comment: batch update
* I'm a big fan of having [[Cadence]] alerts, which are easy to set up. I'm pleasantly surprised that this feature is included on a watch that has generally been crippled.<br/>[[File:Vivoactive (20).JPG|none|thumb|300px|]]
* Here's the cadence alert going off, along with a vibration.<br/>[[File:Vivoactive (19).JPG|none|thumb|300px|]]
* I was surprised to find the Vivoactive has support for Garmin's temperature sensing pod, the [[Garmin Tempe]]. This is something generally only found in their outdoor range. There's no built in thermometer, but I find they don't work well as your wrist is typically at a different temperature to the ambient air.<br/>[[File:Vivoactive (8).JPG|none|thumb|300px|]]
* The Vivoactive can be charged on the run, which makes is a candidate for ultrarunners. You have to set the Vivoactive (and some other Garmin watches) to "Garmin Mode" for it to work when charging the battery on the run, but once you do it works nicely.<br/>[[File:Vivoactive Charge.jpg|none|thumb|300px|]][[File:Vivoactive (11).JPG|none|thumb|300px|]]
* I rather like the ability to configure how long the vibration alerts buzz for. It's a small feature, but nice none the less.<br/>[[File:Vivoactive (10).JPG|none|thumb|300px|]]
