" ... I purchased this product June 2017 and within 45 days the band clasp broke and is not repairable. ... "
" ... Keeps falling off . ... "
" ... I had the Garmin Vivofit 10 days when it fell off my wrist somewhere during my day. ... Until now I had enjoyed wearing it to track my activity but the band lock must be faulty. ... "
" ... I also found the band to be junk - kept coming undone, even though I had "locked" it on. ... "
" ... I made sure it was in the lock position every time I put it on, but it kept falling off anyway. ... "
" ... The display part of my garmin fell out and I wasn't aware it fell out, so now it's useless. ... "
" ... The original band broke. ... "
" ... I was very happy with my older version, but the band kept coming loose and sure enough, one day it fell off my wrist and was gone. ... I loved it, but was concerned that the clasp was not that secure even though the it was completely different from the old one. ... But I didn't and after wearing the watch for less than a week, it too disappeared from my arm---very depressing and a waste of money. ... BEWARE of the band! ... "

" ... First, the step counter is off - it was several hundred steps beyond my actual steps first thing in the morning! ... "
" ... This tracker is garbage. ... Currently, my tracker is telling me I have zero active minutes. ... Also, I have noticed that my steps are becoming less and less accurate as well. ... "
" ... This is a horrible fitness tracker. ... "
" ... A little to sensitive to vibration(counts steps while I am driving in my truck) but, that is my only complaint about it. ... "
" ... And apparently I walked 250 steps to work as I drove in the car. ... "
" ... Update: after 4 months the device spontaneously started resetting and randomly losing my steps. ... "
" ... With that being said I decided to wear it the next day and it didn't count any of my steps idk why? ... "
" ... It's only accurate on time spent swimming when you also put your stopwatch on and time yourself. ... I wanted an activity tracker that logged my distance so I don't have to count my laps, this is not that! ... "

" ... After a week of wearing it, I could no longer sync to the app on my phone. ... "
" ... I enjoyed what the Garman could do, but the clasp on the band would not stay connected. ... "
" ... Just a red bar showing and won't sync. ... "
" ... the first one stopped syncing - thought it was the battery - it was not - so I thoughtit was a fluke, stupid me . ... bought another - it is now not syncing . ... "
" ... Sometimes before bed I will have watched TV or I'm on the phone. ... "
" ... Vivoifit 1was more reliable but still the synchronization with Garmin Express was failing often. ... "

" ... Does not pair with app. ... "
" ... The app it works with sucks for tracking your activity-- it's ugly, slow, and a general pain in the ass. ... "
" ... The website is vague at best. ... Needless to say, I have not been able to use the Garmin app since. ... "
" ... I keep having to uninstall the stupid app and redo . ... "
" ... Having had a fitbit and thrown this out because the mobile app was completely useless, we thought an established vendor like Garmin could be not worse. ... "
" ... Update: after 4 months the device failed- randomly reset and lost all steps and would not sync or communicate with Garmin app. ... Could not sync or communicate with Garmin app. ... "
" ... I have HTC One and I have to restart the phone or remove the bracelet from the app and re-connect of I like to connect it. ... "
" ... First, my kids don't have their own mobile devices, and the Garmin Connect App doesn't make it possible to have a main (parent) account with multiple users/bands on one device like the Vivofit Jr. app can. ... I'm not sure what happens once they're synced-if it becomes a logging in/out issue like on the app. ... Use a Vivofit 3 on the Jr. app, and visa-versa. ... I am hoping my girls will be motivated to stay active by having the bands, that the app won't be too childish, and that I'll be able to keep everything synced and monitored without going completely crazy. ...
