Garmin Fitness vívosmart bracelet with smartphone alerts, touchscreen (Electronics)

Customer Review

Update 11:10:14
After the update the app, it is now operated by the smartphone. Automatic brightness adjustment still can not be deactivated. The messages are now deleted on the band when they were picked up !!
Unfortunately, I have now but constantly disconnections, even if the phone is next to the bracelet. As the lengthy coupling has remained and even Mitteillungen are not always transmitted, the band is now back but unfortunately. Very bad!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far, the band makes almost only difficulty. It started at the time of commissioning, it could not be with the smartphone (with Android 4.4.4 Xperia Z1C) couple. I got it first connected to the PC and installed an update on Garmin Express. Now the already installed Connect app started. Finally, the couple worked after several unsuccessful attempts. And then the surprise - not an adjustment can be stored, neither the alarm nor at the 24-hour display. So again connected to the PC and all settings, though it worked quite well, just can not switch off the automatic brightness control.

Now supposed to run everything, but again too early happy! Every time you let the distance from the smartphone are slightly larger (approximately 8m), it is automatically disconnected, which is nothing unusual, but unfortunately, the devices do not couple again automatically. One must always start the app and search for the device, then click Connect, enter a 6-digit code that is generated by the band. If you are lucky it works at first, unfortunately, more tests are usually needed. The band vibrates to happiness and gives notice that it is no longer coupled. The whole bugging me already and is not suitable for everyday use, there must be improved !!

The notifications were with me the main reason for the purchase, but also here only about 60% of the notifications are reproduced at the tape, sometimes missing a call or Whatsapp.

The inactivity alarm works, but you have 5 min. Walk, so he resets.

The alarm clock works very well. UNFORTUNATELY but can be set only one time, you can then choose whether. Every day or only on weekdays Totally inadequate, especially since you can not even change the app alarms, but only on the PC. In my Up24 I can enter more than one alarm time for each day. What with me is necessary because I'm probably spoiled with the smartphone went the whatsoever, so that makes me suspicious. That can not believe it, but is so.

But I think the band is one too many steps. Times have counted for a short time.

The connection to Amazon Music Player works only limited, think that holds for all players, you can pause the music at the bracelet, track forward and back flush, but change the volume did not work with me.

The app Personally I like not, but that's a matter of opinion. Use the time nor the Jawbone Up24 and this app is clearer and more informative for me.

Although the band on the sides is very hard, it can be worn well when it creates very loose.

The Synronisation with the tape in the morning took forever, longer than half an hour in any case, thought it would crash! Eventually we went back, however, and the data were on the Z1C.

So, that was my first impression first, if I keep the unit, do not know yet. When the matter of the coupling but not in a timely manner does not change more.
