About the Garmin vivosmart® HR
Track, measure, succeed
Track, measure, succeed
vivosmart HR constantly monitors your heart rate with a convenient wrist-mounted sensor.
Counting steps is great, but you'll want to add in some other important metrics about the intensity of your workout to get a clearer picture of your activity. Garmin's vivosmart HR activity tracker features a built-in heart rate monitor that constantly monitors your pulse, making accurate estimates on the quality of your exercise, so that grueling athletic conditioning class counts for more than a trip to the supermarket.
Advanced tracking
vivosmart HR's Elevate™ wrist heart rate technology measures heart rate at the wrist, so you won't need a heart rate strap on your chest. This versatile tracker meaures calories burned and the distance you've traveled, plus — thanks to a built-in barometric altimeter — it can even record the number of floors you've climbed.
Your tracker will adjust your goals each day so you make a smooth transition to a better, more active lifestyle. And when you need a prompt, vivosmart HR reminds you to get up and move after a period of inactivity. Once you've done so, the timer resets and starts tracking your inactivity again.
Integrates with your smartphone
vivosmart HR pairs with your smartphone to automatically transfer data to the Garmin Connect™ app so you can track your progress, join online challenges, earn virtual badges, or just compare notes with family and friends. And the smart notifications feature will alert you with a gentle vibration when you receive a text, email, or phone call.
The cool integrated screen also displays the information — just touch and swipe the screen if you want to read more. You can also control select music players on your smartphone, or even take charge of a Garmin VIRB action camera when you're recording an epic adventure.

Overview: The Garmin vívosmart HR is a water-resistant activity tracker with a built-in heart rate monitor that helps you reach your personalized daily goals. The slender, lightweight device is worn on the wrist, and displays your steps, calories burned, distances traveled, heart rate, floors climbed, and activity intensity. It also alerts you when it's time to move, or when you receive an email, text, a call on your smartphone or a social media alert. It can even monitor your sleep. This regular-sized vívosmart HR weighs about an ounce, and has an adjustable wrist band that is 5.4" to 7.4" in length. An extra-large size is also available.
Elevate: The vívosmart HR is equipped with Elevate wrist heart rate technology. The heart rate monitor is located on the bottom of the activity tracker and continuously measures your heart rate at the wrist. There is no need to wear a separate heart rate strap. The vívosmart HR can be used as a heart rate strap on your wrist when paired with other compatible Garmin devices.
Garmin Connect: The vívosmart HR has built-in Bluetooth Smart technology so you can automatically pair it to your smartphone or mobile device. With the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone or computer, you can keep track of your activities, your daily goals, the calories you've burned, and help motivate you to keep active. You can also share your activities and goals with your friends on social media. The vívosmart HR settings are configured on Garmin Connect, including Time Format (12-hour or 24-hour), Measurement Units (miles or kilometers), Visible Screens, and Auto Goal. Garmin Connect for your home computer is compatible with Windows XP and newer and Mac OS 10.7 or higher.

- Time/Date: Displays the current time, day, and date (can be set manually, or automatically when it syncs up to your mobile device)
- Activity Tracking: Provides a count of your daily step count, floors climbed, distance traveled, calories, and intensity minutes. The move bar displays the amount of time you are inactive.
