Bought as a gift for a friend.  He was wanting a nicer watch, but wanting to keep up with his running at the same time.  He has told me how happy he has been with it and accurate it is.  Highly recommend to anyone!

Very happy with tracker.  Pretty lightweight, easily replaces my normal watch.  Does step counter, calorie rate and sleep patterns.  Has sedentary alert as well as wake alarm options. App to sync band to phone is nice.

I love my Samsung Gear FIT 2. I have often admired the fitbits and such but I've always tried to keep myself on a budget and didn't want to spend the money. When I found this and it had many of the features of the fitbits with storage for music and GPS capability, I was SOLD! I got the Medium/Large and should have probably gotten the smaller size. My wrist is 5 3/4" where I wear it (just above the wrist bone) and it fits JUST perfectly with the clasp in the very last hole, still measuring my heart rate quite accurately. I love all the apps to measure steps, water intake, caffeine intake, heart rate, etc. I haven't tried the Bluetooth music player just yet, but I intend to! It syncs perfectly with the Gear Fit app on my Samsung Galaxy S7 and gives me awesome feedback on my sleep, exercise, heart rate, and also has a place to track my diet. This watch is exactly what I was looking for and is actually super cute! Gives me the notifications I want (text, calls, and Facebook messages) and lets me know when I'm being lazy (You've been inactive for 50 minutes!) haha! Also has a timer, stopwatch, and an extremely useful "find my phone" feature. I'm horrible at setting my phone down and forgetting where I set it. The watch, as long as it's within Bluetooth range, makes my phone ring. :) Also vibrates when I have an appointment logged in my calendar on my phone and when my alarm is going off. This helps me wake up in the morning and still gives me the notification reminder even if my phone is on vibrate and wouldn't normally catch it. Highly recommend! If you are super active (runner, lifter, etc) may I suggest ordering a security clasp. I ordered these (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/MDW-Security-Fix-Clasp-for-Gear-Fit-Band-Don-t-Lose-Your-200-Investment/dp/B00L7U1NTE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">MDW Security Fix Clasp for Gear Fit Band -- Don't Lose Your $200 Investment!</a>&nbsp;and, as the band fixture is basically a wider peg that fits into a slightly smaller hole in a flexible rubber band, this little addition has kept my Gear Fit 2 on my wrist when it inadvertently came undone.

Very handy replacement for Fitbit Tracker products

I am loving this great little device. I decided to buy the Garmin instead of the fitbit for a few key reasons. One of them was because the vivofit has to be manually synced to my phone where as the fitbit is always communicating with the phone or device you are using which in turn drains the devices battery. I live that the information I want is right there on my wrist and the screen is large enough to see without my glasses on. The move indicator is a real help. I work a desk job and sometimes forget to get up and stretch. The vivofit is helping with that. I am someone who is up to speed on the latest technology and I do not want to be so this was the perfect for me. It's not the fanciest and best you can buy with all the bells and whistles but if you are looking for something simple and easy to use this is it!

I am impressed with this smart bracelet/watch! Aside from providing the date and the time like a regular watch this tracks steps, calories, sleep and with the app you can also set reminders and set up an interface with your smartphone (supports both Android 4.3 or above and Apple 7.0 or above) so you can get call alerts to buzz right on the watch! I personally love this because it allows you to be discreet if your phone is on silent. Lastly, one of my favorite things which is not something on the phone is to charge this you simply take the face off the band and plug it into a USB port! No cords to remember, lose or replace! In trying this tracker and comparing it to the FitBit HR Charge it has kept all of the same data and the steps have been +/- 8 every time. If you are looking to try out a step counting watch but don't want to shell out the $$$ for the big name ones, this is DEFINITELY the way to go as it is currently under $35. Received for review and a discount

I wanted a device that pretty much does it all and is accurate. I used to upgrade Fitbit products, but found their accuracy was way off. I mean, who am I kidding when I get steps counted for clapping my hands?

I owned the Garmin Vivosmart and was pleased with that tracker. I upgraded to the Vivosmart HR when they were first released and, with the exception of the stairs climbed metric, and very pleased with its functionality and accuracy. Is the HR measurement perfect? Not at all, and you probably won't find any wrist worn HR tracker that is as accurate as a chest strap HR monitor.

