Reviews around watch (4.26 of 5)

  • The watch is lightweight, sleek, easy to read numbers, and it's uncannily accurate for my stride
  • I think it's accurate, and it is easy to sync with my mobile devises as well as by home computer.
  • /smart watch but now nothing works and hasn't worked for a long long time
  • This watch seemed perfect, and is except one major flaw: it's gotten progressively harder and harder to sync it
  • Some of the more expensive watches have more features, but this is a durable, easy to use basic tracker.

  • Second one since 2014, great product, works great bought my wife one a couple years ago also, she feels the same.
  • Always a great product, love mine and got this as a gift for my mom!
  • I’m glad I did not spend the money on a more expensive product.
  • I've been happy with my other 3 Garmin products, but the vivofit2 needs considerable work; a quality users guide would go a long way to improving the product

Reviews around display (4.10 of 5)

Reviews around fitbit (4.03 of 5)

  • I also enjoy that you are capable of changing the batteries instead of having to rely on constantly recharging (cough, fitbit!). and much less expensive than some other pedometer watches (cough, fitbit!)
  • Don't think the software works as good as Fitbit, but overall I like better than Fitbit.
  • I learned that FITBIT's moderately/low priced device - while it could work with my system - DID NOT have real-time VISIBLE data
  • Just as nice as the FitBit, except it uses a watch battery

Reviews around step (3.61 of 5)

  • The Garmin Vívofit 2 Activity Tracker is a great step tracker, intuitive and easy to use
  • The only downfall is that when I go over a particular bridge, it counts the cracks in the bridge as steps
  • If I want to fake my steps, I can swing my arm without moving my feet and it will count steps that way
  • (I played video games for like 3 hours and apparently took like 2000 steps

Reviews around thing (3.50 of 5)

  • One cool thing is that you can select a default home screen that it will switch to after not using it for a few seconds
  • But the damn thing will only very rarely sync
  • I'll keep the 2 until the thing dies (dies outside of having to change the battery).
  • In addition to all the other great things about this tracker is it's affordability.
  • Short of taking a hammer to it, I don’t think a human could break the friggin’ thing
