Garmin Vivosmart HR+ is the new activity tracker with built in wrist based heart rate sensor and GPS. The HR+ can connect to Garmin Move IQ and can track 24/7 heart rate monitoring, tracks steps, distance, calories, floors climbed and activity intensity. The display is alway-on and is readable under direct sunlight. As expected, the HR+ comes with water resistance (rated 5 ATM). Garmin Vivosmart HR+ is shipping now for retail price of $219.99 and is available in regular size black/shark fin gray, imperial purple/kona purple and midnight blue/bolt blue, and an extra-large black/shark fin gray band.
“With a compelling combination of GPS, wrist-based heart rate, long battery life and water resistance, the vívosmart HR+ was designed to keep up with users’ active lifestyles,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “Wherever your day takes you the vívosmart HR+ is made to help motivate and track all your active moments.”
