When I first bought this on April 22, 2016, it cost me $150. I’ve noticed the price has been in flux for the past few months, but checking today (October 3rd), I was surprised to see it was still $150. I first decided to buy this because I noticed my heart always seemed to be racing at work, and because this had a heart-rate monitor, I wanted this one as opposed one of the cheaper options. I also really wanted an Apple Watch, so being able to get my notifications was also important. Finally, because I did want the Apple Watch, I wanted to make sure I would actually WEAR a watch (I’m a stereotypical millennial who has never worn a watch because I’ve had a cell phone within arms reach for half my life). In full disclosure, I lasted 5 and a half months with this watch, which I wore nearly every day. The only times I didn’t wear it when I forgot it at home because I had to charge it and forgot to put it back on. When I didn’t wear it, I sorely missed it. If nothing else, this turned me on to watches for the rest of my life. Having the time RIGHT THERE is so amazing, but I digress. Here are a few categories I wanted to discuss further, in no particular order: WATER PROOF: Early on, I wanted to test if it was truly water proof. I choose this Vivosmart over a similarly priced Fit Bit because it was water proof… which, in hind sight was kind of dumb because I only swim once a year. (Ironically, instead of buying the Apple Watch series one, I pre-ordered the series two… still knowing I don’t swim). I think I initially decided I needed my Vivosmart to be water proof was because I was certain that if I took my watch off while I was in the shower, I would forget to put it on before I went to work. For the first month or so, I only took it off to charge. So watch is CLEARLY water proof. I did end up stop wearing it in the shower because if the point was to not take it off, I definitely had to take it off after my shower to dry it anyway. If not, it was like getting a hair tie wet and waiting for it to dry; it agitated my wrist. As well, I did go swimming once with it on. It was in a pond, over the course of several hours, and my only complaint is that the water pressure was enough to change the screen (as if it were a finger sliding), so when I wanted to keep it on the time, every time I splashed in the water, it changed to something else. But that is obviously a really minor annoyance. I think this would be a great fitness tracker for someone who wants to be in the water a lot. MOTIVATION: For about a week, every time my tracker got a little line saying it had been an hour since I last stood up, I would get up and walk around. One thing I actually LOVE about this fitness tracker is that it adjust the step goal based on how active I actually am. So if I walk a lot (like when I’m at work during the school year), it would naturally raise my goal. But when I sat at home during summer vacation and didn’t move at all, it would lower my goal to what it thought was a more “realistic standard” for my actual level of activity in the recent past. This way, I’m not held to the 10,000 step that the My Fitness Pal app or my sister’s Fit Bit suggested. During the summer, I definitely wouldn’t have hit that, so I like that it tried to motivate me by giving me a realistic goal and only increasing if I met the goal the day before. Now, I’ll talk more about the actual Garmin Connect App later, but there was only a few times I was motivated on that end. First, for about two weeks, I was obsessed with beating everyone on the “step challenge” in the app. At first, it wanted us to compete to hit (or exceed) 10k steps (you’re put in with like 10 other people either “at random” or “people who have similar step trends,” I think they claimed the latter, but I don’t know how true it is). The second week it jumped up to 40k. Now, this motivated me for two weeks, but I had the Vivosmart for 6 months. In fact, I pretty much stopped using the app at all after about two or three months. Another way the app and the watch are supposed to motivate the wearer is by sharing the steps with friends; however, literally everyone I know has a Fit Bit, so that was no motivation at all for me. (It’s still the problem, because I only know one other person with an Apple Watch). Overall, did this make me become more active? Not really. But that’s okay, too, because it made me more aware of my habits. COMFORT: In one review I read before deciding on the Vivosmart HR, one girl mentioned how insanely uncomfortable this was. Now, it did take me a little while to get used to it. I wore those rubber LiveStrong type bracelets since high school, but this is completely different than that. Initially, I couldn’t sleep for the first few days because it hurt so much, but I quickly adjusted. I have very small wrists, so I always kept it on four or five. The biggest discomfort came from the fact that the heart rate monitor actually protrudes. It sticks out and “digs” into the wrist. I assume it’s to get a more accurate heart rate, but whether it actually does is up for debate (I would argue it’s far less accurate than my Apple Watch has been, and it’s SIGNIFICANTLY less comfortable, too). While