A small band with a lot of tech
Small for a full GPS tracker ; Good battery life ; Fair heart rate accuracy
Bland design ; No swim modes ; GPS can be slow to lock on
The Garmin Vivosport doesn't have the style of a Fitbit or the high-tech vibe of a Samsung Gear. However, this is one of the smallest fitness trackers that has full GPS/HR tracking and an altimeter. It brings max tracking power with minimal bulk.

This small and unobtrusive wrist-based fitness band does a lot for a fairly little price. It's become a daily driver in our fitness rota.
Small and unobtrusive design ; Decent battery life ; Well rounded tracking ; Can act as heart-rate monitor for other Garmin devices - such as Edge cycling computer
GPS acquisition can sometimes be slow ; No swim tracking support ; Screen a little fiddly at times ; Bespoke charging cable
It might not be brand new, but this capable fitness tracker can integrate into your daily life and record your exercise routines too. Not much is missing for the relatively low asking price, which'll make it well worthy of consideration for those not...

This slim "smart" activity tracker features GPS, a heart-rate monitor, color touch-screen and 15 built-in apps.
The Vivosport packs smartwatch features into an activity-band design that's lightweight, comfortable to wear, and has good battery life. It's fully waterproof and has built-in GPS and 24-7 heart-rate monitoring.
Some of the features are a little difficult to access. GPS can take too long to lock in.
The Vivosport is a good fitness companion for people who want an activity tracker with plenty of advanced features.

This sporty lightweight is part fitness tracker, part smartwatch...
Serious fitness tracking features ; Always-on screen ; Fairly good battery life
Not the most alluring band around ; No support for chest strap HR sensors
This GPS fitness tracker fits more into a small band than just about any other

The Garmin Vivosport is an activity tracker that tracks steps, heart rate, sleep and calories. It also tracks your route thanks to its in-built GPS. But is this activity tracker comfortable to wear and easy to use? Find out more in our Garmin Vivosport...

The Garmin Vivosport doesn't really do much wrong, but it's not my favourite fitness tracker
The Garmin Vivosport is a perfectly competent device that achieves everything it sets out to. It looks okay, has a long battery life, tracks things accurately and has an excellent app for chewing over the data. For £170 it isn’t unreasonably priced for...

GPS ; Heart rate monitoring ; Smart notifications ; Slim / lightweight ; Counts sets and reps
Touchy touchscreen
Don’t be fooled by the small package. Garmin’s Vivosport is a full-featured GPS smartwatch tucked into a fitness band. It’s light, attractive, snappy and features everything most anyone needs for tracking all around fitness metrics. Sure, there are...

Expert review by : Jill Duffy (pcmag.com)
The Garmin Vivosport costs a little more than other sports band-style fitness trackers, but makes up for it in features and functionality.
Comfortable. Easy to operate. Great automated activity-tracking options. Customizable. Supports push notifications.
A little expensive for a sports band. No swim tracking.
If you like the style of the Garmin Vivosport, there's no reason not to get one. It's reliable, durable, and accurate. If you're not sold on the Vivosport's design and would rather get a more fashionable tracker, check out the Vivoactive 3, a current...
