Garmin VivoActive - UNBOX

2015-03-27
hey everyone this is Jimmy wouldn't gyms reviewer welcome back to another video now today I got something very special for you guys I haven't done an unboxing in quite some time but with this new product here I felt like I should do something special for you guys it's the brand new garmin vivoactive so here goes let's take a look at the box real quick here I'll show you guys what's included or what's involved on the outside and eventually on the inside here and on the back not much information just basically icons of what this can do now remember if you guys did watch my fitness bands for 2015 I did do a preview and eat garmin vivoactive now one of the unique things about this product here is it's very specific to certain sports now for example for golfing where this it has GPS tracking right on the wrist bring this to your golf course and it's able to bring up that specific golf course and it'll tell you what party on doglegs distance through green etc very very impressive now Garmin didn't really is too much more information besides that besides just a teaser video but that's just one of the things that you can actually do with this and golfing is one of them running of course Swimming's on here biking hiking and a few other media controls email notifications and whatnot and like I said earlier there is GPS built in again not much information in the back here to the right or to the left side of the box here nothing but let's take a look what's inside the box here and get this going for you guys so here's the charging cradle it looks like USB and pretty straightforward here similar to other Garmin products where it uses a cradle where the watch just sits right down there and basically a charges I always wish that these watches would all universally come with micro USB ports some are making its way to the market with that again this uses that charging cradle for you guys now again I did purchase the chest strap together with this overall this is a if I recall here I retail wise 299 dollar package with the garmin vivoactive and the chest strap as well so let's see here so the tres chest strap itself is very soft compared to the last chest strap I used from Garmin it had like a very solid plastic plate going across but this here completely flexible very soft very nice to the touch and here goes the module itself very similar to the polar products as well of course and you just basically snap this on here so it puts a little bit of tension on the back here that's why I couldn't get on right away again the polar products you just snap it in there's really no tension it just flush but this does protrude a little bit where the batteries housed and just a little bit of resistance not better at all I don't think this should be an issue obviously and let's look at the back here where the sensors are pretty cool alright so let me just move this out the way here and take a look at the watch itself let's flip to the back unbuckle it here okay and peel off this a nice sticker here and there we go let me see if I can zoom in real quick here for you guys get a better glimpse of what's going on here I'm sorry this is kind of a guerilla style recording but most of my unboxings are like that now make sure you add me on to facebook twitter or instagram ask me any questions on there that you want answered possibly in the review video once i get that uploaded and again subscribe to my channel as well Jim's review room that way you guys can see the product when it's officially out but overall I'm very impressed it's super thin this is like the thinnest activity banner activity watch you can say that I have held so far very delight ridiculously lights very thin very impressed all together so here with the power button let me press that real quick here and just another button here let's see if it does anything maybe there's a little bit of juice in here all right there we go couple of seconds to load here whoops little vibration I felt a little bit of feedback all right there it is of course you can select different languages and whatnot but I won't go to the settings here I do want to take my time just make sure I go through all these options and whatnot to see what's going on so that's about it let me put out my wrists real quick here and regarding the band itself it is it's soft its pliable it's not stiff but the material feels more like plastic versus rubber very smooth though I like the feeling though it's not a bad thing it's not bad that it's it's not like rubber yeah see there's there's zero stretching like on the fitbit products you do have the band that stretches a little bit this doesn't this doesn't feel like it stretches at all but it's still very thin very comfortable from just initial impressions here and of course the latch style with the buckle here so this should obviously stay on secure no problems and there you go that's what it looks like it let me try to get it in focus here not bad Wow but it's so good I love that at the low profile I mean this is where technology should be heading where it shouldn't be this thick cumbersome product I wish smartwatches eventually became or you know was as this thin as well but this feels really good actually I like it doesn't flex but it feels it feels just like a natural watch that I would wear nothing nothing different it is different of course like I said it doesn't have that last elasticity like some of the other bands out there but that I don't feel like that's an issue for me but overall here we go guys like I said I'll test it out charge it here and well you said it for me your questions Facebook Twitter Instagram and of course add me on YouTube as well if you haven't done so and this was an unboxing a very quick look at the garmin vivoactive
