[@MahaBasheikh]

This is an especially great and comprehensive review! Seriously, thank you so much!

[@AgostinaVesco]

Hi! How are you? I wanted to know if it is possible to set sessions like for example 10 minutes of running 2 minutes of fast running and 1 minute of walking... do you know if its possible to set that with the app in order to get the program on the watch? Thank you and hi from Argentina

[@Nacknor]

Does the GPS-tracker need a cellphone connected to log the the track on a map or is this done after a run on a PC?

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

It uploads the track to the phone when you sync it afterwards.

[@okaoka248]

My shows very wrong pulse when comparing Polar Vantage M. When it should show my rate 140 it goes down 55?? And when walking slowly down from the hill it returns 100. So its "computer" can not handle high pulses (of course my hand is clean and I've cleaned lence of Vivosport) - very, very disappointed - I went to doctor for it even.

[@MohdKhairulZaman]

Which one is better between vivosport and samsung gear fit 2 pro?

[@anthonyrampino7734]

What wearable do you recommend for gym based exercises?

[@LoveJoshi]

In your opinion, which band has the best HR tracker? I am looking for something that can help with resting hr, recovery hr, HRV, stress, etc. Your expert opinion would help immensely!

[@TechyAgent]

+Love Joshi I love the new Vivoactive 3 for all of those things

[@lukaszpajor]

Hi Eric. Great job as always! Let me ask you... Do new Garmin devices (I mean VA3 and Vivosport) switch smoothly from GPS mode to accelometer while walking? Let's say I'm going for a walk outside and then enter the building (indoor walking). Should the activity be continued or paused (because of the loss of GPS signal) in third specific situation? Have you tried something like that?

[@TechyAgent]

+Łukasz Pajor The GPS doesn’t seem to do well once you walk inside, unless it has a really strong signal. Based on my experience, you would need to pause the workout and then resume once you step back outside

[@danielb.4373]

Hey, really nice review!I'm searching for a new fitness tracker. Mostly i'll play squash and soccer and have some gym based training here and there.How would you compare the vivosport to the fitbit charge 3, which one would you recommend?Have you ever tested the Huawei Band 3 Pro? (which also has GPS included)

[@sonoramike]

comprehensive review, so what wearable would you recommend that does a better job for gym rats w/ lifting, treadmill, hiit, elliptical, etc

[@colinjones9515]

Is it possible to record splits? I have set points on routes where I compare time/hr/hrdrop. I need a button press where a split can be recorded.

[@admiraljamster]

I'm not saying this device is bad but my mother was wearing this device and had a commotion with my brother that was violent for approximately 5 seconds and the strap was torn apart. She merely tried to intercept a fight between my brother and someone else at home. Also my brother is a skinny twig not a massive bodybuilder that can destroy stuff in a snap. After the strap was torn apart, it cannot be replaced and the entire watch is unusable.

[@MauricioY_]

Great review, straight to the main features, specially considering it only took 11min.

[@TechyAgent]

Thanks!

[@ders.]

Does this watch have a pace tracker that can tell you how fast you are running in miles per an hour while you are running? This is very important to me as a cross country and a track runner. Thanks in advance for any comments.

[@TischTosh]

Yes. Sorry you've probably moved on, but someone else may have the same question....

[@YON3484]

Hei Techy... Here againt.... eternity question.... Gear Fit 2 Pro (more display, Samsung, music, change bands) or Vivosport (more conford and small, better monitor for sports, more cheap) for my girlfriend...More important features are: battery, hit cardio or similar and good app for mobile....She has one Note8 too... and this moment has one Charge HR as wearable... I need your experience and opinion... I saw all videos but... I not clear one choice... Thanks for all...

[@TechyAgent]

+YON3484 that’s a great question, in my opinion it’s a close one. For what you need, either these are good fit. I would pick whichever one you think looks better or whichever one you think she we like the look of more

[@stroshow5]

Do you take days off according to the stress score? I've always wondered HRV.

