      Hi Debsjeav! I am getting mine today and excited to try it! Have you received yours yet and how do you like it?

      Hi Debsjeav and gleggio! I am using the Garmin Vivofit. I have only been using it about 6 days and the little red line and I have a love/hate relationship. It shows up and calls me lazy and I have to get up and show it who is the boss around here. Have a great day!

      Hi! I know that Love-Hate relationship! It tells me to 'Move!' And I tell it off. But I get up and move anyway. It's been 1 day but it's working! And I love it. I've been using MFP for years but this is the first I've joined the community. So good to know others with Garmin.

      Hi StaceyS51 & Gleggio, well i wish I coudl be positive about it but I am losing the will to live with mine- I burnt 376 cals in class according to my vivosmart HR. however when it syncs with MFP it has 3 entries - 1 x 376 and 2 x 752 along & registered it as a run even though it was a dance class. Almost tempted to go back to my polar HR7 even though I wanted to move from the chest strap

      I just got the vivosmart HR also and looming for Garmin connections. I am RopinC on Garmin, please feel free to add me.

      @Debsjeav I had the doubling up problem too but then figured out I had a circular tracking. I was using MFP, Apple health, Under Armor Record. I had to go change the settings on which ones would sync. Not sure if that is even the same problem you are having though.

      Sorry to hear this. I have a few glitches too but I think they are because I don't read the whole manual but parts as I run into problems.

      I know what you're saying. I've been swimming/water exercises for 45 min. & it shows 15 swimming & the rest walking(?). Maybe it's just reading my motions as steps.

      Best of Luck!

      Hi Debsjeav

      I would really like to have a Garmin Vivosmart HR and one day I will save up enough pennies but at the moment I have the Garmin Vivofit which I love and does everything for me except the heart rate of course though I can use a chest band HRM with it if I wanted to. My name on Garmin Connect is Nette_54 the same as here. There are groups Garmin Connect you can join as well and of course add me here too if you would like.

      For those Garmin users who are 40 years or older there is a Facebook group who are terrific bunch of people, Garmin Connect have groups too.

      Facebook - International Garmin Vivo 40+ https://www.facebook.com/groups/vivofitover40s/

      Garmin Connect - International Garmin Vivo 40+ https://connect.garmin.com/modern/groups

      Have fun with your Garmin :)

      Hey, guys and dolls--I got my vivosmart a couple of weeks ago, and for the most part I like it. I've just friend-requested everybody here that I could.

      Cyberdon2001 and Mama_C, I couldn't find you on Garmin Connect. You can add me--I am marymezzo on Connect.

      I'm mostly using my Garmin for estimated calorie burn and heart rate. My primary exercise is strength training, with cardio via rowing machine and to a lesser extent stationary bicycle and elliptical. Those don't "cover ground," so the only "credit" I get for them is active calories.

      Anyway, I look forward to connecting with all of you.

      I just got my vivosmartHR last night and although i am still battling some of its sensitivity, I am really liking it! I have a considerable amount of weight to do it and battling a hormonal imbalance so i thought being able to access my HR might help me make my workouts more effective! feel free to add me I love walking, swimming and dancing.
