Verdict

The Garmin Vivosmart HR Plus is a compact, GPS-enabled fitness tracker featuring an always-on 160 x 68 pixel monochrome touchscreen that remains highly readable in direct sunlight. Key specifications include 24/7 wrist-based heart rate monitoring, a 5 ATM water resistance rating (up to 50 meters), and a battery life of up to 5 days in watch mode or 8 hours with active GPS. Its main characteristics include Move IQ for automatic activity detection and comprehensive tracking of steps, calories, floors climbed, and intensity minutes, alongside smart notifications for calls and texts. Major pros are its accurate integrated GPS for mapping outdoor runs and its slim, lightweight 31g design. However, some users find the device's 15mm thickness somewhat bulky for 24/7 wear, and it lacks advanced training features like dedicated interval modes or custom watch faces.
