    I was looking at many different bands before choosing this one. What sold me was the heart rate monitor for the price. I had an older vivo smart (no hr monitor) and it worked great for me until the band broke. Lots of wear and tear. I wanted something durable and with hr monitor. It tracks my steps , calories burnt, stairs, intensity minutes, cardio, swimming exercises and many more. The only thing I wish it had was the year long battery life like the newer vivo fit 3.

    HR monitor is the crucial component and very accurate, while the bells and whistles of notifications, music control, weather forecast, etc... are cool to use too and very functional. The only reason I took a star off was because the phone app could definitely use some flare and better ease of use. Still manage to use fine, just have to take some time to get to understand it and figure out how best to use it for your goals. Overall though, a great buy that I use everyday!

    I upgraded to this from the lower model for the heartrate function, but Im glad I did because I got much more. Better battery life, tons of new features and a slick new interface to name a few. The led screen is much more readable. The band fits better than the older band which made me happy as well. This thing is a must for anyone looking to stay active throughout the day.

    So far the Vivosmart HR lives up to my expectations. The heart rate tracking is fairly accurate. I get about 5 days on a charge. It only counts "active minutes" if your heart rate is accelerated, so make sure to get that pulse moving if you are trying to hit goals in that area. Elevation counts every 10 feet. Most stairways in homes are 8 feet. However, if you are walking around in a hilly area, you will find that it will register stairs. Needless to say, I don't take much stock in the stair count. Love the text/notification/phone call feature, as well as the weather, and the ability to control my music player on a run. Get to know all it can do. It's packed with a lot of features that many don't use. Pretty cool little device for the money.

    Nice gadget, the first one would not connect or charge but Best Buy swapped it out no fuss, no hassle. Replacement is great, charges and data links fine. In this price range it's Fitbit or Garmin basically, and if you want to get in the water Garmin is rated for 5 ATM, Fitbit is maybe OK if it gets splashed. Weird thing is the Garmin directions say keep away from water and that it is good for swimming. Got to love generic warning pages for electronics. My wife swims for an hour every day with it on and it is working fine. We haven't figured out how to keep swimming motion from showing up as steps taken, but my wife is more interested in the pulse functions in any event. Software works with Windows Vista and 7 here, no Linux version available.

    well designed item. Has all the usual fitness tracker features. In addition have found the sleep monitoring handy and have already used the "find my phone" feature sorry to say. Although the item comes with free Geek Squad set up, I didn't find it necessary as it was intuitive to set up and then to download the app and sync to phone.

    This garmin is a great item. Not only do I get to use it as a watch, but it keeps track of steps, calories, and other exercise features. It also measures sleep and heart rate which is just an added bonus.

    I read a variety of reviews and also on one the Wirecutter where it recommended this as the best fitness tracker at the time. I like how it tracks sleep habits and I can view that on the accompanying smartphone app. Months ago I had a problem where it would not sync with the smartphone app even when the phone is connected with the smartphone app via bluetooth. Occasionally and more frequently, I get the "syncing failed". Overall, I enjoy having this product.

    Vivosmart hr tracks steps fairly well. The heart rate monitor doesn't continously monitor causing the reading to be incorrect when doing hiit workouts.

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

      A custom step length can be set to improve the vívosmart HR's step accuracy. For instructions on how to set this, please visit the following FAQ article: http://bit.ly/1MUpBCp

      The optical heart rate monitor does all-day recording; however, for improved heart rate during HIIT or other workouts, we recommend recording as an activity: http://bit.ly/1NK2tXR
