Review: Garmin Vivosmart HR Heart Rate Tracking Fitness Band

Apple dropped their Apple Watch bomb earlier this year, outselling every other smartwatch before it…put together. Garmin has been making some smart moves with their Vivosport line over the past year or so, and like many other tracker makers, they’ve stepped up their game with heart rate monitoring, releasing the aptly named Vivosmart HR. It’s a watch-like band with a heart rate tracker, a connected app and website, and it comes in at a reasonable price. Is it your next fitness tracker? Let’s find out.
