There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I saw some negative reviews about the User Interface (UI) as well as syncing. I am semi tech savvy and I found the UI to be easy to use. I did have to take a little time to learn everything, but it was not hard at all. I know the fitbit UI is simple and easy.....but...the fitbit also does not have the have all of the same features as the Garmin. To me the fitbit is more of just a step tracking device. I have to say that this device has many many more features than I am taking advantage of currently. It definitely can accommodate people that are beginners, or just want to keep track of steps to advanced athletes training for an event. This appeals to me because it can grow with my fitness level. It can track steps, swimming, running as well as show you data over time.
Syncing is not hard as long as you follow these steps. 1. Make sure your bluetooth is turned off. 2. Open the app. 3. Turn on bluetooth and then Sync. Easy peasy...do the steps differently and you WILL have syncing problems. Once I figured out those steps I have NEVER had a problem. I get frustrated when people leave negative reviews based on user error not device or program error. The following Pros and Cons are my opinions only and I am not covering all the features. There are enough reviews that cover every single feature. I am just pointing out what I like and don't like.
Pros for me: Basically the first two features were the main selling point for me.
* Waterproof: This was one of two reasons why I bought this. I am hard on my devices, I tend to loose them (I have gone through a few trackers that are not wrist type) and ruin them by getting them wet with everyday activities. Waterproof is a HUGE HUGE selling point for me. I never have to take it off, which means I never forget to put it back on.
* Battery life: this was the other HUGE main selling point. I hate always having to charge my devices, I have enough tech to keep track of, I don't want to worry about my fitness tracker too. This battery can last up to a whole YEAR. At this point even if I get 6 months out of it I am still thrilled.
* Move reminder: Being that I have a desk job, I love that it reminds me with a beep to get up and move. I can hear the beep clearly, and I have been to many rock concerts in my life. However, no one else seems to notice the beep.
* Locking band: I like that the band is secure, as well as easy to get off....if needed. I do loose trackers so I wanted something that was secure.
* Steps taken as well as steps needed: I like that I can see how many steps i have taken, or I can see how many steps I still need. I prefer to look at steps needed.
* Sets new goals each day: The program sets you new step goals each day realizing that 10,000 steps may be difficult to reach every day.
* Activity min: It recommends that you get in 150 activity min each week and keeps track of your activity min. This has been a good motivator for me because I was previously only getting in on a good week 120 min of exercise so now I am exercising more and slowly loosing weight.
Cons:
*Intensity Min: The device can also track intensity min, which means it tracks when you are exercising hard. The intensity min count for double activity mins. Meaning if you exercise harder you can exercise less and still meet your goal, makes sense. Unfortunately, you have to be exercising hard for 10 min straight at a time. Great for others, but, I usually do some type of interval on the treadmill of walking and running. You also need a heart rate monitor for this feature. Because of my type of exercise I do not do 10 min straight, so my intensity min never count. I wish the feature would count accumulative and not consecutive. Someday maybe I will be running for 10 min straight and then will appreciate this feature.
* Band is not very attractive. I am a woman and like jewelry and accessories. I find the band to not be very pretty when compared to the fitbit Ulta. However, I do like that if I want I can change the band and there are other accessories available that can make the band look more like jewelry or can hid the band.
* Community: There are not nearly as many users of the Garmin device compared to fitbit. I do not have any friends that I can compete with, its just me. I know with the fitbit the community is huge and it is easy to find someone you know. With garmin you can join a competition with other users, but I don't know them so it is not as fun to me. I like competing against people I know.
If I have any problems with this device I will update this review.
Pros: price, user friendly, accurate, doesn't need to be charged
Cons: wish it were a little sleeker style, but for $70, I'm not going to complain
***EDIT 5/24/2018 - This stopped working a couple months ago. I tried resetting it and changed the battery (although the battery should last longer than it has if that's the problem). After changing the battery, it then worked intermittently for a couple more weeks, before totally dying. I went on Garmin's support site, where I was told my device is out of warranty, but I can have it repaired for $69...the same price I bought it for BRAND NEW. What a joke. It sucks because as you can see above...I really did like this device. It's the only fitness tracker I've ever owned, but maybe I'll find a different brand now.
First, it uses a coin cell battery, so no charging is required. This was super important for me, as I don't need YET another device that needs to be charged, so this is awesome.
The app isn't bad. I really only need something that tracks my activity. I use the sleep cycle app to track my sleep, so that isn't important to me in a fitness tracker. However, this unit tracks sleep, and that pretty well, so that's a plus.
There is a tiny display on the unit, and the display is customizable. I don't use the display at all, mostly because of where I wear it. More on that in a minute.
To sync to your app on your phone, you need to push and hold a button right beneath the display. This is a problem. You have to push and hold the button, and on the display it cycles through different options. I am still learning all the options, and they cycle pretty fast, so unless you know ahead of time that the option you want is the second or third, by the time you read it and lift your finger, the unit has already cycled to the next option. This is a slight problem for me, but a huge problem for my mom. We will both just have to get used to it, I guess. I used to have a Misfit Shine, and with that, you could open the app on the phone and touch a button to sync, which was awesome. I went through the app, but couldn't find a way to request sync from the app, so this is definitely a negative.
The last thing, which to me is a huge problem, is the strap. I know, you can order others, and I have, but if you are going to include a strap, design a proper strap, or just leave it off! It's a little bit like saying I will manufacture and sell a car, but you have to order the kind of seats you like separately. Or a stereo. Or some other component that is required in order to use the item. Anyway, the strap - in any strap there are two ends right? One goes over the other. Imagine a watch strap which has a metal buckle, that has a metal tongue that goes into the buckle. The end of the strap lies on top of the tightened lower strap. In this case, the plastic locks are on the end of the upper strap. I imagine this is to ensure the end of the strap doesn't lift up. But the problem then is that you can never tighten the strap fully because you always need a small gap under the bottom strap and your skin in order to have enough room for the little buttons to snap closed - and that means it will never be tight to your skin. And, even though the strap lock looks pretty secure, it kept popping off whenever I pulled on my gardening gloves. I finally ended up putting the darn thing on my ankle. The good thing is that it hasn't popped off since; the bad thing is that it is just a little tight. I've ordered a new strap. Let's hope that one works.
As far as the activity tracker itself is concerned, it tracks really well. I found it to be accurate. But then again, I am wearing it on my ankle, and I have found that other trackers are also very accurate when you wear them on your ankle. But my mom wears hers on her wrist, and that is pretty accurate too.
I haven't used any of the other features. I did notice that one of the options on the display is a timer option, which I imagine would be useful, but honestly, I end up using the timer on my phone all the time, so I can't see myself using it. Besides, the display is pretty tiny and I wear it on my ankle anyway, so I'm definitely not using that option.
That's all I got. I'm not dissatisfied; I think it's OK for the price. It is a good unit. If you are looking at this, you can't go wrong, provided you are clear about the features that are important to you, and what this unit comes with.
