    I wanted just what this watch delivered. Needed to tell time and Date. And keep track of steps. And also it in the dark. I very much enjoyed getting text message notifications on the watch as well as who is calling.

    It is a great unit. Only thing I do not care for is the stair checker is not very accurate I go up and down stair cases all day from my job and at end of day it will say I've only gone up three flights of stairs

    This Garmin does it all. I had a fit bit returned it and bought this one. I will say very durable. I bumped it many times and no scratches which makes me happy. A great purchase I bought another for a gift.

    I am partial to Garmin products as I haven't had much of any issue. I bought this for my mother-in-law. It is great product. Con -The screen lettering is a little small and can't change the size.

    This watch seems to perform well. Got it for our daughter who needed something to count steps while out in the elements walking, running, etc. I haven't heard her complaining about anything, so . . .

    This product was purchased for entertainment for a toddler. It was to be used car rides. It worked very well, and because it comes with two screens, two people can be entertained at once. High quality product.

    Good value for your money

    I very recently joined a gym, and wanted to upgrade my Jawbone Up to something that tracked my heart rate. I was considering getting a Fitbit, but after hearing that they can cause rashes, I decided to steer against it since I already have very sensitive skin. I was considering getting a Jawbone Up 3 because I liked the style of it, but it was a little bit more than I wanted to spend. Then I found a review of the brand new Garmin Vivosmart HR, and was sold on the fact that it was waterproof. Some pros about the product: -The time/date stays on the screen all the time without always lighting up, which is nice. -The Vivosmart HR tracks stairs climbed, though I'm not sure how accurate it is, as I did the Stairmaster for 38 floors & my Vivosmart only said I had done 1. Will investigate that later. -The notifications screen is easy to navigate through and a gentle tap on the screen either allows you to clear or read the notification. -The vibration setting for the alarm is just right for waking you up without being obnoxious. -There's a "find my phone" feature that sends a signal from your Vivosmart right to your cell phone in case you lose it. Cons: -The stairs tracker doesn't seem to work properly, as mentioned above. -The screen is ultra-sensitive, so it changes on you when you even so lightly tap it. -You have to be IN the app on your smartphone in order for it to sync. -The battery life doesn't seem to be too great (I've only had it two days & I've already charged it twice), but it doesn't take long to fully charge it. So far, I like it. I think it has everything I want and more. I think it is a good value for your money, and it's more attractive looking than the Fitbit Charge HR.

      Thank you very much for the thorough review. The vivosmart HR uses a barometer to measure floors climbed. As a result, it will not be able to measure floors climbed on a Stairmaster.
      The vivosmart HR will automatically sync your data throughout the day. The app does need to be running on your phone, but it is fine for it to be in the background. You can make it sync by going to the app, but this is not required.
      Battery life can vary depending on your settings. We would be happy to help you further with this, or any other issue, if you have the chance to reach out to Garmin Fitness Support.  http://www.garmin.com/us/support/contact