This device has many more plusses than negatives, IMO.
+Clearly readable screen that lights up with the time, date and day of week
+Move alerts
+Alarm function with vibrating alert
+Fairly accurate HR
+Text/phone/email notifications
+Weather
+Distance traveled
+Calories burned
+Active minutes reading
+Steps
+Sleep tracker
+Ability to track runs, cardio or other activity separately
+Ability to switch to portrait or landscape viewing modes
+Waterproof. Can be worn while swimming or in the shower
+Slim profile. Not bulky or obtrusive

-Stairs climbed is way off. Per Garmin tech support, they are aware of this issue and are working on a fix

This is a really nice exercise band. It has sooooooooooo many features that Im wondering if the fitbit even has the features this thing has? I personally don't think its as cute as other tracker bands - they could work on the design. But other then that, the band is very easy to use. Pairs right up with your smartphone within 10 seconds - the app is easy to find in the app store and download and use. The instructional manual it comes with explains everything perfectly. The price on this is right for anyone looking for an activity tracker on a budget. It will please you with the features and ease of use! Another plus is it is relatively waterproof.......... i haven't swam with it yet - but a bit of sweat from your exercise isn't going to stop this thing from working! Great product!

EDIT: I wanted to add a list of features this has. It has an easy to use app where you scan the QR code and it brings you to the app store to find the FREE app. You can also search for it in the app store. The band has a: pedometer, exercise calorie counter, sleep tracker, smartphone "finder" with vibrate, silent personal alarm (set within the app) (vibrate), message alert notifier (when the smartphone is in Bluetooth range), call alert notifier (same as message alert). I love this band!

I also love how if you chose to view "steps" during the day - you set it to that screen and anytime you click it on, its on THAT screen. You can chose what the main screen is!

The only feature I wish this had was a battery indicator ON the band itself! you have to go to the smartphone app to see how much charge your pedometer has :( :( :(

I received this product for my honest review and these are my opinions after testing it.

EDIT: 04/06/2015... I don't know what happend. But Its been a week and its already stopped working. The time is WAY off.... theres no way to set it myself, so I can't fix it. I unpaired it from my iphone and deleted the pairing, then REPAIRED and RESET... still broken. And I leave the tracker on the counter and it just randomly is counting steps --- and its not even on my arm! ITS ON A TABLE! So sad, cause I really liked this thing :( Was FIVE STARS = NOW ONE STAR :(

I received this fitness tracker as a birthday gift (it was the only thing I asked for). I've been wearing it non-stop for a few weeks now and I love it! It looks great as a bracelet and goes with every outfit. I've been converting it to a clip to wear on my pajamas at night. The tracker syncs easily to the free app and seems to accurately keep track of steps and the fitness/menses details I record. I like that I can do everything right on my phone, including using the app for some meditation. I get frequent compliments at work about the bracelet and everyone at my gym wants one after seeing how great the leaf looks on all my activewear. I would highly recommend this item. I have metal sensitivity on my skin, and the rose gold finish hasn't irritated me one bit.

What a lovely little device! Beautifully designed, it fits easily into a pocket though I find the clip that it comes with versatile and comfortable too. Helps you stay aware of your activity level, automatically uploads so long as you have the connector attached to a computer connected to the internet and you go near it. I'm finding I plug it in to simultaneously charge it and upload every 3-4 days or so. Worth making sure you don't leave it TOO long as after a while it loses the detail of your activity.

The sleep tracking is also a nice simple solution (you wear a wrist-band at night, put the fitbit in it and hold down the button to start a counter). Finding it to be very accurate so now I don't need to separately track my sleep.

All in all, I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to improve their fitness levels (you get what you measure!) and know whether they are sleeping well or waking up multiple times in the night.

I've been on the fence about purchasing a fitness tracker for a while now, and did tons of research before making the plunge. Let me give you a sense of what I was looking for in a device, and how that led me to buy a Misfit Ray.

- I wanted a device that could track both my steps and my sleep: the Misfit Ray does both really well. The step tracker is on the conservative side of accurate if anything, which it good, because it encourages me to get more exercise in. I was surprised at how well the device tracked my sleep. It correctly identifies any bathroom breaks I take as "awake" and can even tell when I'm tossing and turning in bed. It marks heavy vs light sleep on the app as well. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I really like seeing how much my sleep breaks down into these categories. I do find that I feel more well rested when the app says I got more heavy sleep, so I think it is fairly accurate.

- I wanted something I didn't have to take off to charge: This point goes hand in hand with my above point. I didn't want to do a FitBit device (or any number of Smart watch devices) because they all required (sometimes really complicated) charging routines. The Ray runs on 3 batteries, and they last 4-6 months. The part of the band that opens to let you put the batteries in is easy to access.

