Average score from experts who have reviewed this product.
Although I scored the original Vivofit higher, that was because the competition wasn't as strong back then. The Vivofit 2 does have some commendable features – it's waterproof, has a year-long battery life, can pair with a heart rate chest strap, etc. – b...
The Vivofit 2 has an always-on display, one year of battery life, and can be worn in the shower and the pool. The new model adds a stopwatch mode, a backlight, audible alerts, inactivity alerts and a greatly improved wrist band
There's no vibration, syncing isn't automatic and the Garmin mobile app doesn't provide detailed enough information or any smart coaching insights
The always-on display and long battery life make the Garmin Vivofit 2 an appealing alternative to the Jawbone Up2 and Fitbit Charge...

Year, long battery life, Accurate enough step counting, Waterproof to 5 metres
Not the comfiest thing, Sleep and run tracking a waste of time, The app could offer more useful analysis
A neat little fitness tracker whose battery life and waterproofing means you never need to take off. And if it were just that bit more useful and more comfortable, you would never want to take it off either. Still, a solid effort for the price....

Reliable activity tracking, Comfortable design and build, Great battery life,
Numerous syncing failures, No smartphone notifications, Not a major upgrade,
The Garmin Vivofit 2 essentially addresses a couple of the minor quibbles of the original – most notably the lack of a backlight and the unreliable strap – but fails to sort out our main problem its predecessor: buggy syncing. Sure, the auto-sync option m...
Abstract: Garmin has unveiled a bunch of new sportswatches at CES 2015 in Las Vegas. We got some hands-on time with the Fenix 3, Epix, and Vivofit 2, all of which look drastically different and suit different needs, but they're still ushering Garmin into the athlet...

Abstract: I've tested dozens of these wrist gadgets, but I've never bought one for myself. Now, I think, it's time. But which one? The Apple Watch? A Fitbit thing?I decided to conduct a little reality-show competition on my arm. I resolved...
Incredible 1yr battery life (uses 2 coin batteries), Updated to include automatic sleep detection, Fully waterproof, Pairs with ANTheart rate monitors, Alwayson display, Stopwatch function, Backlight, Audible alerts (optional), Wireless syncing, Band
Audible alerts can be hard to hear; no silent alarm, Cannot set manual alarms, Automatic syncing does not happen very often, which means a lot of manual syncing, No sleep detail (only total hours slept), App is not phenomenal and does not offer insight
Garmin has hit a goldmine by producing a variety of fully waterproof fitness trackers that can run on coin cell batteries -- something few other leading brands have done, but that many consumers want. A device like this requires little fuss -- you never h...
Abstract: The Garmin Vivofit 2 is powered by two coin cells that last approximately one year. This fitness watch also offers sleep and activity tracking and alerts you when should get up and walk throughout the day. With no mobile alerts, this device is mainly a fi...
Light and comfortable, One year battery life, Different motivations, Water-resistant (5 ATM Water rating), Connection to Garmin Connect app, Different colors
Lack of built-in heart rate monitor, Can't receive notifications from a phone
Vivofit 2 isn't an addition to your smart phone like most of the smart watches on the market. The idea of Garmin is to create a convenient and relatively affordable band for the sporty, or those who want to become sporty. There probably wouldn't be any co...
