Customers are enthusiastic about the Vivosmart Activity Tracker's long battery life, ease of use, and comprehensive notifications. Many appreciate its water resistance and accurate step tracking capabilities, along with the comfortable fit and useful sleep tracking features. However, some users experienced issues with the display size and Bluetooth connectivity. A few customers also noted that the device lacks a built-in heart rate monitor and that the software could be improved.
I purchased my first Garmin Vivosmart close to a year ago. Since that time I have returned it 4 times for the same reason, the OLED screen will go out. I read that OLED screens go out 4 times faster than standard LED screens. Also they are more sensitive to water, even if the vivosmart is supposed to be waterproof to 50 meters. Other than that one major flaw, it is an awesome device. The only problem is without the screen it is basically useless. The OLED does allow the device to be thinner and sleek, which makes it one of the most attractive fitness bands on the market, but not at the expense of not having a display at all. My wife's and my sister in law's have also gone out. So that is a total of 6 devices that I know of that have this issue. I feel like it is a much broader issue, yet I don't think Garmin has addressed it publicly. They really should do a recall on all of them.

In addition to reading steps, this activity tracker does my heart rate accurately, notifies me of text messages, telephone calls, facebook posts, speed when riding bicycle, and can even find my phone.
