Semi-accurate Fitness Tracker
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: GradStudent
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first fitness tracker and I must say that in general, fitness trackers supplement very well with all lifestyles. I'm an engineering graduate student, and there are times when I'm very active, but other times when I am in the office all day. It's good to get the statistics for both times.
I bought the Garmin Vivosmart Hr+ for its waterproof capabilities, "thin band" (I have small wrists), and GPS tracking. My biggest issue with the watch is that the heart rate monitor is not very accurate. When I'm in the shower for example, my heart rate will definitely less than 100, but it will record 130 bpm. On the flip side, when I run track workouts, the heart rate will stay at 150 when I know I'm somewhere near 185-190. I believe that somehow, the gear is coupled with surface skin temperature, which can lead to pretty inaccurate results.
I really reap the benefits of having the bluetooth connection to my phone, and now I actually check my phone less because in a sense I'm always checking my phone (always wearing the watch). The sleep tracker is rather useful for knowing the quality of my sleep (deep vs. light sleep hours). I'm not sure how accurate the number is, but they correlate well with how sluggish or rested I feel.

MacBook Air features up to 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.1 Its thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go-and powerful enough to do everything once you get there, better.

Life is easier with a Mac

Verified Purchase:Yes
Just switched over from being a Windows user for 11 years. Smoothest transition ever. There are just so many neat shortcuts on the keyboard that make navigation through windows/pages much easier. I never use my mouse anymore since I can now access any page with some quick taps/sweeps of the touch-pad.
Pros:
1. The battery life is amazing (9+ hours)
2. Extremely portable
3. Anti-dust, or at least appears to be (
4. With your Best Buy credit points earned from this purchase, you can purchase a 5 TB hard drive and resolve any space issues.
