I like everything this tracker does especially that I can read texts, emails& know when I'm reviewing a call when I'm not using my phone ringer. A lot for the value- like better than the Fitbit. It's even waterproof so I can keep it on day - night. Only needs to Chg and hour or two once a week. The only thing it's missing is a heart rate monitor which would help when I go to the gym.

I love the Garmin Vivosmart - It was very simple to set up and connect to my phone. I can review my progress quickly and easily through the "Connect" app (which is free to download). The band didn't need to be trimmed or batteries installed like the FitBit brand. Best of all it quietly VIBRATES (without sound!) when I get a text or call and to tell me to get up when I sit too long. Then it lets me know when I've met the "minimum suggested movement" amount so I can go back to my desk and continue working. I only have to charge it every 4 days or so and it charges quickly. I have small wrists, so I love how it is sleek in design (not bulky like some others), plus it is very comfortable to wear. The Vivosmart is worth every penny!

I have very small wrists so I got the small and it fits perfect! I keep it a little loose and I am right in the middle of all the dots. I chose the Garmin Vivosmart over the other activity trackers for a number of reasons and so far I am not disappointed. I didn't like how bulky the other activity trackers were on me and they all seemed to be too wide on my wrist so I was never able to get it tight enough (there was always gaps). Tracking sleep and activities is fast and easy as well as accurate. I am 5'5" and had my Vivosmart track my run. It tracked me at 2.9 miles but the run was actually 3.1 miles. Since I have longer legs compared to a normal 5'5" person I adjusted my height to be 5'6" and it ended up being pretty much spot on! I haven't had to use the phone tracker feature yet but it's only a matter of time since I loose my phone all of time. I also love the smart watch features on it which was another big selling point for me. Charging the unit is simple and fast (2 hr charge time). I wasn't sure if I was going to like that but I just make sure to charge it when I know I won't be moving around for a while (it is also the only time I ever take it off). I also like that it will tell you to move and if you don't it keeps a running time of how long you have been sitting which definitely motivates me to do something. Overall I am very pleased with this!
