  1. ? *** Hey folks, looks like a phishing account posted something about a giveaway in the comments section. I did not post those messages and please ignore if you received that reply.

  4. Hi Des and thank you for the vid.

    Quick comment for those wanting to use in the gym to track workouts, be e aware that the Vivosmart does NOT sync with the Garmin Connect workouts. Meaning you will have to fiddle and adjust every single time you hit the gym.

    I just bought the device for this purpose but now I cannot recommend it, because it lacks this basic feature.

    Cheers,

  6. For us older folks this video is frustrating, it is like he has had 5 cups of coffee and is speaking as fast as he can…can't keep up. ?

  11. Garmin customer care is non-existent, in my honest opinion.

    After 9 months of trouble free use, the vivosmart 5 unit popped out of the strap unnoticed and was lost. This was the second time this had happened; the first, some six weeks beforehand, I found it in my car.

    After some 5k hours of wear, the strap was not fit for purpose, in my experience. Garmon offered a 30% reduction on anew watch, but absolutely refused to adhere to the 24 month warranty in the EU and replace it. The strap should hold the watch in place.

    I have bought Fitbit's previously and suffered a number of technical failings with them and getting a replacement was never a problem. The difference between the way the two companies care about their customers and their brand, couldn't be much wider, in my experience.

    Avoid Garmin. They just don't care about their customers.

  12. I do Les Mills Body Pump. The weight training on Garmin Vivosmart 5 seems so complicated. Should I record Body Pump as aerobics? It's lighter weights with many reps. Thanks!

  16. i have a nickel allergy – it looks like this watch should work out for me, as all the sensors seem to be behin glass? it looks like the charging port is the only area that might cause a problem, and it doesn´t seem to have direct skin contact?

  17. The amount of stats Garmin is giving is amazing. After 2 Samsung watches over the last 6 years, I've finally realised that I just need an unobstructive fitness tracker to be on my wrist all day, while working out and while sleeping as well. Fitbit is out of question just for the fact that you have to buy a subscription to get detailed stats.

  20. Probably won't get a response as this is a bit old now, but does it monitor REM sleep? I see there's a light and deep phase, but the video transitioned away before showing more.
