    It does everything it says it's supposed to do. The step counter is pretty accurate and it has a lot of cool features. I haven't gone swimming with it yet but the sleep monitor is pretty cool. I love it!!

    Generally, I like the Garmin activity tracker, but it comes up short, due primarily to the features of the app. I liked the detail provided by my previous fitbit app, and this device doesn't have some of the same features. It does appear to be of better quality than my fitbit and the battery charge lasts longer.

    I received this for Christmas 2016. I have really liked this watch. I love that I can be alerted to my texts/calls/notifications and that my steps are counted as well as the ability to set it for workouts.

    Good tracker - covers basics. Average otherwise.

    While this covers the basics (counts steps, reminds you to move after a period of inactivity, etc.), the overall system (especially the app) does not do a lot to motivate or inform. There is data, not enough information. The optical HR is only moderately accurate especially while exercising. Waterproofing is a plus - very convenient. Not being able to connect with a chest HR sensor is a minus.

    The garmin vivosmart hr is a great fitness tracker for the price. It took a while to get use to sleeping in it to track my sleep. I wear it everywhere, even in the shower, cant do that with the fitbit.

    This is a very well designed activity tracker! Light-weight with an interface that is easily viewable. This surpasses the Vivofit in terms of screen visibility and the added feature of the heart rate monitor is a definite plus. I use this tracker everyday and honestly wish I had purchased this first then the previous two generations of garmin products along this line! Tip!: If your not planning on using the sleep function turn the device off at night to preserve battery life.

    I've had my Garmen for a couple of weeks now and I love it! It tracks everything I need it to. The only thing that's a negative for me is that there is a piece that bulges out under that watch and it hurts sometimes.

    I have been using this fitness tracker for almost and year and find that it compares walking/running activities to my Garmin Forerunner pretty closely. The only thing which could use improvement is the stair tracking because sometimes it doesn't track those accurately. Overall pleased with my purchase.

    I have been pretty happy with item, heart rate is off sometimes when working out, but still happy with it overall.

      Many thanks for your feedback. If your heart rate isn't always accurate when working out, just make sure the watch is snug and not moving around on your wrist. Also, be sure to keep the sensor as free of moisture/sweat as possible. This should help improve the HR sensor's effectiveness.
