    I returned this and upgraded for the smart. I like it better because of the features but miss the battery since I now have to remember to recharge it.

    Had this less then a month and the screen started to bleed. Best Buy would not replace it due to there ridiculous 15 return policy. Did call the manufacturer and they are replacing it.

    Got it for my Kids, not such a good product for active kids. The band kept on coming loose, Had to get exchanges twice within 6 months, and finally decided to get a refund.

    Purchased this for my son. He likes it, but the screen got some blotches on it when some water was splashed on it. I thought this was water resistant. It still works though.

    Bought this for my son who is very competitive and wants to count steps. There is already an issue with the LCD screen. It started with a small dot and is now a large dot.

    I did not care for the product and returned it. Band is difficult to close. Instructions were to small of print and I was not interested in having to set up on my computer.

    Not as happy with this as I thought I'd be... Step count isn't accurate. Off by about 1000 steps at the end of the day.

    Good for walking but you must move the arm that the appliance is on. When I cut the lawn it won't mark my steps because I am holding the lawn mower with two hands.

    This is like a typical digital watch. I didn't feel like it was taking my steps. Didn't feel like it did anything special. I returned it.

    Okay product.

    This is my my first activity monitor so I can't really compare with others, but I bought this based on all the reviews, so here are my thoughts on it. Pros: 1. durable: band fits well and does not come off even during playing sports 2. water proof: although I've only wore it during washing arms, etc. I take it off during bath/showers. 3. Stylish, I've gotten compliments on how it looks. 4. Light: I hate wearing watches or anything on my wrist but this thing is small/light enough to not bother me at all 5. Monitors steps, distance, goal, time, date, calories (when used with myfitnesspal) Cons: 1. Sync issues, have to sync like 5-6 times before it works (all manual sync so you have to press and hold until sync shows up on your device 2. Calories are managed through manual input on a 3rd party app called myfitnesspal. Really annoying between going through myfitnesspal app and then have that sync with garmin connect app and then down to your device. 3. Not completely accurate measurement, prob off by like 300-400 steps out of 8k which is not bad b/c I'm sure none of the monitors are exact. I think overall the product is not bad for the price but the two cons are huge and if you are like me then the apps, sync, etc matter. If you want the basic stuff out of it then you'll be happy with the product. I actually like myfitnesspal app better than garmin connect and my next product will be one that either uses myfitnesspal app all together or the vendor's app so I wouldn't have to have 2 diff apps for one product.

      The vivofit does not require a charging cable. It will use two CR1632 batteries that are designed to last up to one year. This means that the vivofit will not need to be charged. Thank you for taking time to review the vivofit. Garmin
