Who It's For: People who are looking to keep better tabs on their fitness and sleep and also want a design they can customize. Garmin tackles form and function with the Vivofit 2.

Accurate; detailed activity tracking; Always-on; backlit watch display; Interchangeable bands; Long battery life

Doesn't sync automatically; No diet tracking; Lacks sleep alarm

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.

Good functional gadget supplementing garmin gps watch. Push bottom takes a litle time to get use to, but else easy and simple. Seemless connection to Garmin connect to track and analyze sleep pattern and activity level

My husband loves this band. Got it to replace his old one that quit syncing to his app. He doesn't have to worry about wearing it in the shower or bumping it against something. Great deal for the price!

Water proof/ resistant don't have to charge it app is very cool has more options than original band not bulky like some other bands

doesn't do HR unless you buy an adapter band can be difficult to take off/ put on

Best $69 I ever spent! It takes my steps/activities, and my sleep. Syncs beautifully with the my fitness pal, map my fitness and Garmin connect apps to keep track of all my activity and calories.

I have one of these and have purchased 4 others as gifts. This one when compared to the more well known brand far exceeds it. First you get excess bands. Then this one does everything the other one does and keeps time too. This one runs on a battery.

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.

I've been using this watch for the past two weeks and am pretty pleased with it. I chose the Vivofit because it's waterproof, doesn't have too many bells and whistles and doesn't need to be charged every few days like other fancy activity trackers.

It's almost perfect... Comfortable to wear, easy to use, I use it primarily for counting steps which seem to start even before I get out of bed! I like the sleep info too. The app is easy to use, but only vertical which is a drag.
