I bought the Garmin Vivofit ‑ Activity Tracker ‑ Black from my gym, lifetime fitness in Maryland .
Mainly as a pedometer . It does not count when you go up the stairs ! & sometimes you take one step & it counts 3!
But that's not all the problem, after 10 months the screen went half black ! Gone!
I called the manufacturer after sending the defected one they sent me a refurbished one . Good so far , right? By the way ,Some of my friends recommended not to let water get on it , while it says water resistant ! Which I did not use around water !
But in less than 3 months this one is the same
& is not showing half of the screen !
I am giving up , not buying anything from Garmin again !

Thanks for your review.
The vívofit is not designed to track stairs or floors climbed. It looks for a natural walking movement to determine if a step has been taken. For more information on this, please visit the following FAQ article: http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/simpleCase.htm?caseId={2a175810-d226-11e3-e635-000000000000}&kbName=garmin
The vívofit has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, so some water should not affect the display. Please visit the following website for more information regarding water resistance ratings: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating

I bought this for my wife as a present and she really wasn't feeling it after she was having problems setting and syncing it up, but If that could get fixed or was easier, I think the product was pretty cool other than that! Compatibility is a huge factor though... and her iPhone 6 was having problems connecting so I don't know. Hope this helps!

We have been looking for a fitness tracker for our son, and this is perfect! He doesn't have to worry about charging it, and I couldn't beat the price!

My son loves it! He's in sports and many of his friends have one too and they get competitive on how many steps or mules they do in a day. Keeps him active!

Not bad just needing to sync to another app for calorie counting makes it not as easy as the Fitbit.

Got this for my mother, who didn't want anything to difficult to use, as she is not very tech savvy. Fit the bill; she is happy with the product.

This was an okay started exercise tracker. It was just not enough hi tech for me. I ended up returning it and got a Fitbit instead.
