Best Activity Tracker Out There!
I have had my Vivofit since 2/27/14 and it has been excellent. I have owned the Fitbit One, Fitbit Flex, and Fitbit Zip in the past and this by far and away outperforms each and every one of those. First of all, YOU NEVER HAVE TO CHARGE THE THING (well not for like a year). That is a major plus. I have not had any syncing issues whatsoever. The sleep tracker works flawlessly, unlike the Fitbit Flex which would randomly disengage from sleep mode in the night. One of my favorite aspects is that it assigns you a daily goal trying to get you more motivated, not just the same number over and over. If it starts at 7,500 steps and I hit my goal, the next day the goal might be bumped up a bit. It constantly tries to get you more and more active.
Lets break it down, the thing is/has:
1. Waterproof (for normal things like swimming, showers, rain, etc...)
2. OUTSTANDING battery life. Next time you need to change batteries it will be 2015.
3. Very accurate for a wrist tracker. All wrist trackers have room for error, this one has less.
4. Very comfortable to wear. The clasp does not come apart.
5. Motivating - assigns you daily goals. There is a goal mode that counts DOWN to zero as well as the traditional view.
6. Able to connect to a heart rate monitor - show me a Fitbit that does that! (Yes I know the Loop by Polar does).
7. Ties into Garmin Connect - if you are an athlete who uses GPS watches it's great to tie it all together.
8. It is very light and low profile - doesn't snag on things.
9. Easy to set up - absolutely zero issues while connecting to the computer and my iPhone.
10. Syncs without problem - Not even one issue so far syncing my steps to my account.
There are many more things to say about this device but it has performed flawlessly for me so far. Yes, there was a day or so where it didn't pick up the daylight savings change, but guess what, I was PATIENT, gave it a day and they rolled out a fix for it.
