This is a great device for the casual observer. It gathers all of the information that a regular person wants (as opposed to the person trying out for the Olympics). The light weight, comfortable band, and sleek design makes the Vivosmart HR barely noticeable on your wrist. Fortunately, you can swim and shower with this device, so forgetting that it's on your wrist AFTER it gets wet will eliminate that stress. Pairing with any smart phone in a breeze. Being able to read the FULL text message was the determining feature over other similar devices/brands. The screen has great readability in direct sunlight. The only draw back is that in medium light situations (such as indoors), the back-lighting may wash out the screen, which actually makes it harder to read. Also, those of us over 40 (read: Presbyopia) will have difficulty reading the screen in anything less than direct sunlight. I do plan on getting a smartwatch. Fortunately, Garmin Connect not only allows you to sync multiple devices, it lets you prioritize the device that you use most AND it will merge the data from all devices.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I probably spend close to a year researching an aftermarket radio to replace our stock Toyota head unit. This one fits near perfectly and uses all of the stock supports so there's no need to rigging it in. There are two main features why I bought this: Selectable back-light color and Bluetooth hands free. There a color that matches my 4Runner perfectly and the blue works as good using just the phone itself. My daughter (and I) love the remote so she change the channel/volume without bothering me.

How reliable is the band? I have had a lot of problems with my Misfit popping off or the tracking disk popping out. I'm look for a more reliable, waterproof activity tracker.

I wear my Vivosmart HR at work (construction) and have had zero issues.

Why does Gamin charge for the mobile app? When you pay so much to buy a device, you should be able to get the app for free.

Garmin Connect is FREE!

Which activities does this Track? Cycling, pilates, hiking?

The Vivosmart HR has four activity settings: walking, running, cardio, and other. I can't find out with the "other" tracks, but it probably just monitors you activity time and heart rate. The Vivosmart HR+ has GPS tracking which would work for cycling and hiking.

Does tha Vivosmart HR track steps if it is in your pocket? Due to the nature of my work, it would be in my shirt pocket for the majority of my work day.

It appears that it will track your steps while in your pocket. From my understanding, the devices uses multiple actions to determine steps count: like hand motion, the up/down motion while walking, etc.

will this work with a microsoft windows phone?

YES!! That was the determining factor in purchasing this device. Download the Garmin Connect app and it will show all of the devices that are compatible with Windows Phone, which is pretty much all Garmin devices.

Do I have to wear it on my left wrist to get a good reading on my heart rate, or can I wear it on my right wrist with good results. ?

I wear the Vivosmart HR on my right wrist and the readings are just as accurate as my Microsoft Band 2 and the machines at the gym.

Is the back of the watch metal or what kind of material is it? My mom is allergic to most metals so she needs a watch that is either rubber or a different material and I was wondering what the back of this watch was. Thanks!

The Vivosmart HR is all plastic. The only metal showing are the screws that hold the band on, but they are recessed so they shouldn't cause an issue.
