Reviews around fact (4.41 of 5)

  • I love the fact that you do not have to change battery so often.
  • Love this and the fact I can swim or shower with it on!
  • I inserted it into my extra vivofit band, I like the less bulkiness of it, however, the fact that the new version on the 2 locks would be a great idea when working in the yard or places where it might decide it wants to be free!
  • I love the displays and the fact that you don't have to charge the battery for a year.
  • Love the fact that you can change the battery in it when it does die

Reviews around watch (4.38 of 5)

  • works great .It is a good watch and tells you your activity and and steps and how well I sleep
  • Sounds cool before you get it... then after you realize you have an expensive ugly watch that pretty much only tells you how many steps you took that day.
  • This watch is defective and I can’t get a response from Amazon.
  • This watch is great and uses a watch battery and really lasts a long time
  • For me, the most helpful features are the goal steps that appear each day, the no-movement alerts, number of steps actually taken, calories burned, time-of-day, and the stop watch mechanism, which is helpful if I want to walk for a certain number of minutes

Reviews around feature (4.32 of 5)

  • Nice device and the inactivity "reminder" is a good feature too.
  • Regardless of the features on the unit itself, if the Vivofit pops off and you lose it, those features are worthless
  • This really bums me out as I was looking for a watch alternative to my Fitbit and the features looked great -- but I'm just too unhappy with the performance and am going to have to return it.
  • Another nice feature about this tracker is that you do not have to take it off to bath or shower.
  • My favorite features of this watch are the sleep feature, the heart rate monitor and the steps

  • Here is why I LOVE this fitness tracker more than any other I've tried:1
  • I bought a cheaper tracker to replace it and there is no comparison.
  • Again, hard to track activities with a wrist worn tracker when it is hanging on a charging cable instead of my wrist.
  • Love this activity tracker as it does everything I need it to

Reviews around app (3.95 of 5)

  • It is comfortable to wear, the app is easy to use and the my fitness pal is super handy!
  • The app you use with the Garmin is not nearly as functional and user friendly as the Fitbit app
  • Great tracker, the Garmin app (free) makes it worth it.
  • The only reason I gave it four instead of five is because 1) it doesn't have a silent alarm like the Fitbit charge and 2) the app can be a little confusing and hard to navigate
  • I like the app for my phone and it syncs with the fitness

Reviews around device (3.73 of 5)

  • I like the device but there are nothing but problems with it syncing.
  • At this point I can only assume that either the device is bad or their software.
  • Not too many bells and whistles, just a nice easy device
  • I've only had this device for a little while, but everything works as it should.
  • So make sure you have a compatible device before purchasing

Reviews around thing (3.63 of 5)

  • This thing is too expensive not be able to do what a $20 pedometer can do
  • I had a fit bit that had to be charged and by far my favorite thing about this is no charging
  • Seems to be a good, not sure how accurate the pedometer is, the one negative thing is the watch is difficult to put on and take off, if the band end near the lock extended bit it might help.
  • Water resistance is always an iffy thing with me, but that's not really an issue with it
  • The best thing about this device is you NEVER have to charge it

  • The band is little hard to fasten, but once on it is solid.
  • The band on the vivofit 2 is much nicer than that of the vivofit 1.
  • The band is a little uncomfortable initially to get strapped to my wrist
  • The plastic clasp that keeps the band closed keeps breaking
  • I had it for less than a year and lost it because of a faulty band

Reviews around wrist (2.51 of 5)

  • I like several features including:1 year battery life, good daytime visibility, waterproof and secure wrist band.
  • I have a narrow wrist and lower arm, so the inflexible top hung over both sides of my arm
  • both my wrists and ankles are small so the straps work)
  • I liked this product, but...it really started to hurt my wrist after about 3 hours.
  • Another carp - the wristband is apparently designed to be worn on the left wrist; if you wear it on your right wrist, the function button is awkward to reach

Reviews around screen (2.50 of 5)

  • I'm not hard on the unit, so I definitely don't think the screen should have developed scratches so soon!
  • The side button is a little tricky if you want to synch it to the app but it just takes some practice to figure out how to press and hold it to get to the right screen
  • Wish is had a brighter screen so you could see it better.
  • Downsides are I can't read the screen in the dark (not luminous), and not a lot of features.
  • Second, the screen, even with its "backlight" is hard for her to read

Reviews around finger (2.28 of 5)

  • durable(e) be under $100The vivofit2 met my needs and works well.
  • I figure if Casio can make G-Shock watches that feel sturdy for the same price as these trackers, Garmin should be able to put a band on them that feels like it will last more than a month before tearing
  • Tracking reports on I phone well laid out.
  • Button is difficult to use in practice - to cycle screens - but especially long presses - required for start/stop, sync, HRM , require a finger under for support for the difficult top finger press

  • I've held the button down like the directions said until the word pair popes up but after 45 mins and three hand
