VivoActive Handheld GPS Review

I bought six smartwatches/activity trackers (all returned) before finally stopping there. Others were too difficult to read without a reader (age 55), didn't easily display dates, or didn't track what I wanted. I knew this applied to all of them, but thought I was only interested in the steps. It turns out I like having all the data I can get. With Garmin you get a free statistics service. I don't know if they are as good as the others but they are good, professional and store a lot of data for you. This watch is reliable! I haven't worn anything on my wrist since my last Garmin activity tracker which I bought years ago and wore last year but not that long ago. I type a lot of things with this watch. The glass in this watch is the best. I just cleaned it this morning and was impressed by how clean and scratch free it is. My last two activity trackers broke pretty quickly. In fact, the latest activity tracker I tested had its screen ruined by the material of my jacket! Terrible! The screen of this watch is amazing. I love that I can just plug this clock into my computer (USB cable) and it will charge AND act like another drive on your computer so you can just put music on it like you would any other folder would. on your computer. That's easy! Music control is nice! I like going to the gym. The only thing I don't like is that I wish the stopwatch function was a bit more accessible. I listen to music at the gym and use the 90 second TIMER to know when to start again. The problem is. When the timer is on, it's harder to get to the music controls. I would be happy if I could switch from timer to music control and back faster. Trust me this scammer is no big deal. It's only something you find fault with if you use something every day. :) I'm pretty sure I bought a bigger strap and I have 8 extra strap holes. I'm a male with an average wrist size and could probably buy a small strap and be happy with that. Nice watch. I don't have time to write more, but it's worth at least the first test drive to see if you like it. I bought it used and it arrived in perfect condition. I had an issue with my headphones losing connection and I factory reset the watch (no data loss) and it worked again. I've been using Garmin for years and will continue to use them until they do something stupid. :)

Pros
  • Hands-free
