With this tough battle, reports suggest that Garmin Vivoactive HR is the clear winner.
According to Wareable, the Garmin Vivoactive HR is a Forerunner, Swim, Approach, Fenix and Edge all in one watch. It is considered that jack-of-all-trades in more ways than one. This smart watch is ideal for those who go for a leisurely morning run, golf players and Sunday walks with the family.
