This is going to be a difficult review to write be...

This is going to be a difficult review to write because two of my garmin watches (the Forerunner 920XT and the Vivofit) have been great watches for me. I've had the Forerunner at least 5 years and it's still running strong and always works well for my training needs. I also had a Garmin vivofit watch that ran for 2 years straight without an issue (unfortunately I lost it this past January). I decided to buy a new everyday garmin to track my steps and some workouts. After a lot of research I purchased a Vivosport. I can only say I am so disappointed with this watch. The battery only lasts about 5 days before I have to charge it. It's supposed to track how many times I walk up and down stairs. It's always wrong and misses many of my stair climbs. It is constantly connecting and disconnecting from my phone. I can only move about 2 meters from my phone and it's disconnects and re-connects over and over. When I do a full weight lifting set, it only seems to count one or two lifts. Quite often it will not light up when I lift my arm to check the time which is supposed to be a feature. I have only had this watch about a month and I'm already totally frustrated with it. Finally, I also have a Garmin helmet camera that has never worked. I paid well over $200.00 for it and have used it once or twice. The battery runs out within 10 minutes of starting a ride so I just quit using it.
