Review on 🏋️ Renewed Garmin Vívoactive HR GPS Smart Watch: Black, Regular Fit - Get Fit, Stay Active! by Adolfo Goins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Renovated - great price!

I've been wearing it for a week now. It arrived next day as promised (I paid an additional 3.99 for next day shipping so I could get it before the weekend). I wasn't sure if I'd like it given the size, but it's actually more comfortable than my Fitbit Charge HR, which I've had on my other wrist for over a year now. It took forever to get used to. I wore both for comparison as this is my first experience with a Garmin wearable. I agree with other reviewers that the Fitbit app is easier to use, but the Garmin Connect app gives you a lot of really useful information, and the many apps, widgets, and watch faces that are free to download make it fun and customizable. My favorite ski activity tracker. It creates a map of all your runs that you can view on your phone or computer and automatically stops when you stop or get on the lift. This works very well; Only once in 3 days of skiing did he miss a lift ride. I also like that it's waterproof, although I haven't showered or watered it yet. I am very happy with the factory repaired product and am purchasing a second one for my husband today. The cost savings are fantastic and there is still a 1 year warranty from Garmin. It arrived with a 50% charge and I charged it fully the same day and then again a few days later when the battery seemed dead, although it probably didn't need it yet. It looks low at the moment but when I checked the percentage in settings it's still 21%. So let's wait another day or two and see what happens when it actually dies. It looks to last around 5-6 days on a single charge, which I'm happy with, especially given the use of GPS and the new toys I've made. Overall the updated tracker is great value you get. Looks like new but without the pretty packaging.
