    This product is exactly what I was looking for. I like that it is not too bulky in design and is very functional. It is a good reminder to stay active during the day. My wife wears a different brand so the only thing I could say that is slightly negative is that hers has more creative reminders whereas mine just simply demands Move!

    It worked good for a few months then I had a hard time getting it to sync with the tablet that I was using to monitor my progress. Returned to Best Buy for refund.

      Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear about the sync trouble that you experienced with your vívosmart HR. Although you already returned your device, I wanted to take a moment to offer some troubleshooting suggestions that could help others who may be experiencing issues like yours.

      It’s important to ensure that the vívosmart HR, Garmin Connect Mobile, and your tablet are all up to date. The vívosmart HR can be updated via Garmin Express (j.mp/GRMNXP), and steps on how to do so can be found here: http://bit.ly/1I21mhx. Garmin Connect Mobile can be updated through the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store, depending on which tablet you own. Instructions on how to update the operating software on your tablet vary, so I suggest consulting the Owner's Manual.

      It’s also important to ensure that you’re following the pairing steps as they’re listed here: http://bit.ly/1HUU84d. The vívosmart HR periodically synchronizes data with Garmin Connect Mobile automatically, but instructions on how to manually sync your data at any time can be found here: http://bit.ly/1MESpg0. If syncing issues persist, please visit j.mp/GRMNSupport to contact Garmin Customer Care for additional troubleshooting and assistance.

      Again, we appreciate taking the time to provide us with your feedback. (KS) Garmin

    This is more thatn a watch that measures heart rate. I like how it connects through bluetooth to my iPhone through the app, but sometimes it has trouble connecting. Also the display could be a bit brighter.

    I bought the Garmin vivosmart HR as a gift for my brother since he wanted to start tracking his daily activities in detail. This is a great tracking device and it's pretty nice to have the added smart features like incoming calls, text notification (it shows you a little bit of your messages, not the whole thing) and other bluetooth features

    I was looking for a way to keep track of some of my general fitness stats. One of my friends suggested a fitness watch. My husband bought my Garmin Vivosmart for an early birthday surprise. We had checked out several brands and styles and I am so thrilled with my Garmin. It is user friendly and so light weight I couldn't be happier.

    This device works great for normal activity. It also handles treadmills and elliptical machines well. The mobile garmin connect app is good. Love the fact that is handles swimming which means I can wear it in the shower.
