does this pair with the vivoactive? and is it waterproof? does it pair via bluetooth or ant+?

It is 'water resistant' to 30m. So yes I would say it's waterproof. However even though it is waterproof, you will not get readings while underwater. For example triathletes can wear it during the swim portion so they don't have to take it off and put it back on but they will only get HR readings during the run and bike. It pairs via ANT+ so it is compatible with the vivoactive. Reference: http://www.thisisant.com/directory/vivoactive/Hope I could provide you with the answers you are looking for.

I am not familiar with vivoactive nor have I taken it in the pool yet, but it does pair via ant+.

This will only pair with a Garmin head unit, or other ANT+ device. The Garmin Connect app will pair with most of their head units and watches.

I havent found a phone yet that It can not be paired with. This being my second one, as long as you have a phone that works with blue tooth, this I would say is the best one out there..hope this helps :)

Can you swim with the heart rate strap and the Vivofit. Most bluetooth devices can not transmit under water. This is the reason I am sending back the Polar Loop and H7 because I can't track my heart rate while swimming.

Yes there is an app...called Garmin connect...the vivofit does not automatically send stats to your phone ...connect by Bluetooth and sync...

Yes, it can be paired with an Ant+ footpod. See the DCRainMaker review: dcrainmaker dot com/2013/11/garmin-forerunner-depth-review dot html

This has worked with the Vivofit when I tested it out July 2014. The ANT+ usb stick that ships with the Vivofit, however, is a lower profile model...so you may want to try the version that accompanied the Vivifit unless you somehow wanted an extra usb stick for mobility or replacement purposes.

I use mine with a Garmin Edge 800. I think it works better, that is to say it is more reliable than the Garmin brand heart rate strap. It has never failed. While the Garmin brand strap frequently had pairing issues. You must use this with other ANT+ devices. It is not meant to work with Bluetooth, but for your phone you may need an ANT+ adaptor AND Bluetooth enabled.

My UP 24s had issues. They each stopped responding after a few weeks (Jawbone replaced them for free three times). I eventually gave up on UP and switched to Garmin vivofit.

I'm afraid the Nike+ watch doesn't support ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart, and as such it won't be able to communicate with Viiiiva.

Hi Holly, This particular model can not be paired together. The model you are looking for to pair is the JAM PLUS. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells them. The only real difference is that the PLUS are not rugged or water proof. I hope this is helpful.

Yes it does.. You just down load the smartwatch 2 app from Google play.. Then pair it bluetooth

It is compatible with all ANT+ devices if you have a power tap/cadence sensor with ANT+, it can be used. However I strongly recommend not to buy this product based on my worst experience with the product and the after sales service from Timex. Most customer unfriendly company I have ever dealt with

You need an Android device with Bluetooth 4.0 in order for it to work. BTLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) does not require pairing.

I'm not sure, it paired with my Forerunner 610 watch. I just checked the Garmin website and it shows it as a compatible accessory to the Vivofit so I'd assume it would. See link below and select "compatible devices" tab, Vivofit is list at the bottom.https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/fitness-sensors/soft-strap-premium-heart-rate-monitor/prod15490_010-10997-07.html

When you first receive this, you'll have a little ant USB stick that you use when downloading the "Garminconnect.com/vivofit" to your computer. You must pair the vivofit to your computer You also download the Garmin Connect app to your smart phone and pair the device. It'll pair and then say not connected, that's not a problem though. Whenever you want to see your daily results, just push the button on the side of your vivofit until it says sync and let it sync to your phone. I hope this helps!! If you have any problems, you can always google it.

the Garmin Vivofit comes with its own app. I have not tried to sync it with the Fitbit app.
