Review on Renewed Garmin Vívofit 2 Activity Tracker in Black - No Ant Stick Included by Dianne Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great device at a great price!

So far so good. I removed a star for step tracking as swinging your arms can earn you steps. Still, it's a good motivator. I like big letters/numbers and it's easier to keep track of time than looking at my iPhone, especially in the middle of the night with the backlight on. Tip for the awesome new backlight feature: you need to hold the button for about 2 seconds to see it. The letters/numbers will be brighter, but you must test in low light as you won't notice the difference in bright light. I thought mine wouldn't work until I tested it in a dark room. After a few seconds, the backlight turns off automatically. I used the stopwatch to keep track of a few things, including some changes on a client's website. There is a very faint audio notification after an hour of inactivity, but I wish it could be set to a 30 minute notification. It syncs automatically and I love that I can also connect it to the Apple Health app. If you have complaints that the bracelet comes off too easily, just leave one of those little silicone rings next to the clasp. Personally I do not understand this problem at all because I find it difficult to tear off the clasp from the Garmin strap with my hand, even difficult to detach the straps with beautiful dots that I ordered here a great device at a super price. No regret!

Pros
