From the company that has been developing robust, dedicated
wearable technology to improve training metrics for athletes for
more than a decade comes the GPS smartwatch for the active
lifestyle. Introducing vívoactive — the ultra-thin,
lightweight smartwatch with built-in Garmin sports apps that you
can wear every day to help you keep a healthy balance between
work and life.
From Work to Workout
Play harder, work smarter, live better with vívoactive.
Built-in sports apps keep you active while smart notifications
allow you to stay in contact with pressing work matters —
all so you can keep your life in balance. The high-resolution,
color touchscreen stays readable in direct sunlight, so you can
view your stats when you step out of the office for a run. The
ultra-thin profile — 8 mm — is comfortable to wear
all day and can easily transition from office to golf course. You
won’t have to worry about vívoactive keeping up with
your active days. The rechargeable battery lasts through all your
activities with up to 3 weeks5 in watch/activity-tracking mode or
up to 10 hours using GPS.
Built-in Sports Apps
vívoactive features built-in sports apps that track your
stats — even when away from your phone. Simply tap to
choose among GPS-enabled running, golfing and cycling apps plus
swimming and activity tracking.
Hit the Ground Running
Whether you’re training for a 5K or just for life in
general, the running app uses GPS to capture essential running
data such as distance and pace. A built-in accelerometer and
wrist-based speed and cadence trackers eliminate the need for a
separate foot pod when running on an indoor track or treadmill
and also when GPS is unavailable. You can set up vibration alerts
for heart rate¹, pace and run/walk intervals. Other training
features include Auto Lap® and Auto Pause®. Automatic
sync with Garmin Connect™ Mobile gives you a post-run
summary, including calories burned and if you scored any personal
records, such as your fastest or longest run to date.
Get In Gear
The GPS-enabled cycling app measures time, distance, speed and
calories. Compatible with sensors² such as speed, cadence
and heart rate monitors to measure your progress on training
rides as well as daily commutes.
Tee Off
Pair with your smartphone³ to download course maps from
Garmin's golf course database — with more than 38,000
courses worldwide — to play favorite and new courses. The
golfing app keeps maps updated and tallies hole number and par.
GPS measures layup and dogleg distances, as well as distances to
the front, middle and back of the green, to improve usability
over the entire hole. Individual stroke play scorecard lets you
see if you’re under or over par. Measure shot distance at
the press of a button. Round timer counts up time on the course,
while the built-in accelerometer tracks your steps.
Dive In
Auto Length accelerometer-based technology automatically gauges
total and interval distance; laps; calories burned; session
average, interval and length pace; and stroke count, including
number of strokes per length and interval and session averages.
Let the swimming app calculate your efficiency with swolf, which
adds the time and the number of strokes it takes to swim a pool
length. View your time and interval distance at a glance.
Interval Count lets you seamlessly pause and then resume your
workout.
The thin profile cuts through the water, and its 5 ATM water
rating means you can swim, sweat and shower with it on,
worry-free.
Step It Up
vívoactive follows your progress even when you’re
not engaged in a specific activity. The activity tracking app
tracks your steps to learn your current activity level, then
assigns an attainable daily step count goal. As you meet your
milestones, the device will adjust your goal for the next day.
The red move bar appears on the display after 1 hour of
inactivity and builds when you’ve been sitting too long.
Just walk for a couple of minutes to reset the move bar. Set the
sleep mode when you go to bed and vívoactive will monitor
your rest. It also tracks your calories burned.
Stay Connected
vívoactive gently vibrates to alert you to all the same
notifications you receive on your compatible Bluetooth-enabled
device4. Receive caller ID and missed call information for
incoming calls. Text messages include sender information and
message. Email messages come with sender and subject.
vívoactive also displays notifications from Facebook®,
Twitter® and other social media platforms, as well as other
mobile apps, including weather alerts and temperature. Simply
touch and swipe the screen to read more, or clear the screen with
the press of a button.
Advanced Smartwatch Features
vívoactive lets you control the tunes on your music
player, locate your phone and let your friends and family track
your activities in real time with Live Track. You can also
remotely control your VIRB® Elite action camera.
Custom Apps and Watch Faces
Personalize vívoactive with free downloads from our
Connect IQ store. You can customize your watch face, add data
fields and get apps and widgets that provide information at a
glance.
Challenge Yourself

activities with automatic syncs with Garmin Connect Mobile. You
can earn virtual badges for extra motivation, join online
challenges and connect, compete and compare with friends and
family around the world. View your history and stats right on the
smartwatch.