[@TechyAgent]

+stroshow5 I take days off regardless of my score. I do about two days worth of cardio and two days worth of strength training each week, with days off in between

[@Phaewryn_]

I purchased the vivosport and as someone with a 6" wrist circumference, the other models absolutely would never work for me as they are wider than my wrist. I'm disappointed in Garmin that their smaller device isn't ConnectIQ-compatible, so the vivosport doesn't work with other apps like Sleep as Android, which is extremely disappointing. It is extremely comfortable, even though I have fibromylgia and am super-sensitive to pressure. It does have its own sleep functionality, so it's not a total loss, but I really wanted it to work to detect when I got up in middle of the night, and tell my Sleep as Android app not to call me in "deep sleep" during those periods as it wrecks my accuracy and I'm not going to carry my phone to the toilet in middle of the night. Perhaps between the two apps I can figure out all out, but it's very disappointing to me that Garmin didn't make the vivosport a ConnectIQ device! As far as the functioning goes, most of it works good enough. The reps count and exercises for weight lifting are never correct. The running features are far better, and as a general fitness band for steps and "stairs" counting (I live in a very hilly area so it counts my walking on the sidewalk and in my yard as stairs), meeting calorie goals, and getting you to move it works wonderfully. The move bar is great, and you can change how often it alerts you to move if every 15 minutes is unrealistic like it was for me (I have work to do, I can't get up every 15 minutes so I set it to once an hour and it's great and very realistic now). I love the dark themed Garmin Connect app, and it does a really fine job of pulling in my calories eaten from MyFitnessPall, but it does not work both ways: MyFitnessPal doesn't see my exercise from my vivosport. So you can't go by what MyFitnessPal tells you for calories, you have to use Garmin's app. One thing I've found that I hate is that none of these things play nice with Samsung Health. So nothing you do in Samsung Health is counted anywhere else. It's pretty much made me rethink using Samsung Health - an app I previously found very helpful due to their great video-guided exercise routines. If you're a big Samsung Health user, you might want to buy a different band as Garmin doesn't work with Samsung.

[@brianlancaster7024]

So as far is GPS goes, what's the difference between this device, Vivosmart 3, or HR+?

[@TechyAgent]

+Brian Lancaster in terms of accuracy, not really a whole lot. It’s probably the same GPS chip even.

[@tadeuszdziekan4088]

Good review! Is possible to change the battery, when it is dead? Two and half year ago, I bought garmin smart hr+ (240 US$), now the warranty is over, its battery is dead, and I have been informed by garmin support center, that there is possible to change battery.

[@sarahaustin1022]

I like to do spin classes and Bodypump classes and use the elliptical as well as run and walk. Would the cardio activity be able to track my heart rate accurately enough? Love the review - looking for something small to wear as I have a tiny wrist. Thanks

[@TechyAgent]

Yes, this would work well for elliptical, running, walking, and other steady state cardio exercise. The built-in optical heart rate sensor would work perfectly with those exercises.

[@sarahaustin1022]

Techy Agent that’s great. I was concerned about the second half of your review that the watch might not be up to the job. Was also considering holding out for the Fitbit charge 3 but there is no release date and it probably won’t have gps either ....

[@Enn67]

Bought this mainly for the ANT+ that talks to my Edge 520 when cycling. Hate chest straps. Works well most of the time. On occasion thinks my HR is 190+ when it is not. What this watch fails at is counting flights of stairs. Hit and miss. I have spoken with garmin on this, and they ask things like how do you walk up stairs, is your hand in your pocket, on the rail, etc etc. I walk up stairs like a normal human. I can do 10 flights and get a 1 on one occasion. I can do 10 flights and get a 9 on another occasion. It does not counts stairs!

[@dac283]

vivisport i fun BUT belt is week and it breaks !!! and you cant replace him !!!??? my broke and now I cant use him eny more :=(

[@alexunge]

for completeness, it should be added - the strap breaks after six months (on average) and cannot be replaced. it was a bad buy. My first and last garmin.

[@navygirl54]

I have a vivosmart hr and looking for something with a gps but don't want anything big. I am 99% sure this will be my next garmin. I don't like the big ones.

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

I wish it had replaceable bands. I'd like a leather or cloth band, and also an ankle band. I would also like to have the ability to put it in a small belt clip (like a pedometer). I know that the HRS won't work on a belt clip, but there are activities which screw up accuracy (like holding a phone to play Pokémon, or using garden tools when doing yardwork). Of course, a shake-weight would really get the step count up high!

[@thekinaton]

A very poor fitness tracker, steps are 1/3 higher than a manual pedometer, and my old band 2 (which was 30 or so steps less than the pedometer). Updating firmware isn't easy, you need to connect to a PC. Keeps loosing Bluetooth connectivity, says its not connected so no notifications, yet sync and music control works, so no idea what that issue is! Sleep tracking is awful, only seems to track during Preset normal times, which isn't much use, and no way to manually turn on! A fair better device than anything Fitbit has produced, but not on par with the now defunct Microsoft Band!

