New Garmin smartwatch - Vivoactive HR

Nope they just fobbed me off saying some activities won't be tracked.

I'd seriously consider updating the firmware if you haven't already. 2.74 is now available and is getting high praise. I'm 99% confident you will see an improvement. Although the changelog doesn't address the issues you are having, the general performance fixes being applied are obvious.

I think I'm going to today and see how it pans out.

How did you get on?

Ran out of time. Hopefully tomorrow.

Does anyone else's Garmin get confused about weekly Intensity Minutes. Mine resets itself on both Sunday and Monday, then work fine for the rest of the week.

Also got the VAHR, put the VIVOLCD face on it which I like a lot. Face seems to small at first but quickly for used to it.

SW is on v2.90 already so it moved on sharpish.

Amazing how soon I got used to the notifications coming through on the watch too.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of buying one of these.

Can you tell me if it will work with an indoor exercise bike? If it does, can you tell me the stats that it will provide?

Thanks

Forgot about this thread!
My VAHR hasn't registered a single floor in months now. No idea what happened with the latest auto update?!? I live in a two floor house but apparently not walked up or down a single set of stairs.
Also it's still rubbish at recording pushing a buggy or holding kids.

Hi mate,
It records all heart rate data, calories burned and time.
