    Upgraded from the vivosmart to this new vivosmart HR. Very easy to use, and wear all the time. Nice sized viewing screen, very easy to read and access all the extra perks that are available. Wish it kept a charge longer, that would be the only thing that could make it better.

    I researched trackers extensively before purchasing the Garmin and even waited for them to launch the HR before buying my first tracker. The main reason that I wanted the Garmin was for the continuous heart rate monitoring so that my daily calories were more accurately calculated. The heart rate works intermittently and inaccurately which is my biggest issue and disappointment with this product. Garmin needs to do whatever is necessary to fix this issue, otherwise they're going to be in the same mess as is Fitbit.

      Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I’m sorry to hear about the heart rate troubles that you experienced with your vívosmart HR. The optical heart rate sensor on the vívosmart HR uses light to penetrate the skin and estimate your heart rate. To ensure that you’re getting the best heart rate accuracy, please follow these guidelines:
      - Ensure that your wrist is clean and dry.
      - Ensure that the watch is snug fit.
      - Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist, away from your wrist bone.
      - Avoid wearing the watch over dark tattoos.
      - Ensure the green lights on the watch are functioning.
      Keeping the device software up to date is important as well, as updates are released periodically to improve the watch’s functionality. Software updates can be done through Garmin Express, which can be downloaded here: j.mp/GRMNXP.
      Should accuracy issues persist, Garmin Customer Care would be happy to offer additional troubleshooting and assistance. Please visit j.mp/GRMNSupport for our contact information and hours of operation.
      We value your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. (KS) Garmin

    I liked the way this activity tracker was set up. The display was easy to manipulate and follow. . Unfortunately the light was too dim for me and it was too difficult for me to read. I was never able to learn of a way to increase the brightmess and had to pass on it.

      Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns.

      How the vívosmart HR is worn will play the largest factor in the optical heart rate's accuracy. We recommend reviewing the following FAQ article for information on getting the best accuracy: http://bit.ly/1N7Bvdt

      Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Garmin Customer Care: http://www.garmin.com/support

    For the most part, the step counter seems to be about right, but the heart rate and the stair counter seem to be a little off at time. Says I climbed several stairs when there were none for that day. Heart rate number seems a little odd at time depending on activity.
