I'm heartbroken! :(
I really loved my Garmin Vivofit - this was my late birthday present to myself. I loved the calorie and step tracking and the reminders to get up and moving when I had been stationary too long.
My only small complaint was that I had to turn it on to "sleep" mode to monitor my sleep and I never remembered to do that before I'd hit the hay. Otherwise, things were great. I especially love how it synched with my ANT+ HRM from my trusty Garmin Forerunner and would accurately measure my calories while doing activities like cycling.
Here's the heartbreaking part - I owned my Garmin Vivofit for a total of 8 days. During those 8 days, the clasp came undone 3 times. Once at the airport - I felt it fall off and retrieved it. Once at home, and I also found it. This evening, it fell off en route to my son's baseball game, and despite hours spent looking, I did not find it. I just wondered if anyone else had the same experience or if this was a fluke with my band. I wore the "small" band that came with my Vivofit. Also if anyone else had similar experiences, I wondered if Garmin was able to help with a replacement.
I feel conflicted; perhaps I should have kept it somewhere safe while I was out, but isn't the point to where it everywhere?
