    I loved the features but it was just too bulky for all day everyday use. It got pretty uncomfortable after just a few days and left indents on my wrist and forearm form the heart rate monitor. Hard to comfortably sleep with as well.

    I wasn't so sure of this product at the beginning; call it buyer's remorse. But since I've had it for a while and used it for exercise tracking, I've really grown to love it! The GPS function for the cycling and running apps really gives me great metrics as to speed, split speeds, distances, and pace. And it's nice enough that I can wear it all day as a watch too. I'd highly recommend!

    I bought the Samsung gear first. Didn't like how the app worked so I took it back and got the Vivoactive that I was going to buy the first time. I allowed the salesman to talk me into the Samsung. The Samsung doesn't do what the Garmin does. I love the Garmin and tell everyone that ask me about it that it is the one to own. My wife had the fitbit and got a garmin and loves it better.

    I have been using the My Fitness Pall app to track dieting goals. The app is run on my I-phone and works well. The device paired easily with my phone and it is easy to read incoming texts and more. Given my workout and PT schedule, this device was a nice surprise birthday gift from my wife.

    This watch has many awesome features that help people that want to keep track of exercises and steps. I had a problem with it three times though. I like the watch but these problems made me a little unssatisfied with the product.

    A little bulky and not very pretty, but does everything I need it to do & works well. I was using the vivo active HR which is great also, but didn't do swimming laps well and the HR function didn't work well in the water. I did have issues with the other watch where sometimes it didn't read HR very well it showed it very low even during exercise. But it was also a great watch.

    band attachment broke < 1 year old NO WARRANTY

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The case broke where the band attaches. Slightly under 1 year old, but Garmin refused warranty. It is bad enough that the ring around the screw is too weak to hold up to normal use (it was under my jacket sleeve when it broke) But worse is the fact when you go on their website for service, they state it is out of warranty, even though I still had 3 days left in the warranty from the day I received it through mail order. Garmin goes by the billing date on your card, not the day you receive it mail order. What Garmin has done is illegal, but since I'm just a single unimportant customer Garmin does not care. I strongly recommend against buying any Garmin products.

    Was hesirant to get a smart fitness watch, But happy I bought thus one. The downloadable widgets are numerous and informative. I am a thin female and the watch band fit tight enough with 4 extra holes still available. This was important as most watchbands do not fit snug and bother me whrn running.

    I use this for swimming laps and biking. Accurate HR monitor, counts laps accurately and in real time so serves as a great motivator. Using indoor bike it tracks time and HR and is editable to add miles, cadence etc. Outdoors with GPS works great to track (and map) ride. Very configurable, good battery life. My only wish is that it be a tad smaller buteasy to get used to.

    This tracker has a lot of options to track several daily activities. It has a heart rate sensor too, so you get a lot of information. The app is nice to review that information. The only critic is that it doesn't record the heart rate while swimming, but overall good gadget

    This fitness tracker is highly customizable. I like the apps that outside developers have made available. It is a little big on my wrist but I do have smallish wrists. The GPS seems very accurate. I so not have a great sense of direction and the GPS mapping is great for this. Great also for swimming and bike riding. That's mainly what I use it for - Highly recommended.
