This watch is fantastic, really made me get going and get on top of that I actually moved me quite a bit and it excited me to get better. However, the bracelet no good without loose all the time so now I have unfortunately lost it without realizing it and therefore can not find it.

I love my new Garmin Vivofit 2! My Fitbit died and friends have spoken highly of the Garmin, so I thought I'd give it a try. It doesn't have to be charged, it tells time, and you can see your progress throughout the day. It syncs with my phone and my computer very easily.

If you're looking for an activity tracker with an excellent battery life and fairly independent of your mobile, then this is a good choice. Use your mobile or pc to check your stats but the display on the unit shows me most of what I need to see. Waterproof and comfortable to wear 24/7.

Garmin's Vivofit 2 is a slim and stylish fitness tracker that is somewhat light on features but works well for what it offers. This exercise tracker is highly accurate and can help you reach your fitness goals. Its backlit display and incredibly long battery life help the Vivofit 2 stand out.

At 360 days; this fitness tracker has the longest-lasting battery of any tracker we tested

It's no secret that battery life in our gadgets isn't perfect. A majority of our smartphones, smartwatches and even activity trackers must be charged on a nightly basis or at least every few days. For once I would like to go on a long vacation and not have to pack a charger.

The Vivofit 2 has an always-on display, one year of battery life, and can be worn in the shower and the pool; The new model adds a stopwatch mode, a backlight, audible alerts, inactivity alerts and a greatly improved wrist band

There's no vibration; syncing isn't automatic and the Garmin mobile app doesn't provide detailed enough information or any smart coaching insights

I ordered two of these to replace a couple of Fitbit Forces - my wife and I had (we were some of the misfortunate that had a bad skin reaction from the bands). We were waiting for a replacement that met some basic needs - count steps, sleep, was waterproof (I hated having to take the Fitbit off to...

Affordable; comfortable; covers all the basics; waterproof; and no charging for a year

Inconsistent software experience across platforms; software could use more work; display modes can be difficult to read

I've been living with the Garmin Vivofit 2 for a couple of months now, and I've become quite attached to it. I've tested a few of these step-tracking wearables now and ended up frustrated and, so some of the smart bands have told me, with a high heart rate.

I've used several other fitness trackers before purchasing this one, and can say that without a doubt this is the best one I've used and will continue using. I've also used other Garmin products in the past, so I knew that I should expect a solid quality product.After receiving the vivofit 2, the...
