Very Happy with My Purchase
Rating: 4
I've been wanting to get a fitness band for a while now and wasn't sure what to get. I know that Garmin is a great company, but there are so many options. This is almost a hybrid between a smart watch and a fitness band. It's an excellent fitness band and frees some ability to customize and uses blu tooth to send notifications from your phone. For me, it has motivated me to be more active throughout my day. It has also allowed me to leave my phone in my pocket a lot since if I want to see the time or see a notification that comes through I just look at my wrist. It's not the Apple Watch with all of the apps and the ability to respond to texts or answer calls directly through the watch. However, I'm ok with that. I can see them and decide if it's important enough to get out my phone and respond to. I have definitely not used this to its full potential yet, but I feel like I'm the three weeks that I have had it, this watch has been a great investment. As I use it more and more for workouts it will only increase the value to me. I am very happy with the Garmin Vivoactive HR. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
