been talking with Bestbuy and Garmin customer service off and on for 3 weeks about this issue. Finally today after being on the phone for nearly an hour a Bestbuy rep said I could buy it through Summitracing and have it shipped 12.22.15. I know this is not true because the Vivosmart HR is only sold through Bestbuy until 1.1.16. (This was confirmed from a Garmin rep when I talk to them after talking to Bestbuy today.) When I asked if a Bestbuy rep could call or email me with an item availability updated; I was told no, placed on hold and disconnected. (after being on for an additional 20+ minutes) As of today what I do know: 1. Bestbuy (US) will not give an estimated ship date. 2. Garmin can not sell you, me or anyone a Vivosmart HR regardless of size (until Jan 1st 2016) 3. Only Bestbuy can sell the Vivosmart HR XL (until Jan 1st 2016) 4. The Vivosmart HR XL will only be available ONLINE through Bestbuy (until Jan 1st 2016) 5. No one at Bestbuy is able or willing to answer any specific questions about this issue. 6. Contacting a Bestbuy store is the same as contact customer service. They don’t know the answer (that goes right up to the manager) 7. Garmin reps will listen but have answers or control regarding Bestbuys ordering or distribution. 8. At Bestbuy Canada the Vivosmart HR XL is available for pre-order with a release date of 12.18.15. BUT only for shipment in Canada Finally after 3 weeks of hearing “I need to check the Bestbuy website” or “call Bestbuy for updates,” a Garmin rep said they would see what the hold up was and email me by the end of the today with an answer of some sort. (we’ll see) I have very little faith that the Vivosmart HR XL will be available at Bestbuy anytime soon.
Q: Do you have to recharge the battery?
A: Yes. You can go about 4 to 5 days before charging. It comes with a USB cord to charge it.
Q: what is the difference between the extralarge and reg is the screen bigger
A: The band size is the only difference between the regular and X-Large size.
Q: Is it waterproof , that’s what I’m looking for
A: The vivosmart HR has a water resistance rating that would allow for it to be safely worn while in the water. The vivosmart HR could be worn while swimming or bathing.
Q: Will this tracker let you set more then one alarm?
A: Not that we have been able to find. You can set the alarm for weekends or for 5 straight days but not more than one alarm at a time.
Q: Does it lite up in the dark ?
A: yes, if you touch it.
A: Yes.