the heart rate monitor did tend to leave a mark on my skin if left in one position for too long, I did get used to it. Toward the end, maybe for the last month or so, I did start taking it off at night. However, I can’t say I would want to sleep with my Apple Watch on, either. Besides, I don’t know accurate the sleep monitor part of it was, anyway. I don’t need a constant reminder that I didn’t get enough sleep, and I really didn’t want my watch telling me I got a great night sleep when I knew I woke up and rolled over several times and woke up exhausted. Overall about comfort: mildly annoying at times, but mostly I got used to it. CONNECT APP: I HATE the app. This app may work great for some people. I think this fitness tracker for someone who wants to differentiate their workouts. So, I think that maybe a weight-lifter or someone who does a lot of different activities. I barely did ANY activity, so I think the app was needlessly complicated. Like I mentioned, I stopped opening the app at all after two or three months. The thing that sucked about it was that certain features could only be used if the app was running on my phone, like the weather. I used to think it was cool to check the weather on my watch, but the app was such a hassle, I stopped opening it, so I couldn’t access the weather. NOTIFICATIONS: On the weekends and over summer, I got a TON of notifications for a bunch of things I never needed to know right away. I did really like getting my messages or seeing a phone call come in while I was at the store so I knew to dig out my phone. Did I need all the CNN updates and new emails? Probably not, but it was still cool. What I didn’t like about the notifications was the fact that I apparently didn’t get good enough service in my school building to actually receive notifications at work, which was kind of a main reason I wanted it. The weirdest thing is that I’ve never had a problem getting ANY of my notifications on my Apple Watch, so I don’t know if the push notifications are different because even if it is over “bluetooth,” it’s going from Apple product to Apple product. So if you sometimes have a hard time receiving calls or messages because you work in a cement bunker, this may not be the best option. However, I will say that I think a notification feature is a MUST for any fitness tracker. BATTERY LIFE: I never had this die on me. ONCE (in six months), I had a little empty battery icon show up, but it lasted until I got home so I could charge it. When researching, that was one thing that people complained about, but it was never an issue for me. I did have to charge it twice a week, something like every 3-5 days (I don’t know why it lasted longer sometimes, or if sometimes I would just remember to charge it while I was in the shower when it was still half full). I HAVE to charge my Apple Watch every night, but I also know that the vivosmart without the HR that one of my coworkers has has a different battery, which lasts for a year then it needs a new battery. Really, it would depend on what you were looking for. It only took between 30 minutes and an hour to charge, so I would usually just charge it when I woke up in the morning and grab it before I left for work (which is how I left it at home once or twice). NOTE: Make sure it's actually plugged in. It's a bizarre way to charge something. Once (but only once), it didn't have a strong connection, so it didn't charge. HEART RATE: Now, I don’t really know how accurate it is. Sometimes I would be mid-work out and my heart-rate would read in the 60s, and I know my heart NEVER gets that low. Even at rest, my heart rate averages in the mid-eighties. It seems like sometimes tightening the band so the light sensor was closer to my wrist worked, but sometimes I had to stop the work out all together and wait a few minutes before it would finally catch up. Overall, I think the true testament of this watch is the fact that I wore it practically every day for six months. I wanted an Apple Watch when I bought this, but the truth of the matter is that if I didn’t end up buying the Apple Watch, I would still be wearing this Vivosmart HR because I wouldn’t have traded it for a Fit Bit or any other fitness tracker. The ONLY thing I would give this up for was the Apple Watch, but the Vivosmart was $162 after taxes and the Apple Watch was nearly $400. I always say it’s unfair to compare a $25 bluetooth speaker to a $100 bluetooth speaker because most of the time, a higher price means a better product. So for me, this was just an expensive test to see if I would wear a watch before I bought the one I really wanted. I think I was kind of rough on this fitness tracker, but it was also a long time coming. I specifically held off on writing this review until I had a ton of data. I love this watch and I hated it when I forgot it at home. The only problem, truly, with this watch, was that I wanted an Apple Watch when I bought it and then, after six months, I finally did buy it. Otherwise, I would still be all about this fitness tracker. No, it didn’t make me want to get up and move, but it did what I wanted to do: it made me more aware of my heart rate and my habits. I think that all of these fitness trackers market to different types. If you want to compete with your friends, I would definitely recommend getting the one they have. Most of my students have Fit Bits, and they love competing with each other. Also, this is a great one if you want to swim. If you don’t care about it being water proof, though, I think the Fit Bit has a better app. I won’t try and convince you that this is the best one for you, but it worked well for me for six months. Overall, if you want a really decent fitness tracker without a $400 price tag, this may be what you’re looking for.

