Garmin's new Vivoactive HR could be its best watch yet for cyclists

Garmin has already carved itself a strong niche in the cycling world, but this new Vivoactive HR smart watch could take that to the next level. There's constant wrist-based heart-rate monitoring, GPS, an altimeter, touchscreen display and more, for a very respectable price indeed.

The Kansas-based company has spent years making the bike computers of choice for many riders, including quite a few BikeRadar staff. But thanks to the combination of a great feature set, including something called Garmin Move IQ which claims to be able to detect when the wearer starts a new sustained activity like cycling, running or swimming, this new Vivoactive HR could extend that dominance further.

As with many of Garmin's other activity trackers and smart watches, it will track steps made and calories burnt throughout the day, and auto-detect your sleep cycles for analysis on the accompanying Garmin Connect app.
