It is equipped with the standard fanfare, like a heart-rate monitor (which comes with an accompanying chest band for a more accurate reading), GPS and a touchscreen display (which is readable even in direct sunlight). The Vivoactive also offers interchangeable watch bands, which users can switch according to what activity they're performing.
