My favorite feature isn't the pedometer. It is the Bluetooth notifications.

I have previously owned a fitbit force which I liked, but it stopped working after only a month. The Garmin Vivosmart does almost everything that the fitbit does (except count stairs), but allows you to see notifications from your cell phone as well. While many might not need this feature, I find that it is very helpful during meetings and dinners to glance at my wrist rather than pull out my cell phone for everything that comes across. Then I can decide if it is important enough that I need to excuse myself, or ignore it.

This has become a great purchase with the heart monitor band included. After heart surgery comes cardio rehab! Having this monitor has been great for when I'm traveling. Definitely a great purchase

Great overall tracker ... Battery life could be better but last approx. 5 days ... I'm sure it would last longer if alerts were turned off ..

This product truly delivers on what it promises. It has helped me to keep my fitness goals on track. In addition, it convenient having my messages accessible without taking out my cell phone. The app for the vivosmart needs some work. But it has not effected the product performance. The on,y draw back on the particular product is the battery life if only 7 days. However, it was still to be expected,,

When I first purchased this watch the HR did not work. I tried new batteries in it and all and it still did'nt work. I'm not one to return things so I just kept it. The watch was great until a few months later when the display screen started to fade away. I'd rather not buy this item again.

The app is awesome. The only flaw I find is that the app won't connect to my music. Otherwise, I love the features and ease of the functions.

The screen gets very hard to read after a few months. I just got a new one after last one broke. Only reason I stay with this one is for the HR monitor. The vivosmart HR is not accurate during weight training. If it were I would get it but since it's not, I'm stuck with this one.

It does what it says it does. I thought I woukd find this more motivating to get to goal, but I dont. I also feel it does not go off every morning when my alarm is set for. Not reliable.

There are many different motivational tools available for the device such as our leader boards and connections with other people and friends in our Garmin Connect app and website. You can also set goals for yourself on a weekly basis and badges to unlock as you are more successful.
You mentioned the alarm clock function not waking you up or setting. With our Garmin connect app and website you can adjust the alarm and would recommend trying it when you are awake to emphasize the reliability as well as see if the vibration is strong enough for your sleeping habits.
Thank you for your feedback and response. ~JH

We purchased this for my wife and it broke just around the 30 day mark. Called Garmin and we have to pay shipping to send it to them to get it replaced. Best Buy would not accept the return or exchange. Not happy about having to pay for a defective item and Best Buy not willing to help.
Don't buy this product!!!
