    Having a problem finding one that syncs with a Galaxy Core Prime phone. Any suggestions? I had originally wanted a FitBit with HR but it doesn't work with the phone.

    I have a Samsung phone and bought the Fitbit Blaze and they wouldn't work together. I ended up returning the Fitbit because of it.

    I now have the Garmin Vivosmart HR and I actually like it better than the Fitbit! It's not pretty (none of them are, IMO) but it tracks really well from what I can tell.

    If you dont mind me asking, Do you think the Garmin would fit around an ankle? I want a wrist band Tracker Primarily for a sleep tracker/Activity and been looking at Garmin, but I work part time Cashiering and I don't want the frequent hand moments to mess up the Step count and was planning on putting it around my ankle during work so it would still track steps and not arm movements. ( work pants don't have pockets otherwise I would just stick it in pocket during work)

    Does it also track driving as steps? ( I would assume not by your review of it, But doesn't hurt to still ask )

    Mine (Garmin Fenix 3) does not pick up any appreciable numbers of steps from driving or most hand movements. When it first came out it would record steps when you'd turn the steering wheel, but a lot of users complained and they fixed it a long time ago.
