Note that before setting up your Garmin Vivoactive HR GPS smart watch, you must download the free Garmin Connect app to your phone. You can also do the setup on a computer, but I find it easier on a phone.

It is very clear what it is: a tracker for serious athletes. This is why some believe that fitness trackers such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2j3miC8\">Fitbit Charge 2<\/a> are for weekend warriors, while the Garmin Vivoactive HR is for serious, dedicated athletes who do a lot of activities, and do them every day. As compared to the average Fitbit, the advantages that the Garmin Vivoactive HR offers include being totally waterproof, and also being useful for more sports, including indoor and outdoor cycling, indoor swimming, snow sports, hiking, running, cycling, and golf.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-74\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-74 tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\"><center>New Garmin Edge Content!<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\"><center><figure id=\"attachment_35728\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35728\" style=\"width: 502px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-garmin-edge-bike-2\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35728\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/5-garmins-table.jpg?resize=502%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/5-garmins-table.jpg?w=502&amp;ssl=1 502w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/5-garmins-table.jpg?resize=300%2C90&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/5-garmins-table.jpg?resize=250%2C75&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/5-garmins-table.jpg?resize=320%2C96&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35728\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-garmin-edge-bike-2\/\"><strong>ALL Garmin Edge Bike Computers Compared in Depth: 130 Plus vs. Explore 2 vs. 530 vs. 830 vs. 1030 Plus vs. 1040<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><figure id=\"attachment_34573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34573\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-530-vs-830-vs-1030-plus\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34573 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/530-vs-830-vs-1030-table-min.jpg?resize=220%2C153&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"153\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-530-vs-830-vs-1030-plus\/\"><strong>Garmin Edge 1040 vs 1030 Plus vs 830 vs 530<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42468\" style=\"width: 426px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-840-vs-830\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42468\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Garmin-Edge-830-840-vs-830-table.jpg?resize=426%2C223&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Garmin Edge 830 vs. 840: What's the Difference?\" width=\"426\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Garmin-Edge-830-840-vs-830-table.jpg?w=426&amp;ssl=1 426w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Garmin-Edge-830-840-vs-830-table.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-840-vs-830\/\"><strong>Garmin Edge 830 vs. 840: What's the Difference?<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-74 from cache -->\n<h3>Which Sports can You Record with Garmin Vivoactive HR?<\/h3>\n<p>The full list of preset sports on my Garmin Vivoactive HR is: Run, Bike, Pool Swim, Golf, Walk, Row, SUP, Ski\/Board\/ XC Ski, Run Indoor, Bike Indoor, Walk Indoor, Row Indoor.

In fact, <strong>it has both GPS and Glonass<\/strong>, for super-fast signal pickup. GPS and GLONASS are different satellite systems \u2013 the GPS was developed by the USA, and the GLONASS is Russian. Glonass is the Russian GLObal NAVigation Satellite System. Speaking to both major satellite systems enables the Garmin Vivoactive HR to find satellites very quickly. This model has been adopted for all of Garmin&#8217;s high end trackers, including the Garmin Edge <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2j5UOfq\">1000<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jBr0rT\">820<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jsIVNt\">520 bike computers<\/a>. Read all about the best selling <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-520-review\/\">Garmin Edge 520 here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>When you choose to record a bike ride, it will begin recording immediately if you are already locked into a GPS signal. However, if you are not, it will seek out a signal, and you must press the right hand button to start recording, once the signal is picked up. The good news is that this should occur within seconds. But don&#8217;t start riding until you see the timer start &#8211; it is very disappointing to do a great ride and then find out that the Garmin was waiting for you to hit Start the entire ride!<\/p>\n<p>The Garmin Vivoactive HR also has on board the most other very important must-have for many serious athletes: a <strong>built-in optical heart rate monitor<\/strong>. This tracks your heart rate 24\/7, for a really comprehensive record of activity and calorie expenditure (with the one exception that it does not measure your heart rate while you are swimming). This built-in heart rate monitor means you don&#8217;t have to wear a chest strap. Many athletes find these uncomfortable, and it also makes it impossible to record a spontaneous bike ride. You have to plan to be wearing a chest strap &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t just happen accidentally!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1156\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1156\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ieaSaz\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1156 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/ajc-wearable-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Garmin-connect-app-interface1.jpg\" alt=\"The Garmin Connect app has a superb interface, offering you access on your phone to a huge amount of information: really comprehensive records of activity and calorie expenditure; heart rate; steps taken; activities done; and hours slept.

At any moment you can also engage the backlight by touching the screen. When cycling, it&#8217;s great to have an interface you can easily see.<\/p>\n<p>In general, you communicate with your Garmin Vivoactive HR with two buttons at the bottom, plus a responsive touchscreen. All of the athlete-friendly features make the Garmin Vivoactive HR very popular among cyclists.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it\u2019s a big watch, not a fashion statement, so it would not be a good choice for those who want a fashionable smart watch that also steps up to discretely track activities on the weekend. For that purpose, a fitness tracker such as the slim-line <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ie0ujm\">Fitbit Alta<\/a> or the feature-rich <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2j3miC8\">Fitbit Charge 2<\/a> would be a better bet. The photo below compares the size of the Garmin Vivoactive HR to the size of the larger size of the Apple watch (42 mm). The Apple watch looks bigger, but to me it actually <strong>feels<\/strong> smaller when wearing it, possibly because it is slimmer. The wrists shown here are small wrists.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1172\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ieaSaz\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1172 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/ajc-wearable-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/garmin-vivoactive-compared-to-apple-watch-7501.jpg\" alt=\"This photo shows the Garmin Vivoactive HR next to the 42 mm Apple watch (which is the larger of the Apple watch\u2019s two sizes).
