Customer Ratings & Reviews

This vivoactive Garmin is pretty good. The only issue is the accuracy is kind of off when running on a treadmill, which is not a big deal.

I upgraded to to Hr model and thus far I love it!! I really like the heart rate on my wrist and it fits my wrist better and my old vivofit

The Garmin Vívoactive HR has great battery life, is easy to use and set up. It has a large screen, able to easily read alerts, texts, tracking, etc. It is larger than I expected, but I did get used to the large band since I am a female. I have used Garmin devices for years, including the fitness trackers and Garmin offers great support and stands behind their products. Make sure you get a screen protector as the face is large and could easily get scratched.

Great battery life which last 5-6 days. Monitor heart rate too.

After doing a lot of research, I selected this watch. I swim, bike, and run, so this was a good fit. Had everything I wanted at the time. My only complaint is that it is a bit dim, but I have gotten used to it. Would be nice if it had music storage and playback like some others. That would make it cost more though. In all, I am very happy with this product for the price.

The functions of this are great, but it's just too bulky to wear all the time. I'm pretty bummed.

Tried both Apple Watchs before returning and switching to this. Durability, battery life, & accuracy all in one.

Has numerous capabilities but must download everything except some basic watch faces. If buy look for online tips to help personalize.

So far, so good. This smart watch was an upgrade from the Garmin vivofit and I love it. It's not too bulky and it is easy to navigate.

Loved it. Held up to some great surf sessions, long runs, and swims. Messsges and alerts are easy to read (easier than the Apple Watch)

It has been a great product for really monitoring my training in addition to my health stats. The feature of it being water proof as well has also been great as I try to be diverse in my exercise routines and don't have to be afraid of getting it wet or even dirty. Only reason I don't give it a 5 star is that I feel it could have been priced just slightly lower.

Great for heart rate monitoring and GPS. Has some nice features

I replaced my broken MS Band 2 with this watch and really like it better. It keeps accurate tracking of hiking and walking and displays it on a map online. A good replacement of the MS Band

I specifically waited for the watch to be released. I read the reviews and finally purchased it a week or so after it was released. I definitely like the watch and its motivated me to exercise more. I've used several features of the watch including walking, biking and swimming. I've integrated to post activity with Strava and with my fitness pal to record food. All work quite well. Being 6'2" I don't have any reservations on the watch size. It's easy to read in the sun and in the dark. My only complaint is that it's hard to set the swimming pool size because the length of my pool is 27' and it only allows preset yards or meters. I like the "move" feature to tell me to get up and walk around and I've found that setting the alarm wakes me most days so I don't wake up my wife with an audible alarm. The Garmin Connect app works well with it. It was easy setup and the desktop dashboard is nice to see progress.

Display and battery life worked as advertised but had some difficulty syncing software to pc

I really like this watch. It has a lot of features and the Garmin connect app is very user friendly! I like that you can connect with other garmin users to challenge each other for steps!

As a fitness tracker, this thing is perfect! My girlfriend has a Fitbit Surge, and the Garmin blows it out of the water when it comes to GPS reception. I use it for biking and running, and everything is flawless, and syncing to Strava is painless. The only shortcoming is the "smart" features. The options are limited and less than optimal. You can see messages, but can't respond. You can pause and skip music on your phone, but you cannot browse music. You can answer calls on the watch, but you still need to talk into the handset. This is not an Apple Watch, and it doesn't touch that kind of functionality, but that device does not have GPS. That's why I went with the Garmin, and I am happy I did.

Good product. Easy setup and readability. If you have a small wrist, it looks big on the wrist. Otherwise it is a good purchase.

I purchased this Garmin Vivoactive HR Smartwatch after consulting with friends, family and websites. It does everything very well. I love the GPS function which is built in. It's much more accurate in tracking my hikes in the woods than other units I've used. It's a little on the big side (I don't have large wrists) but it certainly isn't too big. The additional apps available are pretty good but I feel no better than those that come built in the unit itself.

This is a fantastic fitness tracker. It can do multiple sports, just not at the same time. Run tracking is very accurate as well as bike tracking. Swim is good, but not the most accurate. I have not tried some of the other functions like rowing or golf. I have added a hiking app. It is accurate and gives some great stats. I used this watch for 9 hours of hiking in the White Mountains with the app constantly on and still had battery left the next day!
