Great fitness band/tracker!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This fitness band/tracker has most of the features I want in a fitness tracker. I've had 2 fitbits and several basic step counters before buying the Vivofit band. After several years of counting my steps and using these products, I now have several features that are important to me when considering buying something new. I like to be able to see some of my data on the tracker itself (and not just on a phone, tablet or computer). I also was not happy with having to charge it. I would often forget to take it off the charger and would not get "credit" for an hour or a day's worth of steps! Probably shouldn't be a big deal but it is to me. I like that Vivofit has a replaceable battery that you can replace yourself AND that it supposedly can last a year or longer! I also want a tracker that can track sleep. The one feature I wish the Vivofit had was the ability to not only track "total sleep time" but to also break it down to "actual sleep time", like the fitbit does. Fitbit will take out time that you are awake/moving around and show you how much time you actually "slept" out of the time you were in bed trying to sleep! I hope Vivofit will add this feature. As it tracks when you are moving around, it could be developed to track this information. I also like that you can push a button on your band that syncs your data to your phone! One other feature I would like to track is "floors". It's not a huge deal but I did like seeing that info with my fitbit. Last of all, I love having my device in a "band". My fitbits were not the band type but were able to clip to clothing or be worn in a pocket. That was ok but I would forget to remove it from clothing and that would affect the accuracy of my steps too. I also did not like the wrist bands that fitbit provided to hold the device while sleeping. They did not work well. Having a band you can leave on day/night is a huge benefit! I've had the Vivofit band for a month or so now and have had no problems so far.
My Best Buy number: 0405130098
I would recommend this to a friend!

can i use with a regular computer
I have a computer and I can use the vivofit app on my computer. I also have the app added to my tablet (ipad) and my phone (droid phone). I hope this helps.
