    I have no problems with it. Of course, I've only had it for a month because I've recently lost it. It works just as it is supposed to. A great watch for a great price. However, it seems to overestimate the distance traveled slightly and the app takes a while to sync with it (maybe a minute or two), but those are just the two minor problems I've had with it. Overall, I really recommend this watch.

    The fitness band is ok....not the most accurate, but accurate enough to get an idea of how much you move. Durable and very convienent. Adjustment of brightness and stride length is a nice feature

    It his is my second one. The first one worked for little over a week, then stopped. Returned it and got another, but this one won't ever turn on even when fully charged. This one is going back too.

    Got my Garmin watch almost 2 years ago. Loved it !!! How ever wish I would have bought the extended warranty, but being a well known brand thought I would be ok. After wearing it for about 6 months I decided to sat in my dresser for a little while, when I decided to start wearing it again I fully charged it and sad to say it only shows !/2 of a screen now. Very disappointed with it in not lasting very long for the price I paid.

    Bought this for my wife. She didn't like it. Probably will exchange for a Samsung Gear fit. It has a lot of features but you have to go online to get instructions.

      Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you returned the vívosmart, but would like to address the issues you mentioned.

      The rechargeable battery in vivosmart can last up to 7 days on a single charge. Various factors including screen brightness, frequency of smart notifications, and frequency of heart rate monitor or speed sensor use can shorten battery life in between charges.

      An issue was identified with iOS users and the Garmin Connect app with could have caused a reduced battery life. Software updates have been released for both the device, as well as the iOS, and Android apps that should have corrected the issue. These updates also strengthened bluetooth stability, which greatly improved syncing and reconnection.

      We appreciate your feedback. Thanks again. *CG Garmin

    My Son loves it. He wanted a smart watch only for the health tracking functions and we bough one of these instead and he loves it.

    I returned this. I did not like the feel and it left a sore spot on my arm. It may be good for some one who does not mind wearing a watch, I do not.

    After having several Fitbit's that never met my needs this is awesome! I can use it when I cycle and cross train and get credit! One of the features I didn't know when I purchased it was the Bluetooth messaging. So now I am even on time for meetings!
