Garmin vívofit Heart Rate Monitor Black

The Vivofit works fine, had problems uploading to Garmin Connect, have resolved the issue with the usb Ant+, now everything is good.

I bought this a few weeks ago. For the most part I love it. The things I love; Waterproof (a big need for me), uses a normal watch battery which is supposed to last about a year, a visual reminder to MOVE (the red bar of shame is what I call it), tracks basic sleep patterns and links to MyFitnessPal. The heart monitor is a joke! It is a pain in the butt to find the correct spot where it will be accurate and once you start moving and working out it shifts and loses your heart rate, distracting you from your workout while you try to maneuver it in place. Perhaps it's because I'm average size and not super thin, but I find it frustrating and annoying and would have preferred the heart rate to be right in the watch. All in all I do recommend the product, BUT don't waste your money on the heart rate monitor.
