Fantastic all rounder: motivates me to improve across main disciplines and could end up replacing my FitBit Blaze!
I'm not a triathlete, nor more than a mere enthusiast for cycling, swimming and running/jogging. But the Vivoactive HR definitely makes me feel like I want to improve in each field. Thanks to the heart rate monitor and GPS, I've been able to push myself through segments where I thought I could improve, and I can see times times tumble and performance more consistent over time.
The swimming is a killer feature - it only works for pools, so not open water. However, whoever goes open water swimming on a regular basis in Scotland will probably want to invest in a wet suit first. The FitBit Flex 2 is the only watch in FitBit's arsenal to track swimming, but at the cost of having no screen, and doing very little else different to other trackers.
I also have a FitBit Blaze, and although I love that as well, this is by far the better featured watch that gives me more visibility over my health and fitness. Having a GPS on the watch saves me carrying my phone every time I want to log an activity. I integrate Garmin Connect with Strava (good for breaking down sectors and other common routes) and MyFitnessPal (food tracker) and they talk to each other like clockwork.
One of the things I didn't like about the Blaze was that I never found the watchfaces to my liking, even after the autumn 2016 update. With Garmin, you can download a number of really useful and cool watchfaces. On top of that, you're able to download developed apps for the Garmin, which include navigation, specific sports tracking, recovery mode, just to mention but a few.
Another plus with the Vivoactive HR over the Blaze, at least in my own experience, is that the Bluetooth connection is several times better than the Blaze. The Blaze is capable of holding up to 4 days of tracking information, but it sometimes takes just that to get the Blaze to talk to either my computer or my Android phone, and that's jumping through several hoops of restarting devices, switching off location service and Bluetooth and restarting them, etc.. With the Vivoactive HR, I sync virtually effortlessly and every time - it simply works, which has saved me so much time and no lost data!
I've worn both the Blaze and the Vivoactive HR at the same time (setting them up for the appropriate hand) for a few times. There's no real science behind these claims, other than observations - I will end the day with about 10-15% more steps with the Blaze, and my heart rate is consistently lower on the FitBit, usually in the range of ~5-20%. This does encourage me to do a bit more so I achieve my daily goals on both systems. However, there's also more heart rate variance in the Blaze, where there are periods of unusually low or high spikes. This skewers low and/or highest BPM, slightly. This is a common problem with optical heart rate monitors, but I feel the Garmin is better at perhaps better at reading and correcting these. Overall, I feel the Blaze flatters me, whereas the Garmin is more "tell it as it is" - I wake up with the Blaze telling me I've done 60-70 steps during the night and the Garmin gives me a straight 0. I'm inclined to believe if I was sleep-walking, I'd know about it by now.
There's actually very few criticisms I have for the Vivoactive HR, certainly none which invalidate its value for money. My top "niggle" is that it doesn't support Asian languages - I learn Japanese partially by having all my devices in Japanese, and I found out after buying it that you need the Asian version. For something that can be easily resolved through a firmware upgrade (or so I believe), it's just the one thing I wish Garmin would do. It's a small point, but it's kind of annoying because I can't read notifications sent from my phone (as thats set to Japanese).
But that's not the point of this watch. I am fitter and healthier, and feel motivated to improve all the time with the help of the data this device records and syncs. The battery even lasts for a few days even with the GPS being used every other day! I'd definitely recommend this to someone who's looking for an amazing activity tracker and does at least two out of cycling, running, and swimming. It's great even as a smart watch, even if you don't do sports, but it would be a bit of a waste.

Good for most purposes, spend a bit more for tougher job
0 of 1 found this helpful Had a bike pedal stuck in a crank, but didn't have an 8mm hex tool to get it out. Got this as a hopeful cheap fix, but ended up rounding off the edges on my first go. Used both similar sizes and ended up the same. I wouldn't recommend this for anything tough, I basically rounded off the edges and bent the thick 8mm one just using my hands. Fine for everyday jobs though. I found chrome vanadium much much stronger.
