Review on πŸ“± Black Smart Garmin Vivosmart HR Wristband by Adam Wawrzyski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

The most affordable bracelet for those who want to be able to constantly monitor their heart rate. How much after the bench press, how much after the deadlift, etc. That is, it is sports equipment, not a hipster wicker like those made by Jawbone or Fitbit. The pulse is measured accurately, the discrepancies with a medical heart monitor (which has seven suction cups) or a treadmill heart rate monitor are + -2-3 beats on average. The pedometer cannot be deceived; when shaking in the subway or ground transport, steps are not counted. The thing is very sensible, taking into account all the possibilities and operating time, the bracelet is definitely worth the money.

Pros
  • 1. Measures the pulse every 10 minutes, by itself, automatically. Also, at any time, you can measure the pulse on request. Able to transfer heart rate data to other devices (for example, to a treadmill). 2. It works for about 5 days. 3. Ability to customize information screens with data and their sequence. 4. Waterproof. 5. Automatically detects running and ellipsoid (orbitrek) activities. 6. Correctly counts steps. The rate of the number of steps per day can be set manually, or you can entrust the automatic determination of the bracelet. You can set the stride length manually. 7. Intelligent smartphone software, intelligent web application. 8. "Fast" charging, in 1 hour. 9. Comfortably sits on the hand. 10. Implemented the ability to receive notifications from the phone (for any application) and read the text of these notifications. That is, SMS, messages from FBontakte, etc. can be viewed on the bracelet screen. During incoming calls, the bracelet vibrates. 11. Implemented "tracking" sleep - you can find out how much time you slept soundly, how much you tossed and turned when you went to the toilet. 12. There is a vibration alarm, phone search, warnings about exceeding the pulse. 13. As part of the application for a mobile phone, the possibility of issuing recommendations is implemented (for example, with large shifts in the sleep period, a recommendation appears on the need to stabilize these same sleep periods). In about a month, you can get a forecast for weight loss at current loads. Or about how much you need to increase the load to achieve the target weight in a limited period. 14. Able to show the weather if connected to the phone, which, in turn, has GPS turned on. The weather data is taken from some Canadian weather station, unfortunately you cannot change the source. 15. Every N minutes, the bracelet reminds you to get your off the chair. 16. Full support for the 2022 language, both for the bracelet menu and for notifications. 17. You can control the audio player on your phone.
Cons
  • 1. The screen is covered with the usual transparent plastic, which is scratched. Rescues a special (designed for this model) protective film. 2. To charge the bracelet, it must be removed from the hand. 3. The charging cable is connected to the bracelet with its own connector, not microUSB. If this cable breaks or is lost, you will have to buy a new one. 4. Synchronization of the bracelet with the phone is performed only if the phone is connected to the Internet. The same applies to viewing statistics on the phone - only when connected to the Internet. 5. Floors count as hell.
