I am back on the 'lose a little weight' journey and for the last few months have been tracking workouts using Strava (cycling), my phone (walking) or an my Apple Watch (gym). I am also logging my weight with a BT scale and what I eat with MFP.Because I have nice watches that I want to wear daily and because I often leave my phone on my desk etc, I wanted to get a tracker that monitored my activity 24/7, but also one that integrates with the fitness tools as seamlessly as possible. But it had to be 'not a watch', it had to be something to wear on my no-watch arm.Many years ago I had a FitBit, so my first order was for a Fitbit band. While I waited for it to arrive I got back into my old FitBit account and then tried to set it up to talk to my other apps.

I honestly love this thing. I have read loads of reviews where people slate it for not being 100% accurate or absolutely perfect when tracking activities. In order to fully appreciate this awesome little thing, you need to understand its limitations - it's not a £5000 highly calibrated piece of science equipment, it's a £90 fitness band that has some amazing functionality and does a great job of keeping up with the big boys.It has a great feel and build quality. It feels solid.It doesn't have GPS built in, but it DOES allow you to use the GPS on your phone to track walks and activities. Some reviews say this isn't possible, but it definitely is as of Oct 2019. I walked the dogs this morn and tracked it using GPS on my phone.

I bought this primarily as a sleep tracker because I thought I might not be getting good deep sleep and to monitor my pulse ox levels.What I like about it- it's accurate at sleep tracking and does register when I wake in the night and my periods of deep, light and REM sleep- it does track my oxygen levels when asleep which is what i wanted (although it only seems to work after a certain time)- it looks very pretty (berry strap) and the small is small enough for me. I have very small wrists and it doesn't bother me when asleepThings that could be improved- main problem is syncing with the app on my phone (android). I like to view the details online on my computer afterwards.

I totally love this watch/sleep/fitness tracker. I’ve had mine for over a year.The sleep tracking is pretty much second to none and about as accurate as it can get. It shows rem sleep as well as time awake and deep/light sleep. I didn’t appreciate fully how accurate it was until I recently misplaced it and substituted it with a forerunner 30. The difference was remarkable. No rem sleep shown on the fr 30 and it also didn’t record any of the times I woke up in the night, even when I went to the loo.Apart from the sleep tracking, it has a lot of other features that I had enjoyed but not fully appreciated until they disappeared when I was using the fr 30.

I spent a good few months researching and deliberating between or the FitBit Inspire HR, or the FitBit charge 3. After numerous reviews, I went for Vivosmart due to it's more in depth data and more lightweight design. I've been using it for about one week now and I am very happy with it. They've updated the software so a lot of the issues people were having before have been ironed out, and it can now also use the phone's GPS.I've been using it to track my cycles, yoga, dancing, and walks. Its measurements are inline with what Strava records.It also has a few extra little features that help motivate me to drink more water through out the day, get enough sleep,

I purchased this as I have slim wrists and I wanted a tracker that I could swim in, I purchased and sent back a fitbit because the face was too big.This Garmin Small/Medium vivosmart 4 Smart Activity Tracker with Wrist-Based Heart Rate and Fitness Monitoring, is slimline but also has a display that you can read.The app and the data you get from the app is excellent and really in depth.I really like the fact that you can track your oxygen levels which really helps me with keeping an eye on my asthma, and it also has a 'stress level' that I find a bit quirky and I'm not sure how accurate it is as it works off your heart rate and other data which then notifies you to take a breath and relax for a few mins.I would recommend this tracker for sure,

So I had a FitBit charge 3, which gave me horrendous burn / rashes on my wrist. I looked into smaller thinner strap style activity trackers. I mainly like the notification of calls / texts, sleep tracking & reminders to move. So after some research decided that the Garmin was a better fit for me.I have not been disappointed. It’s been very good and I’ve had no problems wearing it so far.I’m not sure it’s as accurate as my FitBit but I do like the stress feature and alert if your bpm gets too high and then encourages you to ‘take a moment’ - like a mindfulness session.I’ve found this very useful as I get quite stressed at work and do not have enough breaks.

