    Great product, but ergonomics should be better.

    Great product, love the functionality and the battery life (lasts 5 days on a charge). The problems are that the heart rate monitor plate sticks out on the bottom so it's not very comfortable. The other problem is that the band is difficult to put on. Also at $149, the price is well worth it.

    I'd give it a 5 if it wasn't for the fact that it only tracks your steps while walking/running not when you are doing other activities. I do however love the Bluetooth features! I can see all calls and messages through this device as well as skip,pause, or play songs through my iPhone.

    It does all the things a fitness tracker should and is waterproof. True a fitbit has several snazzy features this one's doesn't but for the same price, this Garmin won't belly up if I a) take a shower forgeting to remove. b) wash dishes wearing it. c) get caught in a sudden down pour. Yes there is a waterproof fitbit, but significantly more expensive.

    I originally bought this item because it appeared to be a better product than the Fitbit, besides I have a Garmin GPS. I was disappointed that I could NOT adjust the light on the tracker. Garmin's big sell on this is that you can see the screen in sun light, big deal! I could barely see the screen @ night and its only on for a few seconds to conserve battery life. I attempted to find the adjustments on my app settings but there are none. Another downfall is that the tracker doesn't seem sturdy and is a bit bulky. Three strikes there, i took it back and exchanged it for Fitbit HR. I've had it for a little over a month and I'm very Happy with it.

    I wanted a tracker that would count my steps, give heart rates and be waterproof. I got it with this device. I didn't need gps or other fancy options so I chose this one. I was surprised and pleased with what it could do.

    I had a Garmin Vivofit for several years before it was stolen. That battery only had to be replaced once. So while this Garmin HR is a better product it doesn't have a few things that I'm used to like not having to charge. It also doesn't capture all of my activities and steps. Also, I haven't had it more than a month and the back light has stopped working. Some of the good things include the wrist band. It is like a watch band and much more secure than most fitness tracker bands. You can switch the display width wise or length wise. It shows the basics like steps and calories burned, but it also shows other things like your heart rate, weekly intensity level, number of stairs climbed, phone notifications and even the local weather. It also has a sleep tracker.

    many inaccuracies

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

    The sleep feature is basically useless. It doesn't accurately track my sleep or my movements when sleeping. The stairs tracking is extremely inconsist. Sometimes I can go upand down and down the stairs in my house 4-5 times and it doesn't show as any flights walked. Other times a round trip is counted as one flight, which i am okay with if it were consistent. Steps tracked is close enough to being accurate. Setup and connection to my Garmin Dashboard was very easy and the watch itself is very comfortable, even after days of wearing it. the additional features like the weather, notifications, and music from my phone controls.

    I was going to Best Buy to purchase a Fitbit but the sales associate recommended this one because it was within the same pricepoint and is almost completely water proof! I have been using it with the mobile app and am incredibly happy with it. Very simple to use and comfortable on the wrist.

    This is actually my 4th Garman VivoSmart HR Purchase. I like mine so much that I have purchased 3 others for family and friends. Easy to use for all ages, holding up well to my active lifestyle, much more detailed information can be linked to your cell or android device such as sleep patterns, activity times and levels, etc. Love this VivoSmart HR
