Not sure if the item was providing accurate information!

S far as for bits go it's ok have to manually sync

The battery on this one seems to be unchangeable so I had to return it. May look for a device with changeable battery or at least a 2 year warranty!

Good for extreme beginners, not text option no heart rate you must MANUALLY sync to your phone everyday it does not connect via bluetooth

If sitting and I raised my arm and wrist it would count as a step, therefore it doesn't count steps correctly !

Somehow the Garmin fell off and there seems to be no way to locate it through the software. I bought this because supposedly it locks and stays. It does lock but if you bump into something it falls off. This is the fourth time it has fallen but, this time I am unable to find it and the software/manual is of no use to me. This sucks as I actually liked it. Now it can kick rocks!

I bought it after I had trouble with the fitbit (I didn't like it had to be charged). The clip broke, and I tried to return it but I didn't have the receipt. i still have the box. I went out of the country and it started showing different numbers on it. It is supposed to be water proof, so I don't know what really happened to it.

I returned it because I did not like it. Did not work out.

App for device would not open after several attempts of re-install. The device would not work despite inoperable app and needed an additional piece of equipment ( ANT Stick) in order to be used on a computer which was an additional cost since it does not come with the fitness tracker device.

Battery did not last, ones you try to replace battery it becomes useless as the screws are so tiny, they stripe when you remove them and can't get them back into place.

Watch was lost within the first month due to the poor way the band fastened. I do not recommend purchasing. I purchased it replace a fitbit because it was waterproof but now I'm out $100.

Theres a lot to like about the Vivofit 3, mostly the fact that I can shower, swim, and wear this all day and night without recharging! The screen is small but very sharp and clear, and it's big enough to read at any arms length. Seriously, if you have any concerns about legibility, the numbers are bigger than the ones on the keyboard i'm using right now. if you can read keyboard numbers, then you can easily read these numbers. If you press the button, there's a light that reminds me of my old casio watch. lights up easy to read, at night, but outside it's perfectly fine. Having used this for about 2 weeks, I love the little fireworks animation and the calendar animation for days I've gotten consecutively. Its a small thing but it keeps me motivated to keep it up. The alarm is kind of quiet but it's not any quieter than my old casio digital watch. Syncing is mostly OK, I've tried it a bunch of different ways and i think i've found what works best usally. I open up the app, press the button until the screen shows the sync symbol, and put my phone right next to the vivo. it usually takes a minute or so. It's not always connected because it think that's how it can keep the battery for a year. At first I thought it wasn't recording any activities because for the longest time it always showed nothing in the activities window. But i discovered a couple things. If you start the stopwatch by holding the button down, and letting go when it says START, then it starts a timer. Then I go for a run and when I'm done, I hold it down to STOP it. After I sync, then I get a "1" in the activities and it shows what I did. It DOES NOT do this if you just go for a run without starting the timer. The other thing I found is that when you're in the app, you can find a timeline of your day. Usually it's a squiggly line of movement, but if you go for a run without using the timer, there's an icon that shows I was running. If you hit it, it shows your time, it's call MOVE IQ. It does this for Elliptical, Walking and Running, but I haven't gotten it to work with biking or swimming yet. I think it's because I'm not doing it long enough. I looked back through the last few days and I can exactly tell when I was walking my dog cause there's a walking symbol at 6:30 or so each night. AWESOME! The app is pretty good if you can spend some time figuring things out. I think its like anything else, you have to try it a few times to get used to it. For example, it took me the longest time to figure out how i could change the watch faces. There's so many settings, but I finally figured it out. You also have to back out of the settings all the way and THEN sync. If you just sync it won't change anything. After I realized that, then I experimented with all the different watch faces and settled on the analog watch face. It fits really nicely and I've gotten a bunch of compliments about it from people at church and work. I also LOVE the split screen watch, and might go back to that when I get tired of this one. As far as the band its pretty big on me, but i think they're trying to make it work for a lot of people so whether your big or small it should fit. If you're really thin, I think amazon sells some other bands. I want to get the camo band but there's some others I think. The little circular clasp is easy to turn to lock. I forgot to lock it a couple times and it almost fell off, but if I lock it, it's not going anywhere. The band itself is nice and smooth, really soft. A couple of wierd things for me is that I do get something like 50 or so steps at night. What's up with that? Maybe it's because my arm was moving? Also, I think it doesn't track steps when I'm pushing a shopping cart or something like that. My friend told me to strap it on my belt. I'll do that next time.

