We’re excited to today announce vívoactive HR, a GPS smartwatch with Garmin Elevate™ wrist heart rate technology. It will be a great XMAS2016 present as, by then, all the bugs will be ironed out. It will probably fall £/$50 relatively quickly and stabilise. That’s superficially not too bad a price, fair in fact. You’ll have to wait until late Spring 2016 and you’ll fork out $250/£180 or thereabouts to get hold of the Vivoactive HR. So this may be one of the reasons for a nice spike in Garmin’s share price over the last week or so after the Q4 earnings call – actually it’s not, the real reason was that analysts’ expectations were exceeded NOT that the results were better/worse than prior quarter or same quarter last year – now you know. ![]() The VIVOACTIVE HR is nice, real nice.Īlthough if you look at the VIVOFIT 3 variants of today’s other announcement, you will see they didn’t entirely change the design team. Garmin have struggled with the aesthetics of several devices previously. To top it all off, it would even get my “seal of aesthetic approval” – should such a thing exist which it doesn’t. Look at the possibly-photoshopped screen below…NICE resolution. It will even rebroadcast ANT+ HR to, say, your Forerunner 630 or Edge 520. GPS, optical HR (ELEVATE technology), many sports, proper activity tracking and a smartphone link. The VIVO ACTIVE HR ticks ALL the right boxes. ![]() After the awful-looking VIVOSMART HR Garmin have just announced the confusingly similarly named VIVOACTIVE HR (not to be confused with the also-announced VIVOFITT 3)ĭon’t get the two err three (or is it two?) confused. ![]()