[@Carlomagnus333]

Which one is better, Garmin Vivosport or Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro?

[@joseeduardotschen9186]

Great review! As always seeing them even though I wouldn't buy this device. Keep on doing this excellent work!!

[@TechyAgent]

+Jose Eduardo Tschen thanks Jose!

[@mikeyho1413]

I am a high school student that plays soccer and is starting to get into running. Therefore, to track my runs and measure my daily fitness, I want a fitness tracker with gps but I am very puzzled on which one to get; the Xiaomi Amazefit pace 1, or the garmin vivosport. The components that I am looking out for between these two trackers are: -the price -durability -size (I have small wrists so I don't want to watch to be a nuisance during running and soccer training) If you could give me a recommendation that would be great.

[@simontse3748]

Can the band be replaceable, and detached? Can anyone make a video to show up with the four little screws behind unscrewed to demonstrate how to replace the if it could be, because it is so important to considerate before to purchase it. Thanks a lot!

[@maharajaasura]

How accurate the gps

[@J_Runs]

When using the GPS feature outside do you need your cell phone near by or can you leave your phone behind ?

[@tomshep5258]

you can definitely totally leave your phone behind buddy, the first time you go on a run/cycle it will take 5 mins for the gps to sync and then its synced forever, you then save that workout and when you go back home it will sync it straight onto your phone/app

[@lucyfoster4082]

tom shep will you at least know your distance before you sync, or not even that?

[@fetis26]

hey, Vivosport or Polar A370? and not only as device but as ecosystems as well. I got impression that Garmin Connect has more features, but at the same time your review about Polar is better.

[@TechyAgent]

Yeah, in general I prefer the Garmin devices and ecosystem, however I like the A370 over the Vivosport. I think it has a better heart rate sensor. The downside is that it doesn’t have built in gps. But the Polar has more sports profiles, and I like the app is not as detailed, but it’s more intuitive and the layout is better

[@glennispage1585]

How do you rate the vivo sport for automatic tracking?

[@Chrislawmy]

Hi I'm looking for something for running and can sync back to my Nike run history. Any recommendation?

[@mudonsunday]

Hello! Can I pair the heart rate feature to show on my Garmin Edge cycling computer? Thanks.

[@sherylbuck7377]

i have gearfit 2 it keeps tracking calories burn even though it charging so im in the hunt for something better... does this vivosport will do the job ?

[@cyrilpena4010]

What do you think of Whoop strap 2.0 vs Garmin Vivosport ? Do you will make a video of this?

[@annairb3]

This was a very helpful & informative review. I think this helped me get closer to my decision.

[@MichaelTomko4]

I'm a cross country and track runner for my school. I'm debating between purchasing this (vívosport) or the vívosmart HR+. Which would you recommend? Aside from the color screen and Stress Tracking, what are some pros and cons of each?

[@franklinnguyen6390]

Hey im also a xc and track runner at my school. What did you end up purchasing/choosing and why? Im between these two trackers as well

[@tink.7107]

How does Vivosport compare to vivoactive? Is there a good reason to go for the vivoactive watch instead of the vivosport band?

[@johnchappe315]

Can it track swimming ?

[@sk-op3xi]

John Chappe yes it is swim proof

[@omarhanouni8554]

Could you please advice if the Vivo sport allow users to turn off the always on display and have the screen turn on when you look at it?

[@jeannieradford5398]

How do I reset my settting for daylight saving time? Set my Garmin vivosport

[@rosiwellify]

Just bought it and I have picked up some useful hints

[@javaidmujtaba6973]

Garmin Vivisport vs Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Which one do you recommend? I'm looking for a fitness band that can track my HR, sleep and other daily metrics. I play a lot of sports and workout 3-4 times a week so need a tracker that can give me some accurate data that I don't have to charge every other day.

[@TechyAgent]

I would recommend the Samsung over the Garmin Vivosport.

[@javaidmujtaba6973]

Why is that? I've been using fit2 pro for a month and I'm not impressed. I got the vivosport a few days back to give it a shot. Would the vivoactive 3 be a better option? Again I'm not a big smart watch guy (I've turned off phone notifications on both my devices) I just need a good accurate tracker for multi-sport activities.

