QuestionHow much GPS tracking information can be stored to sync with the phone later? Ex. Go for a run with just the watch. Then sync later.
Asked 9 years ago by JohnH.
- Answer We don't have a published number since the file size for an activity can vary (due to sensors used, length of activity, etc). However, the file for a recorded run is usually under a megabyte, so the vivoactive HR can easily hold dozens of runs.

QuestionCan this track distance for swimming outdoors, such as in a lake or river, by using the GPS and not in contact with a cell phone?
Asked 9 years ago by JohnH.
- Answer No, the vivoactive HR does not have an open-water swim activity profile (although it does have a pool swim profile). If you are looking for a device that does track open-water swimming, I would recommend looking at the Forerunner 735XT or the fēnix 3. -OA

QuestionPre order the the X-Large?Why can you pre order the regular size but not the X-Large? Follow-up question...When will I be able to pre order the X-Large?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No idea why they want me to answer this but they emailed me asking for me to help and I am here. Hopefully this 2.4 year old dilemma has been resolved. I’m guessing it was product availability but who knows. Slows gnomes at Garmin assembling in the dead of night?

QuestionSo why can you order and regular and not a xl? All that is different is the band length. And when you can best buy Garmin etc. No one has a straight answer. Pretty ignorant I'd you ask me.
Asked 9 years ago by Anonnn.
- Answer I think that the issue must be availability and not the XLR band as an option. I purchased mine with an XLR, so I know it's an option.

QuestionMy wrist measures about 7.5 should I go with the XL or Regular?
Asked 9 years ago by Tpop.
- Answer I would recommend the regular size. Although you could wear either size, you will be close to the minimum for the XL, and thus have a lot of extra band. You can see our full sizing chart at the following link: http://bit.ly/GRMNSizes -OA

QuestionDoes the heart rate on this watch display in Strava or any other app in real time
Asked 9 years ago by Henry.
- Answer The vivoactive HR has the ability to capture and store heart rate data. This information can then be transferred to Garmin Connect and Strava, but the information will not be displayed in the apps in real time. The data can be transferred wirelessly through Bluetooth after the activity is complete.
