Customer Ratings & Reviews

The only improvement I could suggest would be to have the face a little larger for reading messages and such.

I love seeing my daily activities and competing in step challenges. I have never walked so much in my life...

I researched fitness watches a long time before buying. I am happy with my purchase. Make sure to tighten the watch during your workout. I love that it is water proof.

I brought these as Christmas gifts and purchased one for myself as well. I found that it tracked workouts well but it wouldn't connect to my Samsung phone. I eventually returned mine for the Samsung gear watch.

Pros: provides steps, heart rate, calories tracker, text message and call notifications, lightweight Cons: display is a bit small. Some may have trouble reading it.

I use it constantly. It has all the bells and whistles. Garmin and Geek squad provide great customer service.

I purchased this activity tracker for my daughter as a holiday gift. I thought the price at $120 was a good sale but the day after ordering on line it was $99! When i called Betty Buy they said to bring it into the store and they would credit me the difference. Since it took 2 more days for it to be delivered, i was doubtful. But when I went to customer service, they not only refunded the $20 but also the service plan was $10 less. Nice surprise. So i decided to buy one for myself! Ordered on line as the store price was still $120. Be sure you check both sites before buying to get the best deal. Hope it works well!

Our son wanted it for his birthday. He loves it and likes the fact that it get notifications from his phone.

It is very light and I hardly know I am wearing it. It keeps track of stairs climbed, distance walked, heart rate , calories and much more. I really like that it notifies me when I get an email or phone call as I don't always hear my phone when it's in my pocket or in another room.

Love my new garmin.. had the vivofit for 2.5 years then decided to upgrade. Only thing I don't like about this is having to charge it , but other then that no complaints

I've tried the Microsoft Band v1, Fitbit Surge, Basis Peak, and Jawbone Up3 before trying this device that I've had for 2 days now. They've all had their ups and downs. The Band was overall very good but didn't play well with iOS. The Surge was great but big and gave me skin irritation. The Peak has a replaceable band and was extremely detailed but always thought I was falling asleep if I was sitting in a meeting or at my desk at work and no data was editable so I was stuck with false events and it only tracked running and cycling without a way to tell it you were doing other activity, which was a majority of my activity. And the UP3 has a very user friendly app but couldn't record live HR data, and it fell off somewhere because the slide clasp liked to slide by itself from time to time (I hope whoever finds it wears it in good health). So when it came time to replace my UP3, I went with the new Garmin since it had the live HR that I really wanted. So far, I'm not disappointed. Setup was pretty easy. It played very well with iOS, but the website to download the updater didn't seem to like Safari on my Mac, so I just used Firefox instead. I was up and running in less than 10 minutes. It charged very quickly from the USB on my laptop, and the enclosed clip fits very snug. The fit is very comfortable. I got the regular size, and there is plenty of room. With the Surge, I needed to get the bigger one because the regular was so small I was on one of the last few holes and I felt like that wasn't secure enough, and my wrists aren't that big. The Vivosmart HR leaves me at least an inch and a half to two inches of band. The notches in the band are close enough to give a pretty good fit. The HR reading in activity mode was on point with the HR monitor on the exercise bike at the gym this morning, usually within one beat if it wasn't exact. (I wear it tight enough that it doesn't pinch my skin, but when I take it off I can see where the sensor was pressing into my arm) I don't personally use it but it kept track of my flights of stairs accurately as well. Music controls work just fine, and so does the find your phone option (had to try it just once). It seems to keep track of sleep as accurately as any of the other trackers do, but I like that it minimizes false events by asking when you typically go to sleep and looking for sleep more in that time-frame. I also like that during that time-frame, it also automatically silences alerts like the move notification (which you can turn off in settings if you choose) and phone notifications. IMO that's a great automatic feature, without having to manually tell it every night ok, I'm going to bed, shut up now. The app looks pretty good overall. I'm still getting used to it versus the other apps, but it has a decent amount of data. I also like the black background vs the white on every other app, and I like the seamless and almost immediate sync with Myfitnesspal. Most of the other apps if they do sync take forever. What I would like to see changed: --When tagging the beginning of an activity from the band, ask what I'm doing. Not everyone strictly runs. One additional option shouldn't be that hard to add. Even if you add a swipe screen that says Gym Equipment, Eliptical/Treadmil, Run, or Other before confirming start of the activity. --Change goals from Weekly to Daily in the app, or let me toggle. Personally I like keeping track on a daily basis, not a weekly basis. --Add a public/social feed for people that want to find friends. The base layer is already there, but just add the feed to let people find friends easier. See the UnderArmour app for an example. People can keep their activity private if they like, but if they want to post publicly, others can like or comment on it and add them as friends from the public post. Overall though, I like the product. Out of all the ones I've tried this is the first one that I've liked just about everything about from the beginning and haven't had doubts about as soon as I opened the box. The price is right, it has a good company backing it, good features, and a good app. It lacks a GPS but that's not something I personally need, and if you're running with a phone for music, most phones have that capability today. So if the GPS isn't a dealbreaker for you, I strongly recommend you take a look at this before some of the more expensive trackers.

I needed a watch, first and foremost. With all the other features, I see this as a great watch with super benefits. Has worked perfectly. No issues with maintaining a charge. I just charge it up every 4 or 5 days. I sync it with my IPad every few days. It maintains the memory and updates my charts.

Very accurate tracking of steps. I did not read the manual so not using to the max potential. Only downside is that the battery needs to be charged about every three days.

Bought for my teen son. He loves how easy it is to see and the phone notifications it gets as well. It is useful during school sports and loves the fact it can get wet.

Bought one each for my parents who seem to like them so far. They will be setting up a Geek Squad appointment to learn more about how to use all the features.

I keep my watch on my arm 24/7. The battery life is great, I only charge it once a week. Even though I'm still learing about the watch, I'm glad I've purchased it.

Not being exactly tech savvy I must say ease of use was #1 and this did not disappoint. The Garmin app takes you step by step in setup and use. Its been over a month and I couldn't be happier. I would even say just having it on my wrist motivates me daily. Linking to other fitness apps is a bonus!

Awesome product & I would highly recommed this particular item for anyone looking for this type of product.

I bought this for my brother because he is always working out. He said he loves it and always has it on. Keeps up with his heart rate, workout time, and calories lost.

More health information than my previous one. Am having trouble with it continuing to sync or not with my computer.
