Garmin Vivomove Classic

inertiastrength

So I've ALWAYS been a Fitbit user, and I do love my Fitbit but Costco had the Garmin Vivomove at a really great price and it's cute af so I bought it knowing they have a great return policy anyhow.

Does anyone have this particular model? I really want to love it because I don't have to charge it but a couple years ago I tried a Garmin vivosomething very briefly and hated it because it wouldn't connect etc.

Any experience with this particular model from MFPers vs Amazon reviewers.

DC Rainmaker does quite decent reviews of most tracker watches https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/05/hands-on-with-the-new-garmin-vivomove.html

I don't have this particular model but I do love my Garmin (Vivoactive HR) and it's pretty accurate.

Awesome, thanks! That was a great review.

After a year of religiously using my fitbit and MFP (and losing a stone), I wanted to upgrade to something a bit more stylish so I bought the Garmin Vivomove. However, I'm back to using my Fitbit because the negative calorie adjustment on the Garmin was nuts!! I would do 9000 steps in a day and it would take 300-600 calories OFF my daily allowance. With Fitbit I knew that if I achieved c.4000 steps I would start to earn positive calories. It's really disappointing because everyone comments on how nice it looks but it's useless for keeping track of calories and weight. Has anyone else found this?
