    I love how easy to use this activity tracker is! I work for the government and can't have Bluetooth on while I'm at work so I can turn it off when I'm at work!

    So many features in one little item. Appears to be very accurate. The weather feature and when it reminds me to move are great!! Highly recommend over the fitbit.

    This is my second Garmin. I love this one. The band is great compared to my last one. The heart monitor works great as well. I love that I can change the display.

    Too many issues

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. She had sync issues starting on the first day of use and they continued intermittently. She was especially let down by the fact that the device is waterproof yet it doesn't record swimming specific activity data. Also, because the device records everything as a running activity by default and she is not a runner, in conjunction with no swimming specific data it required a lot of manual input. Ultimately she dealt with all of this for 3 weeks until one day she came home and the screen would not come on at all. She used the app on her phone to change the default screen on the device and suddenly it was working again. A couple days later the screen went out again and this time she was not able to get it to come back on. The device was within the extended holiday return period at Best Buy, so she returned it and got a FitBit Charge HR. She figured if she couldn't rely on a device to record swimming specific data, she might as well get a highly regarded device for everything else and just manually record the swimming.

      Thank you for reviewing the vívosmart HR. We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience from day one. This particular model is not designed to record swimming metrics, as with most of our devices the water rating is 5 ATM. Garmin has watches that track swimming metrics, like the Forerunner 920XT and the Garmin Swim. Although you have returned the product, we want you to know our customer support team is available to address any of the issues described and more. Contact information can be found at www.garmin.com/us/support. Again, we want to apologize for the experience. Best regards. ~QKO Garmin

    HR monitor appears to be very accurate based on comparison with my BP device. Step counter is less accurate. With Bluetooth connectivity to your phone, it is nice to preview texts and email on your wrist. Purchased on Black Friday sale for less than half retail. Would not pay full price for this.
