I am two months into owning this and I've had repeat connection issues. Constantly losing connection to Garmin's app. I've had to repair the device a few times. After changing phones this issue got so much worse that I'm now ready to move to Fitbit.

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...

Love all the features. I bought this because 1) waterproof to 50m, 2) HR sensor, 3) get notifications for any app you chose from your phone, including calls, 4) good battery life. I'm getting 3-4 days battery, but charges very fast! *Move* feature is great.

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.

Use it every day. I am really enjoying this product. So far it seems very accurate for the calories in calories out. Helping to maintain my fitness.

Good Value

Did research. Best Waterproof Rating-Better than Fitbit with all the same features Happy with purchase

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...

With the Apple Watch now released, is there still a place in the market for another smartwatch? Garmin's latest entry into the field, the Vivosmart, looks to differentiate itself from Apple's offering by being a fitness tracker with smartphone features, rather than a smartwatch that also happens to...

comfortable design; very long battery life; well implemented activity tracking and notification

companion app doesn't provide much value; text orientation makes longer notifications hard to read

Kleenex, Hoover, Glad Wrap, Band-aid, Fitbit. All brands that are synonymous with the products they represent. It makes it hard for other brands to break into their respective fields.

Small form factor; Phone notifications; Fully featured app; Solid design/band

Black and white display; Not Android Wear; App is over-complicated
