    Great watch! I bought it when it was on a pretty good sale and after having it for over a month it's worth the MSRP. I use mine mainly for weightlifting and just keeping track of progress everyday. Great screen, apps, options and it looks good too.

    So far so good. Great fitness watch. I have small wrists and haven't had any issues. I actually like the screen size, and it's pretty cool that it has some cool apps and personalized watch faces. The sleep monitoring is great, and pretty accurate.

    I got this for my husband as a Fathers Day gift and he loves it! He had been training for an IRONMAN and needed something that would work during each event including the swim! It worked even better than he expected! He would recommend it to anyone.

    Great tracker with horrible screen

    I bought this to replace a fitbit blaze because it is waterproof and had onboard GPS. The screen is very dim even on the highest setting when you are not outdoors in the sun. This was a deal breaker for me. The watch feels good on the wrist and the watch works as described. I understand part of the exceptional battery life comes from the dim screen but it is unreasonably dim.

    A great product that keeps improving. After owning a few Fitbit I gave up on the poor workmanship. I when back to Garmin because of their reliability and great service Excellent!

    I really enjoy my new watch. It does everything I expected and more. I have had a Garmin GPS for over 10 years and it is still as good as new and I expect this watch to give me just as much great service. I would recommend this to anyone.

    I've had Fitbit and Tomtom before and Just got the Garmin a few months. I must say it's easy to use. The GPS tracking is the best on the market. The graphs and tracking on individual item such as sleep, and heart rate are very accurate. The big reason I got it was it's waterproof. No need to take it off before I shower or getting into the water (I'm a sailor and Iike to swim) This was always a huge pain with the other trackers. The app for the phone is very well designed. Getting the text messages to show up on the phone is a nice plus. Overall, great smartwatch.

    I've bought fitness trackers before (Fitbit charge HR) and this blows that away. It does everything you could want and more. Like many said there is a lot of information which can be overwhelming compared to the simplicity of the Fitbit app, but also underwhelming if you don't know where to look. It takes a little time to get used to but then it's pretty easy. I love all the information available and I feel it's very accurate overall. Great battery life as well, truly lasts a week! Only downfall is it's slightly bulky but understandable for what it does.

    Exact the smart sport wrist bend I wanted.

    I have owned a few Garmin wrist bends, but they were just the basic functioned bend. So I have a wrist watch and the bend. Vivoactive HR gives the function of a watch as well as a sport bend, allows me to wear one device only. It also has many built in activities to meet my exercise profoilio. Besides the long battery life is awesome. Garmin shown the life of 8-day, I am getting almost 10 days with one or two hours outdoor GPS events.

    Great tracker but hard to read in low light

    I tried the fitbit but the HR was way off and didn't work with a chest strap for more accurate HR information. The Garmin is so much more accurate even without the chest strap. There is an amazing amount of information on the software that is tracked. Everything graphed and very useful to monitor activities. Would get a 5 star if the screen had a brighter back light for low light situations. It can be hard to read indoors.

    I purchased this product for a Christmas present. So I cannot honestly give a review, but I did research before buying and decided on this one instead of the FitBit 2.

    I bought this because I have a Garmin 610 that I used frequently that was in need of some updated (bad band - starting to chip - scratched up) and I wanted something that would also record my daily activity (steps, etc) while also being able to do daily workouts (running, biking) and that included GPS for outdoor running and biking. This achieved all of those things - in a nice watch with a nice display. Used it for a 204 mile bike ride (two days) while tracking on GPS - worked great (recharged it after the first day). When out for a serious ride or run I connect my external heart rate sensor and bike speed and cadence for accuracy. There are settings for indoor running and biking. I have not used swim or golf yet although I have downloaded my often played courses. Watch is easy to read. I like getting my iphone messages on my wrist. Sleep tracking w/ quality is interesting although I don't understand how accurate it could be. I love it and would recommend it.

    Good fitness watch that tracks activity. Only drawback is the sensors on the back point out too far making an uncomfortable fit resulting in looser wristband fitting
