Customer Ratings & Reviews

Received the Vivosmart as a gift for Christmas over 1 year ago. Worked well untill the display began loosing lines. Called Garmin, they offered a refund or an upgrade to the Vivosmart HR. I choose the HR but really prefer the size of the original Vivosmart.

My wife loves it, keeps her motivated. It has good features.

I received this watch as a Christmas gift in 2014. I absolutely loved it read all the information on the watch and reviews. In the fall of 2015 my watch stopped syncing w my phone, the print would partly show up, and the battery wouldn't hold up as long. November/December half of my screen will not work. I have to guess on the time date and so on. I wish I would have known this watch would only last a year. I wish I never asked for this watch.

Disappointed, definitely hard to see in sun, doesn't alway react to finger touch, trouble syncing with my iphone. Can't get it to read my Garmin heart rate monitor. I've spent an hour on phone with Garmin with no luck. It won't live update your steps count to your phone. Mosquito repelant must be caustic to the plastic as even with one small spray it leaves spots, that are permanent. I do like getting the text messages and phone call notice on my wrist.

This fitness tracker is awesome! You can see whos calling you and you can also see/read incoming texts.

I used a Fitbit for about two years but I gave up on it because it was extremely unreliable. The Vivosmart is a much better option. It has phone notifications and a move reminder, both of which are not found on Fitbits. And I love having a display. My only complaint is that it was difficult to set up, both initially and with the heart rate monitor. After they were set up and synced I have had no problems. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

This is my third fitness tracking device - I already had Fitbit One, Fitbit Flex, and Garmin Vivofit. My new Garmin VivoSmart is the best by far.

Band was comfortable and was decent looking. After using decided there was not enough features to justify price at time of purchase. Returned for Fitbit charge hr and have been satisfied.

it is the solution for all my requirement, but had to replace it once since it was not connecting with my mobile and display went off. I got confused on the durability, it's just been 2 months fortunately i had a protection plan on it and it worked. I still got the same one to see whether that works for longer duration, BTW no other product in market can exactly provide all feature this provide.

Got this for Christmas,the numbers in the display are fading away.

Great product! I love this and when it tells me to move is a great feature!

tried fitbit flex was nice but had to check phone to get details so returned it n got vivo fit no back light n broke my wrist out with a rash so got the vivo smart to many alerts about blue tooth connect n display is very small .so i returned it n now i have the nike fuel band n so far so good

When it FINALLY connects to my phone, only stays a short while. Very cumbersome & difficult to re-connect; haven't been able to connect it since yesterday, and have tried dozens of times. Consequently cannot use the app. Not worth money. Going to exchange for Vivofit 2.

I really loved this when it worked. I have had it for two months almost and it quit working today. The LED started to fade last week and that should have been a sign. I charged it but nothing. No screen, no syncing with my phone. I will be looking for the receipt to return to Best Buy and get something different unless Garmin will trade this one for a new one.

I used this for 2 months or less and letters and numbers in the display are fading away. I would NOT recomend this to a friend

I've have the VivoSmart 10 months now, overall I like the way it works. I own two (one for me and one for the wife) The only major problem I'm having is that the display pixels begin to burn out after a while. We both had to get our originally purchased VivoSmarts replaced under manufacture warranty after 8 months because the screen pixels began to burn out on both bands. They sent us replacements and now after 2 months my band is starting to lose display pixels again.

Have a love/hate relation to the vivosmart. I love it because when everything works it's one the best activity tracker around. Unfortunately, it has a display problem. That's why I hate it. So much potential and yet eventually disappoints. Have used 3 the past year and getting another one thru warranty next month. In all those times I've used it, have had problems with dead pixels in the display. First one lasted 2 weeks until the problem showed up. Luckily it was still under Bestbuy return policy. Second one lasted a little bit over a month. Went through Garmin warranty and got a replacement. Third one lasted 3 months and having warranty work on it right now. Hopefully the next one I get, Garmin will do this activity tracker justice and finally fix the problem.

I purchased the vivosmart in order to track my steps for a healthy initiative at work. I had the product for 3 weeks and the display went out on it. Not just the bottom half but the entire display is unreadable. The product is supposed to be water resistant. I had worn it in the heat while exercising and showered with it on and at the end of the day noticed it would not light up. I charged it & the display was unreadable, flickering on and off. I googled defects and appears that there are many others who have had similar issues. I would stay away from this product. Garmin is willing to send me a replacement/refurbished product but by the time I get it back the walking challenge will be over.

I bought the vivosmart on Friday. Saturday I ran a 5k and it said I only went 1.8miles. Sunday I walked a route I know is 2.8miles and it said I only went 1.6m. The other features seem to work properly but the mileage is way off. I'm only 5'6" so I doubt my stride is that far off from the default.

I liked the stylish appearance, but the lighted lettering was faded on the edges which made reading texts impossible.
