Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like my this piece of hardware. It is a pretty great piece. It is one of a few that I can wear while swimming/water areobics. It is pretty accurate. I just dislike its bulk. I bump and hit it accidentallt. A. Lot.

This tracker meets all my needs. It monitors all my activities, and has a built in heart rate monitor. It is one of the few trackers that are waterproof. I use it in the pool, shower with it, and don't have to worry if I am caught in the rain. It not only syncs with Garmin's own app, Connect, but works flawlessly with the "Map my Fitness", the Fitbit, and "My Fitness Pal" apps as well. It does not do well recording my flights of stairs, but my heart rate monitor is in agreement with the monitors on the gym equipment.

I had been looking for a smartwatch with continuous heart rate monitoring but was not willing to pay a premium price. The Vivosmart HR is a great compromise between a full smartwatch and fitness tracker. I love that it is waterproof and can be worn in the shower or pool. Getting notifications means I don't have to get my phone out of my pocket except for long messages/emails. The Garmin Connect app has really improved compared to those early reviews and it auto adjusts my daily steps goals based on activity. My only real issue is that the HR monitoring does not seem to do as well when performing weight lifting workouts. It does very well for cardio and outdoor jogging; it just seems to have trouble when I'm lifting weights, but it does 95+% of the things I really want.

Does an excellent job of tracking steps and capturing heart rate. Highly recommended Activity Tracker.

Garmin - Vivosmart HR Activity Tracker + Heart Rate has many great features. It provides great information and keeps track of your sleep, activity, heart rate, and other things. Also notifies you of your emails and texts. I love it. Best Buy had the best sale price in this area. Salesman was very helpful in knowing the product and in setting it up with my phone.

For the price it's amazing. I went in to get a Fitbit and got my Garmin instead. It has a bigger screen. It supports notifications from a lot of apps so it will keep you updated. Only thing that I don't like is that the app has to be open in order for the weather and music app to work but that's the only bad thing. It's also charges SUPER FAST

The Vivosmart HR is a great activity tracker. I find the HR monitor is consistent with pulse oxygen monitors. if any thing it is within a few heart beats off. The only downfall is to clear the activity bar you need to walk near a continuous 200 steps. Also, the app could use some improvement when compared to those like Fitbit or Jawbone.

I have owned this for a few months now and it is very comfortable on my wrist, easy to sync with my Samsung phone unlike the Fitbit charge HR I owned before this watch. Software app is great. Heart rate monitor is accurate. Overall a good watch for the money. Even better now Garmin have updated the software to make the display brighter.

It does everything it says, tracks almost as accurate as my heart rate monitor as well as the calories and steps everything is perfect and i love the notification feature. The only thing i didnt like was that when you shower with it its always buzzing because i guess the water messes with it but other than that it a really good device.

I bought this as a tool to go along with my training I've been doing. I'm trying to lose weight, and I felt like I wasn't walking enough during the day but also not getting accurate calorie burn from my gym's app. I bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. It was a great sale and much cheaper than Fitbit. Ever since I got this, I've been moving more, able to view my accurate calorie burn, heart rate and much more!! I love the app! It shows my steps, weekly step challenges, sleep tracking, heart rate, workout intensity. I'm even able to track my running, cycling, and swimming. If your looking for a tracker to help you keep moving, track your workouts, daily calorie burn and suggest ways how to make you healthier than this is it! It's easy to use, looks great and I wear it to work all the time, and durable in the gym. I do love that I can record my workouts and look back at them. I have a trainer and the Garmin has been helping me to reach my goals faster!! I would highly recommend this because it reminds you to keep moving, helps me go to bed on time/wake up, track my workout, plus the app is very detailed, and it in courages you to get more steps by their weekly challenges. It's worth it!

This is my second Garmin activity tracker; my first finally started to die after several years of hard use. Overall, I am happy with Garmin products. I really like the heart rate monitor on this HR model, and it does not need recharding very often. If you do not need the GPS feature (you really don't), this model is the best bang for the buck.

I love it. My daughter bought them at the same time. It works great and the battery lasts a long time. And we have to charge it once a week. The way the charger works is kind of odd. Also the app isn't that great. But they are upgrading it and it's getting better

Way more advanced then the Fitbit for the same price...More features. Easy to use battery last a week. App is user friendly, accurate activity tracking. Truly a smart tracker Only complaints is its kind bulky not as thin as it competition. I got the "purple" looks black most of the time, or dark blue. Could use alittle more personality.!

Downloaded the app to my fon, set up and synced relatively easily. Have been wearing for about a month, no problems. Doesn't always track stairs correctly, or sleep time, but it's close. I wish it wasn't as thick; gets caught on my jacket sleeve. Wouldn't mind if it it were wider but flatter. I do like the waterproof aspect.

It's perfect for any level enthusiasts. Very easy to track all your activities. Battery last a few days and is easy to wear all day.

It looks good and it feels good on the wrist. The features are amazing and the heart rate monitor makes it more fun for those who like to keep track of their BPM. The companion app is great, functional and very easy to use. Overall it's a great buy and you get more than your money's worth. Have fun with your new Vivosmart.

The garmin app is spot on and the my fitness pal app integrates well. Love that it's waterproof. Hr monitor works great except for lifting weights. Kind of odd it tracks perfect hr while running 5 miles, but I lift weights for an hour and it doesn't register a single beat the entire hour. Other than that, it's been great.

I love my vivosmart hr activity tracker. First, it is waterproof, well, up to a certain point, but shower and swimming safe. It is reliable. It is fashionable and easy to sync with my iPhone. I love it! It helps me keep track of my weight, steps, sleep patterns and has many other features. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I'm a fitness "beginner" but I have say...for my use and needs, I love this thing! It's been a great tool for helping me track my fitness and health numbers. The added bonus is the useful connection to simple notifications like texts, calendar reminders, phone calls, etc. It has limited fitness apps that it syncs with... So that could be a bummer but it works well with the My Fitness Pal family of apps and some others. For the money, I'm way happy... Way happier than if I'd have bought a comparable Fitbit.

Swapped out my Vivosmart which was having display issues (was prev returned). Wish that one would have worked out, I could wear on the same wrist as my Tag. The HR is to bulky to pull that off. Currently trying to wear one on each wrist. The HR is definitely the nicer with a lot more features and the heart rate monitor works great.
