Garmin

Vivoactive

On a given day, you don’t choose between “life” and “adventure.” It’s usually a little bit of everything, with time spent at work, time on the trails, and time in bed, so it makes sense that you have a wearable that keeps up no matter what you’re doing. Garmin’s Vivoactive fits that bill, with everyday features like text and call notifications, playlist control, calendar synching, and social media alerts that go hand-in-hand with training functions like speed, distance, sleep monitoring, and heart rate. Take ‘em all together, and you’ll be prepared to crush whatever the day puts in your path.

Unsurprisingly, the Vivactive can also be highly customized with apps from Garmin’s Connect IQ app store. Every feature you add will show up on the huge, vividly colored touchscreen, which Garmin designed to be visible even under the brightest summer sun. That said, it’s only 8mm thick, so you won’t feel like you’re wearing a calculator on your wrist when you’re out for a group ride, swimming laps, or taking a call.