Pretty Close to Perfect, but not quite there…. I'll note that I'm writing this review over an extended period of time so that I can go back and edit/update things as I discover them or my thoughts change about them. First, let me start by saying that I am not a health enthusiast or fitness nut. I work out 4-6 times a week with a mixture of high-intensity bootcamp classes, running, and some yoga mixed in. I am was trying to find a replacement for my Garmin Forerunner 70 that I use for bootcamp class. I also have a Garmin 620 running watch. The FR70 tracks my time, heart rate, and calories burned using a chest strap for the HR. I wanted to purchase something that would monitor my heart rate throughout the day so that I could not only get a better idea of what my resting heart rate is, but also so I can just get an idea of how far I'm walking in a day and how many calories I'm burning just by doing my normal everyday things. Staying with a Garmin product was not even a question as I love their Garmin Connect (I've heard others may be better, but it's what I'm used to and it's what I love). As far as fitness bands go, it looks great. Sleek. Large, but not so large that it looks bad. I'm a female with small wrists and it doesn't look over powering on me. When I wear a 'normal' watch, I have to have it low down on my wrist or it drives me crazy, so I was worried about this having to be worn above the wrist bone. Honestly, it doesn't bother me at all. The watch fits snugly but you don't feel it at all. I will say that I bought the 'Regular' fit and am somewhat surprised how small it is since it's worn above the wrist bone (if I put it below the wrist bone on my wrist, then I have a majority of the strap left over). I would consider my wrists to be small and I use about half of the available slots. If you're male, and you plan on wearing it above the wrist bone, definitely make sure you look at the sizing to verify you purchase the correct one. The watch is super easy to pair with a smartphone (I paired it with an iPhone). The touchscreen is super easy. I've never had a problem with it not reacting to my touch. In fact, when worn in the shower, the water hitting the screen can cause it to flip to the next screen. I almost wish it were a little less sensitive to touch. The information that can be displayed is pretty cool. Screen 1 (Time, Day of the Week, Date, activity bar when visible), Screen 2 (Total Steps Taken, Step Goal) Screen 3: (Flights of Stairs Climbed, Goal) Screen 4 (Workout Minutes for the Week vs Total), Screen 5: (Calories Burned for the day), Screen 6: (Distance Walked through the day), Screen 7: Music Controls, Screen 8: (Weather - includes Temp, High/Low, Chance of Rain...Can also swipe to the side and see a 4 day forecast), Screen 9: (Phone Notifications), Screen 10: (Heart Rate) The watch will automatically detect movement. If consistent for 10 minutes or more with an elevated heart rate, the watch recognizes it as exercise. After reading the manual (which is online only as with most Garmin products now), the watch recognizes moderate and intense minutes of exercise. The default is 150 minutes a week; however, you can go in and change it. If you want to specifically start your own workout without relying on the watch to recognize the change, just hit the button. You will be able to choose between 'Run,' 'Cardio,' and 'Other.' I chose the 'other' option for my bootcamp classes. I get three screens (HR, Time, Calories). Only one field/screen is displayed at a time, but it's no big deal. I was somewhat (a lot) apprehensive about the heart rate being taken through the wrist vs the heart strap; therefore, for the first week, I wore both watches to compare. I must say, I was pretty freakin impressed. The vivosmart was dead on (see photos). There were times when I would look down and the heart rate on the vivosmart was drastically different than the FR70; however, it was very quick to level out. And at the end of the workout when I compared the two on Garmin Connect, my Max HR & Average HR were off by about 2 beats per minute between the two watches. At the end of the day, two beats makes no difference to me at all. There's no way of knowing that the new vivosmart isn't the more accurate and my FR70 has been off all these years. It's two beats. Who cares? That's essentially dead on accurate in my book. The most it was ever off on calorie count between the two watches was 20 calories for an hour workout. Having said that, it was HORRIBLE on runs. I wore it and my 620 during a 5k race to compare. When we hit the one mile marker, my 