I bought a Garmin vivosmart HR on Amazon. I spent sometime reading reviews on several activity trackers and wanted one that would also monitor my heart rate. I bought a used one on Amazon, to save money. I was really happy with my vivosmart. Really, I feel it exceeded my expectations. I became more aware about how long I spend sitting down. So I started moving when prompted by my watch. I was glad to see that I walk a good number of steps each day as part of my regular life. That was encourging. I was still low on high intensity workout. Then I started riding my bicycle again and that was the missing piece. Sleep monitoring really opened my eyes to the need to sleep more. I used to be so tired all the time. I remeber one day I felt good, not so tired, and generally more focused, and I wondered what changed. I looked at the garmin Connect app and of course it showed that I had slept 8 hours that nigh. From there I really started to look at how much sleep I got every night and how this affected my overall well being. What more, I discovered the period tracker and I found that to be one of the features that I use the most.
I really like the fact that I could wear it all the time and that what I did, in bed, under the shower, at the pool, my vivosmart just never left my wrist until the band broke. I was really disappointed because it had been less than two years since I had bought it. I expected it to be more durable. I found out that I can buy non-expensive bands online and that what I decided to do. Right now I can still more or less track my steps by keeping the watch in my pocket but I really need to monitor my sleep.
