    Has worked as advertised. Bought my wife one and she loves it. Wish it had a stop watch or reset capability but what it does have works well. I sync to my phone every week without any trouble. Lots of functions for the price.

    This band works great for me! It's a 24/7 reminder to take care of myself-keeping moving, sleep adequately and monitor myself. Love it!

    Won't synch with a Nook

    Purchased two for boyfriend's parents who don't have smartphones. Seems nobody at any Best Buy store that we visited knew if it would work to synch with a Nook. Finally one said it would and lo & behold, it doesn't. Had to hook it up to a computer making it difficult for them to look at the stats. The large band doesn't accommodate those with larger wrists. They need an extra large.

      Thank you for your review. I am very sorry, but the vivofit is not going to be compatible with the Nook. The Android and Apple products that we do know are compatible with this device can be found at http://www.garmin.com/ble

    I like the VivoFit, but sometimes I think it over estimates steps, especially notice when I'm cleaning or washing dishes. Otherwise, I am glad I purchased it.

    My wife had asked for this for her birthday last month. The set up was pretty easy on our desktop, and she has been wearing it almost nonstop since she got it. Her main purpose was for the step counting, which it seems to do well. (Although she found that you can "cheat" and just swing your arms without actually moving and get bonus steps!) It lacks most of the features of a true smartwatch, but that was not the intention of this device. It is a bit steep for the price of what it does, but Garmin is a name that I trust so we'll see how it holds up and if new features are added through program updates.

    The app works great once I figured out the snycing process. The red line reminding me to get up from my desk is good. I use this to sync with My Fitness Pal

    Was using the UP 24 and frustrated I couldn't see my progress during walks. I like the screen on the Garmin as its unobtrusive and I forgot it's there.

    The watch is just ok. You have to manually sync the watch with your app. The app is not as mice as the fitbit but for the price you can't beat it.

    Bought this for my nine year old and the small band fit great. The step tracker works well for the day to day and the app is fun and easy to use. I'm strongly considering getting myself a fitness tracker but mine will need to have a heart rate monitor. Unfortunately this models heart rate monitor comes in the form of a chest strap (yuck!) so I may have to buy a different brand for myself.

    I love that it keeps track of my sleep hours and habits . All this time I thought I was a heavy sleeper according to my vivofit I'm a very light sleeper with lots of movement. I like that it challenge you to walk 45K with others weekly. I move more now then ever before and it's compatible with my android and easy set up.

    Great Economical Fitness Tracker

    I was looking for an ecoomical Fitness Tracker i could use to track my steps while walking in the pool. The Garmin Vivofit fit the bill! I use it to track my steps as i walk in the pool & it also tracks my sleep. Best Buy matched Walmart's price, so it was a "no brainer" for me - especially since the Best Buy staff set it up for me. I had a Misfit Flash in the past but the band broke rather quickly. The Vivofit seems better constructed - Having the tracker definitely motivates me.

    Humans are not meant to be sedentary. My job is predominantly sedentary. This device helps remind me that I need to take walk breaks. I'm going to get some Vivofits for my office staff to encourage them to do the same.