It melted in the Arizona heat and came apart on my arm. Had to buy another fit watch of a different brand and it works wonders and doesn't melt. Vivofit 3.

My son is 10 and wanted a fitbit but I got this...Garmin...he walked all over and no steps register...at times it calculates all at ONCE then it goes down...

The buckle on the band requires 2 people to connect if one is over 80. Even then, it is very difficult and obviously didn't work.

It was of great quality and didn't quite function the way I understood by a sales rep and reviews online.

I had chosen the Vivofit 3 over the Fitbit because it was waterproof, had a great battery life, and had the ability to track different activities. I had mentioned these qualities to my husband and he came through and bought it for me for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I only got 2 out of the 3 perks that really mattered to me. I love not having to worry about charging it, I like to put things on and forget them. I also love that it's waterproof, I don't have to worry about taking it off for showers, doing dishes, etc.. but most importantly- SWIMMING! Swimming is my exercise of choice, so I was thrilled not only could I wear my tracker while swimming, but it would track the activity. Expectations have not been met in this area. It has never recognized my swimming activities. I wasn't expecting miracles, but would have at least liked that it recognized I was in fact swimming, it has not. Nothing more frustrating than "not meeting goal" after I've spent an hour in the pool and got zero credit for it) The app shows nothing under swimming. Additionally, the Garmin app doesn't even let you correct it. I thought maybe if I manually entered the activity I was doing, it would then be able to recognize it the next time. No such luck. Another odd quirk that I've found is that it doesn't automatically sync. I have it set to sync only "limited" (one or two times a day) to save battery life, but it doesn't even do that. I have to manually sync. A minor annoyance, but still something I was under the impression it would do on it's own. Overall, I like the tracker, but extremely disappointed in the "activity tracker." Really hoping a firmware upgrade will fix some of these issues. Good: Waterproof Battery Life Band actually fits! (I have a small wrist and usually run into issues with bands being too large) Bad Activity tracker doesn't track different activities. (I'm not a runner, so not sure how well it would track other activities, but as mentioned, it hasn't recognized swimming) It does track steps. Even if I wasn't a swimmer, I think the waterproof characteristic of this tracker is a key element. I couldn't imagine buying a tracker without it.

This tracker was showing steps while sitting still. Not a good buy.

My wife needed a new tracker, so we looked into a wide variety from $50 - $200 that would meet her needs. 1) Needed to fit her well with a small wrist; 2) Good Bluetooth interface to smartphone app for further analysis and tracking; 3) water resistance. She wanted a Fitbit, but could not find the mix of water resistance and small form factor. - Shame on you Fitbit!!!! However, this Garmin does the job. Great price, too - thanks to Best Buy! One complaint is that it only came with a black band, and there were no additional bands in the store. Internet search took care of that, and she has a girly-colored band that is more stylish. Seems like the middle market of fitness trackers $100-$150, there is a big hole in function - you can have two but not more than two of the following: small to thin watch size, large display, heart rate, GPS, app integration, water resistant / water proof. I have a Pebble Steel that I love, but no one is making the function of that now dead product line. FITBIT - WAKE UP! quit making people buy easily damaged by water devices and add options like you just bought from Pebble. Otherwise, its off to Apple Watch or Samsung Gear Fit2.

This is a xmas gift. Can't review it until it gets used.
