Vivosmart HR+ Activity Tracker Regular Fit, Black - Refurbished
(GRVIVSMRTKRB)
Pros: Secure attachment buckle for unit
Display is easy to read, even in bright daylight
Easy to setup and use
It is WATERPROOF for normal, daily, activities
Cons: It's a little clunky on wrist
Some activity features are easy to initiate
Plastic face, have had several marks on screen, luckily they rubbed off eventually
Other Comments: The companion App, Garmin Connect, is easy to navigate and provides more than enough information for most users.
Wristband replacement apparently is a factory accomplished procedure, not sure that's a very desirable thing
Yes, I recommend this product

Activity wrist band

Garmin
Vivosmart Wireless Activity Wristband with Heart Rate Monitor (Large/Slate)
(GRVIVOSMARTBNLGY)
Pros: Slim and looks stylish. Price is right if it is on sale.
Cons: Bluetooth always disconnect and hard to reconnect. This makes many functions unusable most of the time. It is very inconvenient especially turns no GPS support when you joke or run. The information is hard to read outdoor. The plastic band is a bit sticky. I don't feel comfortable wearing it for long especially in summer time. It also difficult to take off and itchy me once I sweat or get wet because the rubber trapped moisture between my skin and the band. The battery life last maximum 7 days and you have to take it off at least once every week. Turn out I don't like to wear it and want to give it to my wife but the size is too big and there is no way to change the band for her.

Vivosmart Wireless Activity Wristband with Heart Rate Monitor (Large/Slate)
(GRVIVOSMARTBNLGY)
Pros: Connects with MyFitnessPal for calorie consumption data.
Good analytics in the mobile app
I've gotten almost 2 weeks between battery charges so far
Can delete notifications from the VivoSmart, without having to unlock phone
Can configure functions enabled, so can remove unused or unneeded functions from band to simplfiy UI
Cons: Requires bluetooth enabled on the phone, so reduces phone battery life
Connection from VivoSmart to phone is bluetooth, but app requires data connection to sync, so won't sync when out of coverage
Other Comments: VivoSmart has worked well so far, and does everything advertised.
Yes, I recommend this product

Vivosmart Wireless Activity Wristband with Heart Rate Monitor (Large/Slate)
(GRVIVOSMARTBNLGY)
Pros: Slim and looks good on the wrist. Never tried any others so cannot compare.
Cons: It's bluetooth always disconnect. It makes the function of email alert and other functions require bluetooth connection with the phone turn useless most of the time. The other thing is the messages is hard to read under the sunlight. Kept wearing the plastic band for 2 weeks without takeing off. May be the wet trapped between my wrist and the plastic band after hand washes, It starts to make my skin itchy so now I completely take it off.

Vivosmart Wireless Activity Wristband with Heart Rate Monitor (Large/Slate)
(GRVIVOSMARTBNLGY)
Pros: Like the information it provides.
Cons: Operations and instructions are very poor.
Info screen is off center, about 10% of info is blocked at the top. Able to read, but not easy. It slipped by, qc, or it is a second. I will live with it but I probably wouldn't recommend it.
Other Comments: If it wasn't such a pain, I would send it back.

Vivosmart Wireless Activity Wristband with heart rate monitor (Small/Black)
(GRVIVOSMARTBNSK)
Pros: Lightweight band. Has safety latch to lock it on but that is very difficult then to get it off. Can get info on it from phone or computer if synced to it. Has several features if you can figure out to view them and what they mean. Nice light weight watch and sometimes the time to move reminder is helpful.
Cons: Rather hard to use or get much useful info from it. Need to remove it to recharge it. Once you set it up to view info on phone or computer it then has less options on the band and you need to sync it every time to get most useful info. Not very accurate for steps since any movement like typing or eating seems recorded too. Heart rate requires extra hardware to use. Takes some skill and practice to get much useful info from it besides regular time. Rather poor instructions on how to set it up and use to get helpful info. You need to load software off the internet to use it at all.
Other Comments: I might find it more useful if I can figure out how to use all the features. Like how to set up alarm. Set up took several tries and instructions are very weak help. So far all I get from it is regular time and sometimes I get a vibration that i have been inactive for awhile. I also used the sleep evaluation program once or twice after i synced it to my phone. it might be more useful to someone who is tied to their phone and has it on them all the time.
