Garmin Vivosmart HR + GPS

vÍvosmart HR+   (Author Gary Rosenberg)

The Garmin vívosmart HR+ is Garmin’s latest 24/7 activity monitor with wrist-based heartrate AND GPS! This watch has Garmin Elevate, which is Garmin’s own best in class wrist-based heartrate technology along with GPS making it the smallest GPS watch on the market.

It comes in 2 sizes – Regular (5.4” – 7.6”) and X-Large (7.1” – 8.8” – Black only).

 

The vivosmart HR+ has all the same features as the vivosmart HR plus GPS and Move IQ.

Features:

  • Rechargeable battery - up to 5 days without GPS and up to 8 hours in GPS mode
  • GPS enabled o Run/Walk Alert o Virtual Pacer
  • Wrist-based heartrate
  • Ability to broadcast wrist based heart rate data to other compatible devices that work with ANT+ heart rate monitors  - some examples are: Edge 520, Forerunner 230, Virb…
  • Move IQ - Automatically track your walking, running, biking, swimming and elliptical training throughout the day without needing to start a timed activity (it takes 10 minutes of the activity before Move IQ will record it as that activity
  • Waterproof to 50M
  • Displays time/date, steps, distance, heart rate (wrist-based), calories, floors climbed, activity intensity and alerts you if you haven’t moved for at least 1 hour - For each additional 15 minutes of inactivity, a smaller segment will be added
  • Sleep monitor
  • Auto sync (through smartphone)
  • Backlight
  • Vibration alert
  • Always on, sunlight readable touchscreen
  • Activity Timer (run, cardio, other)
  • Smart notifications (with a compatible phone) - Calls, texts, emails, calendar events and other notifications
  • Smartphone locator (Find my phone)
  • Control music on a Smartphone
  • Virb remote
  • An Auto Goal will be set based on the user’s profile with a screen of how many steps they have taken out of their goal     -  The Auto Goal can/will change daily to keep the user motivated   -  There are also goals for Intensity Minutes and Floors Climbed that are manually adjusted
  • Move Bar - Why is it important to know if you have not moved for at least an hour? There have been many studies that suggest that even if you exercise regularly; sitting for prolonged periods has been increasingly linked to many health problems. (The Move Bar will let you know when it is time to get up and move around)
  • Distance - The vívosmart HR+ has a 3 dimensional accelerometer which is used to count steps (compared to a pedometer which uses a 1 dimensional accelerometer). It uses the user’s height from their profile to calculate their stride length. Because of the 3 dimensional accelerometer, the vívosmart HR+ knows when the user is moving faster (running), so increases the stride length to better calculate the distance being covered. GPS is used for distance when a Run activity is started
  • Garmin Connect (Modern) - The vívosmart HR+ can have its data uploaded to Garmin Connect just like any other Garmin fitness device.  Here you can see your steps, sleep, badges, leader boards and other data related to the vívosmart HR+
  • Wireless Sync - Using a compatible phone with Bluetooth Smart (BLE), vívosmart HR+ data can be wirelessly uploaded to Garmin Connect using the Garmin Connect Mobile app
  • Data can also be uploaded through the USB charger and a computer using Garmin Express
  • MyFitnessPal – This is a calorie counting journal App that you can input the food you eat to see how many calories you are consuming per day
  • Garmin Connect Screen Shot Samples
