    Has a nice low profile so I can wear a watch while wearing this. It has a long battery life too. It is easy to use, set up and keep up with. The only "drawback" is trying to put it on it can be difficult to get to hook up

    LOVE This Thing

    I've had mine for a month and I love it. I've had at Nike Fuelband (it broke and stopped syncing) and a FitBit (no read out on the band itself) and I like this much better than either of them. It's light and comfortable, a charge lasts a long time, and it's syncing nicely with MyFitnessPal and the Health app on my iPhone. The distance and steps recorded are really accurate --- they line up very closely with what my treadmill records when I run inside. It's a little challenging to reads texts and emails on it --- but that's not why I bought it. This product has definitely exceeded my expectations.

    I really love the features on the Garmin fitness watch. It seems to give misinformation at times however it recovers and continues working. My only issue is that the display on both mine and my husbands have minor flaws. The lights in the right corner do not light up as bright as the rest of the watch. Everything else is awesome.

    Where a Fitness band meets smartwatch

    PROS: One of the few fitness bands that also acts as a smartwatch. Long battery life. The "move bar" is an effective reminder to get up and walk around CONS: Garmin Connect fitness app on mobile is not of much use

    I love seeing the real number on steps, not just a dot every 2,000 steps. I adore the notifications on the band for things on my phone. Almost a smart watch.

    This has been one of the best purchases that I have made this year. I love that it tracks my steps, miles, steps to go for my goal and tells the time. The fact that it is smart makes it even better. I never thought I would be so lazy that looking at my phone would not be my primary option, but I am converted. Driving, in meetings, with friends and other times are not a good time to be checking your phone and this band save me every time. I would suggest this band for anyone that swims, gives their kids a bath, wants to see their emails and IMs without digging out your phone, wants to keep track of their steps and miles, ... I would suggest this band for anyone. It has been perfect.

    I originally bought this as a pedometer to count steps. But it does so much more! Sometimes my phone does not ring or I have turned the ringer off and I notifies me of messages texts and phone calls. Now I feel like I can't do without!

    Works great and I love that it doesn't feel as chunky on my wrist as other products. Would give 5 stars, but the wrist flip to turn on the display requires me to frantically shake my wrist rather than a quick wrist turn.

    I love the Vivosmart! I use it all day and night for a week and charge it up and start my next week. I had some problems with scrolling through screens after about 4 months of constant hard use, because I work at UPS lifting boxes. Garmin is awesome and stands behind their products. I called in and they shipped me a brand new one. This one is working great i'm on month 2.

    This band has been working well so far. It not only tracks your steps and calories burned but also links to your smart phone. It vibrates when a call or text message comes in.

    This activity tracker was the most accurate out of the two that we tested. I like the message and call alert and the notification of when you reached your goal for the day.

    I previously owned a Fitbit Tracker but upgraded to the Vivosmart Tracker. It does everything I need and more. It tracks your daily steps and automatically adjust your step goals if you go over or under. It alert you when you receive calls and text messages on your cellphone, pauses, skips, and plays your music. I have already recommended it to friends,

    After reviewing several activity trackers online, I decided on the Vivosmart for its water resistant ability. I have swam numerous laps with it as well as aqua jogging and I haven't had any problems with it. I am able to see any texts and emails while in pool.

    Unit is good for tracking steps and challenges with other users. Works great at notiying you of calls and text messages. Screen is way too small to read text. I would recommend as a cheap alternative to iwatch.

    She is very happy though I guess I should have read the info more completely before purchase as I did not realize it needed the purchase of another item to utilize the heart monitor.

    After 6 months the alarm no longer vibrates. Also the lower right side of the display doesn't light up any more. Makes it tough to read text messages. Picture should show all L's.
