Hi All!

I use an old HR monitor (10 years old) that has a watch that came with it to monitor HR and calories burned during my workouts. Do you think it can really help your fitness and weight loss goals to buy a product like the garmin vivofit or similar products? Wondering if the technology has gotten a lot better/accurate?

    it's a tool like anything else. a hammer can help you build a house, but you need have the ability to use it.

    i love my garmin. it has GPS, and can be used for running, swimming, and cycling. it cost me $500. but if i didn't go out and use it, it would be useless.

    I've had the Vivofit since March and am loving it. I still using my Garmin Forerunner (gps/hr) when I run but for my other exercise/workouts I just use the Vivofit.
