amazon Garmin Vivosport reviews
Garmin Vivosport is a new fitness tracker at IFA 2017 in late August and early September – replacing the Vivosmart HR + with built-in GPS connectivity and new features like:
24/7 Weight Watchers: Scoring (1-100) and low / med / high scores are your constant stresses and stress levels.
Score concentration VO2Max / Physical age
New Relax / Breathing Relaxation: A breath-taking guide that relaxes your mind when you are stressed.
Strength training: Count’s rep for certain gym activities
Continuous 24/7 HRS: Heart rate monitoring 1s / session similar to Fenix5 / FR935 / Vivosmart3 / Vivoactive3.
Many clock face options: add some limited clock face options
Stopwatch / Countdown Timer
Auto-start for running Jogging / Walking: Automatic tracking without any cumbersome operation
Adding Rep Counting: Tracking rep and even the ability to assign weight in the gym.
Slimmer design: 4mm reduction compared to Vivosmart HR / HR +
The above features also appear on Vivosmart 3 – the same as the Garmin fitness tracker but released earlier, in early 2017. So, where are they different? These are the impressive features present in Vivosport that Vivosmart 3 does not have:
Always-on display: The screen is always on, ready to keep track of wherever you are
Shown more clearly
Battery life: 7 days in smart mode, 8 hours in GPS mode
Sports Profile Enhancement: Outdoor version for walking, jogging, cardio, and cycling
More Jogging / Walking distance mode: For intensive practice and detailed planning
Added Auto-Pause: Used in sports modes
Add LiveTrack: Thanks to GPS
Add Auto-Activity Start: Automatically tracks walking and jogging activities, moving data straight into the schedule in Move IQ.
STANDARDIZATION OF TIN:
MONITORING 24/7 – 99% accuracy
External factors affect the accuracy of the heartbeat you need to know: skin color, hand densities, posture, and how to wear the device on the wrist (most importantly) – that is, you should wear it. Make sure that the optical sensor near your wrist is not too tight.
MONITORING TIMES IN TRAINING
Tested with Garmin Vivosport: various exercises ranging from short steps to interval and tempo in running and cycling.
Results: Vivosport reads the heartbeat exactly inferior to the ‘Forerunner 935’ and other sensor straps.
The ability to record will often be slightly erratic in the first 5 minutes of the exercise because the body has not fully adapted to the activity; this is extremely common and occurs in most of the equipment from previous to now on. And Vivosport is no exception.
On the whole, the heart rate data that Vivosport provides to users in the sport, physical fitness to 98% accuracy.
However, Vivosport is not the ‘true half’ of outdoor biking. So if you’re a professional cyclist or cycling enthusiast, consider using the Forerunner 935 or the Fenix 5 Series instead of the Garmin Vivosport.
GPS STANDARD:
External factors affect the accuracy of GPS: the density of trees, houses, and the weather of the surrounding environment.
And the secret to testing the device’s GPS is not to wear multiple products on the same wrist because, at this moment, the connection waves will be disturbed, causing erroneous results. If you have to do so, wrap a thin piece of cloth between the two devices at a distance of about 3cm.
In addition, wearing more than one device simultaneously on the wrist will also affect the accuracy of the optical heart rate monitor.
For the accuracy of the GPS in Garmin Vivosport, it’s pretty good, with only one to two meters from the other reliable devices.
