I would recommend this to a friendLogs miles I'm driving
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a fitbit first and after washing my hands the water killed mine return that. Bought the garmin. Great functionality but could they make it anymore cheap feeling for the price. I returned mine because it kept logging miles I drive. The watch is GPS logged so it goes with your movement.

Posted .Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear you returned your vívoactive, but wanted to address your concerns. The device is GPS enabled, but this would be used during activities such as running or cycling.
If the activitity tracking feature is enabled, this may be what was causing extra steps to occur, particularly when driving over bumpy terrain.
The device does not use GPS for activity tracking. Like most activity/step trackers, Garmin Activity Trackers have sensors that are designed to track repetitive walking motion as steps. While occasionally certain movements may mimic a similar motion and cause these devices to accumulate a few steps, your overall daily step trends and goals should not be significantly affected by extra counted steps.

Ultimately, Garmin devices that feature activity tracking are intended to be tools to provide you with information to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle. The data and information provided by these devices is intended to be a close estimation of your activity, but may not be completely accurate, including step, sleep, distance and calorie data. Garmin activity trackers are not medical devices, and the data provided by them is not intended to be utilized for medical purposes and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Garmin recommends that you consult your doctor before engaging in any exercise routine.
The vívoactive activity tracking feature works very well at giving an overall snapshot of daily activity, including your steps, distance traveled, calories burned, heart rate, and more. They remind you when it's time to move, and assign an attainable personal daily goal. As you meet your milestones, they adjust your goal for the next day, gradually nudging you toward a more active lifestyle.
We appreciate your feedback. Thanks again. *CG

Great fitness watch and smartwatch
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried many different fitness trackers and this one is the best so far. Tried the Misfit, Vivofit, Vivosmart and Polar M400 and had an older fitbit clip. This one is the best I tried, followed closely by the Polar and the Vivosmart. The Polar and this one are very close with the edge going to this with smart notifications, autosyncing and Connect IQ setting it apart. Pros of this tracker are: Customizable workouts to select from such as outdoor activities and indoor activities. By customizable you can set which data fields you want displayed, things like speed, distance, heartrate etc... for each activity. GPS is very good and locks quickly. Abiltiy to attach multiple sensors to it, I have used a garmin heart chest strap and Mio Fuse with this without any problems. Looking forward to adding a bike cadence and speed sensor to this. Connect IQ apps allow you to get different watch interfaces so you can get more information on main screen. I have downloaded a watch face which shows time, date, steps for the day with progress toward goal, distance, calories burned and the activity bar. You can change fields displayed for different workouts, for example you can have an indoor walk where all you display is heart rate, heart rate zone or you can add more fields to it as well. The activity reminder(vibration) to tell you have not been active enough is a real motivator to get you moving. Smart Notifications work well and have saved me from missing phone calls that I normally would miss if phone was in pocket or sitting on kitchen counter. Syncing with my phone worked flawlessly, I read where someone was having issues with this but mine works great with my Android phone. Cons: Display is a little dim for a darker room, I believe it is a reflective type display which is aided by extra room light or outdoor light. In a dim room it is harder to see, but it does have a backlight button for those situations. It is not going to have a vibrant display like a Samsung Galaxy Fit. Sleep tracker is very basic and detects movement, but overall I am not so interested in this function. Final thoughts: I think this is the best tracker out there at the moment that fits in the category of fitness tracker and smartwatch. Yes there are better fitness devices like the Fenix 3 or 920xt but those are $450+ and this has most of those features. With the way technology in this area is evolving there will be newer, better, more advanced devices coming but if you want a great one now, get this one.
