  • had all the features she wanted and the price was very good.
  • Even with some of the bad reviews, I chose the Vivofit 2 because it was everything I wanted at a good price
  • Works well, good price, getting it to fit properly each time is a bit tricky.

Reviews around fact (4.41 of 5)

  • 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!
  • It also keeps track of sleep patterns, but I don't like the fact that it assumes that I got up at 10 am on the weekend
  • 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.
  • I love the displays and the fact that you don't have to charge the battery for a year.
  • Love this and the fact I can swim or shower with it on!

Reviews around feature (4.32 of 5)

  • Favorite features are 1. water resistance (for use in pool or when I forget to remove when I jump in the shower
  • My favorite features of this watch are the sleep feature, the heart rate monitor and the steps
  • Regardless of the features on the unit itself, if the Vivofit pops off and you lose it, those features are worthless
  • Nice device and the inactivity "reminder" is a good feature too.
  • The Vivofit 2 has the backlight, which is a really nice feature.

Reviews around tracker (4.21 of 5)

  • 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.
  • Here is why I LOVE this fitness tracker more than any other I've tried:1
  • I also wanted the tracker to be reliable, since there are plenty of other less expensive trackers that will tell you the time.
  • All in all a pretty good fitness tracker for walking/running

Reviews around app (3.95 of 5)

  • And yes, the app looks hideous and incrediby non-intuitive to use!
  • 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
  • either the app is no good or the device is no good .......in the pic
  • It is comfortable to wear, the app is easy to use and the my fitness pal is super handy!
  • Great tracker, the Garmin app (free) makes it worth it.

Reviews around device (3.73 of 5)

  • So make sure you have a compatible device before purchasing
  • This device is much too expensive for such a flimsy design.
  • Not too many bells and whistles, just a nice easy device
  • Nice device and the inactivity "reminder" is a good feature too.
  • At this point I can only assume that either the device is bad or their software.

Reviews around thing (3.63 of 5)

  • 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.
  • One of the other great things is there is a watch battery inside which you do not have to charge
  • Short of taking a hammer to it, I don’t think a human could break the friggin’ thing
  • 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

Reviews around wrist (2.51 of 5)

  • 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
  • I have a narrow wrist and lower arm, so the inflexible top hung over both sides of my arm
  • I like several features including:1 year battery life, good daytime visibility, waterproof and secure wrist band.

Reviews around screen (2.50 of 5)

  • Doesn't need charged, one less thing to worry about, and screen can be read in bright light or even dim light with the new backlighting feature
  • Wish is had a brighter screen so you could see it better.
  • I'm not hard on the unit, so I definitely don't think the screen should have developed scratches so soon!
  • Second, the screen, even with its "backlight" is hard for her to read
  • Really like how the time is constantly displayed instead of needing to touch the screen like the other popular brands on the market

Reviews around finger (2.28 of 5)

  • 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
  • Tracking reports on I phone well laid out.

  • 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

Reviews around pound (1.54 of 5)

  • Works great easy o use
  • I walked nearly 6 million steps in a year with my Jawbone Up, and my fitness was improved so much that I lost 50 pounds and my resting heart rate is down to 52.
