The guy at NFM really pushed this as better than the Fitbit products. I've had Fitbit's in the past, and they are way better than this piece of junk. The GPS is VERY slow to connect, and sometimes doesn't work at all.

Brought this garmin watch for my husband last Feb, with in 9 months the band had snapped and the watch has stopped charging due to the charging point being on the back of the watch which would sit on your wrist.
It performs all its stated functions well - with one glaring exception - Sleep Tracking. This simply does not work, despite my searching for hints on the help site.
A fantastic product in its genre: Small and discreet activity meter that measures heart rate and with GPS whenever you want. It does not work for interval training, you can only start / pause / end your race with the touch screen, but it's enough for me!
It's not very good at reading stairs (I get credit for well less than half the flights I climb), and quite poor at documenting total feet climbed while cycling. I run Ride with GPS simultaneously and the Vivosport picks up only about half the feet climbed, though the mileage is fairly accurate.
The Garmin Vivosport is a GPS-enabled activity tracker with features you typically find on higher-priced sports watches.
Comfortable; Embedded GPS; Swim-rated; Music controls
Sensitive screen; No interchangeable bands; Bland design
The Vivosport is the true fitness tracker successor to the Vivosmart HR+ , our 2016 Fitness Tracker of the Year . We say true because for some time we thought that was the Vivosmart 3 when it arrived on the scene earlier this year, leaving us wondering if Garmin was done with its GPS-packing...
Crammed with features; Strong GPS performance; Rich fitness tracker features
Small touchscreen display; Good; but not exceptional HR monitor; Overly sensitive display
The Garmin Vivosport doesn't really do much wrong, but it's not my favourite fitness tracker
Well it works as advised. Water proof and had gps at a reasonable price. That is what I was looking for.
The Garmin Vivosport is a fitness band with the fitness credibility of a larger runner's watch. It has GPS, it has a heart rate sensor, it even has an altimeter and shares an app with the Garmin Forerunner 935 .
Small for a full GPS tracker; Good battery life; Fair heart rate accuracy
Bland design; No swim modes; GPS can be slow to lock on
