Garmin Vivofit Fitness Tracker

Hi all

I am in the market for a fitness tracker and leaning towards Vivofit but would like to see whether anyone uses it here and what they think of it.

I have read good reviews with few problems with wristband being uncomfortable and display having no backlight etc.

I mostly wonder whether it is accurate. Heart rate monitor is bought separately I believe and I'm unsure whether it is necessary as well.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

  • I love mine. Its not uncomfortable at all, no there's no backlight which is a shame. I recently read an article where several fitness bands were tested and the garmin came out top in most of the tests. I didn't buy the heart rate monitor.

    I got mine from tesco, £59 which was the cheapest I saw it anywhere.
