Third-party reviews

What customers like about Viita Active HRV Tachymeter

  • Premium build quality featuring sapphire glass and a stainless steel housing.
  • High water resistance rating of 100m (10 ATM), suitable for swimming and snorkelling.
  • Long-lasting battery life, with users and specs reporting between 10 days and 2 weeks of use.
  • Unique health features like personalised hydration (dehydration) recommendations and stress analysis.
  • Attractive, classic luxury watch aesthetic that doesn't look like a typical fitness tracker.

What customers don't like about Viita Active HRV Tachymeter

  • Significant software reliability issues, with some early backers reporting that many features 'nothing works'.
  • No Always-On Display (AOD) functionality.
  • Reports of long delays and poor communication for crowdfunding backers.
  • Bulky design that may be too large for some users.
  • Limited app ecosystem and lack of advanced integrations like Strava synchronisation.

Verdict

The Viita Active HRV Tachymeter is a luxury smartwatch featuring a 47mm stainless steel housing, anti-reflective sapphire glass, and a 1.54-inch digital display with a resolution of 320x290 pixels. It is defined by its focus on heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, offering specialized tracking for stress, regeneration, and daily hydration needs, alongside built-in GPS and support for 19 sport modes. Major advantages include an impressive battery life of up to 2 weeks (or 7 hours with continuous GPS) and a high water resistance rating of 10 ATM (100 meters). However, notable drawbacks include the lack of a built-in microphone or speaker for answering calls, no NFC for mobile payments, the absence of an always-on display, and no blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring.
