    Well worth it, it might be a little bulky, but it's a swiss army knife of smartwatches. I was mostly after the swimming feature and so far no disappointment there.

    I was looking for something that I could wear mainly while working out, hiking and running. This watch as been great so far. I'm looking forward to the weather cooling down so I can really utilize it while hiking

    Great for Moderate Runners

    This watch is a great asset for a moderate runner (I run 25-40 miles per week). The GPS usually connects quickly and it keeps pretty accurate and helpful information. However, it sometimes does strange things, like not all of my text messages come through for some reason. I have yet to pinpoint why this is happening, but it usually fixes itself. I love the wireless sync option. I had the FR 25 previously and I had to plug that in to sync. Overall a great product for the money!

    Like this better than a Fitbit because it counts laps when I swim. It also stays charged longer and recharges quicker.

    Lots of bells and whistles at descent price. Buy the extended 2 year warranty. Mine lasted 1 year and 9 days before dying untimely death in neighbor’s pool.

    Not only have I called the Best Buy store with questions on how to extend my service plan, I called geek squad and Best Buy corporate customer service. I live over an hour away from the store I purchased the watch from, they require you to return. Unacceptable. Last purchase. Garmin is amazing. Never again Best Buy. My advice is, buy online; That is exactly what they are pushing me to do. They didn't get how irritated I was, now ask me to review my purchase... Smh.

    Have used the Vivosmart HR for about 2 weeks now and it is just a very well rounded fitness watch. The heart rate sensor is accurate enough to get in the ballpark for intensity. The smart notifications have worked perfectly with a Galaxy Note 4. Some of the customizable apps and watch faces work well. And to top it off, it can be used as a basic Golf GPS on the course after loading a course from phone. Only very small gripes are the screen resolution is not as nice as a Gear Fit 2, but it is accurate, the Garmin and MyFitnessPal apps work well for tracking, and it is pretty comfortable.
