A smarter smart watch: the Garmin Vívoactive HR
The Garmin vívoactive® HR is part smart watch, part fitness tracker. It tracks your activity and stats all day with its GPS-enabled built-in sports apps, and smart notifications allow you to stay connected to your iOS and Android devices. It tracks your calories burned, daily steps and sleep, and can now track floors climbed, too. The highlight feature is that it can measure your heart rate from your wrist with the new Elevate wrist heart-rate technology. Its water-resistant technology and battery, which can last up to eight days, will also help keep you moving.
