Question about the vivofit :)

Sandra_Iren

Hi I currently use fitbit but thinking about changing to vivofit since I have a forerunner 620 and I think it would be Nice to have all my data in one place.

so my question is : when I go for a run with my forerunner with hrm, should I take the vivofit off ? I'm worried the calories will be calculated wrong here on mfp If I don't

I don't own a forerunner so I can't say for sure, but there was talk about an upgrade that would recognise the 'superior' garmin item during an activity time frame.

The above might answer your question.

I too have the FR 620. I never take my vivofit off (at work I wear it in the pocket). I only sync the 620 to the HRM and just leave the vivofit on.

I wear both my Forerunner and the Vivofit during my runs and haven't had any issues w/it double counting calories (or anything else). I'm really liking my Vivofit but I do like Fitbit's app/online manager alot better.
