Why the Garmin VivoSport is the Best Budget Fitness Tracker

[@the_feature_selector859]

If they made this watch with music capability this would be best watch. I love the small size of it compared to the rest

[@backpackingcentral]

I think it has that not sure what you're looking for

[@mark-qi6di]

At 8:50 you caught yourself going off on a tangent, lol. Would have loved to hear what else you had to say!

[@backpackingcentral]

I probably stumbled that's why I cut it😂

Fitbit does have GPS by the way... the Charge 4. Cost at the moment through Amazon is $149. 3x's what you paid... however, straps can be replaced. I'm a Garmin guy though.

[@backpackingcentral]

Yes the Charge 4 has GPS, I was referring to the Charge 3 without the GPS. The Garmin also came out almost 3 years ago about time Fitbit caught up😜

[@athletejmv]

Backpacking Central agreed. I tried the Charge 4... it’s great. However, doesn’t play with with Garmin or Strava well or at all... now I’m just using the Garmin Instinct Solar but don’t like how bulky it is.

[@silverforever15]

Does the Fitbit charge 4 require a monthly or yearly subscription?

[@Bartok1981]

Hi! What would you recommend me? A VivoSport or a Forerunner 235? Which is better?

[@backpackingcentral]

I'd get the VivoSport, the 235 is big and bulky and I cant get used to that personally

[@dac283]

Foretunner !!! Is beter

[@Bartok1981]

Darko Blazekovic I know it is better, but I sold mine and bought a VivoSport... For me is more easier to use, smaller, lighter... I prefer the VivoSmart

[@athletejmv]

I've had broken bands in the past too (Vivosport... within months). If it had replaceable straps, I'd be ok with that, but it doesn't. HR wasn't very accurate for me. I prefer the screen and size of the Vivosport... the durability/maintainability is greatly lacking though. I wouldn't hesitate another gen if they fix the glaring issues on this one. I think what did my band in was doing pushup with it on... puts stress on the strap.

[@cruthai]

Forerunner for sure

[@melissaaguero5301]

Can connect with the app Nike Run Club?

[@backpackingcentral]

Looks like you can in settings and then partners and can pair to the Garmin app

[@yaesmucho]

Little old, but im still happy with my VivoSport, I'll keep it until... you know.... however this aint chinese cheap failing watch....

[@backpackingcentral]

I loved it when I had it!

[@zenobikraweznick]

[@backpackingcentral]

[@dac283]

[@maxquaini]

Not sure if I'm just lucky but mine is almost 2 years old (maybe some more) and still looking like brand new despite the daily use

[@stagney]

Apparently you can get it to fit in a Vivofit 1 or 2 band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmPEc2qgn96Wmqs&feature=emb_title

The worst strap ever experienced.... A complete rubbish....
