The editors didn't like

  • Clasp doesn't feel sturdy and can easily become snagged on something
  • App isn't as robust as other offerings
  • Sync times with the app are often times slower than expected
  • Not a very large community
  • I couldn't find any friends using a Garmin tracker
  • Intermittent problems syncing with smartphone
  • Display doesn't have a backlight
  • Mobile app is weak
  • Not particularly stylish. Doesn't count stairs climbed. No natively supported activities other than walking and running. Must actively enable sleep mode
  • No vibration for movement reminders
  • And battery needs physical replacing after a year. You're forced to use the Garmin app
  • Rather than arguably better third-party health apps. Lacks more complex activity tracking
  • Garmin Connect app is subpar compared to other fitness apps. Display isn't backlit
  • Making it hard to read in low light settings. Not the most comfortable fitness tracker to sleep in. Sometimes syncing takes multiple attempts
  • No backlighting to see the display at night
  • No vibration for alarm functionality

  • Abstract:  Garmin's black-on-black Vivofit shows the influence of the Nike+ FuelBand. The plastic tracker is set on a rubber wristband that comes in two sizes. The band is easy to strap on and is fairly comfortable to wear. Additional wristbands cost $41 for a pack...

  • Abstract:  El ejercicio asociado a la tecnología, principalmente con el smartphone, está de moda. Ya llegamos tarde a la operación bikini de este año, pero nunca es tarde para empezar a movernos más de lo que lo hacemos en la actualidad. Una buena excusa o motivació...

  • La pantalla no es tremendamente sexy, pero sí funcional. Siempre está encendida, te da la hora y se ve a la perfección a plena luz del día, ¡Sin recargas! Nada de perder tiempo recargando la pulsera. A la vieja usanza, con una pila que reemplazas cada añ
  • No tiene GPS ni altímetro y te tienes que comprar un pulsómetro aparte si quieres conocer tu ritmo cardíaco, Escasa compatibilidad con móviles Android, solo con aquellos con Bluetooth 4.0, Software (app en el móvil y en el ordenador) es poco intuitivo y

  • Autonomie 1 a, Ecran de qualit, Bracelet solid, Connectivité (Ant, Bluetoot, et accessoires
  • Application trop pauvre graphiquement et ergonomie à revoir, Absence du rétroéclairage
  • Même si ce Garmin VivoFit propose une autonomie d'un an, il vous sera difficile de l'utiliser à cause de son application mobile trop peu intéressante, c'est vraiment dommage, car il aurait pu être un très bon compagnon pour les sportifs. Pour les autr...

  • Autonomie d'un an, Bel écran à encre électronique, Application bien faite, Peut se porter en permanence
  • Esthétique et confort de port perfectibles, Mesures trop optimistes, Analyse sommeil sommaire
  • Ce bracelet Garmin Vivofit ne quitte jamais le poignet. Il est étanche, ses piles l'alimentent pendant un an et son écran à encre électronique s'avère bien lisible. Tout cela lui procure un avantage décisif face à la concurrence mais en contrepartie il fa...

  • Objectif de pas fixé par le bracelet, Absence de vibration lors d'un arrêt d'activité prolongé, Synchronisations sur smartphone perfectibles

  • Conscients de la difficulté à calculer le nombre de pas pour un si petit objet et compte tenu du résultat de certains bracelets concurrents, nous sommes tentés de dire que le Vivofit se positionne sur la bonne moyenne en termes de performances. Par ailleu...

  • Autonomia di 12 mesi, Display sempre acceso e visibile al sole, Barra motivazionale, Leggero e comodo al polso, Preciso nella misurazione dei passi
  • Problemi di sincronizzazione con Android, Al buio il display non si legge, Fascia cardio non inclusa nei 119 euro
  • L'arrivo sul mercato di numerosi smartwatch che includono funzioni per il fitness rende sempre più difficile la diffusione di smartband, soprattutto se il prezzo di questi ultimi si avvicina a quelli degli orologi intelligenti. In ogni caso, VivoFit ha da...
