Abstract: I've tested dozens of these wrist gadgets, but I've never bought one for myself. Now, I think, it's time. But which one? The Apple Watch? A Fitbit thing?I decided to conduct a little reality-show competition on my arm. I resolved...

Abstract: 2016 will be the year of the fitness/wearable tracker. I'm making this bold statement now in the hopes that future Booredatwork reviews centered around fitness will knowingly encompass many products that try to sway the gullible consumer into thinking tha...
Automatic sleep detection, Fully waterproof, Alwayson touchscreen display with backlight; crisper display than original vivosmart, Phone alerts & notifications, see weather on band, Automatic wireless syncing & syncs any time you open app, Watchstyle
Must charge with a proprietary charging cable, No sleep detail (only total hours slept), App is not phenomenal and does not offer insights or info tidbits the way Jawbone's app does, 5 day battery life is good for a rechargeable band, but nothing compa
Garmin's on the right track in offering a variety of fitness trackers that can be worn in the shower and pool, and the Vivosmart HR is no exception. The added wrist-based 24/7 heart rate tracking, plethora of smartphone alerts and features, tracking of i...

After quickly getting used to the touchscreen feature, I found the Vivosmart very easy to use. Although the icons used are relatively small, the touch area must be slightly larger, as I never experienced issues selecting the right option. The only...

Built-in OLED display, Smart functions, High battery endurance, Effective way of setting daily goals, Water resistant (5 ATM), Light and convenient structure, Color options
Lack of built-in heart rate monitor, Slight inaccuracy in the results
We are pleasantly surprised by this small smart gadget. The Move bar function gives great motivation for frequent short walks. We also consider the automatically set daily goals to be very effective, especially for beginner users. Another feature that ...

Abstract: With the almost inevitable rise of smartwatches (which still hasn't quite hit the mainstream), the humble fitness tracker could soon have a hard time justifying its demands on your wrist real-estate. As such, they too are getter smarter. While tracking yo...

The Vivosmart can accurately track your daily activities and display notifications from your smartphone. It can connect with third-party apps like MyFitnessPal and wireless heart-rate monitors. It's also waterproof and has personalized activity goals
Notifications can be difficult to read and aren't interactive. Sleep tracking isn't automatic, Garmin's mobile app is dated, and the touchscreen is sometimes unresponsive. Select smart features aren't available for iOS users
While it won't appeal to everyone, the Vivosmart is a solid activity tracker for those individuals who are also interested in receiving basic notifications on their wrist....

One of the few fitness bands that also acts as a smartwatch, Long battery life, Adjusts your daily step goal based on recent activity, The "move bar" is an effective reminder to get up and walk around
Garmin Connect fitness app still doesn't offer much in the way of motivation, Can be uncomfortable to wear after long periods of use, Scratches easily, Limited smartphone compatibility
Going into this review, I already knew that Garmin is better at making sports watches than fitness trackers. When I tested the Forerunner 15, a running watch with step-counting thrown in, I came away with the same conclusion as I did here: that the app do...
Smartphone notifications, Comfortabl, water-resistant design, Tracks step, calorie, distanc, active time and sleep
Clumsy clasp, Bland app design, Cannot interact with smartphone notifications
The Garmin Vivosmart wristband marries accurate activity tracking with smartphone notifications in a comfortable, minimalist design. Plenty of companies are trying to bridge the gap between fitness trackers and smartwatches, and Garmin believes...
