Many appreciate its water resistance and accurate step tracking capabilities, along with the comfortable fit and useful sleep tracking features. However, some users experienced issues with the display size and Bluetooth connectivity. A few customers also noted that the device lacks a built-in heart rate monitor and that the software could be improved.

    I work at a desk most of the day. The gentle "move" reminders are great for me. Also, reading short texts directly from my wrist without having to take out my phone is an added plus.

    This product is exceptional!!! I love how it vibrates when you need to move or you are getting a phone call or text and you can also read who's calling or texting. Steps are pretty accurate which is definitely a good thing

    I have an iPhone and have problems with the syncing. I decided to just returning it. reinstalling the app and restarting the Garmino tracker was to much. Specially when you have to do it so often. With me it was at least once a week the app or the tracker need to be restarted.

    Does what i hoped it would do

    Way back when, I used a BodyBugg to track (no longer supported), then I moved on to Fitbit devices (kept falling out of pocket when I sat) which I used for a year or two, and I tried a fitbit wristband (flex?) but It kept falling off... I tried an up24 but the large size didn't fit comfortably... I've been using up until this point for 6-9 months a Samsung Gear Fit.. I was happy with the gear fit, but it didn't synch with a food database (or any other online database# so I couldn't match my calories burned to what I was taking in. Now I have the VivoSmart and : 1# It records my steps, converts them to a total daily calorie burn #which gear fit did not do, but fitbits did# 2# It Synchronizes to MyFitnessPal, which has a great food database #if not a ton of ads, which I guess keeps the service free# 3) It stays on my wrist and does not fall off #again, the fitbit devices were difficult in this department) 4) Like the gear fit, this gives me breaking news notifications #from apps), e-mail, text, and I've come to rely on the vibration for incoming calls so I don't miss them #especially if i'm in a noisy place). What I don't like: 1) It doesn't seem to give me a chart for activity throughout the day like fitbit did, but that was kind of just something pretty to look at and not necessarily useful. 2) Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the first day I owned the device the web service which supports the device was down completely for at least 6 hours. Also The service is still reporting issues with myfitnesspal, though it seems to be working with current data for me.

    Returned first one for another. Tried to get help from garmin And it took a week to talk with a person. Some of the worst customer service I've had. My Motorola phone which is only 6 months old, never would connect and finally I returned the product to Best Buy.

    Great product for a while, but eventually the screen stated to float up not allowing me to see the top of the words. Went through 2 in less than 2 years and gave up after the second one coasted up

    Our whole family has these. It encourages everyone to be more active by seeing who takes the most steps everyday. Being able to read emails is a nice benefit as well.

    Screen is blurry, touch portion almost unusable, and notifications would not come through right away. It could be up to 5 mins between the notification appearing on my phone and it showing up on the this device.

    Better than a Fitbit, not as good as the microsoft band. I returned this for the band. It is a much better product for about the same price.

      We are glad to hear you liked the vívosmart over some of the competition. The vívosmart does have some fantastic features such as: Displaying the date, time of day, steps taken, distance walked, calories burned, and goals as well as smart notifications from phone including messages and media player for music.

      Our product has a bundle option that includes the heart rate monitor for advanced information which can be tracked on the Connect mobile app or website that also displays leader boards, activities of friends, goals and badges unlocked for progress made.

      Thank you for the review and appreciate the feedback.

    The setup was very easy to do. There are no controls on the outside of the tracker and no way to make the display brighter on it so that was a little disappointment.
