- Cons mentioned:Bluetooth
it was good - until it stopped work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The concept of the Vivosmart is excellent! Not only does it function as a fitness and sleep monitor, but it notifies its user of incoming calls/texts/etc. with a simple vibration. Unfortunately, the screen does not show well in the sunlight, and the Bluetooth on my Vivosmart stopped working after a couple months. I went online and followed Garmin's instructions to correct the problem, thought I fixed the problem, but it quit again after 5 minutes. I took the band back and exchanged it for another Vivosmart, and had the same problem after a few months (if you're wandering, I checked to make sure the Bluetooth on my phone was operating properly, and it was). I was very disappointed -- it was an excellent concept!

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. I am sorry to hear about the inconveniences with your vívosmart.
One thing which help may improve the display of your vívosmart while outdoors would be to adjust the screen brightness.
Adjusting the Screen Brightness
1. Hold the touchscreen to view the menu
2. Select sun symbol on the far right
3. Select - or + to adjust the brightness
For connectivity issues between your vívosmart and Android phone, which for best performance must be paired within the Garmin Connect Mobile app please see: http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/simpleCase.htm?caseId={22f35380-95c7-11e4-6479-000000000000}&kbName=garmin

- Cons mentioned:App
Nice active band
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great band overall. I don't like the app update but the band itself it's awesome
I would recommend this to a friend Good starter smartband
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my wife as she sits at a computer all day and this was the only band that would vibrate to remind her to stand. It does a good job of that but periodically will lose connection with her phone and the step count seems to be off a bit as well. Hopefully this is just a learning curve and not a defect. It might possibly need a software update. Overall I would still recommend it.

Adequate for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on sale for 50% off, so well worth the money. Screen is a little hard to read long texts, but overall does a good job of tracking sleep and steps. The app has been improved and doesn't disconnect near as much as I have read in other reviews.
I would recommend this to a friend Fantastic device

One of the best Fitness Monitors
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife who is usually against tech and she loves it. It's battery last for a long long time and it syncs to her phone with ease. She also loves the sleep monitoring. Would buy again any day.

Great, slim activity tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful product that tracks all my metrics. Easy to use and syncs right to my phone. Comfortable to wear 24/7 and fashionable. I might have gotten a lemon because the screen no longer works and it makes daily usage difficult at best.

Great deal!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a fantastic buy. I'm not one to spend an arm and a leg on something just because it's trendy. After researching good brands that didn't break the bank, I settled on this and am so happy I did. Seamlessly connects, the app is awesome, the charge works for at least a full week and I love that I also get my phone updates directly on my phone...whether it be an email, text, snapchat notification etc... Great and worth the money!!
