Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thing is great, for the most part. Offers most of the features of a watch style fitness tracker in a smaller package. Has Garmin's newest heart rate sensor and gives better sleep tracking with sleep score. GPS comes from your phone, which is fine for something of this size. You also get all of Garmin's data without the need of any extra monthly subscriptions, unlike Fitbit. The only caveat that makes this a 4 Star product is they removed the barometric altimeter from the VS4, which removes its ability to track stair climbing. It would also be nice if there was an always on feature for the OLED screen to read the time. If these things don't bother you, this is easily a 5-Star product.

The Vivosmart has been good so far. I was frustrated though that it wasn't ready to pick up at the store next day like the website said when I was ordering. It took a few days to arrive and I discovered I couldn't cancel the order while it was in transit. Moral of the story - Best Buy website available times should be treated with suspicion.

Got this as a backup to my Withings watch. It is much better at measuring exercise (step counts, swimming laps) but much worse at measuring vital signs (overnight O2, heart rate). Definitely a decent backup, though, and I now wear it for exercise measurement purposes in addition to the Withings watch. I am probably spoiled, but my Withings watch lasts for at least a week and up to a month, so the 2-3 days the Garmin manages is less than impressive.

I've had it for two years now. It covers a lot of health metrics for the price and is pretty durable for workouts and everyday wear. The unit can be taken out of the band for cleaning. Drawbacks: the touch screen can be finicky, especially if your body temp is up high or if anything is smudged on it. A few times the heart rate monitor has failed to pick up my heartrate accurately during a workout and once it froze in the middle of a strength training session so I couldn't use the set function and had to completely restart it to get it unfrozen. The band can irritate the skin on your wrist if you don't keep the underside clean and wear it too tight. I don't enable the PulseOx function so it's able to run about about 6-7 days between charges and charging it fully takes less than an hour.

The watch is comfortable and easy to use! I wish the charge held longer.

So far, it’s good. Still trying to learn how everything works. Like the battery life a lot. Was used to FitBit Luxe so trying to get used to the different way that this Garmin functions. This was the closest thing I could find to the Luxe.

I would like it to hold a charge longer. Like the size and style of it.

A lot better than FitBit, If money is no object better get one with bigger screen

Works well, does what is supposed to without any problems

I had an earlier version of this same tracker. This one has several new features that improve its functionality. The watch face would be improved if a larger font could be chosen (with less info per screen). On the other hand, the phone app view is appreciated.

Superb color choice this year cant wait to wear it

The product works as intended but the tracking of non-active calories is a bit confusing when you're trying to track active calories. It inflates the total and makes it difficult to know how productive a workout might have been.

Exactly what I need. Don’t want subscription like Fitbit.
