The Garmin Vivosport is a GPS-enabled activity tracker with features you typically find on higher-priced sports watches.

Comfortable; Embedded GPS; Swim-rated; Music controls

Sensitive screen; No interchangeable bands; Bland design

Garmin hit the market hard this year with their newest lineup of wearable tech. Garmin's smartwatches, the Vivoactive 3 and Vivomove HR , plus the fitness tracker Vivosmart 3, which launched earlier this year, have taken most of the spotlight, but one other Vivo- device is worth talking about: the...

The Garmin Vivosport doesn't really do much wrong, but it's not my favourite fitness tracker

Well it works as advised. Water proof and had gps at a reasonable price. That is what I was looking for.

The guy at NFM really pushed this as better than the Fitbit products. I've had Fitbit's in the past, and they are way better than this piece of junk. The GPS is VERY slow to connect, and sometimes doesn't work at all.

It's light and I can weir it during the day. But I don't think the battery can maintain for 7 days, only 50% battery left after 2 days, and only 30 min gps was used.

This is a review of the site description not the product itself. I did not know there were 2 sizes: small/med and large. There's no where to specify what size you'd like to order. There's no choice. If you're going to offer just one size (I received a large) please say so in the description.

It's not very good at reading stairs (I get credit for well less than half the flights I climb), and quite poor at documenting total feet climbed while cycling. I run Ride with GPS simultaneously and the Vivosport picks up only about half the feet climbed, though the mileage is fairly accurate.

The Garmin Vivosport is a fitness band with the fitness credibility of a larger runner's watch. It has GPS, it has a heart rate sensor, it even has an altimeter and shares an app with the Garmin Forerunner 935 .

Small for a full GPS tracker; Good battery life; Fair heart rate accuracy

Bland design; No swim modes; GPS can be slow to lock on

The new Garmin Vivosport can be considered a follow up to one of our favourite GPS-equipped fitness trackers in recent years, the Garmin Vivosmart HR+ . It now has a slightly more fun design, alongside a new colour touchscreen display.

Comfortable design; Accurate GPS and HRM; VO2 Max estimations; Good battery life

Rep counting is still tacked on; Washed out display; Slightly buggy automatic exercise tracking
