I bought this Garmin in store and got home and charged it. When I went to get it sync'd with the Garmin Express boy was I surprised to find out that I supposedly put on 43 miles and over 84,000 steps last year back in June, July and August of 2015.

Not at all accurate. While walking shows 2-3 steps for every step that I take. Google fit on my Android phone gives better reading. Fancy but Not Real.

The Garmin app needs improvement in sleep and limited workout information. Sleep is only a graph. Prefer Up app by Jawbone for sleep and logging in workouts. My fitness app also needs a lot of help as well. Premium app for My fitness is expensive. Twice as much as Jawbone.

Comfortable; Quality Construction; Water Resistant

Garmin/ app awful

I wasn't expecting much from this device but once I paired it with my smart phone and installed the free app it was great it calorie counts and step meter heart rate monitor and overall exercise intensity tracking. I can't live without it now.

The Vivosmart HR is the newest addition to Garmin's activity tracking range and resembles the lovechild of the Vivosmart band and the Vivofit 2. A sleek design with monochrome display, silicon band and built-in optical heart-rate monitor on the underside (which I found to be very accurate), this new...

Fitness bands are now a well established part of the tech canon, and they're aimed at a specific kind of person – does this sound like you? You're someone who, halfway through the decade, decided to get moving. Naturally, you want to log these new bursts of momentum – else what's the point, right?

Garmin, a company predominately known for its GPS-enabled devices, is entering new territory with its latest and perhaps smartest device yet. In early 2014, the company released the Vivofit , an activity tracker with one year of battery life.

The Vivosmart can accurately track your daily activities and display notifications from your smartphone; It can connect with third-party apps like MyFitnessPal and wireless heart-rate monitors; It's also waterproof and has personalized activity goals

Notifications can be difficult to read and aren't interactive; Sleep tracking isn't automatic, Garmin's mobile app is dated, and the touchscreen is sometimes unresponsive; Select smart features aren't available for iOS users

American company Garmin isn't a stranger to tracking technologies, be it mapping tech or sport science, so when the Vivosmart HR arrived on my desk, I was pretty excited. It's the company's new fitness tracker for the semi-serious outdoor performer, and unlike the standard Garmin Vivosmart, the HR...

Very comfortable, battery life decent, but I am on my second one in less than a year due to the screen dying or freezing up. Though it is supposed to be water resistant, it cannot handle a very small amount of sweat. Going to another brand now.....

Nice and tidy piece of kit, not too obtrusive. It has some good features built in and shows notifications from your phone. The device also gives a little buzz if you've been stationary for too long to remind you to move.
