Does the Vívofit 2 have reliable GPS connection? The activity tracker from a competitor frequently drops GPS connection, even in highly populated areas. Does the Garmin vívofit 2 Activity Tracker maintain GPS connection on long walks or bike rides?

Question

I used to have an UP band before, it frustrated the heck out of me because it would not synch inside my house or in my driveway most days, no matter what I tried. Now, with the GARMIN I have not had a problem at all. I walk in my neighborhood and see the number of steps taken while I walk outside or inside. I am up to date even without downloading. The sleep feature I use some days - I would like for it to switch from one mode to the other on its own, since I forget to do that quite often. The food feature I have never used on either band, seems more involved than it's worth to me. In my case, the Garmin wins hands down.

The Vivofit 2 does not have GPS tracking. You would need to purchase the Vivosmart to add this functionality.

The vívofit 2 does not have GPS capabilities. Although we do carry some fitness watches that have GPS receivers and can also function as an activity tracker, the vívoactive is the only designated activity tracker with GPS functionality. -JPK
