Works great, but not perfect.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Generally, I like the Garmin activity tracker, but it comes up short, due primarily to the features of the app. I liked the detail provided by my previous fitbit app, and this device doesn't have some of the same features. It does appear to be of better quality than my fitbit and the battery charge lasts longer.
I would recommend this to a friend Product is great. . love that it is water proof
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the product has worked perfectly. I don't like how syncing the device to my phone takes up so much storage space.

Great monitor.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does everything it says it's supposed to do.

Great activity tracker, heart rate function ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall good activity tracker. Have had some issues with the heart rate monitor and the tracking of intensity minutes.

Good tracker - covers basics. Average otherwise.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While this covers the basics (counts steps, reminds you to move after a period of inactivity, etc.), the overall system (especially the app) does not do a lot to motivate or inform. There is data, not enough information. The optical HR is only moderately accurate especially while exercising. Waterproofing is a plus - very convenient. Not being able to connect with a chest HR sensor is a minus.

Good Heart rate monitor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like almost everything about it except having to charge it once a week. Not a fan of having to charge it that often.

Great fitness tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The garmin vivosmart hr is a great fitness tracker for the price. It took a while to get use to sleeping in it to track my sleep. I wear it everywhere, even in the shower, cant do that with the fitbit.

- Pros mentioned:Heart rate
Ideal starter activity tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very well designed activity tracker! Light-weight with an interface that is easily viewable. This surpasses the Vivofit in terms of screen visibility and the added feature of the heart rate monitor is a definite plus. I use this tracker everyday and honestly wish I had purchased this first then the previous two generations of garmin products along this line! Tip!: If your not planning on using the sleep function turn the device off at night to preserve battery life.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Water resistance
Great product at good price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product works very well and is amazingly accurate! Also water resistant, which is a big plus if you are a swimmer like me!
I would recommend this to a friend Works for me!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had my Garmen for a couple of weeks now and I love it! It tracks everything I need it to. The only thing that's a negative for me is that there is a piece that bulges out under that watch and it hurts sometimes.

Posted .Thank you so much for using the vívosmart HR and writing a review about it. We’re very happy to hear the device is working well for you. We apologize for any discomfort you’re getting from the optical sensor inside the band. Please be sure that it’s not on too tight.

Great tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been pretty happy with item, heart rate is off sometimes when working out, but still happy with it overall.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .Many thanks for your feedback. If your heart rate isn't always accurate when working out, just make sure the watch is snug and not moving around on your wrist. Also, be sure to keep the sensor as free of moisture/sweat as possible. This should help improve the HR sensor's effectiveness.
