Mrs Nobeer is putting me to shame with her biking and running, she uses her phone at present, but I sense an opportunity for a nice Xmas present...

So, I have the vivoactive hr but that's too big for her wee svelte arms, any suggestions, with similar functionality to the Vivo?

Mucho gracias.

The Tom Tom spark series comes with large or small straps.

The new vivoactive 3 is supposed to be smaller than the previous model though.

Maybe it’s a bid to escape from the Shire and you keep reeling her back in ? 😀

I'm interested that the Fenix 5 comes in a smaller format. My first gen vivoactive fits my lady wrists, but the HR is a lot bigger. The new Vivoactive 3 looks a better size but not seen it in person yet.

Vivomove doesn't seem to have GPS Tracey.

Sorry Geoff, I meant the watch looks too big on her wrist, something less obtrusive is what she'd like.

I got my wife a Garmin Forerunner 35 and liked it so much she just returned the favour and got me one! Seems to cover most bases we need. The strap has holes right up to the watch unit so should fit most people.

Garmin Vivosport seems to be the slimmest model with GPS.

Garmin Vivosport seems to be the slimmest model with GPS.

Slimmest and lightest.

Touchscreen only which is a bit fiddly. GPS life is quoted at 8hrs, I saw about 4-5.

Just a size comparison if it helps:

Vivoactive HR will get around 12 hours with GPS and Bluetooth off, fit skinny wrists too.

I know it fits skinny wrists Drac, as I said above, it looks too bulky on her wrists, I'd like something that looks slimmer.

Vivosport and vivosmart look good, ta.
