vívosmart

We all spend too much time on our butts, but we don't have to take our all-too-sedentary lifestyles lying (or sitting) down. Garmin's Vivosmart won't burn calories for you or help you get fitter while you sit, but its tracking capabilities and gentle reminders to get up and move will help motivate you to ditch your chair and get after it.

Garmin designed the Vivosmart to record daily metrics like steps taken, distance covered, and calories burned. Its Auto Goal feature introduces new goals as you pass the previous targets it sets for you, and everything is automatically recorded to your Garmin Connect profile for social sharing and more careful analysis. Even cooler is the inactivity alert, which vibrates gently after an hour of down time to remind you to get up and move around for a few minutes, because studies have shown that even intermittent walking can help produce fat-burning enzymes and speed up metabolism.

The Vivosmart performs plenty of other handy duties, too, like displaying text, call, and email alerts, the time, and up to five alarms. A built-in Find My Phone feature helps you, believe it or not, find your phone, and the nighttime setting monitors your sleep movement, which helps you track your rest and recovery. Garmin made sure this little beauty was waterproof to five ATMs, too, so you can safely record the calories you burn doing all your shower dance moves.
