    Well to tell the truth I have been a little lazy so I still do not know how to use my Garmin - Vivosmart HR Activity Tracker + Heart Rate to its full potential, But because I have a heart condition I focus on that use, I have tested it against other hart monitoring equipment and am very pleased with the way it works. All in all I am very happy with all aspects of its use so far.

    Good deal for a smart device that you can use with your phone for much more than just tracking your steps. After having the pixels dissappear off our previous vivosmart bands and not being a fan of the other brands models, we tried this one. Battery life is great, about 4 days with active use including BT to the phone. Waterproof ability was big seller vs other ones. Slightly thicker than previous vivosmart but very clear dispkay which you can change the background to silver with black text or black with silver text. Overall good product.

    Great battery life, a lot of cool functions for the price. Only thing is it has to fit snug and it can be slightly irritating at time. Love it and it definitely has contributed to my recent weight loss. Keeps my accountable.

    I replaced my Fitbit Charge HR with the Garmin and am very happy with the choice. It is more durable than the Fitbit and I can swim and shower without removing it. I only wish it had 2 alarms like the Fitbit; it only has 1.

    I love the Garmin Vivosmart. It does steps, workouts (running, walking, aerobics, other) which keep me motivated. It is water resistant so great to use it for water aerobics classes! It monitors sleep which tells you how deep or shallow you sleep.

    Got the Vivosmart HR for my wife. I used it for a couple of weeks & found it to be a great tool for tracking steps, heart rate, timed exercise, among other things. Then tracking your changes on Garmin Connect. It even tracks your sleep. My wife loves it!

    Ok HR monitor for my needs

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I previously owned the Garmin VivoFit and used a POLAR heart rate monitor when exercising. I was tired of wearing the strap and multiple wrist bands during exercise. I also knew I did not need the Forerunner. The Garmin VivoSmart HR is okay. The HR monitor is not as precise as the POLAR strap which I knew prior to purchasing. The setup was easy. It syncs with my Android phone easily. I do have frequent trouble trying to sync it with my MacAir. 2-3 times a week when trying to sync, my watch says "syncing" and goes nowhere. And the Bluetooth indicates that it is not connected and will not connect even though I did not disconnect the Bluetooth. I have emailed Garmin about this issue. They have asked me to contact Customer Service when the issue occurs again. Overall, for the price, the vivoSmart HR works for my needs.

    So much more than I expected. It provides the information I need to be successful in improving my overall health. It's comfortable and stylish. Charges quickly and will last a week in between charges. All the other extra features (alarms, email & call notification, weather, music controls...) are just a big plus. Now I have the motivation I need to reach my goal of a healthier new year !

    greeat tool for monitoring fitness and health (Heart Rate) Would have made 5 stars if I could be sure of the accuracy of steps counted. Good looking device, fits comfortably and I really like the text and call alerts I receive on it.

    Device is great; battery lasts about 5 days (as advertised). App is pretty good (Android); occasionally locks up (not a problem with the device, however.) Only downside of the device is that workouts are automatically assumed to be runs. You can, however, sync with other apps that track other activities (example: Strava for cycling). I would absolutely purchase this product again.

    Great watch with tons of features and you can swim with it. The glass front isn't that durable though and when the water runs across the screen in the shower it presses buttons.

      Thank you very much for your feedback. The vívosmart HR does have a water rating of 5ATM (http://www.garmin.com/waterrating), so you can use it while showering. That being said, we would love an opportunity to look into the touchscreen issues that you've experienced. Please visit http://j.mp/GRMNSupport to contact Garmin Customer Care so that we can troubleshoot this with you. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. (KS) Garmin

    This was a Birthday gift for my husband. He had a Garmin that was 3 yrs old & he loved it. It was lost in the Harvey flood so I replaced it for him with this one. He likes the hr features & updates. Only drawback is the old one had a battery that held charge for over a year. New one has to be charged about every 5 days.....like my Fitbit.
