    Original Garmin exchaged due to lighting issue

    Bought this because I loved the original vivosmart, and wanted one with the HR monitor. I prefer the slimmer feel of the original design, but I understand the need for more bulk to support the HR monitor. I had the HR for less than a month when the back lighting suddenly decided to go disco strobe light. Best Buy was great about exchanging it and this one has not had the same issue. The one thing I'm not too thrilled about is the randomness of the blue tooth connectivity. Otherwise, it's a nice tracker.

    The watch is packed with features only complain is the backlight feature could be brighter. I love the fact that it's waterproof.

    I like most functions and a plus is that I can swim with it but wish that the app is better and that the band is changeable.

    The HRM is really accurate for me and it's fun to track my activity levels for the week. The online tool makes it easy to track over a longer period of time. It's perfect for the average person who isn't training for a marathon!

    Replaced me and the wife,s Vivofit with the Vivosmart HR, nice to have the backlight display as well as a touch screen. The HR monitor works well but sometimes it shortchanges us on stairs, overall a nice fitness tracker for the price.

      Thank you for your feedback! The vívosmart HR uses a built-in barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb stairs. 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, the performance of the barometer may become erratic when it comes to reporting the number of floors climbed. If you suspect that this is the case with your device, try using canned air to clear any obstructions or rinse the device with water and allow it to air dry before putting it back on. These suggestions will help to ensure that the barometer is free from obstructions that can cause erratic floors climbed readings. If you continue experiencing inaccuracies, please contact Garmin Customer Care for assistance: http://www.garmin.com/support (KS) Garmin

    Tracks steps well. Wrist band has become loose over time causing it to slip down wrist which can cause readings to be off.
