Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Vivofit 3's battery life, ease of use, and its ability to track steps and sleep. Many appreciate its water resistance and the accuracy of its tracking features. However, some customers mentioned the small screen size and occasional issues with the band's durability as drawbacks. A few also noted challenges with syncing the device and the lack of a built-in heart rate monitor.

    Got it for my Kids, not such a good product for active kids. The band kept on coming loose, Had to get exchanges twice within 6 months, and finally decided to get a refund.

    Got this for my 12-year-old daughter for Christmas, 2016. She is short / small but has no problems with this staying on her wrist. It's a great first step towards fitness (but no GPS, no HRM) and works as well as advertised.

    I've had for a few days. Steep learning curve. Records steps while DRIVING and SHOWERING. I take it off to keep it relatively accurate. Will not work if your arm isn't moving. Swim counter is not obvious. May return.

    Icons on the watch are very small, they are hard to see. Does not count steps when arms are stationary, I have to attach it to my ankle when I use a step machine.

    Great product. Wrist band worries as noted By others. I have really stressed to my daughter about making sure class engaged well. Admittedly I reinforced it with a black twisty-tie. Ghetto, I know

    I needed to buy a door prize item for a professional group meeting and this was a HIT! The winner was quite pleased, and since I work in the healthcare world, a fitness-related gift made by a trusted manufacturer was just perfect. The pricing and delivery service with notifications were also very helpful.

    I think this product is fantastic. It doesn't have Smartphone Notifications, so if you need that, avoid this. I bought it for my daughter who is in middle school. She's not allowed to wear Smart Watches of any kind, but this is acceptable because it doesn't get the notifications. It's perfect for her.

    The Garmin Vivofit HR is a sleek and sharp tool. It provides all the information I want to be informed about my health, time, sleep, activity and even gives me messages when hooked to my Android. The band design on this fit ware is excellent . The vertical or horizontal time face is great also.

    Got vivofit 3 mainly to track and record heart rate during spin classes and tennis. But you need an additional chest strap. It works great for that. Sync to Garmin Connect through my iPhone is quick and reliable. Garmin makes better trackers to monitor sleep.

    The tracker is nice looking and a great tool for keeping track of your daily activity level. It is motivating to set a daily goal and then do what is necessary to achieve the goal.

    This is a good activity tracker, though seems to be a little off from total accuracy, but looks like all trackers are this way. would have given 5 stars but needs to have a lighted display.

    I purchased 3 of these for my 3 kids ages twins ages 11 and other 12 yrs, and these are great. They have a digital watch so kids can't say they didn't know what time it was when they need to be home, has an alarm and also inspires them to get their goal for steps for the day...

    I wanted an activity tracker for my son but wanted one that wasn't as young as the vivofit jr. It was too big which was disappointing.

    I had been using a Nike Band, and didn't know what to replace it with once those were no longer made. The vivofit 3 was a smooth transition to using a new form of fitness tracking.