I bought this for my mum. We chose this one as I hoped the Garmin brand would prove durable (mum works in her garden a lot and also just has a knack for making her tech freak out). This was also the only wearable we found that measures blood oxygen, which was of particular interest.She's had it a month now and has not mentioned any complaints at all. The app seems to be very easy to use and the visual representation of the data is great. I have an Apple watch which I love, but I actually prefer the layout of the Garmin app.Mum doesn't use the screen much for info, as it's very small and just not worth her learning with regard to her specific usage needs. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone,

I am delighted with the quality of this product. I bought the product (Amazon was the seller) after my doctor recommended it. I am so glad that I bought the vivosmart 4 as it has helped monitor my fitness, activity, stress and sleep levels. I am using the information generated from the data to inform the activities I need to take to improve my health. I transfer information via Bluetooth from my vivosmart to the Garmin Connect app on my iPhone three times daily. The app is well-designed and presents information in a clear and useful manner, allowing me to track short and long term trends. I believe that the price paid was reasonable and constitutes good value for money. I am, therefore,

I did a bit of research into different trackers and am very pleased with my choice. The vivosmart 4 offers comparable functions to that of the fitbit charge 3, but with some extras such as Vo2 max SpO2 (although apparently support on charge 3 is planned in a future update). The stats offered by the vivosmart and it's accompanying app are very detailed, and the measurements are very accurate. The main advantage of the vivosmart 4 over other devices was asthetic - it is a much slimmer and discreet band to others (much neater than the fitbit charge 3). The only drawback is that the screen responsiveness - sometimes it can be a little slow. However I would 100% recommend this as a fully functioned,

Tracks steps well enough, but when counting flights of stairs it’s not very accurate. Sleep tracking isn’t great either as says I’m in a deep when in fact just trying to get to sleep and not moving. However as I primarily bought this for the step and heart monitor tracking it doesn’t worry me.The app is very good with lots of interesting features and after you have worn the tracker a few months gives you insights into your activities. You earn badges for different accomplishments so can be very motivating.The tracker is nice and slim which is great for me as I have small wrists. Very comfortable to wear both day and when sleeping.

What else can be put into a wristwatch size piece of equipment. It certainly does what it says it can do but for some reason keeps demanding access to my smartphone and various apps on my smartphone which I don't understand. I also remembered why I stopped wearing a watch on my wrist - I became allergic to the strap regardless or what it was made from and I had the same problem with the Garmin 4 days and my wrist reacted to the rubber wrist strap. My wrist is still peeling and has left scarring. Not the fault of Garmin because it does what it is supposed to do. My allergy is my allergy and No-one could have foreseen this problem.

I spent a long time thinking about spending a lot more money on a wearable device and I'm so glad I bought this. My only observation is that I have a Garmin Fenix for running and having worn them both for Park Runs I have found the Vivosmart GPS less accurate than the Fenix - but there's a huge difference in price.The Vivosmart was always intended as a 24-hour wearable for sleep and stress tracking and it does that job admirably well - it means I can wear an expensive Omega watch during the day (that has sentimental value) and then swap the Vivosmart for the Fenix when I'm running.Very happy customer.

Not sure how accurate it would be for some with the work outs but for what I wanted it for (keeping track of activity after and accident) and getting back on my feet I find it fantastic and simple to use and also really like the fit. Keeps track of steps, running feature, stairs taken etc. Waterproof for hand washing (I've not tried it in a shower) I get about a week out of the battery with Bluetooth on all the time set to sync to the app. Notifications from the phone is great too but may be difficult to read if running. I would recommend this

Sadly bracelet irrritated my skin, my problem, not the device. Interesting that painting a wall recorded thousands of "steps!" Clever device though, easy set up, clear display and easy to use menu. Found, when machine was actually recording steps, that that process was very motivational, constant HR monitoring interesting and when sleep hours recorded were reviewed, surprise surprise when I got the more hours of good sleep I felt more refreshed, which I guess shows that the device is recording this activity (or lack of) accurately.
