    Amazon also have a range of diverse reviews.
  • I have had mine for the last six months and am perfectly happy with it, anything in particular you want to know?

    I have tiny wrists will it be ok? How are you getting on with it do you still use it daily?
  • There is quite a lot of adjustment on the strap so you should be fine.

    I have never taken mine off my wrist since I got it, it's shower proof etc etc, and I tend to sync it with the app daily.

    Thank you. Has it made you move more? I walk a fair bit anyway but additional motivation is always good.

    Yes I think it has although I have always walked quite a bit too.

    I was a lucky girl and got the vivofit and different coloured bands for Christmas I love it. It's comfy.
    Let's see if it works!
  • So how are you getting on with it?

    Downloaded the app. I love it I find the red line really useful. Once I am back in my routine it will be good to see how much I actually walk. OH might get me the heart monitor have you used it? Is it just a gimmick?
  • Not got the heart monitor myself, have never really fancied the idea of wearing a strap across my chest all day.

    Glad you like it though.
