Has Garmin's first foray into fitness bands come too late in an already saturated wearable market, or has it learned from the errors made by competitors and designed the best active lifestyle tracker to date?
PROS
Easy setup and useful cross-platform application; Accurate sensor information for precise performance measurements
CONS
Lackluster screen is poor in heavy sunlight
VERDICT
With the vast number of fitness bands currently available on the market, the Garmin Vivofit stands head and shoulders above the majority, as it's able to offer a greater deal of accuracy, when compared to competitors. For that reason, the R1 400 that it will cost you is certainly money well spent, especially if you value a device that marries function and precision so well.
