    I really like this Garmin, is way better than a fit bit but I would say I don't like that it does not recognize your activity and you have to manually set the work out. I love the different faces you can do but overall is the best out there for the price.

    This was a gift for my wife. It does everything! First the bad, her main complaint is the size, The HR sensor protruding as much as it does made it uncomfortable at times. Lastly the auto dimming feature made it hard to see at night, when she was doing her walking. Other than that it is freaking awesome. Garmin did their homework. It will overload you with dada you didn't know that you wanted to know. Auto adjust goals to motivate you to the next step. If you are a setious athleat that wants a tracker, that doesn't look like a kids watch, this is for you. Due to her complaints we are returning it for a more basic & female friendly (smaller & curved) device. I would give it 5 stars but her concerns are valid for the deduction.

    I love my Vivoactive HR. I have been using it daily to keep myself motivated. Everything about it is good except for the fact that the glass broke, and I don't even know how. In todays day and age you'd think they would use the strongest glass available.

    This watch is a great fitness tracker, but still not a very good smartwatch. There's a lag sometimes to show calls and messages on the watch compared to other smartwatches I have experience with. All in all it is a great watch and I definitely recommend.

    Garmin - vivoactive HR Smartwatch (Regular) - Black. We watched lots of youtube videos on watches and decided that this was the one for us. We are both very happy with this watch. It's great that paired with our phone and apps for our credit cards we get notifications of purchases and other app notifications right on the watch.

    I've been wanting a new watch-activity tracker-sleep tracker for a while & this Garmin Vivoactive HR has turned out to be all that I wanted and more. I'm perfectly pleased and so glad I invested in it. It doesn't report sleep as well as the Jawbone UP but it's good enough for me considering everything else in this one smart watch.

    I have owned several sports watches of the years, including a Suunto, several Garmin watches, and most recently a Fitbit Surge. This is my favorite watch/tracker for what I do. I'm not just a runner. I mountain bike, hike, backpack, lift weights, swim, and kayak. This watch can track it all! Very pleased with the purchase!

    I decided to try Garmin after I went through 3 FitBit Surges in 9 months! The Vivoactive HR is exactly what I was looking for in a wearable. It’s not pretty but the functionality was more important for me. I have had 3 friends by this on my recommendation and they are more than satisfied with the Garmin!

    I love my Garmin vivoactive hr it was a Christmas gift and I have been looking at them for quite awhile. I love having the freedom of leaving my phone at home if I want to and just being able to track my runs or other activities with my Garmin.

    Bought the Garmin a year ago and love it. I had a Fitbit (which I loved) but you could not swim or golf with it. You can with the Garmin and it works well for swimming. I still haven't figured out golf but it's not the Garmin's fault.

    I had a Tom Tom HR monitor that was inaccurate and cumbersome so this Garmin Smartwatch was a pleasant surprise. It is fairly accurate to measure heart rate but you have to find the proper location on your wrist. Very easy to use, big face and great for notifications. It is definitely worth the money.
