Stay connected while you're moving
Wearing a vivosmart ensures that you won't miss a beat while you're on the go.

Set your goals
vívosmart works with you to improve your fitness, by assessing your current activity level, then assigning a daily goal. And it'll adjust your goals each day so you make a smooth transition to a better, more active lifestyle.

After you've moved for a few minutes, the timer resets and starts tracking your inactivity again.

Features
Overview: The Garmin vívosmart is a water-resistant activity tracker that helps you reach your personalized daily goals. The slender, lightweight device is worn on the wrist, and displays your steps, calories burned, and distances traveled, and alerts you when it's time to move. It can alert you when you receive an email, text, or call on your smartphone. It can even monitor your sleep. This large vívosmart weighs less than an ounce, and has an adjustable wrist band that is 6.1" to 8.7" in length.
Garmin Connect: The vívosmart has built-in Bluetooth Smart technology so you can automatically pair it to your smartphone or mobile device. With the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone or computer, you can keep track of your activities, your daily goals, the calories you've burned, and help motivate you to keep active. You can also share your activities and goals with your friends on social media. The vívosmart settings are configured on Garmin Connect, including Time Format (12-hour or 24-hour), Measurement Units (miles or kilometers), Visible Screens, and Auto Goal. Garmin Connect for your home computer is compatible with Windows XP and newer and Mac OS 10.7 or higher.

Activities: The Garmin vívosmart keeps track of your activity level throughout the day and displays the results on the 1.35" x 0.14" (128 x 16 pixels) OLED display. Additional sensors, such as a heart rate monitor or a bike speed sensor, can be paired to the device. You can swipe the touchscreen display left or right to see what activities are available. Some of the activities and display screens include:
- Time/Date: Displays the current time, day, and date (can be set manually, or automatically when it syncs up to your mobile device)
- Step Counter: Provides a count of the total number of steps you take during the day.
- Step Goal: Shows the number of remaining steps needed to reach your step goal for the day. The device learns and proposes a new goal at the beginning of each day.

History: The device can store up to 1 month of activity data (daily steps, calories burned, sleep statistics). If you are participating in extensive fitness activities which includes daily use of the heart monitor, activity data can be saved for up to 3 weeks. Data storage capability depends upon how often you upload the data to your computer.
Water Resistance: The vívosmart has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, which means it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters (164 feet).

Love this. Besides being able to get text, email, & phone call alerts, my favorite feature so far is being able to track my sleep. It is great to not have to worry about getting it wet too.
