I am looking into getting a Garmin vivosmart fitness watch and I wanted to know if anyone has it and does it sync with my fitness pal? Right now I am just using my iPhone to count my steps

    Fitmom30 - It works, my daughter got me one for Christmas and it links to MF and with data on calories burned. You may have to change a setting to allow it update for your MFP. Good luck!

    My wife has one, she is lucky if it sync's with Garmin connect, constant problems with Bluetooth staying connected to phone. I am always re-installing Bluetooth, make sure garmin connect app is off, have to shut off BT on phone, turn BT back on, turn on garmin connect and pray it hooks up, even installed an app to help resolve connections to BT, have to charge it about every 6-7 days, now I have the Vivofit with HRM, battery last 1 year, only had since Christmas, was a gift, works pretty well except gives wrong estimates for calories burned, steps are pretty accurate when walking but not accurate when walking on a treadmill. Hope this helps! B)

    I haven't had any syncing problems with my Vivosmart to Garmin connect, MFP, or with Bluetooth. It only drops Bluetooth if I get out of range of my phone. It also links up with my Garmin Heartrate monitor with no problems.