620 showed me running a distance of .99 miles. The vivosmart HR showed me running 1.3 miles! (It should be noted that I have the vivosmart HR, not the HR+ which includes the GPS). At the end of the 3.1 miles, my vivosmart showed me having run 3.9 miles. Because the distance was so far off, so was everything else. It showed me burning 590 calories (not even close) and running at a 9:00 min/mi pace (unfortunately this is not even close either, but I'm getting back to it!). So if you are considering using this for running, I would have to highly recommend something that has a GPS and/or that can be paired with a foot pod. There are some things I am still trying to figure out. I tested the step count on a few occasions and it was again within a step or two, BUT when I wake up in the mornings, it shows me walking in my sleep. This morning, I already had 100 steps. Not sure what is causing that. If you go into 'settings' on your computer you can actually input your stride length which would improve accuracy. The second thing is the sleep function. If you go into the app, you can put what time you go to bed and wake up, causing the watch to automatically go into 'sleep' mode each night; however, unless you have a very structured schedule, that does not really work. To put it into sleep mode at night, you just hit 2 buttons. Having said that, when you put it into sleep mode at night, it tracks your sleep (deep sleep, light sleep, awake) pretty well, but when you have put it into 'do not disturb' mode to take a nap, it will not show up at as sleep. Phone notifications -- I'm kinda confused about this. The first day that I had the watch, the text notifications would show up, but I did not feel the watch vibrate at all. I thought maybe because the phone itself was on vibrate. Not sure what changed, but I've been getting all my notifications for the last few days - and it doesn't matter if the phone is on vibrate or not. I'm thinking maybe the band was just a little loose on my arm so I wasn't feeling the vibrate alert?? Not sure…. I received the watch in the mail mid-day on Wednesday and it had enough of a charge to get me through about mid-day Thursday. That charge lasted until about 9pm on Wednesday (6 days) before the battery indicator came on. I ended up charging it around 2am on Thursday morning, so it gave at least 5 hours of notice. It took exactly one hour (to the minute) to fully charge. There is an activity bar that appears after one hour of no movement. Another section of the bar appears every 15 minutes thereafter until there is movement. The manual only says that the line will disappear after walking a "short distance". I would walk in around the living room for what I considered "short distances" and the line didn't move. Figured out it's about 100 steps for the initial line to disappear and 25 steps for each additional section of the line. So if you're at the full two hours of no movement, roughly 200 steps will clear the line. BUT, and this is an important but, sometimes you just have to learn to ignore the activity. Your steps have to be 100% non-stop. Example: If you're getting ready in the morning, even though you are up and moving around, it is not considered movement because your standing there blow drying your hair and then walking to the closet, ect. I had a full activity bar (showing that I had not moved for the last two hours) when I walked into Target. I spent a solid hour walking around the store, but my activity bar did not clear because I was stopping to look at items. The steps HAVE to be consecutive without stopping. Overall, I'm super excited about this watch. I'm confident that it is accurate enough for me after comparing it with my old watch (when used for bootcamp, definitely not running!) and I love that I can see my stats throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a fitness tracker. The only thing that I can think of that I really dislike is the alarm & that's because the alarm options suck! You can set an alarm through the app on your phone; however, you can only set one time and it only gives you the option for 'everyday' or 'weekdays'. When the alarm does go off, it's still pretty powerful (my boyfriend woke up because the vibrating was so loud). The alarm does have a snooze option in 10 minute increments. BUT (again, this is an important but if you don't want to be late for work) if you set your alarm to go off during your normal sleep times, it will not because it's in a 'do not disturb' mode. I work 5 days and then have 4 days off. My schedule is very different during my working and non-working days. During my working days, I set my normal sleep hours from 0330-1030. When I set an alarm for 0900 without changing my normal sleep hours, it did not go off (for 3 days, luckily I had a backup set on my phone). I changed my normal wake up time and kept the alarm the same and it started going off again. One feature that has the potential to come in handy - If you lose your phone that the watch is paired with, you can use the watch to set off an alarm (a very loud, obnoxious alarm) on your phone so that you can find it. Overall, I love the tracker and am super glad that I bought it.
