Review on Garmin Vivosmart Purple Certified Refurbished by Michal Wjcik ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A worthless product, definitely not worth your money!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND to buy. As a fitness bracelet, it is a useless thing; for monitoring workouts, you can find more interesting models with the ability to replace straps from competitors. And to perform the functions of a pedometer and an alarm clock, the bracelet has an exorbitant cost.

Pros
  • Informative application from Garmin for tracking steps and sleep. No other benefits found. Fitness bracelet has an unreasonably high cost.
Cons
  • Extremely disappointed with this fitness bracelet model from Garmin! I bought in the online store of an authorized dealer 1 year 3 months ago. After four months of operation, the strap broke at the attachment point of the heart rate monitor capsule. Changed from an authorized dealer under warranty. For sending the goods for replacement, I paid another 600 to the courier service. The second bracelet served me a little less than a year. The disease is still the same - the strap breaks even with careful use. Useless thing. At the end of the period of use, the function of counting the floors passed began to cheat. During training, the skin under the bracelet sweats, maybe this is the cause of wear. The rubberized straps should hold up well in the gym though. The functions of the bracelet for training in the gym are worthless. The types of exercises are poorly recognized, and the counting of approaches is also incorrect. When doing some exercises in the gym on the mat (Pilates, yoga), there is a risk of accidentally pressing the touch screen of the bracelet, and then the recording of the workout can easily stop. I used in the past a simple sports watch from Suunto, in which accidental pressing and stopping the training recording were excluded.