[@Asrekhan]

Having problem with my vivosports. Floor climbed doesn't seem to work. I have tried many times but fails to get anything it is just stuck on zero. I have gone through many forums and tried to find the barometer holes in case they are blocked but so far I couldn't locate them. It will be great if someone can point me out exactly where barometer is located.

[@tomshep5258]

maybe yours is broken or not synced properly because mine works fine

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

Show us how to turn on and start the stopwatch! Not something yo can do in the real world of sports.

[@TheLateral18]

Thank you I think the small screen is a deal breaker

[@entplady]

Thank you for your opinion! It helped me a lot with my decision!

[@scudino89]

what about the alarm, does it stop with the touchsreen? or is it like fitbit which shuts the alarm automatically after a period of time? (wich sucks by the way)

[@TechyAgent]

+Nicolò Scudieri You have to disable the alarm with the touch screen. I haven’t seen how long it will go before automatically shutting off, but it’s at least over 30 seconds

[@machsi1900]

Will you be reviewing the polar m430? Reviews i have seen say its hr sensor is accurate and reacts quickly to changes in hr. Thanks and keep up the great reviews. Cheers!

[@TechyAgent]

+ma ch Si I had planned on it but haven’t had the chance so far. There have been so many other reviews that I’ve been trying to get caught up on!

[@oleksandrholovko7331]

Can you help ? What device would you recommend for the football(soccer) player? For training)

[@TechyAgent]

The Vivosport is good, also the Garmin Vivosmart HR+

[@leonfadljevic5794]

What results can we expect for inside rowing cardio training? In your opinion or experience of using this watch, would the HR sensor also produce good results?

[@TechyAgent]

Good question: i’ve never done testing of these kinds of sensors exclusively on a rowing machine, so now you have me interested in doing such a test. Sorry I can’t answer your question now, perhaps I will be able to in a later video.

[@mikeyho1413]

When you go on runs, do you use your phone for music or a watch with storage? Also if it's the watch, what watch is it? Also very insightful and entertaining review!

[@TechyAgent]

Right now, when I run, I actually use my Apple Watch with the Strava app. It allows me to use one watch to capture gps, stream music to my Bluetooth earbuds, capture my heart rate data... and do all of that without having to bring my phone.

[@superpippo25]

Good wererable..but a bit overpriced....

[@ArtzFenix]

Great review and a big thumbs up for Bubba Gump :)

[@TechyAgent]

Haha! Thanks!

[@omarhanouni8554]

Hi Eric. Thanks for another great review. Like you said the huge selling point of this device is the stress score on a small band. Do you know other bands with stress monitoring that allow music storage?

[@TechyAgent]

Sorry, I don’t know of any others.

[@aliffothman7792]

I hope you can review Xiaomi amazfit pace or huawei fit

[@LL-kp8jm]

Amazing content. When I go for a run or jog do I have to have my phone on me for it to keep track of where Iran and the distance?

[@xunlinkx]

No, you don't need your phone - your phone will sync with it later and map it out and calculate the distance from the data recorded on the Vivosport!

[@NYCnapeHb]

Do you think the Vivosport 2 is coming anytime soon? Addition of music and NFC would’ve been nice 👍

[@TechyAgent]

I would not be surprised to see a new version with music and wireless payments before Christmas, but that’s just pure speculation on my part

[@NYCnapeHb]

Techy Agent That would definitely blow Fitbit out of the water with stand alone GPS on top, just wish they improved the design for a more durable one(band breaking). Thank you for the insight.

[@juliaw1527]

[@aprovleptos85]

does it have heart rate zones alarm??

[@louiepinnell2048]

[@yng9016]

Thank you for the great review. Wonder if this watch records any swimming details, such as laps, distance and so on.

[@TechyAgent]

+Y NG unfortunately not, that feature is reserved for the Vivoactive or better devices

[@kendraorndorff7642]

Very detailed review! I will skip this one for sure. I now have the apple watch series 3, for the last 5 days. I am loving it! IT tracks everything I do. I use the new Polar OH1 optical HR sensor when I exercise. By the way the Scosche Rhythm + HR monitor did not work for me, I went through 2 of them, and they kept giving me HR readings of 33,000 BPM at random times during my workout. The Polar OH1 has been spot on all the time, with whatever exercise I am doing. Keep up the awesome reviews Eric!! Have a great weekend!!

