Customer Ratings & Reviews

LOVE this recent upgrade! I’ve had every Vivofit model from inception. Very pleased with the functions & ease of use. I wanted a smart watch that wasn’t too complicated & this definitely fit the bill. Happily surprised that this watch will vibrate with incoming phone calls EVEN with my phone on silent. I’m notorious for accidentally missing calls so this has definitely helped me to know when my phone rings. Additionally, I can signal my phone to sound off if I happen to have it on silent & misplace it. I did purchase some aftermarket full-screen protectors on Amazon because I wear it with the face on the inside of my left wrist & am pretty rough on things.

Don't waste your money on this. The tracking is ridiculously inaccurate. I do the same workout every day and I never get the same results. One day my heart rate can be in the 160s and other days, I'm fighting for my life on the incline and it's just like "your heart rate is 110 =)". Obviously it's not that low if I'm about to die. It also only tracks the oxygen for a few hours at night. It stops HOURS before the time I set to wake up. The timer for workouts is also off. My treadmill times the workout and this watch loses about 5 seconds for my 20min workout. It may not seem like a lot because it's a small scale, but if an actual watch lost over an hour every week, it would be a big deal. It also doesn't register that I am awake if I get up at night to use the bathroom. Somehow it accumulates steps from the time I go to bed until I wake up, yet it doesn't register being awake. I've made sure it's tight enough and in the appropriate place on my wrist. This watch is just garbage. Photos of EXACT SAME workout two days in a row and oxygen not being tracked hours before waking up.

Light weight and easy to use. It is more than i expected, this little watch has helped me get better sleep and losing weight. Most of all it is helping me understand my stress and i have been learning how to lower my stress. Overall very happy with my purchase.

I had the VivoSmart 4 for 3yrs before the battery started failing and I was so happy with it and the features i got the 5! And no drop whatsoever, I only have to charge it every 3-4 days and love all the features. #HighlyRecommend

Got this as a backup to my Withings watch. It is much better at measuring exercise (step counts, swimming laps) but much worse at measuring vital signs (overnight O2, heart rate). Definitely a decent backup, though, and I now wear it for exercise measurement purposes in addition to the Withings watch. I am probably spoiled, but my Withings watch lasts for at least a week and up to a month, so the 2-3 days the Garmin manages is less than impressive.

Bought this to track my sleep. It’s comfortable for a small wrist. Messages are hard to read so I turned off notifications. Battery like is pretty good, lasts 3-4 days with a lot of activity logging.

Super lightweight and not bulky. Wanted something simple to monitor heart rate and calories burned, and it’s perfect! Works well with my lose it app, and the sleep tracking is neat too.

Thing is great, for the most part. Offers most of the features of a watch style fitness tracker in a smaller package. Has Garmin's newest heart rate sensor and gives better sleep tracking with sleep score. GPS comes from your phone, which is fine for something of this size. You also get all of Garmin's data without the need of any extra monthly subscriptions, unlike Fitbit. The only caveat that makes this a 4 Star product is they removed the barometric altimeter from the VS4, which removes its ability to track stair climbing. It would also be nice if there was an always on feature for the OLED screen to read the time. If these things don't bother you, this is easily a 5-Star product.

The Vivosmart has been good so far. I was frustrated though that it wasn't ready to pick up at the store next day like the website said when I was ordering. It took a few days to arrive and I discovered I couldn't cancel the order while it was in transit. Moral of the story - Best Buy website available times should be treated with suspicion.

Great simple tracker that includes more functions that you might expect. Simple to use and a useful app to monitor trend details. Love the sleep tracker insights.

I've had it for two years now. It covers a lot of health metrics for the price and is pretty durable for workouts and everyday wear. The unit can be taken out of the band for cleaning. Drawbacks: the touch screen can be finicky, especially if your body temp is up high or if anything is smudged on it. A few times the heart rate monitor has failed to pick up my heartrate accurately during a workout and once it froze in the middle of a strength training session so I couldn't use the set function and had to completely restart it to get it unfrozen. The band can irritate the skin on your wrist if you don't keep the underside clean and wear it too tight. I don't enable the PulseOx function so it's able to run about about 6-7 days between charges and charging it fully takes less than an hour.

I absolutely love my new fitness watch. It's sleek and attractive while keeping time, noting activity, sleep, and tracking other health factors. Setting it up to sync with my Android phone was easy. I'm very happy with my purchase.

The watch is comfortable and easy to use! I wish the charge held longer.

Easy to use and nice to have to help keep track of health

I'm a first time fitness tracker user. Purchased the vivosmart thinking it's an entry level device. I've had it almost a month and finding it of little use. The interface and the free app are poorly designed; the tracker especially is not intuitive, not logical. Functionally, tonight I was up and moving about the house for at least five minutes when the tracker buzzed and told me to get up and "Move." Really? That warning is usually the most helpful thing for me, prompting me to get out of a long walk. Battery life is very disappointing, so I turned off the oxygen reading. Sleep info - I had four hours of sleep one night and in the morning the device told me my sleep was "long and restful." Really? It's a neat toy, for the price and expensive toy. Yes, I will keep it because I'm not a fitness fanatic and I don't want to buy into the bit named world of personal tracking and I don't want monthly payments. The Garmen app, tho hard to understand is at least free and will link to my phone's GPS.

It keeps track of steps fairly accurately. It tracks heart rate and oxygen.

So far so good! It does everything I need. I used to have a Versa 1 and then a 2, but they kept having issues, but I liked it alot, however after so many problems, I wanted a more reliable device, particularly waterproof, and this one does pretty much all the same things. Very happy. And it looks nice.

It's not a bad watch. I like how long the battery lasts. It's small and skinny so doesn't get in the way. Wasn't super fond of having to download an app for it. Certain things require the app to be opened like if you want to track a specific activity or if you want to see your sleep score since everything has to sync from watch to phone. It's good if you want a minimal watch, but honestly I'm just going to get an Apple Watch. Apple Watch just works seamlessly with iPhone. Also - this watch has to be within like 30 ft of your phone for it to stay connected. It doesn't just work off the same wifi like the Apple Watch. Basically if you have iPhone, I recommend the Apple Watch. But the Apple Watch doesn't compare to this watch's battery life. This watch says great for athletic tracking but I disagree.

I have been wearing the Vivosmart 5 for over a month now. To my surprise, I have been wearing it 24/7 and have found it extremely informative and 99% of the time comfortable. When it does become a little uncomfortable, I take it off for about 20 seconds, put it back on, and adjust the band. Data I never tracked is now at my fingertips: heart rate, stress, body battery, and breathing rate. I have turned off almost all notifications, so the battery lasts more than a week per charge.

I've had this for roughly a year now and I've gotta admit, it's not as good as the Vivosmart 4 was. It's been wildly inaccurate about my sleep, but everything else has been accurate... I do not sleep 48 hours a day, Garmin. Been toying around with the idea of upgrading it for the last few months, and I'm not sure I'll stick with Garmin. It's a shame, the Vivosmart 4 was incredible and I was able to prove that I had heart failure with it's help! Disappointing that this didn't live up to my expectations. Still, I was able to get other color bands on amazon so you're not stuck with the color you get, and it's accurate for other stuff... just not sleep for some reason or another.
