    I love it! Not only does it track my steps and sleep movement, it reminds me to move, gives me the time and notifications from my iPhone.

    It was okay. It did what it says it does. Didn't sync automatically all the time even with bloothtooth connected constantly. Wished it had a feature to set more than one alarm or reminders throughout the day. But overall did what it says it does besides connecting.

    Got this for the wife, she loves it. She uses it to moniter her sleep, steps everything. She absolutely loves the notifications on calls and txt messages, only con she has is the amount of steps needed to reset the move bar, but other than that she loves it.

    Vivosmart is a great tracker for steps and running. I love having a display right on the band, and text and other notifications are a nice bonus. If the Garmin Connect app was better (especially for entering physical activities) I would have given it 5 stars.

    Love the design, the color, the features, except for not knowing when to charge it. However, it was not very accurate. Added 40 or 50 steps every time I put laundry from washer to dryer, etc..... Exchanged for FitBit Charge...we'll see how this goes....

    I replaced my Fitbit that I accidentally washed. I'm so pleased with the Vivosmart. It provides everything I wanted in an activity watch. Easy to use. I do have an issue with the Garmin app. It doesn't always sync with the FitnessPal app.

    I have had my vivosmart for almost a year I like that it is small and has the features I was looking for. The only down side is it loses connection with my phone and I have to turn off the Bluetooth and turn it back on to connect.

    For me the Garmin vivofit activity tracker is very user friendly. I like that it automatically syncs with the Connect app on my phone. That makes it easy to keep track of my walking and activities. The Fitness Pal app syncs eating with the Connect app. A vibration happens when you need to be active. I'm not sure how accurate sleep monitoring is, but it seems pretty accurate and is fun to track. Overall this is very easy to use.

    The Vivosmart activity tracker is a good product for the price point. It keeps track of your steps and sets fitness goals. You can also sync it up with your cell phone to receive text messages. I am happy with this product.

    It works as its suppose to. You do get all the notifications but the downside is you can't customize what notifications you want to be alerted with. The fact that you can wear it while showering is a big plus

    Purchased for my daughter. Reviewed all activity trackers before purchasing this one. It did not come with instructions so had to figure it out. It also did not say in order to do the heart monitoring you had to wear the belt that goes around your chest. Would have been nice to have known that ahead of time.

    I love the Vivo smart! Everyone should get one! I like that fact that it reminds me to move and to continue working toward reaching my goal. I don't even wear a watch anymore because it tells does the following: Time, stop watch, calorie counter, steps, syncs with the phone and buzzes when someone calls or texts, gives you the latest news, etc. I'm glad I chose this one! Its also waterproof!

    On to device number 3 already. The first one had the whole display light up for Christmas and stopped showing anything on the screen. Already, with the second, about 1/5 of the pixels have faded or died. I am not impressed by the quality control on these. If you get it, get a warranty! That being said, I like that they are waterproof and link to your phone.

    This device was just perfect for me. I can't speak enough for the connections with My Fitness Pal and even the health challenges at work that I was able to link into. I love how the sleep tracker helps me and then it is super easy to establish goals. I would give it a 5 but had an issue once where I needed to sync to a computer and got stuck in sync mode at the beach when I was logging a bunch of steps! Lost device for about 2-3 days.
