Garmin tops Fitbit by leaps and bounds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Garmin wearable fitness monitor is many times more helpful than the Fitbit that my spouse had bought for me. Approximately the same price as the Fitbit that my wife has, the Garmin has worked flawlessly over almost the year that I have had it. The charge last many days without the need to recharge. The Garmin is water resistant and shock resistant as well. Initially, I was uncertain if I would wear the Garmin past the health challenge that I purchased this for. However, after an initial breakin period, I wear this almost 24/7. Positively recommend this fitness monitor.

Good little activity tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE this activity tracker! The only negative is still that the heart rate sensor kinda digs into my bony wrist (I had a fitbit Charge HR that did the same thing) :( I love the smart notifications, alarms, sleep monitor, and that it's water proof. Holds charge for 3-5 days, if you're wearing it 24/7. No issues. Purchased on black friday and essentially got two for the price of one!

Excellent unit!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Garmin VivoFit before. I really liked it for just the basics. I got this one for my daughter when Best Buy had a really good sale. She wasn't sure she wanted one because at 20 yrs old it might not be "cool". When she works out she likes the fact she can see her heart rate, how many miles she has gone, etc but the BIG selling point with her was when she first put it on and it vibrated. She looked down and saw that a friend send her a snap chat message. She went to her phone and looked. Wow - she was hooked. She can get all of her notifications (Facebook, twitter, snap chat, etc). She loves it!!

Love It!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is perfect for what I need! It seems very accurate tracking steps and calories. I love that it syncs with MyFitnessPal. It has really helped get me over a weight loss plateau and get me more active and losing weight again. It's very easy to use and sync, and I've had no issue with the battery. I usually put it on the charger while I take a shower and my battery has stayed full. I've had it for about 6 months now. It's been worn in the water to the pool and at the beach. The only thing I don't like is that the screen can be easily scratched. Other than that, it's exactly what I needed and I love it!

Keeps my wife hopping.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife uses her Vivosmart continually. The only time it's off of her wrist is for battery charging. She gets 5 days out of a charge. The tracking is excellent. We have not utilized all of the tracking features yet but continue to be impressed with the available data and notices. When deciding what to purchase, the waterproof feature was the deal maker. My wife wears the Vivosmart to the gym for aqua-aerobics and a host of other exercise programs. She is delighted with the Vivosmart.

Great Activity Tracker For Beginners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Water proof, connects with a range of different apps, easy to navigate. Hit or miss on HR tracking sometimes. Counts me as climbing stairs when I am not.

Posted .We appreciate your review. It's great to hear you're happy with the device, and it's ease of use.
I would like to address the heart rate and stairs climbed issues you mentioned.
The optical heart rate sensor on your device uses light to penetrate your skin and estimate your heart rate. This allows you to get heart rate information without the need for an external sensor. To ensure best possible accuracy, please see the steps in the following link from our FAQ's:
http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/simpleCase.htm?caseId={1ae59670-f437-11e4-dfa6-000000000000}&kbName=garmin
With regard to the stairs climbed feature, the device uses a built-in barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb stairs. For this reason, the device may display that you have climbed floors while walking or running outdoors when increasing elevation by 10 feet and walking/running at a grade of 8% or higher.
Another thing to consider; the barometer is located on the back of the device near the charging contacts. These small holes help the device accurately detect elevation change.
If these small holes become obstructed, it's possible the performance of the barometer may become erratic when reporting the number of floors climbed. Please see the following link for more information:
http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/simpleCase.htm?caseId={066faa50-c538-11e5-e505-000000000000}&kbName=garmin
Our support team is here to help. If you have any questions or need further assistance with the heart rate, stairs climbed, or any other feature, please feel free to contact Garmin support directly at: www.garmin.com/us/support
We value your feedback. Thanks again. *CG

Pleased with its look and performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Vivosmart HR almost a year ago after researching for an AT with favorable reviews. I've owned a Nike Fuel band and currently have a Garmin 920XT which is my running watch but is also an excellent activity tracker in itself, with a GPS and HR monitor (via chest strap). I wanted to buy an activity monitor that was fashionable and that measured the HR through the wrist. I haven't been disappointed in it. The charge lasts about 5-7 days and the gathered metrics compile a good picture of your activities, viewed through Garmin Connect's website. I'm pleased with this purchase.

A definite upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The vivosmart was a decent tracker but had quality issues as I went through 3 devices in less than 1 year. This second iteration is far better qulity, albeit a bit bulkier. Overall a great device with fairly accurate HR sensor compared to my chest strap HR sensor.

Love it. Works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife purchased as a gift for me. I am surprised at how much I love it. Helps to remind me to stay active. Measures steps, calories and heart rate. Connects via Bluetooth to my phone. Lets me know when I am getting a call or allows me to preview messages. So far (2 months) i have lost 12 pounds just by remembering to "move". When my wrist vibrates I get up and walk around the building or climb a flight of stairs or two. Only down side is it doesn't always track the correct number of stairs i have climbed. The accuracy for the steps is close enough for me.

Love this!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that this let's me know when I get emails or text messages on my phone and gives me the first couple of lines so I know if it is important to reply to. I also love the heart rate monitor and it syncs easily on my android phone.
