A:AnswerI use Vivofit 3 to count steps while on morning walks and throughout the day. Where I live, there are no stairs to climb unless visiting a hospital and not using elevators. Pay attention to swinging the arm with the fitness band. Each swing of the arm (even moving the arm standing still, waiting to cross an intersection, or jumping) is counted.
A:AnswerIn order to achieve a high level of corrosion resistance, stainless steel is used on the vivofit 3. Stainless steel alloys contain small amounts of Nickel. Although the parts comply with EU Nickel Release limit standards for metals in continuous contact with skin, people with Nickel sensitivities or allergies may still have a reaction. The vivofit 3 module is contained inside of a band so it is unlikely that any mental in the device would touch the skin.
A:AnswerAbsolutely! I have it for my 12 year old and she wears it all the time. It's waterproof and doesn't have to be charged. It has a battery that lasts 1 year. After that, you'll just need to change it.
