This is a great product that helps count steps, track sleep, and calories. This also syncs up with your phone to let you know on incoming messages or calls or whatever you would like updates on. This is one of the best activity trackers on the market.

This is my third band and the best that I've used yet. I've had the Nike fuel band and the jawbone before this and neither compare. Being able to have a waterproof fitness band should be a top priority to these other brands but clearly is not. This Garmin band offers a waterproof design with all of the extras that you'd expect from an expensive fitness watch. You can even purchase a heart rate monitor that works in sync with the band. Also, being able to view texts and phone calls from my wrist has been priceless. The look is sleek and my customers at work don't even notice it.

I love this tracker. I had tried the Jawbone UP24 and I hated it. It was way too sensitive and so I gave this Garmin a chance and it's the best. Gives me my steps, calories, time & date, tracks sleep and lets me know of messages and calls from my IPhone.

I am more than happy with the Vivosmart fitness tracker. I've been using it for about a week. I upgraded from the Vivofit, also from Garmin. I've been impressed with the accuracy and dependability of the Garmin products. What I love about this tracker is that it syncs to my phone, allowing me to receive messages and alerts without having my phone in front of me. There is a Fitbit that has the same functionality, but it cost about $300.

The Vivosmart is a good device with impressive battery life. I actually purchased this for myself and after deciding I liked the Pebble Steel better gave the Vivosmart to my wife. When I tried it I found it to be very comfortable. My wife has it on most of the time. The battery lasts her at least 7 days which is very impressive. My Pebble lasts about 5 days.

Reasonably priced. Great features. It has a sleep tracker, step counter, calories burned. If you sync with your smartphone, it will vibrate for phone calls and text messages. Has a great notification when you reach your goal steps. Also has a movement reminder. If you are sedintary for an hour, it will remind you to move. Overall a great product

Great Watch

The main reason I purchased this watch is for the alarm. Never again do I have to hear a horrible song in the morning. Now, my watch vibrates on my arm for a nicer wake up experience. I do wish I could set multiple alarms throughout the day, but I will deal.
With my android phone, I can also determine which apps I can receive notifications for. This is an amazing feature, since I dont prefer to get notifications from facebook or emails.
Other reviews that I read were incorrect with the sleep feature of the watch. Once you turn your watch on sleep mode, your watch will not vibrate for notifications. I seriously love that! No more pesky text messages waking me up.
Garmin also updated the sleep feature of the app. You can track how long you slept, and the app shows the level of movement. I think that is a neat feature.
I love this watch!

It is all great, does what it says it does.
But my problem with it is that it has no range as soon as I leave my bedroom where my phone might be charging it tells me that Bluetooth is disconnected. I live in a one bedroom apartment so I'm not going far. Also sometimes it doesn't respond to my touches I tap for awhile until it finally responds!

This band makes me aware when I sit too long either working at my desk or watching TV. I find myself wanting to walk & be more active to reach the goals it sets & be in better shape. What a great way to be prompted without the rest of the room knowing. It also lets you know when you are getting a call when your phone is nearby but silenced. I am really enjoying using my new "watch" & am sure it will help me make exercise more routine as I continue to use it. Love the color too!

Great way to track steps throughout the day. I work at a desk all day and if I am stationary too long it vibrates and reminds me to MOVE. It also syncs with Myfinesspal to help track calories. Easy to set up and battery lasts about a week.

It looks great, is not heavy or uncomfortable and gives more information than a normal activity tracker. Charge is enough for a week aprox. and I can wear it in the shower and all day look, even when sleeping to track my spleep quality.

Had some issues with step count at first, but works great after I measured my stride and entered it into the Garmin Connect program. Lasts at least a week between charges, and survives frequent use in the water. Overall- love it!

love how it's waterproof, can swim, shower, wash dishes with it on. Bought it mainly to track steps and activity. Like the additional features like sleep monitoring, controlling my music while I workout... Overall great buy.

The tracker by itself is great. It keeps track of steps counted, calories burned, gives message notifications etc. The app however leaves a lot to be desired. One of the most unintuitive apps out there. On the plus side, hopefully the manufacturer can update the app and make it better. The hardware itself is great.

We bought this for our 10 year old daughter and she loves it! By far her favorite Christmas gift this year. She loves being able to track her activities and monitor it all using her IPad. Plus she is able to receive text messages which was a major bonus. Her friend received a Fitbit for Christmas and it doesn't do near as much as the Garmin. We haven't encountered anything negative about it.

The Garmin Vivosmart is a fantastic fitness tracker. It keeps track of my steps with incredible accuracy, and I love that it tells me to move if I've been sedentary for an hour. The sleep tracker is also very helpful.

I like this watch that captures your steps, sleep, etc. Unfortunately the first one I had malfunctioned in about 7 mos but fortunately Best Buy covered it under the warranty & I got a new one. I hope I have better luck with this one. One thing that drives me a bit crazy is that Garmin, like other interactive web sites, changes things up constantly. AACK!! Guess it goes with the territory.
