    I broke this watch while in the Military, but if you’re just using this for casual wear, it’s probably a great watch.

    Well reviewed and lived up to its reviews. To me it is significantly nicer than the comparable (in terms of price) Fitbit. It is water proof and has a good touch display. The only weakness is the owners manual, which is just OK.

    My only negative is that it's bulky and the band is hard. I prefer the band of my original VivoSmart over this one. Still a great product

    Tried this to replace an outdated Fitbit. Overall it was fine but ended back with a newer Fitbit because I was used to the interface.

    I have a desk job. Some days I feel stuck to it. The VivoSmart reminds me to get up for a bit to at least stretch my legs. It does a great job of keeping up with my steps and syncs with my iPhone flawlessly. When I meet my goals it cheers for me.

      We are sorry to hear that you didn't find the vivosmart HR to be the right size for you. We have other activity trackers within our vivo line that are different sizes and would encourage you to explore these options to see if there is something that will fit all of your needs.

      Thank you for the review.

    I bought this activity tracker after researching activity trackers extensively. The Vito'smart HR is easy to use and provides accurate heart rate information compared to cardio machine readings. Garvmin Connect is a very robust app/website.

    I started with the basic garmin and moved up. I LIKE the fact that the wrist band locks like a regular watch band instead of the buttons that kept coming undone. I like that it notifiys me of text messages and travel time and alerts.

    Great Product But Expected More

    I loved my Vivofit2 and wanted to upgrade to this one. It comes with pros and cons. Recharging the battery is a pain in the butt, at least once a week I have to take it off to do this and I miss out on activities while doing so. Yes, I could do it at night but then I miss out on sleep monitoring. The band is not as comfortable and I do not have the option to change color styles either, which was a great option on the other one.

      Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear about the charging trouble that you experienced with your vívosmart HR. The rechargeable battery in vivosmart HR can last up to 5 days on a single charge. Various factors including backlight, frequency of smart notifications, and wrist-based heart rate monitoring can shorten battery life in between charges. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for tips on how to maximize battery life: http://bit.ly/1NTMCJC.

      I'm also sorry to hear that you didn't like the fit and feel of your vívosmart HR. If you have any suggestions for design improvements, we would love to hear them and encourage you to submit them to the Garmin Ideas Portal (j.mp/GRMNIdeas). If you have any additional questions or comments, please visit j.mp/GRMNSupport to contact Garmin Customer Care for assistance. Again, thank you so much for providing us with your feedback.

    This Garmin fitness tracker is well made and I love the large viewing screen and large fonts. Has everything you really need. I have had no issues with the Garmin app. Former fitbit user.

    I really like this piece, but exchanged it for a SAMSUNG because it was more compatible with my phone! My daughter has this Garmin Vivosmart HR Activity tracker and I would have stayed with it if it hadn't been for having a SAMSUNG phone.

    I have had it for a while and all was good. Now I don't know if it because of updates with the phone or the app, but it doesn't always connect. I have to turn it off and on. Notifications don't come to the watch like it in the beginning. When I get another one I wouldn't get this one the screen is just to hard to work with (to small).

    My wife loves her Vivosmart HR. It has almost entirely replaced her watch. She lives the fact that it prompts her to move, that she can set goals and it's fun doing physical activity to reach those goals. All in all, great purchase.
