I have researched different activity trackers for one year! The Garmin Vivo HR definitely has everything that I need and that I was looking for! I love the big screen, adjustable straps, vibrate alarm to alert you to move, or to wake up!! And it has a backlight! Easy to connect through Bluetooth. I love that it monitors my sleep. The heart rate monitor is accurate at rest. I did check my heart rate after a workout and it is accurate- it was off by 1-2 beats. My heart rate was 160 but the monitor was at 159 --not bad. At least it did not over estimate. The app had some Glitches, but it is fixed. Garmin customer service is great and so is geek squad. I do recommend you putting a wrist sweat band like under armor over it if you are going to weight lift or work With Dumbbells and it can hit the screen. I did call Garmin- They say it's A pretty strong durable screen. I did recommend them to Come out with a protector for it, just in case. Last but not least it is water resistant. You can swim and shower with it- but I have not yet. I take it off During those times to charge it. The battery life if pretty good. I don't have to charge it everyday. It was a week before I had to charge it! I was amazed. If you are looking for a good Garmin for fitness this is a great tracker. For serious runners- look into the other Garmin models! I'm not a serious runner so I chose the more affordable Garmin! I'm so happy they came out with this one. I was not a fan of the heart rate monitor strap and it was Ridiculously expensive! That's why I love this tracker!!

I upgraded from an entry level tracker. The Vivosmart HR is comfortable to wear. The only time I take it off is to shower & charge it. Otherwise I wear 24/7. The heart rate seems to be accurate. I regularly compare to the heart rate monitors on elliptical at gym. They are normally within 1-2 beats of Vivosmart. I really like the intensity tracking feature. It challenges me to exceed the weekly target. I have it paired with my fitness pal app to track calories. It needs to be recharged every 5 days. The battery icon comes on to let me know it needs to be charged. I am very happy with this device. I like the notification & weather features.

I love it. I have no issues with it. I originally purchased the Samsung band because my sister loves hers and it was on sale for half the price during Thanksgiving. However, I have a Droid Razr I got almost 2 years ago (contract up in March) and the Samsung band just didnt give me full features because I dont have the official Samsung app. Never the less, I sold it to my friend and went and got this one. I downloaded the app with ease (it automatically updated the software upon connection). Set up was simple. Make sure you wear it right behind the wrist bone as instructed and it tracks my heart rate just fine. The "move" feature is nice. Reminds me to get up and move. My text messages come through great even when I am on the other side of my office building. So, no issues with Bluetooth. I plan on getting the new Droid phone in March and I suspect I will not have any issues setting it up. I like that it connects to my fitness pal and the cross over is great. This band sets obtainable goals. I have not been reaching my step goal everyday and it has been decreasing the step goal so I can have an obtainable goal. I suspect it will increase once I start reaching it. The sleep monitoring is working great. you dont have to tell it when you go to sleep or when you wake up. The times are marking on point. I havent had any issues with the band. I did put it on too tight at first and it made my wrist sore. So I loosed it one notch and its perfect. I have no reaction to the band as far as a rash. My friend I sold the Samsung band to got a rash from it. I got the purple band. Its such a dark plum color that some people think its black. but the color comes through depending on what color I wear. At least its not an obnoxious color. Guess its personal preference. You cant change the band on these and it is limited in colors but I dont mind. Overall its exactly what I wanted and is keeping me mindful of my activity. I would definitely recommend to someone who has a Droid phone and wants these features. Not sure how well it works with apple. I would definitely recommend the Samsung band to those with a Samsung phone. It has cool features like color and reply texts but not good for any other phone.
