Garmin Vivosport

Advantages: fitness features notifications garmin connect appearance

Disadvantages: small screen price in RF

Comment: The main criterion when choosing a device was fitness capabilities. After a week of use, I can say that the bracelet in general copes with this task. The choice of activity, tracking the distance traveled, monitoring the pulse and sleep provide all the necessary information. There is a visual (albeit somewhat cumbersome) mobile application for a detailed examination of the training results. We were pleased with the notifications of calls and SMS from a smartphone. A very useful thing. Disadvantages. The main problem is the tiny screen with scattered widgets and inconvenient navigation between them. What else? Long setup (pedometer, workouts, etc.), strange readings of sensors (calorie counting is in great doubt) and reliability of heart rate readings at high values ​​(> 170 bpm). And of course, the price in the Russian Federation. To understand how much this device actually costs, you just need to go to Amazon. Total. Garmin vivosport is a great option for those who appreciate functionality and who are not ready to shell out several times more for a professional smartwatch. My rating: 4.5.

Advantages: Convenient for everyday use. Comfortable bracelet. GPS availability. Small size. Moisture protection. 5-6 days of work on a single charge (if not using GPS). There is an automatic mode for starting the workout (for example, you can configure that a workout starts a minute after the start of walking).

Disadvantages: There is a lack of the ability to refuse a call with a return SMS and read SMS.

Comment: Long time to choose what to buy.On the one hand, I wanted functional for training (periodic jogging in the air, bicycle, gym), on the other hand, I wanted convenient communication with the phone. The choice fell on Garmin vivosport. The device is compact enough for use in the gym and for everyday use, while it has powerful enough functionality to track its condition. When I was choosing, I found out that not all devices are capable of measuring physical indicators at the moment of immediate activity (nonsense, but a fact - if you want to measure your heart rate while jogging, you have to stop :). After running with this device, you get a complete picture of your training: route on the map, heart rate at each point, speed (max, average) and a number of other parameters. In general, I recommend.

Advantages: I chose this gadget for fitness training. I needed a heart rate monitor, and counting calories and steps is also interesting. He counts the steps quite clearly, I find it difficult to say about the calories. The heart rate monitor worked well for a while, and then glitches began. On cardio workouts at the beginning of the workout, the pulse seems to be correct, after some time, the number of heart beats decreases on the gadget. Sometimes it even shows 54-60 and this is in the midst of training. Then, after a couple of minutes, it can show the true values ​​(150-160). During strength training, it shows the same heart rate as at rest and counts calories accordingly. The case is waterproof and can be safely used in water (but not diving). Clearly synchronized with your phone.

Disadvantages: The heart rate monitor is buggy. The accuracy of the calculation of the clarius is in doubt because of this.

Comment:

Advantages: functional. I was looking for a bracelet with a constant measurement of emergency and GPS - I got everything. I searched for satellites for a long time only the very first time. dimensions. invisible on the hand, got used to it quickly. I met comments about the excessive sensitivity of the sensor - not noticed.

Disadvantages: battery. enough for 4 days (measurement of HR is included, notifications plus a couple of runs). would have lasted up to a week - ideal. no smart alarm clock.

Comment: I do not write the price into disadvantages, you have to pay for quality and accuracy. in general, the device is happy as an elephant. from the wishes - to expand the meager set of dials, the battery charge is shown only on one.
