    I made a lot of research before buying my Vivosmart. At first, you have to get used to it but then it's wonderful. It's very comfortable. The heart rate function is quite accurate when I pair it with my Garmin band. The only thing is that when it's connected to my iPhone through Bluetooth, the battery life seems to be shorter and I have to charge it every four and sometimes three days.

    I do not normally write reviews but I felt compelled to share my bad experience. I have had the Garmin VivoSmart for a month. In the beginning it was working well, It was accurate in its steps measurement and also the notifications were working as it should. The sync worked well with my android phone but not as well when I upgraded to iPhone 6. BUT after 1 MONTH of use VivoSmart STOPPED SHOWING THE DISPLAY. I could feel the vibrate for notifications but the display WILL NOT SHOW. Garmin will mail me back a replacement but I asked the customer service person if there are other problems reported about the device and he said that some people reported that the SWIPE stopped working after a while. I DO NOT ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY THIS PRODUCT, it is not well made. May be wait for the version 2. I made the mistake of buying this product. Good thing I did not buy my wife the same product. Look for a different product, it is not worth it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I like the feature of seeing text messages and phone calls. Also it will vibrate to let you know to get moving. The app could be a little better like the Fitbit. Overall it is a good product.

    The only reason i did not give this 5 stars, it did not have a booklet with instructions. There are icons that i don't know what they are.

    I love my Garmin active fit. The only reason I'm changing to a Fitbit is because it goes with my lifestyle change program & I have a scale it syncs in to. So I'm going to give thr

    The band is a sharp looking device. The display is stealthily hidden behind a matte black skin that matches the rest of the band. Call/text notifications come through flawlessly.

    FitBit is ok but too pricey. The GARMIN was 60.00 cheaper and does more than Fitbit. This is a very good product for the money.

    There have been a lot of issues lately with some of the features, but they keep sending updates to fix the issues. It is a little frustrating, but it does work 90% of the time.

    Garmin needs to consolidate their two apps, need to have one app that has activity tracking and health/diet tracking all in one.

    It was initially difficult to set up and fully use. It does not come with a printed manual, but has the ability to do so much more than a Fitbit flex. Love the many uses.

    I love my vivosmart! I have had a few moments where it wasn't working properly because it needed to have a software update. Once I did that it worked just fine every time.