[@TechyAgent]

+Kendra Orndorff You beat me to another device! Lol! The Apple Watch will be one of the next ones on my list! If you approve, that makes me excited to give it a go. That sucks the Scosche didn’t work, but glad the Polar is doing the trick.

[@curtisb2841]

Eric, are you planning on reviewing the Polar OH1?

[@TechyAgent]

+Curtis B yes, once I get past all of the reviews on my current list, I will definitely check out the Polar OH1 and compare it against the Scosche and also a chest strap

[@Tintoycar]

does it have swimming tracking?

[@mesharialhindi2064]

Tintoycar no

[@ront.9414]

I'm looking for a basic heart rate monitor that I can use while cycling or weight training. Preferably not a chest strap type. Also, I don't want to have to pair it with another device. What would you suggest?

[@TechyAgent]

+Ron T. I like the Scosche Rhythm Plus. You can check out my review here on KZbin.

[@ront.9414]

Thanks Scott

[@koftaboy]

Can you please recommend a tracker with all these features and a blood pressure sensor ? Thanks

[@TechyAgent]

Unfortunately there are not any fitness trackers that offer a blood pressure sensor or reading that I could recommend. That technology is still very much being developed and we probably won’t see it come out for another year or so

[@nefl.3420]

Thanks for your review. I wish I saw this video before getting the Vivosport watch for Christmas. I’m a cross-fit enthusiast eager to track reps and cardio activities. I also wear glasses except when working out. I agree the information on the screen is hard to see. It’s also hard to activate the start and stop functions.

[@baiasbianca5644]

which one is better for everyday fitness band Garmin vivosport or fit bit charge 3?

[@TechyAgent]

I think the Fitbit Charge 3

[@Alanicus1]

Probably the Garmin, as the Fitbit woefully overestimates the number of steps covered. Fitbit also only has connected GPS which is decidedly hit and miss

[@baiasbianca5644]

thenks for the answer, but the Garmin can't change the bands and I sow a lot off people they break them in 3\6 month, then for the fit bit people said that it put them steps in driving and standing and sleeping, so I decided to try amazfit bip, has 30 day battery, display alleyways on, the only thing that I don't like is that it don't recognize me biking if I don't start a session for it

[@silviorgusaar4905]

[@Food4thought1234]

If you haven't gotten one yet I would recommend the cheaper Vivo 3. It does all the same things, but no color or GPS. If money isn't an issue, they go for the color. I personally just love the format of the App and the simplicity of the device. It also vibrates if you aren't moving enough for long periods. Also, you have to sync it and I found that a little annoying. Anyway hope you enjoy it.

[@melvinch]

Does it have swimming metrics ?

[@TechyAgent]

+Melvin Chong unfortunately not, you have to upgrade to the Vivoactive lineup in order to get swim metrics.

[@jazzsnare]

Has optical tech gotten to the point that a wrist band is comparable to an upper arm band or chest strap for HIIT in particular??

[@TechyAgent]

Unfortunately not

[@IonicCascade]

think the Vivoactive 3 is a better choice for HIIT WODs and connectivity

[@TechyAgent]

+Ian McNabb Absolutely. The Vivoactive 3 is an all around better device, but it does cost $100 more

[@IonicCascade]

+Techy Agent it might cost more, but I believe the features are well worth it since it's quite similar to the Fenix 5 in a slightly smaller package for half the price

Hi, great review! Could you please let me know which of the two? Polar a370 or garmin vivosport? Which one is a better all around fitness tracker? Is a370 more accurate with hr? But then vivosport has a built in gps.. And some extra features like barometer and Vo2max which could be useful to me. From the apps? You like the polar or the garmin one more? A good thing about a370 is that i can pair it up with my H10 chest strap whenever i want to have a serious accurate training. I really dont know what to do please help! Feels like whichever i choose i will lose something.

[@TechyAgent]

I would say that your assumption is correct: the Polar has a better heart rate sensor but the GPS on the Garmin is better.

Vivosport or Vivosmart HR+, what is better choice?

[@edgarperez7219]

Barometer? Did you mean altimeter?

[@TechyAgent]

It’s actually a barometric altimeter, meaning it uses a barometer to detect air pressure to determine falling or growing altitudes.

[@hodetziegler2093]

hi techy ,which would you suggest polar a370 or garmin sport?

[@TechyAgent]

It depends: if you are doing gps distance-based cardio like running and cycling, then the vivosport. If you are doing mostly gym based exercises and lifting, then the Polar.

[@hodetziegler2093]
