    Garmin vivofit 3 Activity Tracker, Regular fit - Black

    • Best fitness band ever.
    • The band is useless.
    • However, I do like that if I want I can change the band and there are other accessories available that can make the band look more like jewelry or can hid the band
    • She says that her two main complaints with the Vivofit 3 are the band and the Tracker not recognizing inactivity with the beep/ move bar
    • This little mechanism pops out of the watch band so easy and is nice and small.
    • Not all of us need a sporty looking band
    • I called Garmin and they said the Reg is the smallest band available for the Vivofit 3, so back it goes
    • Falls off inThe licked position make sure u buy a buckle band before wearing
    • The only thing I dislike about the product is the way the band is secured
    • Like this a lot. Got the interchangable bands, too.
    • The band is comfortable, more than the Fitbit flex i had
    • I would suggest purchasing a better wrist band than the one it comes with
    • no more worrying about it dying in the middle of the workout*the band is durable.
    • Even wearing the band super loose, which I like to do at work because I have to wash my hand a lot, there is at least an inch of excess band
    • I'm confused as to why this tracker, that tracks swimming as an activity, would have a band that would become discolored in a pool
    • The band provided with the tracker is mediocre at best, better bands are available for about $5.
    • After a few days the band kept falling off, but you can always find a different replacement band here on Amazon
    • There aren't any "dressy fancy jewelry/watch" looking bands available for this like there are for the Fitbit Alta
    • It is a twist dial mechanism and does not secure the bands together securely.
    • My wrist was between sizes on the wristband, and I had to choose to wear the band too loose (not comfortable) or a little tighter (comfortable, but prone to coming undone because of where it attached on my wrist)
    • The only problem is the band, it doesn't fasten tightly and pops out occasionally.
    • The original band has fallen off of my arm many times-Garmin Connect app is not as smooth as the Fitbit app
    • The band is a little long, but works as expected.
    • It seems to be pretty accurate (I wore it on the same wrist with my vivo 1 for the first couple days, and they were consistently within 50 steps of each other), and I was able to purchase a less hideous band with an easier fastening mechanism, so that's good
    • I like the prongs concept to secure the band around arm
    • the band still comes loose with little provocation.
    • The band became loose while in the locked position and fell into the subway tracks on my way home
    • The bands are fine but are very hard to clasp
    • The band itself is too stretchy for me for a step counter and when I secure the band around my wrist (not too tight just snug) the top hook frequently comes out of the hole when it's locked.
    • I upgraded because I wanted:- the back light for checking the time at night (vs a cell phone that lights up the room),- the smaller screen is more modern looking (and there's no problem reading the screen in bed without my glasses),- the thinner more attractive band
    • The band itself is nice and smooth, really soft
    • Even wearing the band super loose, which I like to do at work because I have to wash my hand a lot, there is at least an inch of excess band
    • Order and immediately use a better-designed replacement band, or just throw this thing right away in order to save yourself stress, hunting time and the eventual frustration of losing it
    • Bought it for my husband for father's day, unfortunately, the band failed and it fell off while walking in the woods.
    • great band very reliable!
    • The band pops open at least once a day, and I have nearly lost it many times.
    • Works well but harder plastic band that makes it uncomfortable
    • It "locks" onto your wrist so the band won't fall off like my first vivofit did.4) Great price5)
    • I would have removed the tracker frequently if it would have had a decent band that could be easily taken on and off.
    • The band also looks much flimsier and is harder to put in due to the flexibility
    • If the band is improved, maybe.
    • Also, the band locks on so I am not worried about losing it.
    • The band is terrible and has fallen off my wrist about 5
    • I would say it is worth it to invest in a product with a better band.

    • I am not using it daily because of the band unreliable latching.

    • I do not like the band and how it secures
    • There are improvements to the Vivofit 3 compared to the Vivofit 2 including a more secure wrist band where the device slips into the band and is enclosed within the band on the underneath side and more securely surrounded on each end on the face side of the device.
    • The band is a little big even on the smallest “setting” but other than that- love it.

    • Nice idea but the band is terrible.
