The Garmin Vívomove HR activity sensor goes below €80 at Boulanger.com, a drop of around 49% on the price usually seen. It is currently one of our best value for money for small budgets.
Garmin expands its range of watches with the Vívomove HR. Under cover of a design for the general public, this watch offers useful measurements for everyone, but also for occasional sportsmen.
Garmin Vivomove HR
- Ergonomics
- Interface and uses
- Autonomy
Between two categories – simple activity sensors and real sports watches – the Garmin Vívomove HR scores points with its sober but unifying design, as well as its fairly advanced measurements. A few points that could be improved, in particular the readability of its Oled screen in the sun, and the absence of GPS, prohibitive for demanding athletes, should however be considered before purchasing it.
Strong points
- Design.
- Simplicity of use.
- Waterproof (can be used for swimming).
- Clear and intuitive Garmin Connect app.
- Autonomy.
Weak points
- Lack of GPS.
- Legibility of the second screen in bright light.
- It is up to the user to interpret the measurements.

Huami Amazfit GTS

- Application
- Uses and Accuracy
- Autonomy
Offered for an unbeatable price, the Amazfit GTS is a connected watch with several strings to its bow. It offers a very clear display of notifications and offers up to five days of battery. Unfortunately its too light finishes and its average performance end up limiting it. However, it differs from the Fitbit Versa 2 by the presence of an integrated GPS. The American watch has a better quality heart rate monitor. It will thus be necessary to decide between the two terminals according to the expected use.