- I wanted something I wouldn't have to take off period: I wanted to be able to forget about my fitness device! The Ray is waterproof up to 50 m, which means you can wear it in the shower and swimming. This is, of course, unless you have a leather band.

- I wanted something cute: honestly, a lot of fitness trackers are super ugly and manly looking. I wanted something that was not an obvious tracker, and that I could wear alongside my watch and other jewelry if I wanted to. The Ray fits the bill. Super slick and feminine looking. Paired with a leather band it is really even more pretty.

Ok, now for the other features I wasn't necessarily looking for but which I see as a plus:
- Vibrate alarm in the morning
- Triple tap function (I set mind to act as a bluetooth controller for my smart lights -- how cool is that?)
- App uses point based system and lets you see how much of the moon's circumference you've walked.
- Really responsive and helpful customer care! My first Misfit had some technical problems and they replaced it for free and sent me a new one within the week. The new one works great :)

My only complaints are that batteries can sometimes get lodged sideways in the battery compartment. Nothing a pair of tweezers can't fix, but a little annoying. Maybe there can be a push up button of some sort in later versions to help alleviate this. Another thing I'd like to see is more stat tracking in the app. I wish that I could summarize my activity over weeks or months, and have this visualized to see how my fitness levels are changing.

I love this tracker - built in GPS is the reason I got it.  The screen is pretty much bulletproof - takes a licking with no scratches, scuffs or crack and it has been bumped quite a bit.  The battery life is great - even when on "E", you can still get a day out of it.  I did try to replace it with a Samsung Gear Fit2 and that was a big mistake.  While the notifications aren't as saavy as the Samsung or the Apple Watch, the tracker's main purpose is activity.  The menus are easy to navigate through and simple to manually start a desired workout session.  Some settings will require the dashboard or the app to configure.  Not too big a deal.  The band for this tracker does not get high marks, however.  My original Surge developed band issues within 6 months of use (plastic peeling and exposing a portion of the "skeleton" beneath).  I received a replacement from Fitbit (customer service is great BTW).  Now within another six months, this band is bubbling on the front and the rear of the band where it attaches to the "body" is having issues.  I really wish that for this price, Fitbit would develop a replaceable band option for this tracker.

I love my Garmin vivofit with HRM! I track steps all day, but I LOVE that I can strap on my heart rate monitor and get an accurate calorie burn when I'm working out. I use My Fitness Pal to track food & exercise, and the Garmin syncs with MFP in an instant.

I LOVE my new fitness tracking Garmin! I love that I can look at how long I slept as well. I love the GPS mode when I am bicycling and seeing my path that I rode! I love tracking my steps and honestly just everything about it! Fits perfect and its stylish too!!!!

(Mine was NOT a fake - I purchased from Shot-In)

Great product - I love LOVE love this band! Does exactly what it's supposed to AND for a fraction of what the overpriced FitBit, Jawbone, Vivofit, and the rest charge for similar devices. It's amazing at tracking my sleep, steps and calories burned!

PROS:
works perfectly
super lightweight
long battery life
easy to setup
looks nice
waterproof
corrosion resistant
can buy different color bands
easy to customize via Mi Band app

CONS:
can't think of anything specific to the band or tracker itself

MI BAND APP:
would like to see a setting where it will alert you when you've been sitting for too long
---otherwise, the app is pretty amazing!

UPDATE 8/25/2015:
I lost my Mi Band in the lake last weekend. I have been missing it really bad so I just finished ordering another!

Great tracker! I bought this on a whim and pleasantly surprised! No problem with the sync on my iphone 6 plus. I use to use Fitbit the 1st generation and the HR monitor and got sick of the it malfunctioning when I tried to sync. Had to have too many replaced. Over it. But I am very happy with 3 plus. Get's the thumbs up!!!!!!! Charges perfectly and the app is extremely easy. Great purchase! I am happy!

I bought this for my wife and I over the summer. Love the versatility of having it on the wrist or on pocket. The app is the real seller as there isn't much to the device. Jawbones smart coach is awesome and the ability to enter food without an additional app is nice. Ended up losing mine. It would fall out of my wrist strap from time to time, or if I wasn't careful I would inadvertently pull it off my pocket. But, since it was so inexpensive, it wasn't a big deal. What I did find out is that I liked the idea of fitness trackers and decided to go with something more deluxe (garmin vivosmart hr)...if you are looking to try out fitness trackers, this is not a bad route!
